Wanted to check this location out. Parking spots along the side of building. Place has a good vibe and is huge inside to settle. I did get the crème brûlée latte and my husband got a black coffee. It was good but I don't think it was worth the pricing it was plus service was a little off. Staff seemed a little standoff-ish even when trying to place our order. Hopefully it was just an off day. read more

Early morning visit to get some coffee and quickly check email. But didn't want to sit down anywhere - filthy floors. Either they just had a huge party in here right before I came or they don't sweep the floors. And right now I am the only person in here except one other. Coffee stirrers, food crumbs, hairballs, dust by 4 different tables I moved to. A bunch of rock salt from the snow which is understandable from people tracking it in. But someone should be sweeping the floors here for the food and dustballs at least once in awhile. There are two employees up front doing nothing but chatting with each other. Just makes you think if they don't do basic floor sweeping, how clean is all the other food operations here? read more

First impressions: this place is large with a lot of seating even accommodating larger groups of 5 or 6. I went here on a Friday afternoon and it was moderately busy. There were two people in line in front of me, but they moved at a decent pace. Service was standard, good, but nothing exceptional. I got a 12 oz. chai latte, and it had a lot of spices, but tasted a bit watered down. Mid-drink the taste got better. I think next time I'll get a flat white. They have a nice menu including tea options. The baked goods look very yummy and I'll have to try one next time. I would come back here and setup shop to do work. I think this is a great place for gathering and there's a lot of potential here. read more

After seeing all of the positive reviews, I was excited to try this place. Unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. My friend and I walked in around 5:30 pm. The cashier took a while before taking our orders because she was busy cleaning and eating a pastry. After I ordered and paid, she made my drink and ignored my friend, continuing to clean the bar area. My friend finally told her that she was still waiting to order, and the cashier even took a moment to look at her phone as she was ordering. There were little bugs flying around the pastry case and our table, so I didn't order any food. My mocha latte also tasted pretty watered down (it tasted more like a hot chocolate). I did think the vibes of the cafe were nice. The interior was pretty cool. But due to the poor service and bugs, I would not come to this location again. read more

Amazing place, beautifully done interiors and great vibe to chill and sip a cup of coffee. We ordered a mocha latte , chocolate tart, blueberry yogurt cake, Afagato and let me tell you. It did not disappoint. I requested for my drink to be extra hot, and it they delivered. I'd definitely be coming back , and see being a regular here. Gem of a coffee place in livingston. read more

Renovation is still happening at the coffee shop but there are plenty of tables there to relax and enjoy your coffee! There's WiFi, so bring your laptop and work there! Service was wonderful. The barista was very attentive and helpful. I ordered a matcha latte and almond croissant. They were both super good. Croissant was fresh and went great with my latte! Will def go back to try other items on menu. Tip: They don't accept cash. And download app to receive 20% off first order. read more

The parking lot is a bit much to deal with (very small considering the huge amount of seating they have inside) and they didn't have any gluten free bakery items available when we went but my matcha latte was well mixed by hand with a solid quality matcha and the perfect amount of sweetener. They did mention they are getting blueberry GF muffins but I'd prefer a chocolate one so will come back when they do. read more

Lots of seating and friendly service. We ordered a flat white and a latte along with two pastries. The pastries are from Balthazar so they're always good. The drinks were just okay. They don't have flat white cups so they just take a 12oz latte mug and fill it appropriately. Both drinks weren't very creamy, despite the foaming. read more

What a beautiful place to enjoy a cup of coffee and to indulge in baked goods from Balthazar! We had their Americano and iced mocha latte ( half decaf, almond milk). Americano was rich, mocha latte had a good ratio of coffee:milk and just a hint of cocoa. Even at half decaf, it still packed a punch of caffeine. We also had their egg and pepperoni sandwich which was warm wrapped in foil. Their yogurt from their refrigerated section was good. For pastries, i had their cheese and pepper danish for something savory. Pretty flaky and good! And of course it should be because it's from Balthazar. Interior is beautiful wood, brass, brick and seating area is enormous. Service was friendly, and our drinks were served in cups and glasses for dine-in. My pastry was not reheated and no offer to warm it up, but it would've been a nice touch esp for dine-in. Cc, Apple Pay, cash, private lot on the side. Would recommend! read more

Great new place in Livingston with excellent coffee and damn good snacks. Not sure where they found their employees but they're fantastic and more than accommodating. Ambience is understated and casual with paneled walls and comfy seating. Their palmiers are also unreal. If you haven't tried one, I highly recommend you do. Like most places in Livingston, parking sucks. They also don't accept cash and I wish they had Equal. Otherwise, a flawless experience. Thank you. read more

Absolutely beautiful new coffee shop that is a great addition to Livingston. I enjoy the extensive coffee menu and the patience of the baristas when asked coffee related questions-- thank you for teaching me what an Americano is! The coffee is good and service is fast. If it's a cheat day for you and you feel like splurging, the chocolate cake is great. Perfect place to have a networking meeting if you are in the area, or catch up with a friend after your 9-5. This is extremely helpful because it is nearly impossible to network at the multitudes of Starbucks and Dunkin in the area. The atmosphere is very calm. There is a small parking lot, they take Apple Pay, and I hope to see Forum Coffee become a town staple. read more

Good coffee nice desserts and a great atmosphere to work. The service was ok. I recommend for a study session.

Very beautiful cafe. Great ambiance to work or study in. They also have great drinks. We tried a latte and a matcha and the matcha was very legit. They also have nice looking pastries and sandwiches but I didn't get to try any that day. read more

So happy to make this update - seems like the owner or manager was here today training lots of new staff. I think they were understaffed during my previous visit. Will be continuing to come here! read more

I was at the newest location in Madison not so long ago and paid almost $8 for a cold brew which seems a little steep in price especially when the quality was not worth it .The coffee had a slight sour taste to it. I'd be inclined to give it another shot (maybe it was just an "off"day when I went), but ultimately my first impression was not so great. read more

Great service. Everything tasted great. Love the mood it's like a fancy homemade cabin. The ambiance has a good mood too love it here. Will stop by more often. read more

I love going to Forum Coffee whenever I get the chance during the week. Their homemade oat milk with their iced matcha latte & iced cannoli latte are the best! read more

Excellent tea and coffee menu! Lots of options for seating and spacious area with parking lot.

Excellent service and a great cup of coffee. Very busy when I was there. Continued success.

I have been meaning to stop in and get coffee and see what the hype was about and it turned out to be ok. The coffee was not steaming hot and the cup leaked all over the place. For $4.85 for medium coffee this is not a great cup of coffee. read more

The quiche Lorraine gave my 3 year old and I food poisoning. Definitely not going back after spending $30 to get violently ill. ETA: owner responded to my google review accusing me of blackmail because of the review being negative. They also told me the quiche didn't make us sick even though my husband didn't have any. Norovirus is what made us sick since their family just had it. Very disappointing way to talk to and treat customers. Definitely never going back. read more

1st the good: lovely space. I wouldn't mind spending hrs there to get work done or to meet a friend. The staff is friendly. The not so good: my iced latte had the syrup at the bottom, below the ice. This is not the way to make a proper iced latte, & Especially at these prices, I expect better. My niece's matcha was subpar. The baked goods were nothing special & overpriced. read more

Just as excellent as their East Hanover location!! With even more seating! Love Forum's matcha lattes, mocha lattes, & all of their quiches and pastries! The staff is so friendly and helpful! They really transformed the interior. There is plenty of parking. read more

Very nice place!! The egg sandwich was cold but I guess I could have asked them to heat it up. Coffee was good but I was hoping that they had protein on board as other places do. A bit disappointing from that aspect read more

The decor is lovely, the pastries are delicious, the drinks are good enough. The service is what let's them down. Friendly but very slow. Not understaffed - there were 3 baristas there. We waited way too long for our drinks. read more

Excellent coffee, good vibes. I'd much rather give this place my business than Starbucks. Service is great and they even have an app you can use to order ahead. read more

Very nice coffee shop with amazing staff and a welcoming environment. The decor is what really does it for me.

All of the drinks are a must try, as well as the pastries. The service is quick and staff put a lot of thought towards each order. Atmosphere is amazing and the area is spacious and relaxing. read more
