Coffee Roastery

We source a variety of beans from all over the world.

The key to making flavourful coffee is using freshly-roasted beans.

At Foakes, we hand-roast our beans, as needed in small batches, ensuring fresh beans.

Currently, we have 5 single origins and 2 unique blends.

Ask to try any roast when you visit Foakes to find the flavour that you love.

Bakery

We bake DAILY. That means fresh, warm breads are available to you whenever you visit.

Maggie, our sourdough starter has been growing for many years, producing hundreds of breads a week. Our baker’s process involves a double fermentation which not only gives our breads a mature and wholesome taste, but breaks down the carbohydrates on the dough producing a lighter and more digestible bread.

Pasteries, Cakes & Treats

What’s a cup of coffee without a slice of cake? Or a rusk!

Our bakery is continuously baking new cakes, croissants, pies and other goodies.

This is a place where craftspeople can create, work and exhibit their ideas, and where skills and knowledge are shared to empower individuals in the community.

We truly believe that allowing people to showcase their talent or develop new skills is essential in creating an environment where people thrive as a community.
