I love foxhat! I'm pretty particular about my coffee, it has to be good quality, taste good and not bitter and it has to be made well. Foxhat get it right every time. It's an added bonus that I can pre order and pick it up making it a time efficient option, the pre made wraps make a perfect healthy lunch, and Rach and the staff are always friendly and have a good chat with everyone. They're locals just like the rest of us A good coffee can make or break your day, and foxhat are my go to Cafe every time
