Fairgrounds Coffee & Tea

Excellent place to hang out, work, or grab a drink. The food was really good. Street parking can be hard to get but that's to be expected when you're in the North Loop. Not a ton of seating. Great atmosphere and lighting.

Very cute, quirky and bright. Fun spot to get coffee with friends!

My partner and I were traveling through Minneapolis Today and were looking for somewhere to get matcha before we continued our drive. So glad we found this place. We are really into fine Japanese green teas and matcha, and have high standards. This place was amazing. The service was so impressive - they not only answered all our questions with patience, they were excited to share samples with us of their nitro matcha and their chia matcha pudding. We got ceremonial grade matcha lattes because they were out of the imperial, and they were the best matcha lattes we have ever had. We were informed that there is another location in Chicago, And we will definitely be stopping there on our drive home to hopefully try the Imperial matcha! Cheers and thanks again for an exciting decor aesthetic (we loved the swings), impressive service, and delectable drinks!!

Fantastic place with a massive menu. Plenty of options in every category, including tea, which I appreciate. You can even get coffee/tea flights, like what? Also, the interior is bright, fresh, and colorful. If you can snag one of the swing seats at the bar, do it. Your inner child will thank you. (I do wish they'd put some kind of sun protection out on the patio seating, though. Gets real hot.)

very cute, lots of decor, lots of seating. they were out of a lot of stuff on the menu but my drink was very good.

Usually pretty busy, but it's a sweet place with a lot of options for drinks and food. If you are a chia pudding lover, guess what! They have it! The atmosphere is nice and the location in the North Loop is pretty convenient for any fancier shopping you may be doing in the surrounding area.

Coffee was good, avocado toast was fine (it's basically guac toast, there's lime, onion and cilantro. Not necessarily a bad thing). Their wi-fi blocked a website I tried to visit, and gave the reason that the topic of the website was "sports," which was apparently not allowed. Very strange. I don't know if someone is deliberately forbidding guests from looking up sports on the wi-fi, or if it's some sort of default network setting that no one has thought to turn off.

Açaí bowl was thick and fresh 10/10 and the white peach blossom tea wasn’t very good and they don’t offer rebrews which I wasn’t a fan of. Later in the day I got a ginger turmeric latte.
Both times I ordered my drinks the lady was rude and unwelcoming. She was heavier set bangs and glasses. That was a negative aspect of my visit. Just had an attitude and was not friendly. I had A friend meet up with me and I asked her what her experience was with her and she said the same thing…

Other then the service and spending $30 on a latte, tea, açaí bowl and having to pay for parking the atmosphere was great here and I’ll likely be back.

Yummiest lavender latte I've had!! This place has a chilled out hippie vibe and the batista who took my order was very pleasant.

Love the interior here, a great place to meet folks for a cup of coffee or tea!
