Great coffee and 10/10 service and atmosphere. Didnt stay, but seemed like a great space to work and the loft looked very pleasant. Somewhat limited on the pastry selection, but went at a weird time. The pour over had some good tasting notes and was an otherwise balanced cup.
I moved a month ago to EL and I was looking for a good coffee shop where I am able to work when working remotely, and I found it. Foster has a great location right on Albert St. and has of course, great coffee and great service. Baristas give you a great service and always in a good mood. I will come often to this place for sure!
Good coffee drinks; comfortable atmosphere, conveniently located.
Lovely place to sit and have a chat or study over some delicious coffee. Open concept with nice, varied seating.
Love the vibes here. The music was great, and the upper level was perfect for sitting down to get some work done. Their lavender honey latte was amazing as well!
Good latte & atmosphere. Good location. So-so milk alternatives but they make them home made which is a kudos to them!
Iced Lemicano is one of the best coffee drinks I’ve ever had. Horchata with a shot of espresso also highly recommended. Great atmosphere, especially with Albert St closed in the summer. W
Wonderful coffee and staff! I love the atmosphere walking into the coffee shop, with a very homey feel. I recommend getting the iced vanilla latte!
Amazing place! Perfect for studying or a meeting. Nice drinks with a lot of varieties!!
This was my first time stopping at Foster coffee, the place was super clean, the staff was very friendly and most importantly my coffee was great.
Original review: * Rude and snotty... Really? You think you are in NyNy???Foster followed up in a thorough and professional manner. Anyone can have a bad day but the way an organization chooses to deal with the bad day defines the organization.
On a mission to try the whole menu. I’ve been here so many times and every time it’s so good. Pour overs are excellent and pastries are good too.
They got my name wrong. My name is not zav ☹ 5 stars
Great coffee. Nice atmosphere. I’ll certainly be back. ☕️
Beautiful building friendly staff. Overpriced drinks. The chai had minimal flavor, mostly tasted like water.
Absolutely love Foster Coffee - their drinks are great, they have a unique variety and fun seasonal offerings, and their avocado toast is so good! Stopping here is a must for your EL visit.
I dont really drink coffee, but their tea choices are few, but good. I wish they had a couple more options.
Good coffee + beautiful space!• espresso : citrus notes • light • berry notes• la marzocco espresso machine• chic, modern, calming interior• beautiful natural lighting• adequate outlets• ¡ HAS AN UPSTAIRS !• great space for studying• variety of spacious seating options• great staff
The atmosphere and service are awesome, and the coffee is delicious. Their new mobile ordering system is excellent, as well. Couldnt be happier with the place. I highly recommend the iced Blue Bumble Bee, as it is still my favorite Foster Coffee.
Ethan is phenomenal! Lauren is excellent! Fosters Tea is amazing!
The coffeehouse has a very minimalistic approach. Aside from the number of pictures on the wall to the right of the door, its pretty bland. The menu is a single sheet of laminated paper in front of the cash register and I actually couldnt find it for a solid 30 seconds after entering the building. The coffee was tasty and service was speedy and friendly, but I do think they should add more to the store.
Fantastic, caring and personal service! They 100% satisfied me by taking my crazy, weird request, and then just making it happen, no questions asked. And then followed up to make sure they had made me happy. They sure had! Their sweater is cozy, and their coffees awesome, too :)
Such good coffee! and the vibes are immaculate
My favorite cafe in East Lansing now. Man, I went there the other day and there was a line out the door in 20 degree weather. People must love this place. It can be really hard to find some place to sit sometimes. The pour over and their home brew I think are all really good. The staff are friendly and helpful with picking out things. When I go into this place, I feel like I’m not in East Lansing anymore and now I’m in Manhattan or Chicago loop. Feels very new urban style.
By far my favorite local coffee spot, I just wish they opened earlier than 9am on Saturdays.
Love Foster Coffee in East Lansing! Friendly staff and excellent specialty drinks. Do love the vibe of the store as well - very bright and open. Perfect for a coffee date or study session. Excited to have Foster in downtown EL!
Best customer service one could ask for!! The staff is super welcoming and sweet, making the coffee shop feel very comforting and homey. They have a great rewards program, for all the coffee lovers out there! Highly recommend.
Very nice setting. It was quite busy when we visited but there is plenty of seating.The location has great vibes and is very comfortable.The coffee was great!
Really good coffee. Beautiful building. The #1 coffee shop in the area.
I love foster coffee. Everyone who works there is so kind and it is definitely a safe place for anyone who needs somewhere to relax or get work done.
I bought a to-go latte and got immediately thrilled when taking a first sip of the smooth and aromatic coffee drink. The milk and the light layer of foam blended so well with the espresso shot and they complemented and enhanced each other’s tastiness. The best cup of latte I’ve had in EL. The barista was very friendly and the ambiance seemed to be very inviting.
My siblings and I were helped by a super nice and friendly girl with the most beautiful purple hair and were served the best oat milk lattes we’ve ever had. I’m so happy that there’s a Fosters in town now, will always recommend for the coffee, atmosphere and employees!
Clean and well lit coffee shop with good espresso. Polite service and comfortable seating. Can’t ask for much more.
Best coffee, hot chocolate, and Carmel apple cider. Really fast and let my child watch them make his hot chocolate! They even had very comfortable seating!!!!!!
The staff is very welcoming and kind. The space its self is a great place to hang out for a bit or meet with someone. Plenty of coffee options as well.
I bought a cup of coffee that tasted like it had sat for hours. I had better coffee at my desk job 🤢 would not recommend.
Very cool new spot in downtown East Lansing with an industrial vibe. The pour over coffee is excellent.
Were thrilled to have a foster coffee location here in East Lansing! The coffee is amazing, PLENTY of seating, and such a warm and inspiring atmosphere!
Coffee was not hot and did not taste correct. Took a long time to receive the coffee as well. Not satisfied by my visit
Best in East Lansing
Good.
Per my Spartan daughters rec we stopped in here after dropping her back at school and let me say.... delish!! Waaaaaay better than SB and super friendly baristas! The coffer shop has plenty of cozy seating on two levels. Very modern and clean. If you’re in the area for sure try this super hip college coffee hangout!
Cozy little coffee shop with a great variety of drinks to choose from. A little pricey though.
Amazing coffee, great vibe.
I’m so excited to be the first one to review Foster’s new East Lansing location. I’ve been a huge fan of their other two locations, but more importantly I’m a fan of who they are, what the believe, and the ways they foster community everywhere they go. Each location keeps getting better and better and this space is nothing short of breathtaking. This is hands down the place to go in Lansing for coffee. 🙌🏻
Best coffee and shop atmosphere in town. Fosters quality is top notch!
Best coffee in the MSU campus area hands down. Got a cappuccino and it was perfect!
Fantastic coffee.
Started with No smiles from the cashier. Pour over coffee then was served luke warm and took about 15 minutes to make. Threw it out walking back to parking structure. Really didnt like the concrete, minimalist vibe of the place. Very disappointed.
Good place to have a cup of coffee and study
They have the best Coffee in town, and the staff are very welcoming. Those reasons describe why I will keep come to this place every single day.
Great people, great space, and the best coffee in town.
Tasty coffee with a friendly & helpful staff. 🙂
4 employees behind the counter, no orders to make, 1 taking orders and 5 customers in line. Got tired of waiting and decided to go to Strange Matter.
Great pour-overs.
Slow service despite 5 barista on staff
Excellent coffee
Good
