I tried fareground for the first time time last week, and I instantly fell in love with their coconut water Matcha. It's refreshing and full of flavor. Their regular Matcha is just as good and cream top is insane. The service is impeccable and it's a very cute area to sit indoors Or outdoors. read more

faregrounds is my favorite place to get matcha. it's such good quality and its such a good portion. i wish they were open on sundays!!!

Excellent Experience at Fairgrounds Cafe! My husband and I had such a wonderful experience at Fairgrounds Cafe! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and made us feel like we were enjoying something both healthy and special. We ordered the Miso Caesar Salad, Chicken Caesar Wrap, Americano Coffee, and Matcha Latte. Miso Caesar Salad -- The presentation was excellent, and the taste was SO GOOD! Every bite was fresh and flavorful. Definitely one of my favorites! Chicken Caesar Wrap -- The presentation was great, and the portion was very filling. My husband especially enjoyed it and said the taste was excellent. We were both very satisfied! Americano Coffee -- Excellent! I also really appreciated the organic sugar. One thing I love about Fairgrounds Cafe is their focus on organic and plant-based ingredients. It makes the food and drinks feel fresh, healthy, and thoughtfully prepared. PERFECT! Matcha Latte -- Oh my goodness... it was SOOOOO GOOD and DELICIOUS! Definitely a must-try! The Ambiance -- The atmosphere was aesthetic, peaceful, and relaxing. Even though the area was very busy, my husband and I felt so comfortable and relaxed inside the cafe. It was such a nice escape from the busyness outside. Customer Service -- The staff were very friendly, accommodating, and welcoming. Great customer service truly makes a difference! A special THANK YOU to Arvien, one of the owners, who personally made me feel special and took the time to make sure everything was okay with my order when my husband and I visited. I truly appreciated the kindness and personal attention. It meant a lot to me. OVERALL: EVERYTHING WAS EXCELLENT! We even ordered some food to go because we enjoyed everything so much! We will DEFINITELY be coming back and can't wait to try more of the menu. Fairgrounds Cafe, keep up the great work! Your food, atmosphere, healthy choices, and customer service are all wonderful. Good customer service = more business! Good luck, and keep it up! We'll see you again soon! -- Irene read more

My friend highly recommended their matcha, so we made a point of stopping by -- but I think we caught them on an off day. They were using a different oat milk than usual, and it made the drink taste pretty different from what she remembered, so I'm not sure we got the full experience. That said, the staff here is SO friendly! We came in near closing time and they still agreed to make our matcha drinks for us, which I really appreciated and definitely didn't expect. Our friend also raved about their sandwiches, which we didn't get a chance to try this time. Next time I'll for sure be back for both the matcha and the sandwiches -- I have a feeling a normal day here is a much better showing! read more

Ok I cane to try their coffee and debated on food options. I heard alot of hype about Faregrounds and so I se to try it, I only ended up trying the salted vanilla foam latte and honestly it was just decent to me. Thought the coffee could have been better but it was not to me. The service was nice, the man at the cashier was amicable and gave good insight on what to get. The ambiance is like cafe/coffee spot and very small inside. I do want to one back one day tho to try their sandwiches! But after today I hope the hype is correct about the sandwiches. -Marshay D. read more

I stopped by here for pickup on a weekday just before the lunch rush around 11:30. For some reason I was expecting a larger seating area and space overall. It was coffee shop vibes. Regardless, the infamous crispy chicken Caesar wrap made me pretty happy for a wrap. Just the right amount of crispy and the right amount of miso Caesar. I have had many a chicken Caesar lunch wrap but this is probably the best one I've had. Will be back to try their burritos . Service was good and my wrap was ready 15 min after I called so just enough time to drive over and grab it. read more

Faregrounds - Crispy chicken Caesar wrap - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Faregrounds is my go-to matcha spot in West LA. I love my matcha on the sweeter side, and this place isn't too sweet like La La Land but also not insanely earthy and bitter. Their miso chicken Caesar wrap with crispy chicken was also so delicious, and this summer they had a peaches and cream matcha seasonal special that was amazing. I ordered ahead to avoid the line and came early at 7:30am to avoid any crowds but this place deserves all the hype! read more

Faregrounds - Strawberry Foam Matcha - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

WOW... so the food here is AMAZING! I definitely will give them that... the Caesar wrap was absolutely delicious and thats what i came here for. My problem is the drinks... im not a coffee or matcha drinker at all, but I do love a chai latte, so this is what I ordered. When I got it and took the first taste, I automatically knew there was coffee in it. When I returned it, the girl looked and me and said "of course there is, its a latte... latte means coffee". I kind of blew this comment off and explained that I would like chai tea with milk and she agreed to remake it. What i got next was literally just hot water with a tea bag and foam. At this point I went in and just figured, ok this isnt working, so maybe I can just try a matcha since thats what they seem to do best. When I asked she looked at me blankly and said "sorry we just closed so I cant make anything else... you can come back next time and tell them that I said you could get something for free". She didnt give me her name, offer a refund, and by the way, they had closed 1 minute ago. Literally 1 minute. At this point I had to put the water in the trash and leave. Im sorry, but this was absolutely ridiculous! Don't have something on the menu if you dont even know how to make it properly... or maybe they need better training? It really ruined my experience and makes me question if ill be returning, which is really a shame because I did enjoy my meal. read more

I have been bamboozled by yet another breakfast burrito. I stopped by for a short rib breakfast burrito as the menu description made it sound really interesting and somewhat unique compared to the majority of those found throughout LA. The menu says this burrito comes with "eggs, short rib, crispy potatoes, fontina, pickled red onions, and gochujang aioli". The cashier also asked me what sauce I wanted which I thought was odd since the burrito already comes with the gochujang aioli, but she offered a cilantro, chipotle mayo, and "hot sauce". I went for the cilantro sauce getting confused and not thinking to ask about the gochujang. I also later found out the "hot sauce" is a calabrian hot sauce and not just any old "hot sauce". If that was mentioned I probably would've tried that but how many people think to ask what kind of "hot sauce" is used when it's not specified to begin with? The cross section looked decent but definitely so little short rib compared to the other photos and tik tok videos I've seen. Naive me should've known these were paid influencers getting special treatment, so obviously they're getting more short rib. The short rib itself had decent flavor but it was just so dry. The potatoes were not crispy at all and more like homestyle potatoes, soft. What really made things worse was the missing gochujang aioli and fontina cheese. There definitely was not any of it in here and I'm kicking myself for not bringing it up to the staff but honestly, it's something that shouldn't be forgotten to begin with. The cilantro sauce was basically sludge and very mild in flavor so it didn't elevate the burrito flavor much. To drink I tried the recommended Salted vanilla foam latte, although not too sweet, it didn't have much flavor. I couldn't help but notice the lack of cleaning too. I sat for almost an hour (9:30-10:18) before I saw anyone clean a table while many people had left tables dirty. Even when I sat at the first table and moved to a second table, I had to clean up spilled sauce, sticky residue, and wet areas on my tables to not dirty my own arms or phone. The space isn't very cozy and the interior tables are crammed together. I asked the cashier if the wi-fi works fine outside and she said the wi-fi "isn't very good and pretty spotty, it usually doesn't work outside". I was hoping to initially try their caesar wrap and ended up here for breakfast so I tried that and was disappointed but now I don't have plans to return for anything else. read more

Heard about this spot because my friend saw it on social media. I usually don't trust social media reviews but I was pleasantly surprised by this one. They're known for their chicken Caesar wraps, which you can get grilled or crispy (I got the crispy option). It's a really small spot, but they have a few tables inside and outside. You can self order on a tablet or place your order with a staff member at the front. They will call your name once your food is ready. Now onto the food review! Chicken Caesar wrap (4 stars) - bomb! Not overly salty or drenched in sauce. It was really balanced. Chicken was super crispy, had lots of meat and wasn't dry. Would return to get this. Chicken pesto sandwich (2 stars) - another crispy chicken, which was good but sandwich itself was a miss. The bread was so hard that you couldn't bite into it. Such a shame because I feel like this had potential to be good. TL;DR get the crispy chicken Caesar wrap! Skip the chicken sandwich! read more

This is one of best banana matcha in the area! It's very hard to find banana matcha which tastes good and not artificial or without taste. So happy I found this place. The sandwiches were fantastic, waited about 30 min for them because place was very busy but I didn't mind. The only thing is they gave me regular chicken to the wrap instead the crispy one I ordered. Taste of everything was fantastic, I'd recommend! read more

A lovely gem in the heart of Beverly Hills! I've heard about Faregrounds from Instagram and was pleasantly surprised by the healthy quality of dishes and simple matcha menu. The matches I've had here are great, they are ceremonial based and not overly sweetened like some cafes in LA. I love knowing that there's spots like this in this part of the city for a good breakfast/lunch. read more

Finally gave the viral Chicken Caesar Wrap a try, and for once the internet didn't overhype it. The chicken was perfectly cooked--juicy, crispy, and packed with flavor. Every bite had the perfect balance of fresh romaine, creamy Caesar dressing, shaved parmesan, and just the right amount of crunch. The wrap stayed crisp without getting soggy, and the portion was surprisingly filling. This is one of those rare viral foods that actually deserves the attention. If you've been debating whether it's worth the hype, the answer is absolutely yes. I'll definitely be back for another. read more

Small intimate breakfast/brunch/lunch spot tucked away in BH. Food was delicious but their matcha was next level. Why I am trying this now is beyond me. 1. Short rib breakfast burrito: braised short rib, scrambled eggs, hash, pickled onions-game changer, and Gochujang aioli all wrapped up in a toasty flour wrap. Choice of sauces but honestly can go easily without the dipping sauces. Chose the cilantro one and no regrets here. 1000% recommend 2. Açaí bowl:balanced my salty with a cold and sweet flavor. This açaí bowl was just divine with its icy cold açaí base, almond granola, fresh banana slices and blueberries all drizzled with coconut bites and honey. Fantastic. Also highly highly recommend 3. Rose matcha: washed everything down with rose foam matcha. Excellent as well. The rose aroma was delicious. Overall 1000% recommend. Coming back to try the lunch menu. read more

A very solid place for breakfast and matcha! I've been to faregrounds twice now and the service is always excellent, everyone who works there is so sweet and patient. I got the breakfast burrito with added bacon and it was pretty good (though I was starving so my review might be a little skewed lol). It's a good size and the filling is generous. Love that they include one dipping sauce for free, no upcharge! I got the cilantro crema and it was the perfect addition. My only complaint is I wish there were more textures in the burrito, it kind of turns into mush after a few bites. Wish the potatoes were crispier! But overall still really delicious. Drink-wise I got a matcha americano the first time and a matcha blueberry the second time. The matcha blueberry was so good, their homemade blueberry sauce isn't too sweet which I appreciated. Overall everything was solid and it's a great spot if you want breakfast that doesn't completely break the bank. read more

I am so amazed at how good this place actually is. Although it is on the pricey side, the wraps and sandwiches are actually gigantic! Yes, indeed, the hype for that caesar wrap is worth it. You must go and try it with the crispy chicken. They already put enough dressing in the wrap itself, but they also include a small side of it too. I also tried the favorited spicy don, which was enough for 2 people as well. The cheese was melted perfectly onto the chicken cutlet and the perfect amount of heat is in the vodka sauce. It also came with a side of chipotle sauce and extra vodka sauce which was hot in it's container. My friend tried their banana matcha and rates it a 5/5 and I tried the tiramisu latte which I would rate a 4/5. You can taste the quality in their food and drinks. Luckily, upon my arrival, the line was not long, but as I was sitting outside enjoying my food, the line began to grow. Honestly, please check this place out. I will be back soon!! read more

I stopped by around opening time on a Thursday, and it was already pretty busy, which was a good sign. I ordered the Breakfast Steak Burrito and the Pistachio Cream Matcha. The burrito is definitely on the pricier side, especially with the added protein, but the portion is huge and very filling. They weren't skimpy with the ingredients, the filling ratios were well-balanced, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The Pistachio Cream Matcha was definitely on the sweeter side, but it had a great pistachio flavor that I really enjoyed. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick despite how busy it was. Parking was also surprisingly easy. There's a garage on N. Bedford Dr., across from Jon & Vinny's, that offers free parking for the first two hours before 6 PM, and it's only about a 2-minute walk to the shop. Overall, I'd definitely come back to try more of their menu items! read more

This place is a great easy brunch spot! I was craving a Caesar wrap specifically and it did not disappoint! I got the miso Caesar salad as a wrap with crispy chicken and it was delicious. The dressing on the side is so good too - I'm a big sauce girl and didn't have to add too much which is a great sign. Portion is big too (2 meals for me). I also got the blueberry matcha which was insane. I love matcha and this one definitely passed the test. I love how they had unique flavors too bc you can't find a blueberry matcha just anywhere! It wasn't too too busy when we went but not a ton of seating inside. It was also raining but there's some seating outside too which would be nice on a pretty day. Definitely would go back for the wrap + matcha read more

I waited over 2 hours for this viral chicken Caesar wrap. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. The wrap had good savory, umami, salty miso,Caesary flaves but was REALLY DRY. It was like 90% sad soggy dry breadcrumbs, 7% dry shredded chicken chicken, and 3% lettuce. It even costed extra to add the chicken. The tortilla was grilled but also pretty average. Hopefully just caught them on an off day cuz this was not worth the time, money, or hype. This wrap eugh. $4 chicken $15 wrap Paid $21 read more

I didn't get a chance to try the miso caesar chicken wrap, but it's definitely on my list for next time!!! The wait was around 45m and unfortunately, time was not on my side. This review is for the rose matcha tho!!! Wow, divine. I ordered it without the vanilla syrup and skipped the cream topping since I'm not usually into overly sweet drinks or cold foam. It was perfectly balanced and honestly prettyyy bomb. I make rose matchas at home with rose water all the time and this was almost as good as mine LOL. Jokes aside, the space itself was cute and packed with folks. With how viral this place has become online, I'll admit I was a little skeptical because social media hype can sometimes oversell things. But in this case, I do think it's worth checking out if you're in the area and can manage to snag parking. read more

The coffee here is decent however you have to refinance the house to afford to drink coffee here on the regular basis. Crazy high prices, $2 extra per shot unreal.

This place for sure lives up to the hype! The miso caeser with the crispy chicken is very good! Definitely the best I've had in LA. The Thai basil steak wrap is soooo good I love the meat inside it's cooked perfectly and so flavorful. I wish it was available as a bowl because the rice was so good with it but it can be a bit too much pairing rice and tortilla together. The honey crunch wrap is okay it didn't have much flavor. it is skippable in my opinion. The banana cream matcha is soooo good. The banana cream tastes like you're eating actual bananas and I get extra matcha so it's not too sweet. The girls working are nice and they still give good customer service even when being overwhelmed with a lot of customers. Wait can be a little long during busy hours and it doesn't have a lot of seating but definitely worth trying! read more

Flat whites, cortados, espressos, & macchiatos. Growing up it was just a cup of coffee now we have mochas, cappuccinos, and matcha. If you're looking for an exceptionally good brew Faregrounds is the place for you. Faregrounds is a charming café in Beverly Hills that serves expertly brewed beverages and thoughtfully prepared meals. They use ceremonial grade matcha, syrups are made in house, and they offer cold foam toppings. The décor is charming and the atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing. Barista Lauren was an absolute doll. Greeting every customer with a warm smile and cheerful demeanor. She recommended the Salted Vanilla Foam Latte. I mentioned I wasn't a big fan of the "salted" and she told me she could make it without, so I ordered it with almond milk. While I waited I heard regulars rave about the food here. I made a mental note to come back for lunch. I've never had a cold foam beverage before, so I was pleasantly surprised with my drink. The foam was thick - almost like melted ice cream. If I didn't have a straw I would have ended up with a milk mustache. LOL! I liked that the vanilla bean seeds were evident in the foam - further attestation that they use quality ingredients. The beverage was light on sweetness and nicely balanced. The coffee wasn't overpowering and the milk didn't dominate. Out of all the coffee shops I've tried in Beverly Hills, Faregrounds is my favorite. read more

Now THAT is how you make a chicken caesar salad wrap, ladies! My medical specialist across the street that I am gatekeeping recommended this place despite it being overrun by influencers lately. She even stopped and suggested I take out my phone and order ahead 20 minutes before my appointment ended. Thank god she did. It wasn't super crowded when I got there at around 2:00 on a Tuesday, but there was still a decent line. I was in and out pretty quickly and finishing up my sandwich at home by 2:30. Everything you'd want from a Caesar wrap - crunchy, hefty, delicious. Served with a side of really great miso caesar dressing and filled with a heaping pile of delicious crispy chicken that's perfectly breaded. $20 for a wrap with chicken which is unfortunately the norm for this area. But if I'm going to pay $20 for a sandwich after a bi-annual non-invasive medical procedure then it better be from Fairgrounds! read more

one of my favorite spots in BH. I'm in the area often for doctors appts, etc. and I will always stop in for lunch. Their salted vanilla foam latte with 2% milk is SO good, and for $7 for 16 oz actually feels fair in this economy. I actually haven't tried a lot of their menu because every time I come I can't branch out because I love the Thai wrap so much. I used to get the Thai steak sandwich served as a wrap but now they've added it to the menu as a wrap & it has nice, which I like for a little more substance. Everyone who works here is extremely kind and will help with the menu if you need it. I really want to try the miso Caesar & the cheesesteak... like I need it tomorrow, but I know I'll be back soon. Keep in mind this place stays busy. The drinks come out fast but if you're getting food and there's a line; except a 20~ or so minute wait at least, but they'll let you know this too.
