I do not know what is wrong with this company. They hire the most unfriendly people. I tried this location because I was waiting for an appointment. There was one by my old job and I quit going due to the rotten service. I don’t mind paying for good coffee but the lack of CS is god awful. It was not busy and the whole staff seemed miserable. Last time going here not worth the extra $$ for better coffee. ON TOP OF ALL THIS. My drip coffee was lukewarm. But they will charge you .75 to hear up an inch of almond milk. HARD PASS ON THIS COMPANY.
Great vibes, good music, and an overall solid atmosphere. Whether you’re looking to sit and talk with a friend or settle in and get some work done, this Foxtail location really does a lot right. I’ve been to plenty of Foxtail locations, and I’ve been coming to this one regularly for almost a year now. This is very close to a five-star review, but there are some noticeable downsides that come along with the strengths. For one, I really wish there were more flavor options. This location doesn’t even carry white mocha or brown sugar syrup, which feels odd, especially when banana syrup is available. Just an interesting choice, and not one that makes much sense to me. The staff, overall, is great. You can tell things get tense when the place fills up, but when you actually take a moment to talk to the baristas, they’re welcoming and friendly. One barista- blonde hair, don’t know her name- recommended a salted pistachio flat white over ice, and honestly, it changed my life. That drink alone deserves recognition. This location has a lot of potential. The crowd it draws and the location itself are pretty much ideal. That said, it sometimes feels like there’s a lack of care or effort being put into the store. Whether that falls on the baristas or ownership, I can’t say, but it’s noticeable. All I can really say is that I hope this place has a bright future. It’s truly close to being perfect, and I’d love to see it get there.

Stopped by here on the way home from my trip last year for the first time and inadvertently stopped here again on the way home. I got the latte last year and it was great. Got the drip coffee and a sausage, egg and cheese bagel sandwich this time and was happy. The coffee had a hint of nutmeg maybe? There was something giving it a festive flair. The bagel was a little chewy but good. Everything else on the sandwich was solid. Definitely check them out if you're in the JAX area.
I recently visited Foxtail coffee and was pleasantly surprised. The moment I stepped inside, I was drawn to the warm and inviting modern farmhouse vibe, with a perfect blend of rustic wood, soft lighting, and seasonal holiday decor. The space was beautifully decorated, with live flowers placed thoughtfully on each table, creating a cozy, festive atmosphere. There were various seating options, from low to high-top tables, making it ideal for both solo visits and group gatherings. The counter service was friendly and efficient, making me feel right at home. I decided to try the egg, ham, and cheese croissant. Initially, I wasn’t too impressed with how it looked—it came on a simple aluminum dish, which didn’t do it justice—but once I took a bite, I was pleasantly surprised. The croissant was flaky and buttery, and the combination of egg, ham, and cheese was perfectly balanced, making for a satisfying and flavorful bite. The coffee was just as impressive. It tasted fresh and well-brewed, with a smooth, rich flavor that paired perfectly with my meal. While the presentation of the food could be a bit more polished, the overall experience at this coffee shop was delightful. The cozy ambiance, friendly service, and quality coffee make it a lovely spot to relax and enjoy a warm drink or snack. I’ll definitely be back to try more from their menu!
