Hip spot for coffee lovers, service can vary.

FWD Coffee is your go-to for a solid caffeine fix with a side of cool vibes. The place has that trendy cafΓ© feel with big windows and cozy seating, perfect for catching up or getting some work done. The staff are friendly, and they whip up a mean flat white. Just don’t expect gourmet pastries β€” stick to the coffee and you’ll be golden.

However, one unfortunate visit led to a not-so-great experience for a customer who encountered a less-than-enthusiastic barista. It’s a hit-or-miss kind of place, so if you want reliable service, maybe pop in during busier hours when the team is on their A-game. Otherwise, just enjoy the good brews while you can.
