OUR STORY.
Here at Fair Grounds Coffee, we strive to create a high-quality coffee experience. Whether it's your cappuccino, London fog to go, or the bag of beans you brew at home, we want your experience at Fair Grounds to be the best one yet.
We opened in the fall of 2015 as a fair trade, eco-friendly, organic, and ethical coffee shop in the Student Union Building. In addition to our Salt Spring Fair Trade Coffee and espresso, we also offer a broad selection of brewed teas, bakery items, and a variety of in-house grab-and-go items. Enjoy your favourite beverage and snack while on break from your classes.
