Reviews for Fairgrounds Coffee & Tea in Chicago, IL
Super friendly and patient staff, coffee and food were very good! They could make a few improvements regarding sustainability... (we were given our coffee in paper cups even though we dined in and they only had single use spoons and water cups when we werethere) but other than that it was great. Read more
Great coffee, excellent service! The baristas were friendly, moved quickly, and executed flawlessly.
Seriously some of the best breakfast I?ve ever had. Matcha was made perfect, the people were nice too. Glad I came.
You have to try their Famous Funnel Cake Fries! Delicious! This is a great place to grab something to eat, have a cup of coffee,... and maybe do a little work but they get really busy during lunch time. Read more
Chill coffee shop vibe with great selection of hot and cold coffees. Many iced taps to choose from and knowledgeable staff.
I have been here many times now since they opened. The experience has been highly variable. There is just no consistency.... Sometimes orders are accurate, sometimes the drinks are way off. For example, I ordered a cortado today and received the drinkin the photo. The amount of milk was more akin to a latte than a cortado. The speed of drink making is also on the slow side,even compared to somewhere like Blue Bottle or Intelligentsia. Read more
Gorgeous location with TONs of seating. Couches, booths, large tables, swings, and even a fireplace. A pretty extensive menu for... a coffee shop. It looks like everything is made to order.. at least my ice tea was freshly brewed. There?s a water station withcold still and sparkling water. The only issue is that the train is really loud and comes by every 5 minutes. As to be expectedin this neighborhood! Get here early, they fill up quick! Read more
It has significantly gone downhill since it opened. Today I ordered a pain au chocolat and a lox bagel. I did not receive my... pain au chocolat (I ordered pickup), and the bagel was toasted, but stale. So one this I ordered I didn?t get and the other itemwas inedible. It?s like collectivo, but worse. I gave them 2 stars because the coffee didn?t taste burnt :) but I spent $15 ona meal that I didn?t get or couldn?t eat. Read more
