Fair Grounds

Absolutely delicious food and drink, incredible quirky and cozy atmosphere, and delightful service combine to make this one of my favorite coffeehouses of all time. Thanks for the great food and happy memories!

Had the hot chocolate and it was amazing! Chill vibe with indoor/outdoor seating.

Great place! Studied everyday here to pass an important certificate that changed my life.
The coffee taste amazing and priced well.
The staff was always nice and tried to remember your drink if you are a regular.

Best coffee I've ever had!
I tried the Aussie bites too, and they were super good.

This location is upstairs, and there is no elevator, so it unfortunately may not be accessible to everyone.
I would suggest calling and asking if they could bring your order down for you, but this may be a deal breaker for some.

They also had the AC on low. This is something that bothers some people, so I figured I should point that out. :)

Other than that, there are plenty of seating options, making it easy to get comfortable with whoever you come here with!
There are also board cames in the sun room. :)

Been coming here intermittently for years. I try a lot of coffee shops and this is one that always draws me back. Godfather is my drink of choice. The staff have really great interactions with the locals and regulars. The book exchange is a highlight!
Tried nearly every special latte on the board (campfire, nutella, etc) and have not been let down by any.

Great place with a very cool and eclectic vibe. Nice selection of coffees without being too overwhelming. The Nutella and the Campfire are my favorites so far.

This place is a definite 'must try' if you're in the area.

While I have become more of a regular at another local coffee shop in Norfolk, I remember a time when Fair Grounds was the only game in town and I love that they are still around and doing business basically the same was as they did years ago.

The coffee was good and the pastry tasty but I was a bit restless about the "garbage picked" chairs. I am sure its fine but I was kind of waiting for something to bite me.

Absolutely delicious coffee and food highly recommend.

What can I say this place is a landmark in Ghent. It is one of the best coffee shops around where you will feel right at home. There's really nothing like it. Whenever I'm having a bad day or if I'm feeling eccentric that is a perfect place to uplift my spirits or feel right at home in my eccentric attitude... I love the staff I love the decor and most importantly I love the coffee. I would recommend this place to anyone and I will put it up against any coffee shop. I love Fairgrounds!
