Reviews for Fairgrounds Coffee & Tea in Chicago, IL
5 pm, Sept.10th > walked in to order cappuccino. Man and women behind counter didn't even look and kept their conversation... until I finished looking at menu to say "hi"...then they turned around. Cappuccino was expensive, heavy with milk, .. no frothbut ton of small bubbles. Already knew milk wasn't prepared properly. After walking to my car to take little sip and itliterally burned my tongue!!! Even after 5 hours my tongue feels unnatural. So fake and act like barista, yet ..... the guyjust boiled milk and poured ....! So, unprofessional and no way this place can be considered as specialty coffee shop. Youhave many options at other location with drinks prepared with care. Do NOT visit this place, my money and tip totally wasted. Read more
Very friendly barista and good quality coffee. Their location is great you just have to pay attention a little bit since their... entrance is kind of small and hidden. They do have lots of good and unique flavors like rose and agave. Their prices is alsovery reasonable for what they offer. Definitely will come back Read more
My husband, doggo and I stopped in while visiting Millennium Park, given they're dog-friendly. We ordered a couple of coffees... and both were delicious and fairly priced ($4+tx each). Friendly service, highly recommended. Read more
Stopped by while at Millennium Park. Great chocolate croissants (all pastries looked good)! Lots of beverage options. Tried an... iced Elixir... Mayan something... great spices. Great baristas and service. Also found a hidden architectural view... thebeautiful marble staircase inside the Chicago Athletic Association Hilton Hotel (same building). Read more
Popped in this weekend on a very cold January day in Chicago. The Vosges Chocolate Truffle Mocha was excellent. I especially... liked it because it wasn't overly sweet. Service was quick and friendly. Read more
First place I have found in America that cooks pastry properly, I have lived here over 5 years. Absolutely delicious pastry and... spot on coffee. Full of flavour, will be visiting again when we go back to Chicago in a few weeks. Read more
Great local specialty coffee shop. They have a pour over menu ( it's on the left) and espresso drinks. They were fairly busy but... the line still moved fairly quick. The staff seemed friendly. I got a local roasters Ethiopian pour over and it was good,exactly what I expected and hoped for. If you looking for specialty coffee this is a great place downtown. I would recommend andwould love to come back. Read more
Great coffee drinks! This little coffee place needs accurate and better signage to help tourists like me figure out where to... order without having to ask. Help yourself to water, but pay no attention to the sign offering water with bubbles, cuz there?sonly still tap water. Skip the cramp tiny space to drink your coffee and head right up stairs to the warm, darn, cozy lounge ifthe Chicago athletic club! They have 3 fireplaces up there and a full bar! Read more
