Fairfax Coffee House

Good coffee but refuse support them

We went here a couple of times, and the food, coffee, and service were excellent! I highly recommend this coffee shop. Try the bagels or biscuits, but really everything looks good. They have a wide range of options.

Pics are of a “quiche” (pictured with the tomato and cheese on top) and a sausage egg and cheese sandwich on sourdough. The main reason I feel compelled to leave this review is because the quiche was not what I would call a quiche, rather it was more of a frittata. A quiche typically has a crust, this did not have any type of crust. It was simply an egg bake of sorts with I believe some hash potatoes in it or something. I am not a picky eater at all, but I didn’t even finish this. The eggs were soggy and it was tasteless as a result. As for the sandwich it was extremely underwhelming, all slapped together and no taste. The bread had no toast to it at all. I mean just very disappointing. Its location and cute decor must lure people in but when I walked up to the counter trying to find menu information someone reluctantly finally acknowledged me and it was just not a good vibe overall. The restaurant itself was cute but all seats including the two tables outside were taken so I just went across the street and ate on a bench at the park. Maybe I ordered the wrong things or came in on a bad or busy day (Friday late morning), but I would suggest the owners consider changing the name of their “quiche”, because that is very misleading. And maybe take a look at how the eggs are prepared because they had way too much moisture in them. I saw some other reviews where they had food that looked quite good so maybe if I ever end up back there for some reason I will try something different but like I said, I was very disappointed that I ordered a quiche that wasn’t a quiche at all. The sandwich was just alright but I was starving and it was basically the only thing open at the time which is probably why it was so packed.

Really appreciate that they were chill and dog friendly inside. Their espresso drinks were really good, I especially like the flat white. We also got the avocado toast and biscuits and gravy—both were delicious!

First just want to say what a relief it was to find a safe space in a small town in WV. We were traveling through and looking for places to grab breakfast and didn’t quite feel safe until we came across Fairfax Coffee House. Like an oasis in a desert. A wave of calm came over us as we entered to see art, pride flags, and positivity everywhere.

Also just a side note the owner? manager? walked in while we were eating and addressed the entire staff “good morning all you beautiful people”… what a joy.

As for the food and drink? Spectacular. I had a peppermint latte which was perfectly sweet and minty while still being able to taste the bitterness of the espresso. 10/10

The biscuits and gravy? I’m the type of person to rarely order food I think I make better at home and let me tell you, my B&G are world class. But… so is Fairfax Coffee House’s. The pepper flakes are such a good touch. You can taste the hint of bacon grease in the gravy (which as anyone who truly knows good B&G, that’s the key ingredient). 10/10 no notes.

Forgot to get a photo of my meal but here’s my clean plate. ?

They make the drinks properly, including stretching the milk correctly. The sandwiches were on point. I enjoyed everything and love this place enough to come back in the future.

We stopped in on our mini-getaway and absolutely loved everything about Fairfax. The ambiance was inviting and relaxing. We had a larger party (8) and didn’t have to wait for our food or drinks.
The cold drinks (lemonades w/ strawberry boba, iced chai, iced Father Richard’s Mocha, and Vanilla Oatmilk lattes) one hot Father Richard’s Mocha and hot Americano were delicious.
Our breakfast sandwiches were all spot on and excellent. My daughter has a gluten allergy and they were very conscientious to take care for her food, so very appreciated.

Absolutely a stop you need to make.

Every time we vacation to Berkeley Springs, we make at least one - if not two- trips to Fairfax coffee. We love the atmosphere, the food and the coffee! The staff are kind, efficient and quick! The atmosphere has a cozy yet roomy feel because they’ve made the most efficient use of space!

The steak sandwich I ordered was very tough. Also, the steak was not cut up at all so it wasn’t very pleasant to eat since I couldn’t bite into it without the whole piece of steak coming out.
