Fairgrounds Coffee & Tea

Beware the Vietnamese cold brew. If you are expecting Vietnamese cold coffee, typically made with sweetened condensed milk, you will be disappointed. This coffee uses unsweetened condensed milk, so you are paying almost $6 for a cold brewed coffee with some condensed milk added. Why they don't just offer coffee with regular cream (and not call it Vietnamese) I don't know. Regular condensed milk is not an enhancement.

Overpriced and not good. Avocado was bland and old. Toast was burnt. Coffee was soso had to do a lot to make it drinkable. Would not return.

Great little place to sit and work or chill. Staff was outgoing and friendly. Bavon/ potato tacos what more needs to be said YUM!!!

Don't bother applying here. They list their jobs as paying $18-22 an hour when it's actually $13-14. They use the excuse of tips to justify the hourly 'wage'. The owner, Micheal, is a very disrespectful person. He doesn't introduce himself or talk to the employees, but expects you to bend over backwards for him. Much better coffee shops to work for.

Absolutely atrocious service! I ordered a simple iced latte and they gave me a hot drink. The worker reluctantly fixed the error after I’d asked.
Disgusting bathroom, no toilet paper, paper towels and blood on the floors. When we informed the staff, they’re reply was “We know, we’re out of paper towels” For the duration of our time there nobody went to tend to the bathroom. Extremely unsanitary.
Consistently out of food and drinks, went in on 3 separate occasions for Maple Pecan Latte and they didn’t have it any time.
Overall would NOT recommend Fairgrounds. Mulata or Starbucks are much better options. Will not be returning.

Beautiful inside. Excellent coffee. Açaí bowl is amazing. Great Vietnamese coffee ☕️

Coffee is great. Seating is unpleasant or unavailable despite the large space. The room mainly has tables for 4, often taken by one (studying) or two people. Unless they are willing to share their space, seating is difficult or uncomfortable. The large southern windows have no shades, so winter months half of the available seating faces directly into the sun. Good for grabbing a gourmet coffee to go, but I wouldn’t recommend for anything more than that.

Great staff. Very friendly and helpful. Very nice indoor space and plenty of shade and sun space outside.
A nice selection of drinks and offer coffee flights. Very relaxed.

I always love the coffee. I tend to get one of the variety of coffees they have for pour over. It is very nice to see a coffee place that focus' on that. The food is also great. The menu is limited, but I think that tends to help the quality.

Very good atmosphere and really nice staff. However I found both the coffee and lemonade to be pretty weak and bland.
