Foundation Coffee Co.

Decent. The location and vibe of the cafe was good but the coffee was a bit overpriced for what is was! But, must try once.

The Breakfast Cuban sandwich is worth the trip to Foundation Coffee. This tasty sandwich is a fun take on the classic Cuban sandwich that Tampa is known for. The bread is soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The saltiness of the meat pairs well with the egg on the sandwich. We also tried the Goat Cheese Croissant. Another excellent choice.
The homemade Lavender sauce for the Iced coffee was good but not above average.

We are giving Foundation Coffee 10/10 overall for being innovative and making Breakfast fun with their take on the classic Cuban sandwich

On Sunday morning I was looking for a place to have coffee and quick bite.
Since I haven't tried the foundation coffee before and it was on my list so I took this an opportunity to have coffee at Foundation Coffee.
It is a small beautiful cafe with free wifi access where one cab work and sip coffee.
There is also a roadside parking available in front of the cafe.
Along with different options for coffee available at foundation coffee it also includes teas, Beer,wine and also to have quick bite like bagel, croissant etc.
After exploring the menu from the register area I ordered Macchiato Hot Coffee, Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese, Butter Croissant and Cold Brew for me as well as my friend.
The service was good and soon in 5-10 minutes we got our order.
First I had bagel with toasted pretty well with Cream Cheese spread which made it delicious.
My friend had butter croissant which was delicious hot and toasted in oven.
Then i had hot macchiato which was good and freshly roasted coffee.
Then we tried our cold brew which my friend also said that it could have been better. Maybe it was not our taste.
All in all amazing cafe with multiple stuff to sip and delicious food.

Excellent location, and environment, very relaxing! I loved that they had decaf coffee choice for the cappuccino that was excellent. Great experience

I came to this location for morning coffee several times during the week of March 3rd. I had training in Ybor city for a week and I love a good cup of coffee. I saw that Foundation coffee was in walking distance of my training site and jumped on it.

I ordered a Cafe con Leche for myself and a medium dark roast with cream for my coworker. I love a Cortado cuban coffee and was happy to see it on the menu along with the Cafe con Leche. Their coffee had a unique taste to it, almost like a licorice bite to it, which my coworker instantly noticed and i really enjoyed. I walked in after a neighborhood regular and he brought his dog in with him. I thought it was nice that it was also dog friendly business.

The baristas seemed very knowledgeable and laid back. The location of this place is in a very cute area and the roosters crowing 🐓 and walking towards the sheriff's office at 7:30 am added a funny touch. I really enjoyed my coffee, so much that I came back every morning during my training class.

Welcome back to Tampa. Foundation has some of the best coffee and food. Their staff is always friendly and welcoming. I was sad to see the Bunker go but so happy to see Foundation take it's spot. I wish they had some comfy reading chairs but still a great spot to grab coffee and relax. This is a must visit for good coffee.

Amazing coffee! I am very pleased with the service. I like the industrial decoration and the warming atmosphere. I order a coffee and a cinnamon roll. Everything was delicious! Definitely recommend!

This is the first time I have ever been to this place. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese, on Cuban bread. When I received it, I had to laugh. The egg was clearly microwaved into a perfect 2inch rectangle a quarter of the size of the bread. There was hardly any cheese, and there was 2 very thin pieces of bacon. I had to eat half the bread to get to the egg. The size, quality, and taste of this breakfast sandwich was not worth the $9 I had to pay for it. I would not recommend this item on the menu. I cannot vouch for other items, but this was ridiculous. If it wasn’t take out that someone else got me, I would have left it in the counter.

I usually hangout at this place over the weekends to get some reading. The ambiance is cool and coffee is okay. I remember the one time the barista made my cafe con leche with the milk that was about to expire and it had a funny taste. I complained about it to her about why this coffee taste sour. she quickly realized the problem and replaced the coffee. The couches are comfortable and over all this place has a positive and warm feeling.

Such a warm embrace when you walk in, the staff is amazing and very friendly. The food was absolutely amazing 👏 and the ☕️ was amazing definitely would recommend and I will be back!
