When visiting Chicago last week I was looking for coffee spots within walking distance of Grant Park and I found fairgrounds. I'm so glad I chose to stop in! The indoor seating area is small with one larger table, a single seat & table, and some bar like seats. I was able to snag the single seat with a small round table to myself. It was so cute inside and while I wish there was more indoor seating there was a lots of space to sit outside which I also enjoyed after finishing my food. I got the tahini caramel latte, the staff was very kind in helping me decide on a drink, I made a substitution to have it made with almond milk and it was delicious! So rich in flavor and a great coffee taste without being too sweet. Also you have to get the breakfast burrito with an extra side of salsa. I've never had a breakfast burrito and salsa like the one I ate at Fairgrounds and I'm still dreaming of it! The burrito was piping hot, had so many different bright flavors and the salsa on the side was very bright and fresh. Absolute 10/10

Anyways - walking in they have kiosks to order your food. We took awhile ordering our food since this was our first time here. I got a turkey/ham baguette which was really large. I could only finish half and had to take the rest to go. Other folks got the egg dishes and they enjoyed it. Seating wise was at first hard due to limited space but after folks left we were able to sit and eat our brunch. I was expecting more French but it's more or a bare store being runned (Subways/togos etc. I would come again and the prices were reasonable.

Cutest place to get Japanese Souffle Pancakes!…read more We got the strawberry cream cheese pancakes. They were so light and fluffy! You can taste a hint of the egg in there. But they are so JIGGLY. I liked the strawberry sauce on top and it paired well with the fruits. They do serve a lunch menu but only available after 11am. We also got some drinks, but they were ok. Nothing notable. Definitely the main highlight of this place is their pancakes. Service was quick and they have people that run the food to you. Pancakes do take about 15 minutes because they are freshly made and you can watch them make it at the counter. There is a lot of seating area, and it is a really cute Japanese style cafe.

I arrived and ordered my coffee. They have different milk options which is great for people with allergies. I inquired about the sausage used in the breakfast burrito and the employee said they had no idea what kind of meat it was. A sad day for people with food allergies. I opted for a safer option. The food and pastries are not made in house. I thought it would be but that's okay. The coffee shop itself is very inviting. There are a lot of area to sit and work. The ambiance felt very comfortable. I only stayed long enough for my breakfast and coffee to be made/warmed. The coffee was floral but bitter. I had to put sugar into it to try and balance the bitter burnt flavor. But given an option between a very popular name brand or this place, I'll stick to Happy Monday. The sandwich bread was burnt. I wouldn't try the food again.

There was only one other table being served when we arrived so it was overall quick service which worked for our afternoon. If you like sweets it's worth a stop here as they had a lot of options.
