Reviews for Foxtail Coffee Co - Sand Lake in Orlando, FL
Conveniently located in Dr.Phillips, this coffee shop has a stylish and cozy ambience. Their products displayed in the cafe are... eye-pleasing. You can tell that they put a lot of thought into creating their brand. However, being positioned as a specialtycoffee shop, this Foxtail location delivers subpar coffee (which costs around $5 for a cup on average). At the time we werethere, espresso tasted too bitter. A bit of bitterness elevates the flavor of coffee, but too much bitterness implies thatespresso was over extracted. Typically a specialty coffee shop has a barista checking the quality of coffee every morning so itwas surprising that the espresso was too off-balanced. Redialing in espresso and rechecking the espresso machine would be highlyrecommended. At this location you can see baristas making espresso drinks. While observing baristas pulling shots andassembling drinks, we noticed that they were not purging steam wands. Purging the steam wand before and after steaming milk canhelp keep it clean, prevent bacterial buildup, and ultimately improve the taste of coffee. While this place gets high volume oftraffic, we still think it will be good to keep the espresso station clean (especially around where used coffee grinds aredisposed). Foxtail definitely has its identity, but we would like to see much better quality control that matches with theprice. Read more
It?s a great place for coffee and the ambiance. I rate this a 4 because both drinks I got were sweet beyond measures. I made a... second trip before posting a review because I could feel that the espresso was rich, just needed to validate that it wouldn?tcome out as sweet the second time around. Definitely stop by here for all coffee fanatics. Read more
Stopped by this little gem on a recent trip down from New York. A few of my coffee enthusiast friends had recommended it as a... safe bet for good coffee with multiple locations. The interior of this store was an impressive first impression. The staff wasattentive, and the store manager sparked up a conversation regarding my plans for my trip. Even gave me some trip advice whichactually turned out to be useful. Manager and staff were both well informed about their selections and I made this shop a dailystop while I was there. Read more
I?ve come to this location maybe 3 or 4 times now and the first few times I tried to get my favorite drink a lavender honey... latte which I was disappointed to find was always watery and bitter which is not usually how it is at other places so alas Iwrote foxtail off. Decided to come again and try something different and got their baristas pick cinnamon bun latte which is acold brew with cinnamon cold foam and I got with oat milk which to my surprise was really delicious and the girls were supernice there. Unfortunately they don?t have a very good lavender honey latte but besides that their coffee is actually reallygood. I gave it four stars for the lavender honey latte and because I plan on coming back and trying different flavorsnext. Thank you! Read more

In my first visit to a Foxtail Coffee, I enjoyed it so much I came right back the next day! It also helps that it was close to... my hotel and Universal, but it still earned the merit of being good enough to come back to immediately. FoxTAIL gets all thedeTAILS right. You could say they?re a good coffee shop to TAIL. Haha. They really do pay attention to the small things. Thedecorations, the artsy cups, and even stickers and mugs and shirts fun things with their own Foxtail touch. It?s all there. Myfavorite thing I tried here was the Cafe Sua Da drink! It?s not on the hanging menu but is hidden in their paper menu, but don?tmiss it!! It?s fabulous and unique from most of your typical coffee drinks. Also, it comes iced, in case you expect it to be hotand think you got the wrong order like I may have (oops). They have yummy-licious chocolate croissants and other goodies. Ijust was really surprised how much I liked Foxtail and I wish I lived closer to one! This story will just enTAIL more tripsback, I suppose! Read more
I love this place. The coffee is great, the music rocks, and the staff is terrific. Sam is very professional and eager to make... sure her customers are happy. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Everything is immaculate. My current fav is thePeppermint Mocha Latte with Oatmilk. Great options for vegans and vegetarians.. Read more
This place is soooo cute. The coffee is amazing, we tried the Vanilla Caramel Coldbrew w/ Half and Half and an Iced Vanilla... Latte w/ Oatmilk, Doppio w/ Orange Bitters, and Doppio w/ Lavendar Bitters. The baristas were a joy and incredibly sweet to mywhole group of friends and I as we were here to study. Much love from Atlanta. I hope to be back again. Read more
