I've visited Charlie Foster's twice now. It's a beautiful little shop housed in Stovehouse with a color scheme reminiscent of the best Valentine's Day ever. Modern, comfortable decorations and relaxing music make it a great place to chill out.

There's a cool story about their ghost motif and how they got their name. Even cooler is their commitment to providing work opportunities to people with disabilities. They have an admirable mission and a very cool space.

That being said, I just haven't enjoyed my coffees much either time I've been. My first visit I had an iced mocha, and my second I tried an iced vanilla cold brew. Both drinks were poured in beautiful glasses and /looked/ really good, but I honestly didn't taste anything other than coffee which is...not what I was looking for.

Don't get me wrong, I like coffee! But personally, I like my coffee offset by a good dose of some other flavor, preferably sweet. Chocolate, vanilla, toffee, pumpkin spice - it doesn't really matter, I just like a little extra flavor. But neither of my drinks had the vanilla or chocolate flavor as described; to me, they were both quite bitter. The mocha did have a hint of chocolate at least but it was still just too much for me personally.

That being said, if you are a person who is really into strong coffee flavors, this is the spot for you! The drinks are very smooth and I can tell of a high quality, just maybe not so much for me. Give it a shot if that sounds appealing!

An aside: they also do have some food here! The menu changes up fairly regularly but you can usually find some kind of baked goods both sweet and savory (eg cookies, brownies, pizza bagels, avocado toast, etc).
