Foster Coffee Company
196 Albert Ave, East Lansing, MI
Crema's Take
“Foster Coffee Company feels like the kind of place where the seasons change on the menu before they change outside, with creative seasonal drinks like honey lavender lattes that locals keep coming back for. The vibe is genuinely welcoming—staff who go above and beyond, cozy multi-level seating perfect for lingering with friends or getting work done, and a rotating selection of pastries that match whatever the season calls for. Whether you're after their espresso-focused traditional drinks or signature creative creations, this is where East Lansing's coffee community gathers.”

I’ve been a long standing supporter of Foster for a number of reasons. The staff is always kind and goes above and beyond. The menu rotates seasonally, fits the feel of the season, and always tastes amazing. And the people that come into Foster are people who I generally want to associate with. Visit Foster if you want a coffee shop that holds a place in your heart. I love it, recommend it, and can’t wait for the day that they unveil an organic option ;)
Stopped in for a latte on a rainy day during Art Festival. I had their honey lavender latte. It was very good and tasted as I expected. It was nice that there were tables both below and above. Worth trying.
Great iced lattes! Tried this place out at our church today! Thank you for coming out on Mother's Day! The Carmel latte was amazing! I will definitely be coming into the store to get a latte soon! It made my Mother's Day extra special!
Food: 5/5 (great tea and sweets!) Service: 5/5 (great and hardworking staff 💪) Atmosphere: 5/5 (Foster was the place to be!) Foster Coffee Company is a great place to get beverages, meet friends, study, etc. Located in Lansing, Michigan, this place is awesome! As this was my first time, I really enjoyed all Foster Coffee Company had to offer. The food is great! The apple bread and turmeric/ginger tea was a hit! I had my tea iced, and I enjoyed every sip. The punkin latte was amazing as well. The service was nice! There were really great staff who smiled! A smile goes so far. I enjoyed seeing how hardworking the staff worked and how well they explained the menu. So awesome! The atmosphere was lit! 🔥 You would have thought this was a club for college students to study! It was a beautiful atmosphere, and it felt good holding conversations in this coffee house. I loved, loved, loved the vibe! Foster Coffee Company has some great items! Without a doubt, I had a great experience there. Also, knowing the syrups and everything were made by them, I felt great spending money on great products.
This is now my go-to coffee shop in East Lansing. My kids love the lavender lattes while I have enjoyed working my way through the menu and specialty drinks. I love anything Michigan cherry 🍒 and the iced cherry mocha was divine. For breakfast we have tried the oatmeal and a variety of avocado toasts. The avocado toast comes in a big plastic to-go container—I keep forgetting to ask for an alternative. The staff is friendly and willing to answer questions allowing me to pick out the perfect coffee for my mood. There are plenty of seating options from a couch, window seating, and a cozy upstairs area.
