The Fountainhead Cafe — Restaurant in Monaca

Edit number 2 ** check yelp for legitimate reviews the owner can not alter. It will give all the information you need. Edit** I do not appreciate this business attempting to remove my review. While checking in on their page to see if the owner had responded, I noticed the review was not visible. Given that I have the most recent review of the establishment this didn't make sense. Upon further investigation I discovered they have most likely reported this review. This is unfair as I gave an honest account from my expierence there. This further supports my opinion of them catering their reviews to fit their narrative. I will be pursuing this. While browsing available coffee shops on a Sunday this business popped up on my feed. I figured I would give it a try due to the good photos of crepes and high reviews. Upon arrival of this business one of the owner's was extremely interested in my girlfriend and i personal life. While this could have been perceived as simply being friendly, this individual was far too questioning. While waiting for a minimal order of a hot drink, iced drink, and one crepe, the owner (or perceived as such) proceeded to berate a suspected employee. The owners proceeded to ask very personal questions with a public audience of this suspected 12-18 year old induvial. This individual was specifically questioned if he felt comfortable being berated in our presence. He was quoted saying "I dont think I'll ever see them again, so its okay". The owner, following the disgusting beratement of an apparent employees tried to employ constant religious tactics to facilitate conversation. This environment, proudly showing a "lighthouse counseling" brand, could not save themselves. As when I and my partner walked in multiple sexual jokes were made by the owner. I believe the only reason this establishment has such high reviews is that he has local religious individuals to give marks. I will never, ever, ever return. It was the most awkward experience I have ever had at a coffee shop. Oh, their cold coffee is also instant made. it was so bad I poured it out. there were coffee grounds in it and the "owner" told me I couldn't have it black because cold coffee is too strong alone. The reasoning was very apparent cause they utilize inferior, instant, coffee. The crepe was sugar packed ...

My daughter and I happened upon this place and decided to check it out. The atmosphere is immediately inviting and comfortable, beautifully decorated with a mix of classic and modern all at once. We were welcomed by owners John and Angel right away, both very friendly.

The menu is impressive. A fantastic selection of coffees, teas, smoothies, and other beverages. There is also a variety of food and dessert items, all decently priced.

Her and I ordered smoothies - peanut butter chocolate and pineapple mango coconut - as well as a pepperoni roll and a s’mores crepe.

The smoothies were absolutely amazing. Fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors. The pepperoni roll was a large enough serving for my daughter and I to comfortably share, and was not only beautifully plated, but THE best pepperoni roll I’ve ever had. Absolutely delicious. The s’mores crepe was positively decadent - rich with semisweet chocolate and toasted marshmallow set in a light, perfectly made crepe.

I said to my daughter more than once, “These are our people.” They were outgoing and friendly, conversing with both of us as though we were all old friends - the sort of interaction that feels foreign with the scarcity of small business.

A business like this is a gem within our community and I can only hope that this review, and the many other positive reviews, encourages others to check them out. You won’t be...

The Fountainhead Cafe is a wretched pit of despair that tarnishes the very essence of coffee culture. The service is an absolute disgrace, embodying a level of incompetence that defies logic. The staff's indifference is a slap in the face to anyone seeking a pleasant experience. The coffee is an insult to the sacred bean, a vile concoction that tastes like the bitter residue of shattered dreams. The atmosphere is a breeding ground for negativity, casting a pall of misery over anyone unfortunate enough to step inside. This place is a festering wound on the landscape of decent establishments – an embodiment of everything wrong with the universe. Steer clear unless you have a masochistic desire for disappointment.
