Fair Trade Cafe

The Fair Trade Coffee Company Cafe is one of a series of prominent and competitive cafes located within the first block of Glebe Point Road. Nestled alongside the institutional cafe Badde Manors and opposite the bustling, trendy Clipper Cafe FT certainly has enough competition. What distinguishes FT from the rest in this cafe laden locale is its' comfortable atmosphere and ethical approach to business.

The interior of FT boasts a tastefully decorated terrace shopfront. Original artworks adorn the walls whilst comfortable recycled lounges and tables are generously spaced to provide a groovy ambiance. The extra capacity of FT makes it an ideal candidate when the other local cafes are packed to the rafters.

The food and coffee at FT is consistently delivered at a high level. The diverse menu offers delicious cultural highlights including Moroccan Lamb and Nasi Goreng. My personal favorite however is the Portuguese chicken burger. The lashings of sauce and fresh organic eggs combine nicely to satisfy both elegance and indulgence in your palate. Sacred Grounds Organic Coffee provides the beens and their pedigree is easily detectable. The FT Baristas serve up a large latte to match any of their competitors and conform to the high standard of the area. Perhaps it tastes a little better knowing that the profits are supporting ethical procurement and production in developing Nations.

The Fair Trade Coffee Company rates 4 beans out of 5.
