Fair Grounds Coffee Cafe

Very casual and cozy cafe! The prices aren’t bad, I paid $3.23 for a regular cup of hot tea, and they have a good selection on their menu! The lady working the register also was able to tell me which teas were caffeine free!

A very hipster spot with atmosphere that is very small but cute, food that’s just okay, coffee that is great (which is unfortunate), but staff and service that is immature and lacks important self-awareness. It took a very, very, very long time to get two breakfast sandwiches. Priced at over nine dollars you would think it would be something to write home about, and it wasn’t. But the biggest letdown here wasn’t the food. It was a staff that is so pretentious that they are unable to be polite. They spent most of their time dancing and giggling, while customers waited in line and for their items, and then they apologized for “being too loud”. My husband walked up to ask about our food (which I’m pretty sure was forgotten about) and one of the staff members shrieked and said “oh my God what happened to your face? Are you having a reaction???” And feigned surprise before she went back to whatever she was doing. He walked back when he got the food and I turned him toward me to check his face as I thought something must be there in order to shriek like that.
There was nothing, he looked completely normal and has a very normal complexion. I looked over and the staff was again laughing. It’s a perfect place if you don’t value Customer Service, timely service, or an atmosphere where you aren’t purposely embarrassed for simply inquiring about your order.

No surprise college students enjoy the place but anyone older- I can’t imagine why they’d come.

I am tempted to not leave a review so I can have it all to myself. 🥰

I just moved to the area for school and have been looking for a good place to study, hangout, and relax. This place checks all of the boxes. The coffee and food is great, the service was amazing, customers were even friendly, and I love the cozy atmosphere. I used to live in the mountains and go to a little cozy coffee shop similar to this one - the vibes are immaculate. 💓

Keep up the awesome work and thank you for providing this to the community.

It wont hurt your business if you tip your delivery drivers. You usually order from a store 15 miles away from your location (30 miles driving for the round trip). Delivery person is expected to shop your entire order and deliver it for pennies.
Not cool.

Charming coffee place, nice staff. Ordered a pesto chicken sandwich and a coconut mocha iced coffee.
The sandwich was nice, the coffee was terrible, I can't speak for their other selections, but that ONE was not good, I threw it away.

Great neighborhood coffee shop. I've been going here for over 20years and have always received excellent service. The atmosphere is welcoming and eclectic as well.

Adore this cafe. My husband and I were out late and figured maybe we could find a cafe that was still open, they were and did not disappoint. Coffee was delish, clean, cozy, artsy atmosphere. :)

Came here once and they were out of cups, came again and they were out of espresso beans, came again they were out of hot lids, came this week and they were out of lids AGAIN! How do you run out of supplies so often??? Best thing about this place is the baristas. They're top notch. The guy with the mustache made me the best drink I ever had and the girl with tattoos is cool. I won't be returning to a place with such a poor and unreliable business ownership.
