Stopped at Foam Coffee while we were visiting the Gulf Shores area. My first impression was the café had great energy and good music. I also liked how bright it was in there. The employees were very chill and friendly. I ordered an iced unsweetened Matcha latte and it was refreshing and delicious! My husband had a decaf Cortado and enjoyed his as well. We both had our drinks inside the café and enjoyed the experience. We also bought some Matcha powder they had for sale and it tastes great. 5-stars! read more

I grabbed a drink from here for fuel to start my drive back up to Huntsville. This is a beautiful coffee shop with a nice patio. The decorations and overall vibes are super nice. Bright, airy, modern. The clientele is bougie enough that I felt a little out of place, lol, but I still enjoyed being there. I had a little bit of a hard time figuring out their menu. Signage is kind of limited and small, clustered on a counter which isn't easy to see if there's a line. I later found on their website that they have "local fave lattes," many of which sounded better than what I wound up ordering. I wish they'd been listed on a menu that I saw. At any rate, I decided on a shaken brown sugar latte. The employee who took my order was adequately if not effusively friendly. There were several young women working hard behind the counter to accommodate the large volume of orders. It took a bit for me to get my drink, but within a reasonable amount of time considering how busy they were. I thought the price was maybe a smidge high for the size of the drink, but what else is new these days? I got my drink and headed to my car. Overall, it was just okay. My first sip was a huge overly sweet mouthful of brown sugar; I don't think it was mixed super well. I moved my straw up and got a second mouthful of mostly milk. Then I used the straw to mix the drink myself and gave it a few gentle swishes with my hand. That helped some. This was a decent brown sugar espresso, but even after I mixed more thoroughly, it was still on the overly milky side for my preferences. Again, I wish I'd seen a different latte option to order. I think I might've liked a different flavor combination more. When I eventually return to the Gulf, I may give them another try and get something more up my alley. I enjoyed the modern, sunshiney, beachy vibes and would like to sit on the patio and enjoy a coffee when time permits. read more

Foam Coffee - Smaller sized brown sugar shaken espresso - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gulf Shores, Alabama

Best vacation coffee yet. Super rad place. Cool vibes. We tend to find new local coffee joints each day during our vacation but we broke that rule and got coffee three times from Foam. We tried hot and iced coffee in different flavors and everything was amazing. Very kid friendly with books and toys. Decent sitting areas with vintage furniture. Plus live plants which is always appreciated! Staff were friendly and even chatted a bit despite being busy. During all our visits they were busy no matter the time of day but the wait was quick, just long enough to find a cool hat and decide to buy it too. Thanks Foam! We will be back. read more

Foam Coffee - Iced coffee, Sea Salt Honey and Caramel Brown Sugar. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gulf Shores, Alabama

Im so happy we stopped here before heading out of the Gulf Shores area. The vibe of this place is everything! The branding is cohesive and fun, lively, and bright yet simple and sleek. The offerings of coffee and matcha, plus both speciality and regular coffee give a lil something for everyone! The staff was super nice and patient even when it was very busy. We came on Sunday at 11 am and it was definitely packed-- took about 10-15 minutes to get our order. The PB toast was very good and so was the burrito. There's also a good mix of indoor & outdoor seating. Clean bathrooms too. For a burrito, toast, & speciality iced coffees, the total was $37. I would definitely come back here. It's the type of place that left me inspired to open a coffee shop myself. We loved it here! read more

What a treat this place is! Located in Gulf Shores, AL; this local coffee shop is a total vibe. Open daily from 7am-2pm. It's a stand alone building next to a Isla Wine, a wine bar & events space both sharing a parking lot. After you're inside a cozy beach theme aesthetic is curated to perfection. Offering lots of seating options inside as well as a tucked away patio outside. For sale, a traditional coffee house menu of drip coffees, espresso, chai, loose leaf tea, and most importantly ceremonial grade MATCHAA. The main menu stays consistent, in addition a signature menu with specialty/seasonal drinks. A few food options are available as well including a breakfast burrito, toasts with toppings, yogurt bowl, etc. I saw online, they were offering a Strawberry Poptart Matcha. Boy it did not disappoint! Also practicing traditional technique by whisking the matcha powder with a bamboo whisk. This experience overall, surpassed my expectations. The staff very friendly and merch options were *chefs kiss*. Locally designed pieces of exceptional quality. As well as, other items for sale from surf boards, accessories, cups, stickers, and much more! I'm already looking forward to when I can return. Because there really is "No Place Like Foam". read more

My girlfriend and I are staying next to this coffee shop, and while it's definitely cute and inviting with its decor and dog-friendly patio, I was a bit disappointed by the overall experience -- especially the staff. There was no warm welcome when we walked in. The menus are tucked into a small cup on the counter, and as a first-time customer, I found myself confused trying to locate them. Meanwhile, the staff just stared at us silently, talking only among themselves. The whole vibe was pretentious, and after reading some of the owner's responses to other reviews -- often dismissive or defensive rather than receptive -- it only reinforced my feeling that this isn't a business that values feedback or growth. As for the drinks, we ordered a brown sugar matcha and a strawberry matcha. Both were good, but the staff didn't ask what size we wanted, and overall weren't helpful when we had questions. Sadly, I don't think we'll be back -- which is disappointing, especially considering how conveniently located it read more

Came in on 3/10/26 approx. 9:30am. Very nice little looking shop. Coffee was okay, we ordered Large but received regular size. The two employees were very unfriendly where it was even awkward, so didn't even bother to say anything. Coffee was not good enough to out way the poor service won't be back. read more

Foam is awesome!!! Great coffee, chill vibes, good food, and friendly enough service. It's a little pricey... my burrito and latte cost $20 before tip. But they're open on Sundays which is a huge plus for me. Thank you Foam Fam! read more

I came here with my boyfriend on a beach trip and we loved Foam!! It was so cute inside and outside. The workers were very friendly and we didn't have to wait long for our coffee. The drinks were also SO good! I got the salted honey latte with cold foam and it was amazing, definitely a 10/10! My boyfriend got the salted coconut mocha latte and he loved it too! It reminded us of an almond joy! I also love that it's on a pretty quiet street. We sat outside and it was very peaceful. I can't wait to come back on our next trip! read more

tried giving this place another chance but i just can't. i ordered ahead of time and waited an hour for my food. its truly rly disorganized and they said someone must have taken it. it's just really frustrating to spend 30 bucks on 2 coffees and a burrito so you can grab it and go then have to sit and wait an hour. also burrito is almost all potato and so tiny not worth 12 dollars at all. to top it off i found a hair in my food read more

Great little coffee shop that my family discovered while visiting family in the Orange Beach area. Tucked away just off the road, we stopped here almost every morning for a week to get my wife her iced latte fix while we toured the beaches. Great homemade syrups in unique flavors like pistachio and smoked vanilla sea salt. Yum. Definitely worth a stop. read more

Such a cute coffee shop - great vibes, great drinks & great service!! Plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors

Only place in Gulf Shores that knows how to make an espresso. The place is always packed but they move quick and orders were up sooner than I expected. I was there for a week and once I found the place I was there every morning. Once I went back twice in the same day. My wife and I enjoyed the decor and vibe of the place. Looking forward to going back next time we're in town! read more

I normally don't leave reviews and will always give people the benefit of the doubt, but I came in 3x this week (because the matcha is so good and the place is so cute) and each time I left I was bummed about how unkind the staff were. My most recent visit, they accidentally messed up my order. (It happens! No worries) I ordered a matcha and they called out my name and it was a normal latte. I nicely said "oops I think this is supposed to be a matcha!" And the barista didn't even look at me when she responded, she just rudely repeated the order & my name. I then again said "I'm sorry, it's supposed to be a matcha" and she said "ok it said latte but I'll remake it." She didn't even look up at me and her tone was as if I was the last person in the world she wanted to be talking to. I worked at a coffee shop for 2 years in Nashville where I dealt with tourists for years - I get it! But when someone spends money in your establishment, doesn't get what they ordered, and they kindly go up to ask for the right thing... don't be so RUDE!! Really sucks because the place is adorable, the decor vibes are great, but the service & staff set the tone more than anything else - and if you have consistently rude staff, your cute decor will not cover that up... bummer fr. I don't want to leave feeling small and less than just for being a customer. (A kind & understanding one at that) *** also we went to get water while we waited, and they had a few cups by the water station, one of which had a dead huge bug in it, lol yuck. 5 stars for drinks & shop decor 2 stars for staff read more

- Ambiance/Vibe: Foam is a modern styling pink/orange and light dream with a mix of modern and a 70s vibe palette. I loved it. The parking was a little tight, but the location was in a nice little nook. There was also a ton of wall and table seating which makes it a great little hangout. - Coffee: the coffee had a nice taste and was smooth. I really enjoyed the taste. - Food: unfortunately we didn't get to check out much of the food options with our time, but I do believe they had a couple little items, but the main focus was the coffees and teas. - Prices: On the coffee shop side, prices were very on par to what I'd expect for the shops. - Staff: All of the staff were super helpful and friendly. - Merch: In store they had a few mugs stickers and other items. They also have Foam Coffee Beans. Overall I'd love to visit this shop again. It is actually one of the top on my list next time I'm back in Gulf Shores. I give this one 4/5 's read more

The coffee shop itself is warm and welcoming, the staff on the other hand not so much. We walked in and were not greeted until we asked about recommendations. I was so excited to come here after watching tiktoks and reading reviews. The coffee is below average, will not be returning.

I came here on vacation expecting to find a really cute beach coffee shop, and that's exactly what I did! The inside was super clean and aesthetically pleasing. I ordered the Honey and Sea Salt latte, and I think this might be the best tasting latte I've ever had. It was so delicious and addictive. The prices are pretty steep so I would be wary of that, but they do make all their syrups in house which is pretty cool. The service was pretty good, they weren't extremely nice but I think that's because I walked in around their closing. read more

First off, the vibes are immaculate. It's such a small and cute little cafe. Decorated very nice for Christmas and spacious. I ordered the salted caramel and honey latte half sweet and it was super delicious. the barista made sure my drink was just how I wanted and even offered to make it sweeter if it wasn't what I had wanted (but it was just right!). I would definitely order half sweet if you want more coffee taste and less sweetness. Overall, very good place! read more

Amazing coffee. I had an iced americano and it was so smooth. Paired perfectly with the overnight oats

Great vibes and super cute place but HORRIBLE service which is unfortunate when there are many other options in the area. I'd recommend going elsewhere. Drinks are decent read more

My husband and I first tried Foam years ago when it was located in a shopping center. Our recent experience was even better than the first time! Foam is now located in a cute space directly behind the shopping center and the inside is inviting and filled with live plants. It has a very relaxing vibe. Our lattes were made perfectly; flavorful and not too sweet. We will definitely be making a caffeine run when back in the area, we love Foam Coffee! read more

I came to this coffee shop yesterday for the first time as a local and I do wanna say I was very disappointed. They only had one person making coffees one person taking orders when there was about 50 people in the tiny little shop. People inside ended up fighting because there were so many people and it took them so long to get their coffee. One girl threw a coffee on another girl. Went up at the register, asking the person who was taking the orders if the coffee was bitter or sweet if I needed to add another pump of syrup, she said, who are you to know what good coffee taste like. Very disappointed as a local had high hopes maybe just a bad day but that bad day put a bad taste in my mouth. Thought I'd come on here and give my honest opinion. The coffee was okay very milked down. When I try to explain this to the owner of the coffee shop, she got very upset and said who has time to make up stuff like this and then blocked me on that social media app. Own is not good at taking feedback. How would the own know this because she wasn't there yesterday just the young man making coffees and the young girl at the register taking orders. When someone is trying to give you feedback about your business the best thing to do is that is not blame that person who had a bad experience there and block them. I will no longer be recommending people to come to this coffee shop. If she deleted my review and if she blocked me, I would think what else is she deleting what other reviews are she deleting and what other people is she blocking. Owning your business, you have to take criticism and feedback. She only wants good reviews and good publicity and I know everybody does, but you cannot shoot down every single person that has an issue with your business otherwise your business is going to be in the hole because you're not listening to the customers and at some point everybody's gonna notice what all these reviews are saying and then be like oh it's just me no it's not just you the owner Sadie just delete all comments and blocks every single body that has a bad review about her business. read more

got coffee here several times in May 2021 to fuel my track & field nationals experience & I LOVED it !! I ordered an iced americano three different times with a splash of milk, cinnamon & honey. My first time coming, I grabbed a bottled cold brew from the fridge & asked if the barista could do the same milk & sweet combo mentioned above. Each time the ratios were perfect & the drink was well mixed with the additions. Hit the spot EVERY time. The shop is incredibly cute with seating indoors & a beautiful shaded deck out behind. it also smells fresh & a bit floral ?! not the (sometimes) heavy smell of coffee. I really liked that aspect. pro tip - save the cold brew bottle & reuse as a drink bottle! it's a great size, fitting in a purse/bag well, and I get to recommend people to Foam if they ask about it ! read more

i never leave reviews but this was the exception, I downloaded the app for this one. the atmosphere was great truly. horrible service. our drinks were dirty with other peoples drinks because they can't put the lids on themselves? idk and I paid 7 bucks plus tip bc I thought it would be good. I got barley any cold foam and I got the brown sugar espresso and all I can taste is cinnamon their was no sugar. Starbucks would be better. no hate just letting yall know. read more

I have to be honest, their (amazing) social media presence and pictures drew me in and I had to check it out with my own eyes! I'm pleased to announce that their social media hype totally falls in line with the quality of their product! The coffee is delicious, the shop is just as cute as the pictures depict, and the service from Kale was spot on! I had a killer Toasted Marshmallow latte that tasted even better than it looks (and trust me, it's a looker)!
