Fairgrounds is a corner spot, far East side Milwaukee with huge bay windows perfect for sunny days. The best part about this spot is the fact that it leans into greenery, a hub for mobile working, and has seating fairly spaced a part. They have coffee on tap! Something similar to what Vendetta Coffee Bar also has but this is the brighter, lighter version of the more intimate coffee bar. Honestly every coffee I've tried here has been quite a hit, including the on tap ones. Highly recommend the Viet Cold Brew, Matcha Latte, and cold brew on tap. They have both still and sparkling on tap which is also nice (currently the sparkling is not in service). The mirrors really enhance the lighting and spaciousness of the area. You'll encounter lots of younger individuals here, college, WFH, graduate, or regulars. I haven't run into too many families/kids here. Parking is the only tough part around here; there's 2 hour curbside otherwise on the weekends you can snag the free on Sunday curbside. Internet is great for work and study! Love Fairgrounds coffee, top spot for students and working honestly :)edit: HUGE shoutout to staff here!! They accommodated for my friend's dietary restriction of not eating egg. The order came out with aioli which has egg, but the staff was super understanding was willing to swap out the aioli for something else in a new order.

Love stopping in for a quick to go latte on a walk. Haven't had the opportunity to sit in but it's always busy when we come in. The holiday/seasonal lattes are always great. My go to is the ubbe oatmilk latte. Looks like a great place to study, lounge, or have an intimate meeting.

My favorite coffee shop in Minneapolis! An extensive coffee and tea menu that's mostly locally sourced. Super fun seasonal drinks, but also the classics. The only food I've had are their overnight oats in the prepared section (which are amazing btw) but the food always looks good when I'm in there! It gets super busy, but I somehow always find a spot by the time my drink is ready. Love that they serve Rishi matcha! Nice place to chat with friends.

An awesome coffee shop downtown!Parking is easy to find and the big windows allow for lots of sunlight to come in.Whether you're looking to post up to work, cramming for a school exam or just lounging around with a good book, this place is for you!There is a section with comfy couches, however power outlets are scarce. You'll have to look to the bar seating with stools. My one gripe is the stools don't have a foot rest so it's a bit uncomfortable after sitting there awhile. They have a couple of fun swing chairs you can sit on the side of the counter.They have a great selection of coffee and tea, and cold brew on tap. On this visit I went with a hot chai latte and it was delicious!They also have a wide selection of breakfast and lunch sandwiches, bowls, salads and bakery items.This place caters to all - college kids, remote workers, and retired folks all flock to enjoy this cozy spot.

New-to-me menu item to share a five-star review : the sweet potato bowl! Loved the combo of flavors and boy was it statiating. Normally this is the type of dish I'd order in the fall given the warmth and ingredients, but it was darn chilly in the coffee shop today (AC on high!) and this just sounded tasty.That it was! Combo of quinoa and farro topped with plentiful sweet potato, kale, pumpkin seeds, cranberries and kale. Plus, a nice drizzle of lemon tahini dressing. I added chicken for some extra protein. And per usual, I had myself a matcha latte as well - both went down a treat!

They're not cheap but good lord that's one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had in my life. And the service is super friendly. I got the cafe miel, $7 for a 16 oz, absolutely worth it. They serve pastries and food as well.

A great cortado this morning and a nice space but when I didn't find any power outlets near the comfy seating, I finished the one coffee and headed onwards. They've made a design decision not to have the laptop folks here for hours and that's perfectly acceptable. It means that while I enjoyed the one coffee, i did not have a second or a breakfast sandwich.On to the next![Review 20667 overall - 237 in Wisconsin - 1648 of 2023.]

Breakfast sandwich options, delicious pastries, amazing drinks, americano.. this place catered to every person in our fam. Beautiful open space (even with swings by the counter). We made the 13 minute trek from our hotel just to eat breakfast here. And then it's just a hop skip and a jump to the art museum. We had a breakfast sandwich, cheese danish, and avocado toast! All was really delicious, we left no crumbs behind!

the food is good, however they only use single use plastic cups for their cold beverages, which is horrible for the earth and a bit of a turnoff.
