I love coming here because it’s spacious, they have friendly service, good baristas, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. Mario, who has been working here for 11 years, is a staple of the cafe. I love supporting the business and visit weekly.
My friend and I wanted to go out for breakfast somewhere with a nice indoor-outdoor setup. We settled on the beautiful and very dry back patio of Fairfix! What a lovely spot. The falafel wrap was loaded and very tasty. My cappuccino was high quality. There are so many items on this menu which look incredible! Will definitely come back to use the wifi and eat soon. The staff was great! Really friendly and welcoming.

What a find! A cute spot with delicious food, tasty tap beer and back patio ambiance. Get the Lord Huron, you won’t be sorry.

I've been to this cafe twice, each time following a hike at Cataract Falls. Fairfax has its share of local cafes and eateries to cater the outdoorsy crowd. Fairfix Cafe has some simple but varied options that range from breakfast sandwiches to a Mediterranean plate to all kinds of salads and sandwiches in between. On a Monday afternoon around 1, it was steady but not overly full. I got the fattoush salad with sliced avocado. A small was plenty for lunch and it had a nice array of chopped lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, pita chips and feta. A nice lemony vinaigrette came on the side and it was overall a refreshing & light lunch option. I enjoyed it. Food came quick and service was nice enough. It was good-simple, basic food and no frills l local cafe.

Made a special Saturday Evening trip out to Fairfax to try your gyros. Although your posted hours (both on your website and on Google Maps) say you're open till 10:00pm, you were closed up tight & dark with everyone gone at 8:15 pm. MAJOR FAIL Just TRY to do business like normal people, OK?

Iconic Fairfax destination in the heart of town. Great food! Superb coffee! And wonderful friendly staff! Shout out to Mario who was both the cook and the server for my birthday outing. As it turned out it was also his birthday. Thanks for the delicious avocado toast, the yummy baklava dessert and the happy smiles, Mario! ¡Feliz cumpleaños!

Thought I’d stop by this cute little café to grab a quick bite to eat. I ordered a pastrami sandwich, ham, sandwich, clam chowder, water, and Coke. Glistening rainbow like the customer service.

I'm giving a 4 star only because the food was surprisingly good, and it was a holiday. The mediterranean plate is sparse on tabouleh. The salads were fresh and tasty. The system used where an assigned number if given to be placed on the table for a server to find/deliver the food is very broken. The service was just horrible. They were working hard against an ineffective system. Most food was delivered to the incorrect table. One customer simply asked for a refund after her order was "lost". The person taking orders is also managing the restaurant at the same time. This could work if the system used and service both improved. Thank you.

New look, better menus, good food! Nice to welcome the FairFix! Try the FairFix Grill (veggie sandwich) and the shareable avocado and beets salad.
Excellent menu offerings, good service, just wish there were a few more wine options
Mediterranean and Mexican food offerings. Beer on tap and coffee drinks too. Popular for cyclists and locals too!
