MMM. I can just taste that tahitian vanilla right now... or maybe the 20 below cold hot chocolate... maybe the chai... Fairport Village Coffee is in the village of fairport, off of main street, behind the box factory. Inside, you will find a very wide array of hot teas, coffee drinks, hot and cold drinks, pasteries and muffins. They also offer wines and spirits. They even make soups and wraps, even panini sandwiches. The location is beautiful. You can look out upon the Erie Canal. Check out the local artwork on the walls.. for sale dontcha know. Fairport Village Coffee offers Live music almost every night of the week. Check out some of the great musicians. Personal friends of mine that play FVC often are Bob Trombley and Julia Nunes. It's a great place. I have been a regular for about 6 years!

Every year, on the first weekend of june, the streets are taken over. White tents pop up all over Main Street Fairport from the train tracks to the Church at the end of the street. Vendors sell everything from fried dough to homemade windchimes made out of spoons... An eclectic array of food, music, and crafts are offered. There is also an annual book sale.

Food: thai, chinese, italian, hamburgers, hot dogs, crepes, daquiris, smoothies, gourmet sodas, fresh-popped kettle corn, BBQ, Mediterranean,greek.. you name it, canal days has it. Artisans : stained glass, birdhouses, photography, tiles, jewelery, paintings, pottery, glasswork - a dynamic array of goods extras : hair salons often set up booths ; massages, hair braiding... It's an awesome time as the streets are lined with hundreds of thousands of people. Friday night kickoff is the best. Live Music.. food vendors... and fireworks.. grab your friends, grab your wallet.. and head down to main street along the Erie Canal... you can even take a boat ride on the Colonial Belle! what a lovely way to kick off the summer.

When I have a craving for ice cream, I head to The Royal Cafe in main street Fairport. Instead of ice cream, you will find about 12 choices of hand made gelato. If coffee is your fix of choice, they make amazing italian cappaccinos and espressos. My drink of choice is Chai Tea. I must say, out of all of the Chai teas I have tasted, The Royal offers the best. I always enjoy conversing with the cafe's owner, Sadik, as he is always welcoming and talkative. The family that owns the cafe is Bulgarian I believe. Something near Italy.. haha.There are also several options for lunch;the chicken caesar wrap is a favorite of mine. Anyway, Royal Cafe has an awesome ambience in Main Street Fairport.. Check it out!
