    Latte with several sips taken already.
    Troy V.

    I had a coffee break while moving out my daughter from MSU. I had a latte and I cannot remember have one this rich tasting and delicious. Will definitely come back.

    The cutest little coffee shop with delicious food and calming vibes. Baristas are really sweet and make you feel very welcome. Would recommend this shop especially over the bigger names nearby.

    I was looking for a local good coffee and this popped up on Yelp. Have to say it did not disappoint. Oatmilk cappuccino was delicious. The place is clearly a great place to hangout and work for students as well. Great coffee, highly recommend.

    Brown sugar cinnamon latte with oat milk

    My daughter and I road tripped up here from MO for basketball camp at MSU - while she was there during the day, I ventured over to this coffee shop to read, do some computer work, and chill. The staff was so great, and the guy that took my order on day one actually remembered my name when I came back the next day! Even though the space can appear a little modern and open/airy it really feels comfy and quaint once you're here. Highly recommend the avo toast, oatmeal and the brown sugar cinnamon latte (hot) with oatmilk. Chef's kiss.

    I graduated from MSU many moons ago and every time I drive through or visit East Lansing, I'm always blown away by how different it is these days. Discovering Foster Coffee Company was so cool as I think it's a great addition to the city and a great spot for locals and students alike. There are definitely hipster, Instagrammable vibes happening here. According to their website, they started with their Owosso location and utilized Madcap partnered with Grand Rapids' MadCap for training, beans, and other resources as they got started. They made an impression on me so I think they're doing something right. The employee at the counter was friendly and tried to answer my questions about their iced lattes. I got an oat vanilla iced latte as they note that they make all their syrups in house. Nate had a work call that he had to hop on and their wifi was strong. The seating options are actually comfortable, which is nice because often I find that the modern and trendy seats can be pretty uncomfortable. The couch looked nice! I also liked the upper mezzanine seating overlooking the space. There is a lot of great natural light on the main floor but less in the upper level, so you can choose if you'd like a brighter workspace or a cozier, darker area. It wasn't super busy when we were there, but I could see how sound could travel if it was more crowded. They have a limited food menu with toasts, etc. that looked pretty tasty for a light bite. I'm glad we had time to check out Foster Coffee Company and would stop by again next time we're in the area. I loved their branded merchandise, but a $50 sweatshirt was a bit steep for me.

    Avocado toast
    Imani J.

    Great food and service! I came in on May 9 while in town for a graduation. Ordered an oat milk latte and an avocado toast. The coffee was smooth, with pretty good latte art considering oat milk can be so hard to work with. The standout was the toast though! Highly recommend. Just one thing that could've been better: do wish that they had offered me a plate instead of a to-go container. I felt wasteful sitting in the cafe and eating out of the disposable plastic. I'd definitely return if I happen to be in East Lansing again!

    Classic Wrap

    The biggest scam. The food was awful. It was equivalent to something you would get at a gas station for a dollar. We ordered the wrap and it was nothing like what was advertised. It was a frozen sausage patty premade egg and slice of cheese heated in a tortilla that it didn't even fill. We also got the green smoothie which just tasted like sour yogurt.

    The coffee was good. I had regular drip coffee hot and my teen had a St Elizabeth's iced. The young lady was nice and guided my teen towards her drink....sort of. Cute space for sure with Merch.

    This is one of the only coffee shops that serves good coffee by MSU, in my opinion. Nice inside, super friendly staff and yummy coffee.

    Try the Miel Latte. Enough honey and cinnamon to taste the flavor without over peeing the coffee taste. Tasty!

    I tried the spearmint flavor, and you don't really taste it that much. But the mocha sauce they use…read moretastes a lot like brownie batter, which was really delicious! :) Also, if you have an allergy to almonds (like me), they'll make your drink in a separate pitcher.

    I am a blue owl customer since so long. I love to have my Cafe Au Lait with oat milk and honey. I…read morelove my blue owl coffe so much until a Guy there was serving it. He was damn good in making the coffee, everytime I took my coffee from there it was with the same taste and awesome. He was also so good in greeting the people and helping them with their orders. But IDK what happened and I am not seeing that guy anymore there. Now some new persons are serving there and running. Literally since then I am missing my BLUE OWL CAFE AU LAIT so much. The people now serving there are not doing there job seriously and ruining my morning mood daily. I am liking the taste at all. I really asked if it's possible to do something for that, otherwise no problem there are more coffee places. I just really wish you guys could do better with that guy. Also one more incident I would like to share that the person now serving is literally not taking the job seriuosly becuse he gave me my coffee cup with the bigger lid which wasn's fit on the cup at all and that I wasn't aware of. When I drank my coffee it was all over me with that lid, so you can now understand what is happening. I am not very happy btw. Thanks though.
