Wonderful food and friendly service. The kids’ tomato basil soup rivaled what they said was their favorite in Carmel, CA. The mango smoothie was the best ever per the 16-year-old. Hope to go back.

A fantastic addition to Hamilton, and a much needed one. The space is seriously well-designed and feels almost too cool for Hamilton. Great atmosphere, and even better hours. The coffee was solid, but didn't blow me away. All in all, I'm glad Hamilton finally has a quality coffee shop.

very rude service. went there with friends and were told that there was a 1 hour time limit on the table because they were busy - no problem. the people at the front said that somebody at the table needed to order food, so one of my friends did and we were told it was fine as long as one of us ordered food. the other 2 of us ordered $5+ coffees. before i even got the chance to finish my coffee, the owner came up to us and told us that we needed to order food to stay and within 10 minutes, he came over two more times. i apologized and said that we weren't aware all of us had to order food and that we would leave once our friend got the food she ordered because we came with her. he then proceeded to kick us out, even though i was barely done with the coffee i ordered and we were being very nice. i would be more understanding if we were told once we arrived or when we were ordering that all of us needed to order food in order to not be kicked out. it's a coffee shop and we thought that it would be okay for a couple of us to order coffee and sit (within the 1 hour limit we were told) while our friend ate the food she ordered. i used to be a regular customer, however, will not be going there again.

Excellent coffee. They will do "Pour Over", or "Air Press" any of their coffee choices. They also have a daily selection of already brewed coffee. (Note: They roast all their own beans!) They have a nice selection of pastries. The breakfast & lunch menu is not large, but had really nice variety. We had the Pulled Pork sandwich & the Chicken and Biscuit. Both tasted marvelous. Multiple, distinct flavors in both!

The coffee was wonderful. The bree and pineapple sandwich was amazing. Very busy when I was there.

Awesome place - great coffee selection, even better tea selection. Food is surprisingly fancy and is GREAT! Plates are small, so dont plan to share. Better for a snack than a full meal. They're open late so enjoy some afternoon or after work coffee!

My fiancé and I have been to Fojo Beans twice now throughout our travels through Hamilton and loved it! The staff are so friendly and welcoming and the coffee/tea is amazing. We also got breakfast there and it was so good! I would definitely recommend stopping by and grabbing a drink and snack.

"We believe the food should distract you from the conversation." It really does. Not only do they have an extremely friendly staff and extensive amount of drink combinations but also an amazing kitchen. Highly recommend to every one

Lovely coffee shop, with over 30 blends of tea and different blends of espresso as well. Experienced baristas and locally owned make this shop one I will definitely return to.
