About This Spot

Stepping into Fair Grounds Coffee Cafe feels like entering a bright, lived-in nook that invites both quiet reflection and gentle connection. The sunlight spills through large windows, casting a warm glow across cozy corners where locals settle in with a book, their laptops, or a heart-to-heart conversation. It’s the kind of place where time slows just enough to savor each sip, yet the hum of everyday life keeps a welcoming rhythm.

This Norfolk gem carries the comforting, homey vibe of a familiar gathering spot—walls lined with simple decor and scattered seating options that encourage relaxation or focus. Whether you’re grabbing your morning fuel or lingering over an afternoon break, there’s an ease here that makes you feel right at home. The staff adds a layer of kindness that gently informs your visit, whether you’re navigating teas, choosing from creative coffee blends, or discovering unique specialties that play with flavor and tradition.

Beyond just coffee, Fair Grounds blends moments large and small—secret garden teas alongside exotic mocha variations, bakery treats like cinnamon raisin bagels, and sandwiches that become lunchtime rituals. There’s a quiet generosity in how the menu and the space come together, crafting an experience that welcomes regulars and newcomers alike. In this café, everyday routines find a little extra warmth, a little more care, and a subtle sense of community gently stirred into every cup.

Immaculate vibes. Feels like you’re in an old house but with plenty of sunlight and nice decor! There are a lot of little nooks to chill at and get some work done, and a parking lot which is convenient. The caprese sandwich was super mid and expensive but coffee was good and vibes were high so gotta leave 5 stars.

Very casual and cozy cafe! The prices aren’t bad, I paid $3.23 for a regular cup of hot tea, and they have a good selection on their menu! The lady working the register also was able to tell me which teas were caffeine free!

This is a super unique spot. The baristas are always so kind and helpful. The chicken pesto sandwich is my absolute favorite thing to order! I am moving out of town soon and will really miss this coffee shop.

Its a place for all to grab a quick cup of coffee or take a seat, talk, study, work, or even play magic. Been coming here for few years now and it's always been great.. Also Ruby's our rockstar!!

The vibe was so cute and cozy. The perfect place to study, chit chat or people watch. The coffee was really good and they had a wide variety of fun flavors to chose from. Will definitely be returning.

I used to come here back in the day when I worked at Red Dog Saloon next door. This place is still amazing as ever! The barista Elliott was wonderful and helpful! I live across the water now but will be making special trips back here to for the wonderful service!

I am tempted to not leave a review so I can have it all to myself. I just moved to the area for school and have been looking for a good place to study, hangout, and relax. This place checks all of the boxes. The coffee and food is great, the service was amazing, customers were even friendly, and I love the cozy atmosphere. I used to live in the mountains and go to a little cozy coffee shop similar to this one - the vibes are immaculate. Keep up the awesome work and thank you for providing this to the community.
