As you step inside, you're greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere, complimented by the friendly faces of the staff who are eager to elevate your day with their service.

Whether you're searching for a quick lunch or stockpiling for a cozy night in, this market will become your go-to place for quality groceries.

While some customers, like Adam D’Angelo, have expressed that their espresso drinks might lean a bit towards the milk-forward side, it’s clear that Foxtrot’s allure runs deeper than just coffee. The atmosphere, the decor, and the sensibility of supporting local artisans create a space that feels intentional and genuine. If coffee is not your primary focus, the curated grocery selection might just steal your heart.

In summary, Foxtrot is not merely a café; it’s a community hub where local flavors and high-quality ingredients shine.

Friendly staff (taller gentlemen with longer hair) Prices overall are a higher price point. For unknown smaller brands I can see the elevated price making sense. But for common items you get one block over (Walgreens) the prices are crazy high for the common known brands/items.

It was a great decision for me to start my day here at the Foxtrot. I ordered their avocado toast and cold brew, and they were so fulfilling and satisfying! The avocado toast was freshly made, and the cold brew tastes great. Most of their items are locally made and served fresh. They also have a wide variety of baked goods, hot and cold drinks, and other grocery items to choose from, which I plan to try and buy this coming weekend. One thing to take note of is that the products here are a bit more expensive than those at other convenience stores, but they are worth the price, considering the quality and great service. What a gratifying way to start my day!

I’ve ordered a few lattes from here on various occasions, and every time they’re way too milk forward. it’s like a cup of milk with a splash of espresso. I feel as if drink orders at foxtrot aren’t a top priority, which is fine. they’re offerings of gift boxes and grocery items is what’s most appealing to me about the brand. I’ll just pass on coffee at foxtrot from here on out.

Barista was nice and my drink was good. There was some street parking. There wasn’t really any seating though other than the limited seating inside Jeni’s ice cream (which was connected to this foxtrot)

Really great upscale Market with an excellent selection of high-end specialty items. They had a great selection of fresh made salads, specialty side dishes and even small dinner items. I love that they had a large selection of gluten-free and high protein snack bars. Great selection of wine and Specialty Liquors... and having an upscale ice cream place next door in the connected space made it a great treat. The staff were friendly and very helpful.
