Great coffee and yummy breakfast sandwiches. Friendly staff. Pleasant seating, including outside back patio and sidewalk tables. Just wish they would open earlier - I'd like to have my coffee before 9am. =)

We ordered Fojo Beans for our Wedding Brunch. Working with Dan, he allowed me to order exactly the amount that I needed. We got coffee, two types of bagels, and three types of cream cheese! All of them were delicious. There was a slight hiccup with our order, but Dan Joseph took the incredibly generous step of driving to our venue to deliver the missing item. We really appreciated that and were very happy with our order!

I'm no coffee connoisseur- but my mocha latte was pretty good- not as sweet as I've had at some other places. The Brie and Pineapple grilled cheese was AH-MAY-ZING! The service and ambiance was very pleasant- I only wish there was a sign or something to tell you that you're expected to bus your own table- my sister happened to notice a bin on the trash can so she asked or we would have just left our stuff on the table.

Visiting Hamilton and upstate New York for a family event, I didn’t realize how little options there are for vegans. This place was amazing and the food was top notch for both vegans and non vegans in our party. Thank you for saving my trip whilst other places in town blatantly lie about what’s in their “vegetarian” options that contain meat.

Fantastic hot and cold coffee and espresso drinks plus some of the best food in town. They offer vegetarian and vegan options too!

I was nervous about switching to a local coffee roaster in CNY having moved here from a great one in Gainesville FL. But the shipping costs were killing me. So I sat down with Fojo to talk. They came up with a blend that rivals what I had. (Harried Philosopher). The roaster spent a lot of time with me and nailed it.

Absolutely amazing!
The atmosphere is friendly, the renovations are simply beautiful and the workers are quick to answer any questions you may have!
Their coffee is incredible! They'll happily hand press any cup you ask for and their tea selection is packed! It can seem a bit overwhelming but don't be scared to ask about them!
This is a wonderful addition to Hamilton!
I'm so excited to support a small business instead of a chain!

I tried there coffee a few times. As a general rule i like a strong bold coffee but this was a little bitter to me. Also i aasked for a holiday special thought i was getting a late it was not. So maybe that was part of it. I have tried a few home blends. Just not my thing.
