I LOVE THIS PLACE!! Super chic style vibes and the food is top notch—especially the cheesecake and the egg&cheese&sausage bagel, which really impressed me. It’s quiet and cozy, perfect for some high-quality solo time. Highly recommend this unique little sanctuary

Wanted to visit this cafe for some time and finally had the opportunity to visit it recently. It really lived up to the hype! Great ambience and modern layout. The beverages and desserts were phenomenal. Tiramisu was probably one of the best we’ve had in the area.The only downside with this place is that it’s a bit harder to locate as the entrance is in the back alley. Also, due to its popularity, securing a seat can be challenging.

Really good coffee here, with a great ambience. Gotta go around the back of the strip mall to get to this beautifully designed cafe. Well-staffed, takes a minute to get your coffee when busy, pager-based order. The espresso used is fresh and delicious. Interior is inviting for solo and group outings. Would continue to come here.

This place is a hidden gem for anyone looking to get stuff done or just relax with a great cup of coffee. The music is low enough that you can actually concentrate, which is a rare find these days.And the coffee? Absolute perfection. I recently explored beyond my usual order and tried their ice cream, and let me tell you—it’s just as perfect. Creamy, rich.I wish they will continue growing to more branches.

Foundation Coffee is a fantastic spot for locals who need a comfortable space to work, study, or simply savor a great cup of coffee. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, offering plenty of seating that makes it easy to settle in and focus. But a word to the wise — this place fills up quickly! By 10:30 AM, it’s bustling, and with limited parking, an early arrival is your best bet.Their extended hours are a major plus, giving you the flexibility to stay productive or unwind well into the evening. And while their pastry selection may be small, every option is thoughtfully chosen to perfectly complement their coffee and tea offerings. Whether you’re craving a buttery croissant or a sweet treat, it’s the ideal pairing for your drink of choice.If you’re looking for a local spot that makes you feel right at home while keeping you fueled for the day, Foundation Coffee is definitely worth a visit. Just grab your favorite brew, find a cozy corner, and enjoy the vibe!

Was pleasantly surprised by the coffee shop. It is on the back side of a shopping center so a little hard to find at first. It does get busy so parking can get limited. It appears to a limited menu but everything was delicious. I loved how their coffee for dine in was served in ceramic mugs. The attention to details with design was nice. This is a great place to work and enjoy coffee. Was afraid it was going to be loud because of the industrial interior and happy that it was NOT loud! Definitely recommend and give it a solid 8/10 review!

Foundation Coffee Roasters is slightly hidden, being on the backside of a shopping complex, but worth the trip. I ordered a mocha and it was a delicious work of art. My husband enjoyed his hot chocolate as well. We also got the crumb cake, which was a perfect accompaniment to our drinks. The gentleman who took our order was friendly and the location was busy, but we were able to find seats at a communal table. I'd definitely come back. Thanks for a great experience.

This establishment offers a wide variety of pastries, and while some of the pastries we sampled were enjoyable, the quality of the coffee is also commendable. The interior is spacious and well-maintained. However, due to its popularity, it can be quite challenging to secure a seat, especially for those wishing to relax with a coffee and pastry. Additionally, the cafe's location in the back of the shopping center might present a navigational challenge for first-time visitors.
