Foundation Coffee

Such a cozy place hidden in back of the mall. Great music, coffee and pastries. Baguette was tasty. Not that expensive and great vibe.

I have been in a lot of coffee shops and this is easily one of the best I have been to in the US. The ambiance is wonderful and calm, I want to take a nap here. It is tucked away in a fun way to make it feel like a hidden secret. Most importantly, the coffee is wonderful. I don't mean that they make good cappuccino, which I'm sure they do. They know how to use the good beans they have to bring out the flavor you miss out on in most coffee shops in the US. They are grinding appropriately and doing measurements. Delicious.

My favorite cafe to go to! Usually it’s really crowded throughout the day but they roast their own coffee and it’s awesome!

I think some other nearby coffee shops even buy foundation’s roasted beans to sell coffee

Updated review:

I went again for a dine-in experience. The workers were not as friendly as I expected. One was a little rude to us. The coffee was not special and they actually made a mistake in one of the drinks which was supposed to be with almond milk but thankfully I was setting in front of the barista and saw him using regular milk. If I didn't notice that, the person would have had an allergy reaction to the coffee.
The cake and baked goods were below average, nothing special. It's a busy place and can be good for doing homework or study group meetings but personally I will not visit it again.

Older review for carry-out:
The latte was ok, nothing extraordinary about it. The pastries were good, but again not special. To be fair, I got everything to-go so it might not be the best judgement. I will update the review when I do a dine-in hopefully in the near future.

So far, one of the best coffee shops I’ve ever visited. The atmosphere here is so calming and nice. It is a perfect spot for getting the work done. The coffee here are very delicious with a wide variety of options ranging from simple pour-overs to authentic lattes. The pastries here super delicious as well with different types of tarts and cheesecake. My favorite one is egg tart. Let alone the very great and respectful staff members. This is definitely the spot for a nice cup of coffee. I definitely recommend going there and bare in mind that the spot is behind the shopping center as the map takes you to the center.

Me and my best friend were there yesterday. I got chai tea latte and it was really good. I love the ambiance it is cool and a lot of space to sit, work or even they have meeting room. Also, people who work there, they were nice always smiling! 🌝

The coffee and my cranberry scone were both very good, and I also like the interior design of the place. Service was fast, but the counter person was distant, didn't smile or otherwise go out of her way to make us feel welcome. Maybe she was just having a bad day. I have other friends who come here and I will likely meet them occasionally. Hopefully, my next experience will be better but for now I'll stick with my regular friendly coffee shop. How important a smile can be.

I have been going here for almost everyday for two months. Quality of espresso and service depends on the baristas. The owner and manager have great attitude and always make great tasting coffee. However, the other baristas aren't so competent. There are these two barista girls that manage to consistently make one of the worst tasting lattes I have ever tasted and are always on the phone, sometimes not even realizing a customer is already waiting for them at the front. I hope this shop does a thorough quality check on their baristas.

Espresso was good. Hot dog pastry was amazing. Lots of space for remote work.

Nice and calm atmosphere for a café. The croissant was tasty, but a bit hard. The chai latte was also good a little too sweet, but that’s personal taste. A little overpriced in my opinion, but good overall.
