I was saddened to read a review left earlier by a young lady named Jessica. I was one of the summarily dismissed “old and middle aged ladies” present this morning, when, apparently, Jessica was mistreated by an equally self-absorbed customer (not staff member). The ladies Jessica prejudged as old, and therefore, less valuable as evidence that Foundry 42 is indeed a cool and welcoming place to hang out, meet here weekly to share our diverse life experiences and many talents with each other. Many of us did not know one another before our weekly get togethers here began back in February. If Jessica had bothered to observe something about us beyond her mislabeling of us as “old and middle aged,” (some are barely into their thirties, if that matters to her), she would have made note of tattoos and piercings and interesting personal styles. If she had bothered to engage any one of us, she would have been met with warmth and friendliness. Instead, she chose to imagine that anyone noticed, let alone cared, that she was in “full moto gear,” and that this fact had somehow made her the object of judgment (no one noticed or cared, for the record). I’m sorry she was irritated by another patron, but to trash a beloved local business based on a short-lived encounter with a person like that, and to then use that to insult people who had nothing to do with someone else’s behavior, really calls her assessment into question. And, by the way, the food and drink is delicious, always, and served with a...
Read moreI was visiting New York and I went to check out downtown Port Jervis. I really wanted a coffee and came across Foundry 42. I wasn't sure what I wanted and Emily gave me a great recommendation. The coffee beans are so smooth and have a great flavor. If you're a coffee connoisseur, then you'll love their beans and the service.
This shop has way more to offer than just an awesome coffee experience. They have a home goods section just beyond the coffee bar. Chloe helped guide me through the sections and gave me awesome soap recommendations (Hallo Iceland brand is what I picked). I've been trying to find good soap for the past few years. This is the first time I've gotten out of the shower and didn't feel like I was itching all over. Thank you Chloe for the recommendations.
The Foundry also has an upstairs loft that's very welcoming. The vibe is very peaceful and it would be a great spot to catch up with friends, study or get some "me" time.
Overall, if you're in the Port Jervis area or nearby, I would highly recommend this store. It all around has a great atmosphere, service,...
Read moreI was in Port Jervis for the Fireman’s parade and needs a quick latte and a snack to eat. They had one slice of Vegan-Gluten free carrot cake left. OMG! Was this not the BEST carrot cake I’ve ever had!! One of the girls who works there makes it in house and she knocks it out of the park! Grand slam! If I lived closer, I’d be there everyday getting a piece of this deliciousness!! I can’t do most dairy and finding a VGF Carrot Cake was like winning the lottery.
On top of this, Foundry 42 has such a warm and elegant atmosphere. I sat down with my latte 😋 and Carrot cake and enjoyed my stay. They have some really neat products to purchase if you’re in the mood for shopping and their bathrooms are impeccable! I had to change out of my parade uniform into fresh clothes and was in awe at how clean they kept the bathrooms! Very spacious and the floors in then bathroom were like nothing I’ve ever seen before. The girls that were running the store were very sweet and inviting. Keep up the...
