Drink Coffee, Change the World

Hey guys! I have no idea why I never thought to mention it before, but one of my absolute favorite coffeehouses, Dominican Joe, only uses fair trade, organic coffee!

Dominican Joe works with Makarios, an Austin based non-profit that is committed to educational development work in the Dominican Republic. They work directly with the farmers and families, paying them higher wages and investing in their communities through advancing education and promoting self-sustaining skills. So every cup of coffee you buy is not only fair trade and organic, it goes directly to supporting farmers and communities in the Dominican Republic!!

Dominican Joe is at the corner of Riverside and Congress and has a really cool study atmosphere. The people there, both working and studying, are some of the nicest and most laid back people I've ever come across, which makes it a comfortable atmosphere as well.

For more on Dominican Joe, check out their website and mission statement here.

Hope to see you guys there!!
