Froth Coffee Roasters

Such an adorable place inside and out! Emplouees were very friendly and helpful. We got a Frosted F Bomb and a Frosted Matcha. Both were to die for. We also bought some Organic medium roast coffee which they grounded up for us. We drove from North Peoria to try this place out... it was So worth it.

Always a wonderful place to grab some tasty coffee and chat with wonderful employees!
Last visit the barrista gave us a couple sample packets of steep coffee and I am enjoying it as I type this. Tastes better than my usual morning Peet's coffee!

So I've yet to try their coffee but the atmosphere is very inviting and so clean. It's taken a huge leap forward from the prior business. The owner Dean is a really friendly guy. Congratulations and thank you for taking pride in our beautiful, up and coming neighborhood.

Cute niche coffee Haus. You can roast your own coffee too!

So I'd give this place 5 stars because my Gator Toast was FANTASTIC and my hibiscus tea was perfect.

However, my husband (who isn't one for exaggeration when it comes to food) said his waffle was literally the *worst* waffle he's ever eaten. The waffle was dense and slightly caustic, likely due to excessive baking powder. Also, despite saying there was "grade "eh" maple syrup" being used, the syrup had a large proportion of corn syrup judging by texture and flavor. He gives 0 stars for the waffle. The topping was fine. His espresso was also good.

Stopped in here for the first time today. Amazing coffee menu! Super awesome service and it’s so cute inside and they have a drive-thru as well. New fave coffee spot for sure!

I am a former employee of Froth Coffee Roasters. I was employed by Froth for 1 year and 4 months, just about as long as the business has existed. On 06/15/2021 I communicated to the owner, Dean, about a policy that was in place that I believed to be unethical and erroneous. I was sent home for disagreeing with the policy and for utilizing my voice to express my beliefs. Upon being sent home, I reached out to one of the owners/investors of the business, Wally, to communicate my experience with Dean regarding the policy and for hope that we could find an appropriate path forward. For Dean, the path forward was terminating my employment with Froth under the grounds of "insubordination" on 06/16/2021. To be clear, simply reaching out to another individual of power at Froth about a problem I was experiencing was worthy of my termination.

In addition to performing the expected barista tasks of making delicious drinks for guests, performing laborious and grimy janitorial services both outside and inside, and providing a warm and safe environment for guests and employees alike, I also invested a lot of additional time and energy into Froth: I created a functional and organized stock room, I maintained the plant life, I trained new hires and I implemented a recycling system. - At one point I was considered a favorite employee and would be praised with statements along the lines of creating a clone machine to have multiple Dalaina's as employees. However, once I was on Dean's bad side it was game over.

It is perfectly acceptable to run a business how one sees fit, so long as those methodologies are not a detriment to those involved; employees and guests alike.

After less than 1.5 years of the business coming to fruition 5 women have been fired for various trivial matters. 1 man has been fired and immediately rehired due to a disagreement in policy (sound familiar?^). Despite the fact that Dean has no issues with firing people in general as a form of "punishment," absolutely nothing constructive was done when a sexual harassment concern was bravely voiced by a 19 year old woman against a 33/34 year old male new hire.

Deans mismanagement of his employees and inability to facilitate a safe, calm, and communicative work environment that treats all employees equally regarding "punishment" is the reason that this place is destined to fail.

I do not recommend supporting this business and I do not recommend that anyone attempt to seek employment here.

EDIT: Dean's response to my review and experience at Froth and his lack of accountability for everything I stated is the problem with this place.

Reputation should never be a concern when fighting for what one believes. I'll leave it at that.

They are currently operating out of a cool little bus until the building is open. I've been getting Americanos and the roast on their beans is perfect. It's not overly charred and has great floral notes. So fresh. Can't wait until the main building is open and they are roasting on-site.

The açaí bowls and smoothies are good, but every time we’ve ordered one there are CONSTANTLY ice chunks. I don’t mean little ice chunks, I’m talking about ones that sank the Titanic. It’s super frustrating when you’re just trying to cool off with a smoothie or açaí bowl.

I imagine the food could be good if it ever made the order properly drinks are pretty but taste mediocre not worth order plenty of better places around town
