Foundation Grounds serves tasty salads. Clearly caters to a specific audience and enjoys a devoted clientele. Unfortunately it serves instant refined oatmeal instead of old fashioned, or steelcut, or pinhead, or Irish oatmeal. Of those mentioned, only the old fashioned style can be cooked quickly, that is within 2-5 minutes. It is as easily cooked as instant, and can be served hot. I ordered the instant, requesting only 1/2 the water suggested by the directions on the bag. My request was ignored. I received a watery, lukewarm serving. I also purchased a soy latte that was not served hot. The porcelain large cup was a nice touch, however. For 7a.m. the music was much too loud, making it diffi...
I love Foundation Grounds and stop by here at least once/month. Excellent coffee, and good food too. They have almond and soy milk for lattes, and you can request either for hot coffee in place of creamer. On their food menu, they have a vegan tempeh salad sandwich that is delicious, and a really tasty hummus sandwich that can be made vegan by omitting the cheese. On Saturday mornings they offer vegan quiche until they run out (tofu-based). The bakery case always has a few vegan options, typically scones, muffins, and a dessert. Most staff there are friendly and helpful. If you're in Maplewood and need coffee or a snack, it's definitely worth a stop.
Foundation Grounds is a coffee shop and cafe. The menu is not large, the main vegan options offered on a daily basis are a vegan tempeh salad sandwich (which is delicious), the goddess hummus/veggie sandwich (vegan w/o feta), and salads (which you can add a scoop of tempeh salad to). They often have other vegan items that change from day to day, such as vegan quiche and soups. There is a fairly large selection of baked goods, always with several vegan options, such as choc. pb bars, molasses cookies, pumpkin muffins, etc. FG is located in downtown Maplewood, a nice community surrounded by small shops.
We come to St. Louis a lot but always have such a hard time finding vegan breakfast. I saw Foundation Grounds on here and called and asked if they had vegan options for breakfast before we went. The vegan tofu scramble burrito was delicious as was the vegan strawberry coffee cake. The coffee was great, atmosphere was great, and nice people too. Glad to finally find a place to eat breakfast in the city.

was surprised by the variety and quality of vegan tasty, marked ve the blueberry peone was too humid, but the rest was great (I have them all, maybe six overall). the sweet potato burrito was also quite good, although a tad expensive for me (I am cheap). updated by previous review on 2021-05-01
i had the vegan burrito, a smoothie, and a slice of lemoncake. a very cute place, would go again for sure. i wish there were more vegan options but there are a couple to choose from
great coffee and delicious food. I wish they had more vegan options when it comes to bake. what they have, but is delicious.

Their vegan pumpkin muffins are delicious! Though, I cannot attest to their other vegan offerings.
I really liked her chocolate chip scolon- they seem a fair selection every time I get in.
