Fairgrounds Coffee and Tea

Typically we loveeee fairgrounds but last time I was there we did not even finish our drinks. Not sure if it’s just new people working there or what but the latte tasted like flavored milk.

Very inconsistent spot. The baristas make coffee drinks in no particular order, not to mention get your order wrong.

The best bacon egg & cheese sandwich I've ever had

Two visits in a row the same girl w blonde hair and bleached brows made me the wrong coffee and was SO RUDE. It’s a shame bc I have had excellent coffee here before just can’t believe the poor quality of service. It wasn’t even busy either time.

Solid pour over coffee, solid food, really bad for doing work there on a laptop.

They have quaint seating for just reading a book or using a well charged laptop.
But the only outlets in the whole place are at the bar-type seating. Stools there are crazy uncomfortable, have no foot support, and every single one is bolted to the floor in front of a pole of the bar...seems clearly designed to keep people from staying long. I would sometimes stay at a coffee shop through the morning and also get lunch there, but wont ever do that here which is a bummer

I never write reviews, however from the moment I stepped into Fairgrounds I was blown away. This was a Two Thumbs Up...to the sky experience!

The dining area was dry clean and the staff was extremely polite and helpful.

Vanessa took the time to go through the entire coffee drink selection with me. I finally settled on a ice latte with vanilla and caramel-only to find out they were out of vanilla. Vanessa assured me that she could whip up something equivalent to my original order. It was absolutely phenomenal!!!

I am new to the area but will make this my go-to coffee place!

This place is a must for any coffee enthusiast!

Offering pour overs from 7 different roasters. Excellent coffee, neat vibe near the lake front.

Drinks are fairly good but be prepared to wait forever for them. I've been three times, each time service was not terribly fast (not busy and simple drinks) the latest they completely forgot about me until I asked about my drink 15 minutes later (times from the text receipt so it's not hyperbole). If I didn't live a block away I wouldn't bother, and honestly even the "convenience" might not be enough.

Cool spot in Milwaukee, not far from the lake! Great lattes, drip coffee, and options for breakfast. We had the tacos and burrito and didn’t have to wait too long for our food on a busy Saturday. Will definitely stop back!

With a clean, nice interior, the offerings of both food, coffee, and tea are great! The salted caramel cold brew in particular is very good. They have a good variety of breakfast items as well and friendly staff. Plus, this is a great location close to several parks and the lake!
