Trojans currently have 4 options for fair trade coffee on campus — I’ll add additional ones as we slowly get more venues to convert, listed in order of my preference:

Ground Zero Coffeehouse. It’s student-run, it’s 100% fair trade, it has a punk rock vibe. One downside: It’s only open mornings and evenings (7 am-12 pm, 7 pm to 12 am).

* What they serve: The Roasterie Organic Line fair trade coffee.

* To get there: Look across the street from the Registration building on Child’s Way, walk down the path between Marks Hall and Trojan Residence Hall, and follow the arrows on the little white signs that point you down the winding alleyway (PDF map here).

Doheny Tea House The place has both indoor and outside seating — perfect for a sunny day.

* What they serve: Peet’s Fair Trade coffee, along with non-fair trade regular and decaf blends.

* To get there: Go to the Nazarian Pavilion, on the back side of Doheny Library.

Tutor Hall Cyber Café. The engineering department must make some money for the university — They get their own café in their brand new Tutor Hall — So new that it’s not on any of the campus maps yet.

* What they serve: Peet’s Fair Trade coffee, along with non-fair trade regular and decaf blends.

* To get there: You can find it on McClintock Avenue, next to Parkside.

Law School Café. The lawyers, too, get their own place, with a 60-inch DLP television. It is, however, in a basement.

* What they serve: Peet’s Fair Trade coffee, along with non-fair trade regular and decaf blends.

* To get there: Go down to the basement of LAW, and follow the noise. The signage pointing to it could be improved, but the law students are quite loud.
