Fox Coffee

I rarely give poor reviews for coffee places.. but many things didn’t go right for my visit. Was so excited to find this place and took a good 45min drive to visit so it was even worse for me to have gone through that. Parking along road was ample. On arrival we headed to the cashier and I shared with the lady cashier that we aren’t coffee experts so if she could kindly share with us a bit on their beans. I was so shocked when she didn’t want to entertain us at all, and told us to just read the blackboard and figure what we wanted since it would take some time. Not only did she not want to speak to us, She even asked for us to step aside so she could serve the next customer before we made our decision. This is horrific! I’ve never been more shocked by this because every cafe I’ve been to have been consistent that cashiers/baristas would do their best to share their beans with you. And not simply direct you to a blackboard with 5 words on tasting notes. I ordered: - a sandwich ($14 was pretty steep for the quality - poor, mustard and pickle taste were overwhelming, with only one thin slice of ham in between) - the “crafted” latte (you might not prefer it if you don’t like hazelnut; the taste of hazelnut is really strong, especially within the foam layer, like how almond essence tends to taste overwhelming in almond cake sometimes) - a banana bread (this was really good!) - the spinach ricotta cheese pastry (i have this almost 3x a week at Starbucks and honestly they taste and look almost 99% similar. No complaints though because it was fantastic).

I thought it was an overall alright experience. Staff were nice, and so were the food - got a Reuben and ham and cheese croissant - and coffee. It was a bit noisy where it was situated. I found that there was nothing too special about the place though. Wouldn’t travel all the way for it but if I’m around the area I wouldn’t mind.

Hands down best coffee and service this side of town. Recently have opened up a kitchen in-house and the food is sensational. Simple but really well done. The one time I had an issue with a Cold Brew Chilter, which I religiously buy, I spoke to the owner Corinne and she immediately changed the whole batch. That is commitment to your clientele! Get around it if you are in the area!
