13. Finding A Connection To Your Past Through A New Career Path In Coffee Brewing With Jeff Hargrove of Fringe
Jeff Hargove, a long-time professional photographer, owns a well-known neighborhood café in the Marais called Fringe. Part coffee shop, part photography gallery, the concept came to him after discovering speciality coffee. Born in the states but having lived outside of the US for most of his life, left him exposed to many different cultures. School is what initially brought him to Paris and after an international career in commercial photography he decided to pursue his own unique concept of what a coffee shop could be. After years of waiting for the right space Fringe opened in 2016.
Supplementary to the café Jeff self-published a fine art book named Paris Coffee Revolution dedicated to the history and evolution of specialty coffee in Paris, highlighting the first shops that emerged and some of the first roasters in the city.
Today at Fringe you can expect to find a dedicated espresso bar serving a constant rotation of single origin roasts alongside house-made pastries.
