Foxtail Coffee Co. Pompano Beach — Restaurant in Pompano Beach

Don't you just love the smell of fresh brewed coffee in the morning? I'm not a frequent coffee drinker, but when I do get the taste for a hot cup of Joe, I'm very picky on where I get it from.

Located in the Pompano Citi Centre, Foxtail Coffee offers various brewed coffee or tea made hot or cold. There's also bakery items, cold beverages, quick bite sandwiches, and ice cream. Prices are reasonable. There's adequate seating indoors to chill in its serene ambiance. The female employee behind the counter was pleasant...it being my first time in this establishment, I took my time to look at the menu and make my decision. I haven't had cafe con leche in a long time so I decided to get that. Next I ordered a egg, ham, and cheese croissant and a slice of banana bread as well.

Having some time to kill, I took a seat at an available table while my order was being prepared. Here are my thoughts:

The cafe con leche was delicious. Not too strong and lightly sweet. Regular size is just the right amount as I do not drink a lot of coffee.

The egg, ham, and cheese croissant was yummy. The croissant was lightly toasted enough to melt the Gouda cheese a bit for a ooey gooey taste.

I declined the option to have the banana bread slice heated...in my opinion, it was good as is. A nice moist thick slice topped with walnut pieces.

This was definitely a nice and fulfilling way to start a...

so i usually go to foxtail’s in the mornings, like a little ritual i’ve built out of routine and oat milk, but today i went a bit later—after a job interview, nerves still humming under my skin. i walked in kind of tired, kind of invisible in that way you feel after a long week where the world just keeps moving without asking if you’re ready to keep up.

but then—they were happy to see me. like genuinely happy. both of them. and i kind of froze because i didn’t expect that? not because i think i’m forgettable or anything, but because i always feel like i go there too much, like i should apologize for being That Regular. i even did apologize and the girl just looked at me and went, “no, i love seeing your name. i love seeing the regulars. i love how you come in early.”

and that just… did something to me. like it punched a little hole in the grey fog and let some light through. they don’t know it, but talking to someone, hearing your name spoken like it matters after not leaving your house for days—it’s grounding. it’s human. it’s the kind of tiny thing that sticks with you way longer than it should.

anyway. foxtail’s is my spot now. like, the spot. i don’t even mess with starbucks anymore. this place has heart. recommend it to anyone who wants to feel like their existence is noticed—even...

Manager: The coffee was good, but two un-gloved hands pushing down on the drinking surface of my to-go lid was not cool. Even before the pandemic, that would have been considered gross. I promptly removed and discarded that lid. They were understaffed with only one (visible) person taking orders and preparing orders; I felt bad for her. Took about 10 minutes to get my coffee. There was a pile of dirty dishes on the service counter, so that was disturbing (I didn’t see any designated tub for customers to place dirty dishes, so I had to add my dish to the pile on the service counter). I don’t recommend the hash-brown sausage egg & cheese sandwich; the flavor was ok, but it was like having a piece of sausage between two soggy mashed potato discs. They should consider discarding chipped dishes (see photo). I did try to describe my experience verbally rather than here, but they didn’t respond to my Messenger inquiry and didn’t respond to my voicemail and later stated they thought my voicemail was from a telemarketer… so he apparently didn’t listen to my message. The atmosphere was very cool and I very much...
