Fair Grounds Coffee Cafe
806 Baldwin Ave # 2, Norfolk, VA
Crema's Take
“Fair Grounds is a charming, intimate spot that feels like studying in a sunlit vintage house, complete with cozy nooks perfect for settling in with your laptop for hours. The coffee is genuinely excellent and the staff (especially Ruby!) are known for their warmth, though the small kitchen sometimes struggles to keep up with the crowd. Whether you're cramming for exams, catching up with friends over a slow pour-over, or just need a reliable neighborhood refuge with parking and wifi, this is the kind of place that makes you want to keep the secret to yourself.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Wifi. Parking available.

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…
