Fair Grounds Coffee Cafe - Nob

No food, but just a few pastries. Have coffee your way

I adore this spot. I come here to study frequently, the atmosphere is warm and cozy, the coffee is great (I love their cold brew they make in house). The prices are fantastic for a broke medical student like myself, really cant beat it.

Nice baristas in a comfortable space. Love that the monthly Open Mics are back. Audience actually listens and supports the performers. Coffee drinks are pretty good, and there are many options. Favorites are oat latte, mocha (for the BF), and decaf mocha with oat milk (on Open Mic nights). Dietary restrictions: Baristas pay attention and accommodate dietary needs. Kid-friendliness: Open Mic in a venue without alcohol. Games in the enclosed porch upstairs.

I’m a regular here and I always get the same thing (an iced rootie tootie and a chocolate muffin . It’s good every time and costs about $10 with a tip (always tip your baristas! The atmosphere is great too and the baristas and other customers are always so nice. It’s also right on top of a locally owned bookstore which is a definite plus. My only qualm is that it’s not super disability accessible but I’m fortunate that I’m able to get here even with my disability.

Their Banana Foster iced coffee and Ninja Turtle iced coffee are my favorite. Friendly fast service.
