What customers say
"We tried the Cloud Coffee one with espresso and another with matcha. The first time we went, it tasted amazing, but on our second visit it was prepared by a different person and the taste was a bit different. Still, if you enjoy coconut water, this drink is definitely worth a try."
— Kanugo Nikitha"Absolutely obsessed with the cannoli latte at Forum Coffee. It’s perfectly balanced, sweet, creamy, and somehow tastes exactly like a classic cannoli in a cup. Total comfort drink, total indulgence. Beyond the latte, every visit is such a pleasant experience. The staff is always warm and welcoming, and I’ve had consistently great service at every Forum Coffee location I’ve been to. Amazing quality, great vibes, and a drink I crave on repeat. Highly recommend! ☕️✨"
— Emily Lafrinere"I honestly never ever leave reviews but after coming here 3 days in a row. I had to go look up reviews for confirmation. The first day was completely perfect, the barista was kind and at least polite and pleasant. The last 2 days the barista was less friendly but I thought it was just her personality but as soon as she started ringing up the customer behind me shes making small talk and being so kind. I was so confused I ran to google to figure out what that was about. But all the other reviews confirmed service here is weird. But drinks are so good I kept coming back. I’ll just saw good luck if youre not a man and of color simultaneously"
— Sydney White"Very lovely place if you want to work or focus on something it’s insanely great good coffee amazing service and I really enjoyed my experience working from here. It was really good quiet some ambient music so I really enjoyed my experience here being here."
— Mark V. Smetanin"The new local coffee shop is a nice addition to the area. The ambiance is cozy, the staff is welcoming, and they have a great selection of organic coffee and teas. I was pleased to find Ethiopian Yirgacheffe beans for my pour-over. It's worth checking out if you’re nearby."
