Foundation Coffee

Beautiful modern atmosphere, clean place, and delicious pastries. So why not 5 stars because I love large cup of coffees for my latte and their cups are the smallest.

You must try the baguette with the cream. Surprisingly delicious!

One of only three places in NOVA I will confidently get coffee. Consistent, always good, very clean, and top notch friendly service. Alot of times other coffee shops burn their product, these guys never mess it up. Highly recommend, the pastries/deserts are good too.

I am very happy to have found a coffee roaster in the DMV area. The Ethiopian pour over was good, the service was great, and the pastries top notch! We will definitely be back!

Delicious pastries & pizza as well as a nice selection of drinks. The open aesthetic inside made this back alley gem the perfect afternoon vibe! Try them out !!

I wish this place existed while I was in grad school - I can see myself spending weekends studying here. This a newish coffeeshop located at Fair City Mall. You'll have to drive past Kokee and down the back of the plaza to access it. There's limited parking outside.

They have a small but strong menu of coffee items and bakery items on display at the counter. The counter is located in the middle of the shop and you can watch them make your coffee. When it's done, they bring them out to you (how do they remember who ordered what??).

The decor is very simple and clean and there's plenty of seating, including some that overlook the entire store. They roast their beans in house and you can watch their process in the back.

My vanilla latte was well made, not too sweet, and I was pleased to find latte art when I popped the top of my to-go cup. I sat there for some time just relaxing and people watching. It's a great set up, calm and not too loud, and great to study or for a coffee date.

Highly recommend the cranberry baguette with cream. The shop is at the back of the shopping center. Cool design. They open 7am to 9pm Monday to Saturday. Close on Sunday. Most people there with their laptops.

Very nice cafe, love their matcha latte. It’s more on the sweeter side. Also- FREE wifi at your convenience. Lots of people on their laptops working type of vibe.

I loved the clean and cozy atmosphere. The staff was so kind and helpful. My brother asked a lot of questions about the coffee beans and the staff member was knowledgeable and kind. We loved our pour over, latte, and London fog. The pastry was good too! Prices were great too!

Top notch little coffee shop in a place you'd least expect it. Very well priced to top it off. Definitely worth the visit.

The best coffee I've had in Fairfax. They roast in-house so you get super fresh brews with a variety of sources and roasts. On top of their made to order pour overs, they probably have the best batch drip brew I've ever had. Their pastries are colorful and delicious, with many unique options.

The space is impeccably designed with plenty of seating and the staff is super nice and fast!

One thing I actually love about this place is their location. Even though they are technically in a mall, they are in a space by the loading docks and not with the other shops. To me, this let's them escape that mall-like samey feeling of malls.
