Current vibes: 10am. 80s rock (e.g., Cherry Pie). I'm drinking an amazing strawberry matcha latte (after a delicious Americano) while a leather-brimmed cowboy drinks a dark beer at the bar. Cool place to sit and study in the morning. I'm curious what the evening events are like. The dude working is chill and friendly. I dig it.

I dig their avocado toast and hot chocolate. All the drinks are good. The staff is great too, very friendly. I recommend going for good vibes!

If Blondies stopped serving sandwiches, put in a bar and expresso machine and start being more of a music venue. YOU WOULD FROTH! Nice Job remodeling guys!

Their new banh mi is so tasty! I had the veggie option and my partner had the pork. Both had great flavor. The coffee is also really good quality. We will definitely be back.

This place is great. Had the avocado toast and it did not disappoint. Cappuccino was on point as well. But what I really love was everything was served on actual plates and cups. No paper, no waste. Being so close to the community forest, it's really important to aware of unnecessary waste. Way to go Froth. Such a cozy spot to chill at.

Love the vibe in here. Whenever I come in rain or shine, it is a good experience with yummy coffee and a sweet treat! And I’m not paying an arm and a leg as they have promotions for customers all the time.

So happy to have a coffee shop back in this location! That’s really why I gave it 5 stars. I also like the renovation inside and the care they give to the drinks, food and service. The ingredients were simple and delicious. Food would be better if the eggs were cooked more like a scramble. They were more of a chopped hard boiled egg mixture (?), so no runny yolk.
