"I would love to give this place more stars but over the last 5 years of coming here, I rarely have items ready to go when I’ve ordered them. Almost always disappointed - they often stop serving sandwiches much before closing. I’ve waited an additional 10+ minutes almost every time I order ahead, hoping that “maybe this time they will have it ready on time.” I know things are busy and things happen, but an establishment should not offer ordering online for pick up if they are not going to have things read by the time someone sees it will be ready. Again this is not the first time but probably the 20th time this has happened over the years. I always hesitate to post because the workers are usually kind. In a few instances the workers cared more about whatever was happening on their phones than to start making drinks or beverages. I’ve worked as a barista before and know that things can get backed up when it’s super busy, but, alas, every time I’ve had to wait (which is every time) it is not busy at all in the cafe. I’m not sure if this system will ever be improved, I’d suggest not offering online ordering. While I may be one of few posts on here mentioning the amount of time I’ve had to wait, every other person I’ve talked to has said the same about this establishment: coffee is good for having a nearby shop, the food is decent and the workers are usually kind …. But the wait is always what takes a lot time and is upsetting. I’ve also heard that the workers only get paid minimum minimum wage… I know they get tips, but I still think this is absolutely absurd considering the price of most of the drinks one drink is easily them out that one worker is getting paid at the store… I’m not sure what the Reason is for not paying these people more but this is absolutely absurd. I think sparing at least three or more dollars to give them a higher hourly wage would make sense especially on days when it’s less busy… Again speaking as someone who has worked in the customer service industry before this just seems absolutely Ludacris especially in the year of 2025."

"It's a very cute Cafe and the staff is super friendly. I took points off from the atmosphere due to how often the nearby high school kids take over the cafe. They aren't badly behaved, just numerous and always loud due to their number. I prefer the Alchemist a mile away with its fancy bar and more sophisticated atmosphere. It's also generally quiet"

"Toasted bagels tasted handmade and they were perfectly soft and chewy. And great coffee!"

"Such a lovely coffee shop in the neighborhood. I visited Foundry Provisions on a Tuesday morning and it was brimming with students and customers from all walks. The ambience is bright and airy with light streaming in through the windows and lovely art paintings on the wall. Foundry sells Tinker coffee which is a local coffee and ice cream + breakfast bagels and sandwiches. Win win! The patio is dog friendly and the red brick gives such a summer vibe to the space. Good customer service and happening spot!"

"Nice ambience, very clean environment. However, when I came in I greeted the worker, she just looked at me crazy and didn’t respond. Said thank you after she took my order, again met with a crazy look and no response (which whatever, people have bad days). But got a breakfast sandwich, it tasted like it was already prepared and thrown in a microwave: the center was cold, all the flavors just blended together like mush, the bread was randomly oily, and for $9.50 I would have been better off getting an egg McMuffin from McDonald’s. Very disappointing, I live close and was hoping this could be a nice local spot that I could support."
