Not sure if there's an upstairs but definitely a fun place. Love when my mocha latte has a blended chocolate flavor and balanced with the coffee. They had a nice pastry assortment as well that we will have to try next time!

The shop itself is a former home-turned café/shop. So, parking here is very limited and very tight…read more While I could have fitted my car in one of the spaces, the two cars on either side were too close to the parking lines for my comfort so I parked across the street at the bank and walked over. When you enter, it's very small but very well put together décor wise. Each area had signs that discouraged movement of their furniture and had its own kind of theme. I was meeting up with a friend and her daughter and unfortunately did not realize they had the typical café hours (closed at 2pm) so my visit was very quick (30 minutes) and I had to rush my conversation. I ordered an iced Monstera Mint latte and chocolate coffee cake slice. When the barista called up my order, I repeated my order asking if it's mine (they don't use a name system) and apparently *I* mispronounced MONSTERA because she turned her back and said within earshot to her coworker how I did not pronounce it correctly and why do people say it incorrectly. I am not a big plant person so excuse me for not knowing how every single plant name is pronounced. I know people vent at work, but it made me feel uncomfortable the rest of my visit, so I was glad it was almost time to leave before they closed. Vent after customers leave if you have to.... Anyways, my MONSTER-AH mint latte was good, but the chocolate coffee cake was a bit too dry for me. And service could have been a bit more professional in my opinion.

We made a quick stop at Foundry Bakery and ordered a wide selection -- everything was delicious…read more We tried the milk bun, lavender yuzu berry cookie, egg tart, black sesame panna cotta, pineapple gem, orange bun, berry trio walnut bread, and the cronut. Not a single miss. The biggest standouts were the lavender yuzu berry cookie and the berry trio walnut bread. The cookie was incredibly well balanced -- floral, citrusy, and not overly sweet -- and easily one of the best cookies I've had in a while. It's also a pretty large cookie, so good for sharing... or not The berry trio walnut bread had great structure despite being packed with nuts and dried fruits -- really thoughtfully baked and especially amazing toasted. Overall, Foundry is a really great bakery. Absolutely worth the drive to try something new, and I'll definitely be coming back.

They are thoughtful about using the best possible ingredients for their customers. Every fruit tea is made from real fruit and not powder and artificial flavors.

They are truly the definition of mom and pop shop that cares about their customers.

I can't remember what I wore yesterday, but I remember that the drinks were delicious. None of us had ever had bingsu before. We LOVED it. It was soft, just the right amount of sweet, and there were treasures underneath that kept it interesting to the last bite.

I got BLTT and asked for no middle bread. It was very obvious that my request was not granted and someone noticed last minute, the middle piece was yanked from the 3/4 of the sandwich with most of the tomato and 1/4 of the sandwich still was with intact middle piece. Also my potato salad had a serving work vs regular. I felt like I was showing food with it. One kid had a grilled cheese and loved it. Another had mac and cheese and ate very little. I tried and it was the most blend bowl of sadness I have ever tried.

The staff here are always so nice and polite, and this is a great spot to get away from all the noise when you want to relax or get a little work done. I ordered a honey lavender iced latte. It was smooth, creamy, and not too sweet. He honey and lavender mesh so well and you can taste all of the flavor. They sell pastries as well. I ordered a ham and Swiss croissant. The croissant was fluffy and flakey, and the warm ham and cheese brought comfort to my belly. They were out of the marmalade that comes with it so i wasn't able to taste that. If you use your capital one card, you get 50% off your drink. You also get access to their meeting rooms and private bathrooms. There is plenty of seating inside.

Concept is interesting - part cafe, part bank, part workspace, part bank. The space is modern and clean, and set up perfectly if you want to sit and get work done. Lots of seating and outlets with free wifi. I didn't get to try the coffee and got the matcha instead which was pretty refreshing. The menu also included light food options like sandwiches and pastries which are convenient if you want something quick. Another big perk is you get 50% off drinks if you have a Capital One or Discover card which makes it a much better value and a reason to come back.

Nobody was smoking or doing anything in the bathroom -- I literally just went in to wash my hands and came right back out. Regardless, smelling like marijuana is not a reason to treat customers disrespectfully or assume wrongdoing. Instead of handling the situation professionally, the manager became rude, argumentative, and ended up canceling our order after already taking our money. The whole interaction felt judgmental and unnecessary. Customers deserve to be treated with respect, not singled out over assumptions or personal bias. Very unprofessional experience.

Great for breakfast or lunch with friends, or for a quiet single table to get some work done during less busy times.

The pizza is made with the same type of flatbread crust and it is also fresh and amazing! Several friendly staff taking orders at once so even a line that looks long moves fairly quickly. The baked goods are another reason to stop in. Amazing pumpkin bread! And while the cookies aren't my favorite- they are always soo pretty!

I was pleasantly greeted and served by Dimitri (please forgive my spelling if incorrect). He spoke highly of the Freddo Cappuccino so I tried it.

The tuna was ok. It was a bit too much olive and not enough yogurt/mayo for my liking. I appreciate the tomato being salted!! I ate the whole thing. The Olympian Stack was highly recommended by ALL the staff I interacted with. The beef was tender and it had the perfect amount of toppings.
