An absolute delight of an experience!! I’ll start off with the basics—prices are fantastic and the food and drink were delicious. For under $11 I was able to get both a drink and a breakfast meal. The breakfast hit the spot and the drink was the lightest, smoothest mocha I have ever had. They also have an easy service station where you can add more honey, brown sugar, or simple syrup if you like things a bit sweeter!

Fairgrounds Coffee has super nice staff and a cool vibe, but the drinks just didn’t hit. Our iced chai, honey lavender latte, matcha, and Italian soda all tasted kind of watery and flat. Loved the service, though — everyone was friendly and welcoming.

Excellent local coffee options with cold brew on tap and pour overs in light, medium, and dark roasts. Plenty of bagged bean options to take home. Fast to-go sandwich options and a variety of kombuchas and canned beverages. The coffee aroma will entice you in from the street, that’s why I stumbled into this coffee shop! The fast, friendly service, alongside the ambience of the store and adjacent lobby make this a fantastic spot to stop while out and around downtown. Highly recommend Whirlwind for a pour over or any cold brew for lower acidity.

The cold brew coffee was delicious. The staff were very friendly. They have a small selection of breakfast and lunch foods. Indoor and outdoor seating is available.
