Fairgrounds Coffee & Tea

I tried calling but calls won’t go through. Loved the service but did they change their avocado toast? I found out once I had left that it was nothing I’ve ordered before. The toppings were different, bread wasn’t even toasted and over all just not tasty. I’m a little disappointed because they their avacado toast used to be my favorite.

We just went for coffee and it was adorable! The plants and vibe keep you visually engaged, there are multiple types of seating from tables to booths and lounge style seating. The coffee was good and loved the industrial lineup of pour-overs. Fun to watch the barista. It was relatively busy so wait times were a little on the longer side, but still reasonable for an weekend morning. They do offer coffee flights which we didn't see until we already ordered. Maybe we'll try that next time. Will definitely be back.

Super cute place with a unique menu. My vietnamese coffee didn't taste of condensed milk much, but the caramel iced latte tasted amazing. You could really taste the depth of the bean roast and it was perfectly creamy. The place was packed on a Saturday afternoon, but staff was still quick and accommodating.

Breakfast burrito was pretty good but could’ve been better with more of the side sauces. The chocolate mocha was good but it seems like all the chocolate was at the bottom and I didn’t drink it over a long period of time and maybe I’m wrong but my expectation is that the chocolate is all mixed in when the drink is served hot. Otherwise, amazing place, great atmosphere, and great location.

The food and coffee was great. Great atmosphere. A lot of people doing work on a Sunday afternoon as well as people eating. Not a whole lot of tables available to do work with more than 2 people. The only outlets I saw were by the cozy sitting area. Also, it’s paid street parking.

Great menu and atmosphere but this place lacks consistency. I’ve been in several times, ordered the same items multiple times, but it always turns out different depending on who’s working. For example on two separate occasions I ordered the salmon bagel sandwich (both for dine-in), but one time it came out prepared beautifully on a plate with napkins and utensils, the second time it was handed to me in two separate to go containers with toppings on the side. I also had to go back to the counter twice to ask for silverware and a plate so I could actually prepare the sandwich myself. On two other occasions I stopped in for a beverage I saw posted on their instagram but both times the employees didn’t know how to make that drink. I’d like to know that I’m going to get the item that I order. The employees are usually friendly, but definitely need a lot of training.

Fairgrounds is a cool place with excellent coffee. Whenever people come to visit, I always like to take them here. I particularly like their mochas, rotating coffees, and their salted caramel cold brew. I'm here multiple times a week (whoops!) and the staff is friendly and helpful. It is almost always busy, so important to plan ahead if you're in a time crunch or planning to stay at the shop. I love having this shop in walking distance, but I also felt it was worth the drive when I lived a half hour away. It's also a nice spot to grab a coffee, then explore the neighborhood or the river.

I ordered from here once in the past and it was great. But every time I would try to order on Uber eats again it always says unavailable. So I tried to order directly from the site and there’s always a issue with the delivery time I would try to set. Even if I set the latest time possible or earliest time possible nothing would work. This is very frustrating.

With many coffee stops in Minneapolis, it can be hard to find one that stands out, but this is one of the best. From the moment I walked in, the decor was inviting, the space was well lit and there was plenty of room to move around. The atmosphere was comfortable yet unique, including the 'swings' you could sit at around the coffee bar.

The multitude of coffee and tea options made choices difficult, but every drink I tried I loved. I had an iced latte that was smooth and refreshing. I also tried a berry tea and the vosges coconut charcoal elixir, and both were excellent.

The food was also delicious all-around. I had the bacon and egg sandwich, which was on a soft-yet-toasted English muffin, and the yolk was cooked perfectly where it spread across the sandwich just right. Highly recommend.

Usually I really enjoy my drinks here but this one was hard to swallow. It tasted like watered down matcha. 😔
