Fair Grinds Coffeehouse Description:
A colorful, inviting room of painted bead-board and belt ceiling fans, the coffee shop attracts retirees headed to the nearby Fair Grounds Racecourse and any number of patrons working away on laptop computers. Outdoor seating, saucer-size cookies, free wireless Internet access, a lending library, and milk kept hot in communal dispensers converge in what is perhaps the city's most user-friendly café. Vegan-friendly dishes provide more options for lunch or a light dinner. The name Fair Grinds is both a pun based on the café's proximity to the Fair Grounds, the horse track where the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival takes place, and a reference to the locally roasted Fair Trade coffees brewed there.
