The man taking my order and friends was great! We sat outside since it was very pretty. A fly ended up getting into my coffee and when I went to tell the barista he kindly made me another one with a closed lid! The coffee was amazing and so was the burrito! read more

Centrally located in Knox/Henderson across from Trader Joe's. They have patio seating and keep it pretty clean, and there's plenty of seating inside, too. The staff is hit-or-miss; some are nice, but others seem annoyed if you have dietary restrictions. The coffee wasn't great; my vanilla latte tasted odd, almost sour. The Caesar wrap was also a letdown. It's kale-based but wasn't tossed in dressing, and the chicken and bacon were tough. The side sauce had a good spicy kick, but it wasn't enough to save the wrap. read more

Great Ambiance, the shop is on the smaller size however it's very cozy. They even have swings located by the registered and a nice outside patio area. Now let's talk about coffee I'd rate it 5/10. It wasn't the worst coffee but it wasn't good enough to finish. It had a very strong musky taste. We also got a chai tea latte. I didn't know chai could be spicy but with the amount of cinnamon it was. read more

Grabbed an iced coffee after my Trader Joe's shopping trip and it's so yummy! I ordered a honey lavender latte iced, I have also gotten it warm before. Definitely one of the best honey lavender coffees I have had, it's very well balanced. I have also gotten breakfast sandwiches before and they were very good. This cafe offers a nice area for sitting either indoors or outdoors and employees are also very kind. read more

I'm a pretty adventurous eater but a pretty boring coffee drinker (I typically just drink my coffee black). But, given all the options on the menu, I decided to try something new. The Vietnamese Cold Brew was delicious, as was the Fire Roasted Chicken Melt. I just wish there was a little more chicken. The outdoor patio is great and the service was top notch (it helped that the girl taking my order said she could tell I worked out). And since this place is only a mile away from my apartment, I'll definitely be going back! read more

The blended cold brew with caramel was so bomb! it was refreshing and perfect for this summer heat. not too sweet either and it was good. I see this all the time shopping at trader joes across the street. Decided to stop in one day before walking the katy trail and I'm so glad I stopped in. read more

Good and friendly service. The food and drinks are good too. I like how there's a lot of seating inside and outside. Though the stools by the window are a bit uncomfortable, they're a kind of high up with no foot support. The cafe gets busier after lunch time. Most of the indoor tables were filled. read more

I stopped by Fairgrounds Coffee & Tea a few days ago just to get a sweet coffee. Immediately upon checking in, the cashier/barista was very unfriendly and short with me when I was trying to order. Since they do not have caramel macchiatos (the best they could do was a vanilla latte), I ordered the Vietnamese Cold Brew. This drink is supposed to be semi-sweet and creamy as it is made with condensed milk. The coffee, which was $7, was completely sour and bitter. It lacked any trace of sweetness, and I ended up tossing it when it was still 2/3 full. This is one of the notably worst drinks I have ever tried, and for the steep price of $7 (with a prompt to tip on top of that), I was incredibly disappointed. The coffee was just unpleasant and, to put it frankly, gross. I added a star because the establishment itself is pretty cute and themed well. But, I will not be returning and honestly if you're in the area, I would recommend just sticking with Starbucks. read more

Very cool coffee shop. There is a range of coffee and sandwiches and baked goods. Staff is friendly. Has a really cool laid-back ambience. Caution that parking around here can be such a challenge. Even with the retail parking that is right across, it can get full. read more

Chai latte - the flavor isn't great and it's pretty watered down (milked down?). Matcha latte - better than the chai latte but a little sweetness would go a long way. Great, fast service. A bit pricey. read more

Love this chill vibe, matcha was awesome and food was delish . Owners very welcoming and friendly. Can't wait to go back...

FOOD INSTAGRAM: @northtx.gemz **** WHAT THEY'RE KNOWN FOR: spacious coffee shop. A huge staple for local Dallas people. THE VIBE: lots of space to WFH or study. Super busy spot on the weekends especially in the morning/afternoon time. Parking is questionable. PRICE: ~$15 WOULD I COME BACK? Yes! **** Overall Rating: 9/10 - One of the best dirty chais I have! It wasn't super overwhelming with the cinnamon and spices but perfectly balanced with the coffee. I believe something about the drink was house made which made it special and taste better (I just forgot it's been weeks since I had this lol). Overall, Customer service was great and I would definitely come back but the parking is I believe on the street. read more

Food was really yummy. Tater tots are the best !!!! Service exceptional, I order a side of chicken and they mistakenly put it on the grilled cheese, as soon as we told them they brought us the right item. We sat outside, the chairs could be a little more clean, but it was ok in general. Coffee wasn't the best (might've been what I ordered) but I definitely want to go back and try something else! Love this place !! read more

Very good coffee and atmosphere. Staff very friendly and fast service. Nice hangout spot

Great location, right near the Katy trail, so you can take your coffee and walk or sit at one of their many indoor or outdoor tables. I tried a vanilla matcha latte and a latte on tap. The latte being on tap was cool, and it could be served instantly. It wasn't too sweet, so if you're a sweet coffee lover I would add some flavor. The matcha was fantastic, it wasn't overly earthy like some can be. Of all the coffee shops I've been to in the area, this is definitely my favorite! read more

Went for breakfast and had a great bagel with egg, sausage and a spicy pepper relish, my wife had a bacon breakfast taco that also had egg and a corn, black bean salsa that was fresh and crisp. Wide selection of coffee drinks, the ladies were very helpful in describing the drinks and all the options available. Great patio and comfortable booths inside. read more

The ONLY reason I gave this place four starts instead of five is because it feels like a literal OVEN in here. They have their thermostat at 81. I WISH I was kidding. It's just too hot in the summer here for that! We came in to cool off and I proceeded to sweat profusely the entire time. Otherwise...food and drinks here are AMAZING. Fast, friendly service and delicious menu items to choose from. It's all amazing in quality as well! Apologies as I cannot seem to recall the name of my fave drink here, but it is the pineapple purée/smoothie with matcha on top. Even my husband who HATES tea of any kind really liked this one! They use great quality matcha too - the real deal! I highly recommend it here if you don't get hot easily or if they crank up the AC ;) . Definitely check it out! read more

I finally tried this place after going to Trader Joe's often and seeing it across the street. The place itself is super cute. I was greeted immediately when I walked in which is always a plus. I looked for a seat and noticed that there were barely any outlets, I came here to work so I wasn't able to stay very long because of this so that was kind of disappointing. Being that it was my first time here I asked for a recommendation on food, the guy recommended the breakfast tacos and they were a 3/10. I gave it a 3 because they weren't stingy with the ingredients at all but the tacos were COLD, the salsa was as well and it wasn't as flavorful as I'd like being that it had so many ingredients. I got the Vietnamese iced coffee because it's always so good to me. However, when I got this one it wasn't sweet AT ALL, so I asked the lady what kind of milk she used and she said condensed so I was confused and she offered to make it sweeter, she did make it a little sweeter but it wasn't like the Vietnamese iced coffee that I'm use to. Their menu online doesn't reflect the prices inside AT ALL. Online my order should've been no more than $12 but my total ended up being $18 for breakfast that I didn't enjoy. read more

Good place to grab coffee and relax , solid prices, good service and clean. I usually come here for lunch and it's peaceful

Love this place... it starts with the Amazing Inviting Front Patio ... Once inside it's Refreshing, Bright, Cheerful! It's Cozy with plants and Very Relaxed seating inside .. Menu is Awesome there's a Cooler for Grab and Go which offers Cold drinks , yogurts , over night oats, etc .. My Favorite is the Matcha and Chia Seed.. Then on to the Coffees and Food to Order ( I really like they don't charge extra for Alternative Milk) The Coffees hot or iced are Amazing and they will tweak it anyway you want !! Not like that everywhere you go! Customer Service here is Spot On!! Breakfast burritos with Impossible Sausage is Sooooo good! Huge Selection Here Something for Everyone... I gotta say Derrick is incredible he will find out what you want and don't .. and then create it he nails it !!! He's Mr. Customer Service always Friendly and Makes Sure your totally Satisfied.! I pass 4 Coffee shops in my neighborhood to go Here!!! Highly Recommend read more

Nitro on tap? Ceremonial matcha? Cold brew foam. Yes. They gotchu on all front. Side of chia pudding? Mhm. Maybe a baked good? Done-skies. They have sandwiches, too. It all just depends on your mood. Charming aesthetic what with the rope hung swings and Etch A Sketches that adorn the counter. Still and sparkling on tap alongside copper cups. (yes; like the ones you see for Moscow Mules). A great spot for a one-on-one or solo beast-mode-ing. Seating can be limited. Plug units can be found at the high stools near the windows. Parking can be found across the street in a Parking Garage also meant for Trader Joes and neighboring residences. read more

Small space. Around lunch time on a weekend it would be hard to get a spot with 2+ people. If it's just you, then you should be able to get some seating in the back and they have plugs. I found the menu to be a little confusing in terms of the build your own matcha / espresso, but seems to give people options. Definitely a big coffee place. Got one of the iced coffee drinks and reminded me of a Frappuccino. I wish there was more of a description of what the actual drink was because I didn't now it came topped with whipped cream. It was a little too sweet, but still decent. read more

For a coffee shop. This would be a quick and easy 5 stars. First, the obvious. The coffee there is if a very high quality (please don't say Starbucks has high quality coffee :) ). The presentation of the coffee is also very nice with pretty cups. Feels like something you expect in Europe. The service was very good with nice employees, polite, and explain items on menu when needed. I personally did not eat that day, but looking at the sandwiches on the plate of others (yes yea, staring at someone's plate is rude. We will ignore this part for now :) ), food looks amazingly delicious. For sure going back to try it out. They have indoor and outdoor. Both have a very nice and lovely ambiance. Especially the indoor area. read more

The space is really cute and has a good amount of seating, between the patio and indoor seating. I really wasn't impressed by the coffee.

good but watched the worker use his bare hands to cut my strawberries and put the granola in with bare hands. Grossed me out. Also took very long. read more

This spot is superb fun and coool. It literally has swings at the coffee bar. Its located right across from traders joe. I been here a handle full of times and it really gets PACKED. Smart to download the app and order ahead! The times I have been here, I ordered - Sammie's breakfast - one of my faves got it 3x already Matcha Nitro - hmmm questionable. It wasnt like what the picture depicted. But hey I like matcha Matcha latte - wasn't sweet but you can taste the matcha (can be acquired taste) Vanilla latte - good I planned to come by if in the area. It has a cute hang out patio outside. The inside can be crowded at times. There is parking across from the coffee shop. The garage or street parking if you can find any. Wifi is provided! read more

Received a matcha latte from one of my friends. It was made with milk and lavender. The lavender really brought out the matcha flavor, but the lavender wasn't overpowering. Matcha itself had good flavor, seemed high quality. Decided to go in to see the store myself one day. The store gave showroom, happy, bright vibes even in the early morning. I ordered an americano and it was average, not super bold, definitely mild tasting espresso. In this case, I think I did like the matcha better than the americano so if you are a matcha person, I would highly recommend trying it out. All in all, what really stood out to me was the service. The barista was super kind and welcoming and that went the longest way and was a great way to start my day! Thank you Fairgrounds! read more
