Common Grounds

On any given day on Plant Street, Foxtail Coffee hums with life. Early risers meet over steaming mugs, coworkers swap ideas between sips of espresso, families linger over ice cream, and couples toast over craft beer as the evening settles in. It’s more than a café—it’s Winter Garden’s living room.

Step inside and you’ll be welcomed by smiling faces, some new and some familiar, and handed a consistently delicious beverage. Maybe it’s a hand-crafted coffee, an iced tea shaker, a chai, matcha, or espresso. Look around and you’ll just as likely see a neighbor stopping by for an afternoon pick-me-up or sharing Kelly’s homemade ice cream. (And yes, the espresso milkshakes are legendary.)

For owner Lauren Sutton, the mission is bigger than simply serving coffee. “We’ve created a space where everyone belongs. A place where neighbors, coworkers, and families come together to connect,” she says. “Sure, we’re proud of our coffee. First roasted in Orlando nine years ago, it’s still roasted there today with the same craftsmanship that started the brand. But what really sets us apart is how much care we put into crafting an experience that feels like home.”

And that all starts with our team. “From the moment they accept a position with us, we make sure all of our baristas and staff enjoy a safe, lovable work environment. We support each other. We help each other. Foxtail Coffee is a singularly comfortable place to work, and our people love it here. They are the bridge between us and this amazing community we serve.”

Recently named Best Local Coffee Shop in Winter Garden, it’s no wonder that Foxtail is a natural extension of daily life. Morning meetings, afternoon snacks, evening celebrations—it all happens here. Pull up a chair and discover a community that already feels like family.
