Conscientious Coffee

otally out of character with the sports bars and lunch dives around it, the Equal Exchange Café serves caffeine with a side of conscience, specializing in organically grown, fairly traded, locally roasted coffee. The décor is a reflection of this environmental and social experiment, with high ceilings, counters and stools made from wood recycled or salvaged from other restaurants, and a glazed cement floor. In addition to 40 varieties of organic coffees from Latin America, Africa, and Asia, you’ll find breakfast and lunch served, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. There are even instructions about what to throw away and what can be composted to eliminate waste. Arpie
