Foundry Coffee Bar — Restaurant in Carleton Place

Excellent experience on our first visit! It's already popular and deservedly so especially given there's not many (if any) places of even near this quality in CP coffee house wise.

Beautiful inside - obviously something they've really considered and it shows - kind of a Scandinavian vibe I guess. They've made the most of the space because it's not that big - we did get seats straightaway but I can imagine at peak times might not always be so lucky but that's to be expected.

Dirty chai latte was superb - probably the best I've had in Canada and a generous size, the breakfast wrap, cookie and Nanaimo bar were all of the highest quality and I'd recommend them all. I really enjoyed the fruit that came with the wrap - little touches like that show the extra level of thought that's gone into this place. Service was friendly and very efficient - food came surprisingly quickly given it was busy. Quality is high so I feel the prices are very fair for what you get.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this place develops over time but if it maintains this quality then CP and the surrounding place will be...

My family and I really enjoy coming here for lunch and a coffee after hiking. We were very excited to do this again today but was pretty disappointed by the amount of students taking up all the seating with their laptops. There was four of us adults and a baby. I 💯 get the joy of going to a cafe to work on your laptop but maybe not during rush hour times and to take up four tables! A lot of cafes will say no laptops between 11am-2 pm. We spent $120…. Were the students taking up 4 tables all had one drink. There was a group of four girls that were all clearly together but two were taking the entire couch area and two were sitting at a table for four people. Another girl was alone on her laptop at a table of two and a third at the bar. We were so hungry and really wanted the food that we all tried to sit at the bar with my baby under the counter top… honestly it made me kind of angry that no one offered to move together and make room. Because of this I probably will not dine in again even though we do enjoy coming here most times. This was a...

Update: I have tried a few of the baked goods, which are okay but not great, but not the food made in house. The coffee is always great! I'm not a fan of lattes so I stick with drip for the most part but I've branched out a couple of times for different beverages. I also do want to mention that my partner doesn't do caffeine and the cafe owner did mention that decaf is always an option (unlike at Starbucks where it may not be available)

Love the atmosphere and coffee here. Staff are consistently professional and approachable. Really liked the previous roastery beans they stocked (can't remember the brand), and wasn't sure which detour blend to try. The barista was so sweet, and gave me her recommendations without any pressure. I usually just get a drip coffee to go.

The chairs seem too high for the tables. Being being a shorter person, they make my back and legs hurt. I'd love to sit and hang out, but the couch and comfy chairs are...
