Foxtail Coffee Co. & Kelly's Homemade Ice Cream - Gate Parkway

I recently visited Foxtail coffee and was pleasantly surprised. The moment I stepped inside, I was drawn to the warm and inviting modern farmhouse vibe, with a perfect blend of rustic wood, soft lighting, and seasonal holiday decor. The space was beautifully decorated, with live flowers placed thoughtfully on each table, creating a cozy, festive atmosphere. There were various seating options, from low to high-top tables, making it ideal for both solo visits and group gatherings. The counter service was friendly and efficient, making me feel right at home. I decided to try the egg, ham, and cheese croissant. Initially, I wasn’t too impressed with how it looked—it came on a simple aluminum dish, which didn’t do it justice—but once I took a bite, I was pleasantly surprised. The croissant was flaky and buttery, and the combination of egg, ham, and cheese was perfectly balanced, making for a satisfying and flavorful bite. The coffee was just as impressive. It tasted fresh and well-brewed, with a smooth, rich flavor that paired perfectly with my meal. While the presentation of the food could be a bit more polished, the overall experience at this coffee shop was delightful. The cozy ambiance, friendly service, and quality coffee make it a lovely spot to relax and enjoy a warm drink or snack. I’ll definitely be back to try more from their menu!

Stopped by here on the way home from my trip last year for the first time and inadvertently stopped here again on the way home. I got the latte last year and it was great. Got the drip coffee and a sausage, egg and cheese bagel sandwich this time and was happy. The coffee had a hint of nutmeg maybe? There was something giving it a festive flair. The bagel was a little chewy but good. Everything else on the sandwich was solid. Definitely check them out if you're in the JAX area.

After multiple attempts with Foxtail I will not be returning. The barista’s do not know their own menu. I have ordered the Mena several times and always request lightly sweetened, and each time it’s constantly over sweetened or lacks the lavender bitters. When I’ve Ordered door dash they put a sticker on the lid of the cup and the liquid causes the sticker to stick to the lid so you're drinking your coffee with half the sticker hanging on. The first time I went they were super rude and since then they haven’t always been pleasant. It’s like an inconvenience to serve you. Compared to Starbucks, they’re very inexperienced and lack basic common training with being a barista. Every time I’ve ordered a sandwich the top of the bagel is overcooked and hard so the sandwich is not even fully edible. I’m very disappointed because this is a very cute coffee shop in a good location, but I will not be returning.

I went today to get an iced coffee with oat milk and the service I received was very rude. I also asked if I could get more oat milk and the response was “What?” With a sour face. So I took the coffee and left and will be headed elsewhere to buy some coffee. Even the young lady at the cashier was rude. Very disappointed and totally unexpected as the service at the foxtail at the beach was amazing.
