Very cool coffee spot. The Vietnamese Cold Brew is my go-to!

Got the on tap cold brew. It was good, I didn't wait, they filled the cup all the way up. No complaints. Not a lot of seating but I wanted to go so not an issue.

Ordered a simple coffee. Messed the order up by not making it while I waited for 10 min.

Fairgrounds Coffee has super nice staff and a cool vibe, but the drinks just didn’t hit. Our iced chai, honey lavender latte, matcha, and Italian soda all tasted kind of watery and flat. Loved the service, though — everyone was friendly and welcoming.

Got the banana sticky dates shaken espresso and it was not the best. Granted I’m pretty sure that’s on my part since I should have just got it in latte form. Will try again

I popped into the athletic club Fairgrounds to snag a coffee and take a meeting.

Key, the cashier, was friendly and helpful. Both with ordering and getting myself setup on Wi-Fi for client meetings.

Would definitely come back!

I first came to this place in 2018, and I’m glad it’s still standing strong. The staff never disappointed and the coffee is always great. They also offer discount to students.

Fantastic specialized summer drinks. Short wait, fair prices. Indoor outdoor seating. Highly recommend

Spending $5 on an iced tea and getting rude customer service is kind of insane. I used to be a barista and I never judged or looked at people with so much hate. I work with kids around the corner and am sad to see such rudeness.

Excellent local coffee options with cold brew on tap and pour overs in light, medium, and dark roasts. Plenty of bagged bean options to take home. Fast to-go sandwich options and a variety of kombuchas and canned beverages.

The coffee aroma will entice you in from the street, that’s why I stumbled into this coffee shop! The fast, friendly service, alongside the ambience of the store and adjacent lobby make this a fantastic spot to stop while out and around downtown.

Highly recommend Whirlwind for a pour over or any cold brew for lower acidity.
