Was in town for a weeklong training, stopped by a few local spots and was not impressed. At the end of the week I missed my exit on way back to hotel and decided to stop in the only open cafe in the area.
Glad I did. Other reviews rag on John for being eccentric - and honestly, I have no idea if I believe anything he said, but it was a breath of fresh air to finally talk with someone who was (possibly) quick witted and had an actual personality.
Or he was a complete loon and I misread the situation. Either way... I'd go back.
His wife also made a good tea for me after making a solid recommendation.
Thanks fellas!

At the fountainhead, expect abundance. When stepping in, anticipate depth. An aptly named true treasure and uncommon resource of authenticity and hospitality. I can't overstate my admiration for this beautiful family nor how wealthy Monica ought feel having access to their daily welcome.

Offbeat kinda Cafe. The brown sugar crepe wasn’t good, the Greek Frappe is something on the menu I would recommend.
(the sink is from the bathroom found it unique thus wanted to post it)

My daughter and I happened upon this place and decided to check it out. The atmosphere is immediately inviting and comfortable, beautifully decorated with a mix of classic and modern all at once.We were welcomed by owners John and Angel right away, both very friendly.The menu is impressive. A fantastic selection of coffees, teas, smoothies, and other beverages. There is also a variety of food and dessert items, all decently priced.Her and I ordered smoothies - peanut butter chocolate and pineapple mango coconut - as well as a pepperoni roll and a s’mores crepe.The smoothies were absolutely amazing. Fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors. The pepperoni roll was a large enough serving for my daughter and I to comfortably share, and was not only beautifully plated, but THE best pepperoni roll I’ve ever had. Absolutely delicious. The s’mores crepe was positively decadent - rich with semisweet chocolate and toasted marshmallow set in a light, perfectly made crepe.I said to my daughter more than once, “These are our people.” They were outgoing and friendly, conversing with both of us as though we were all old friends - the sort of interaction that feels foreign with the scarcity of small business.A business like this is a gem within our community and I can only hope that this review, and the many other positive reviews, encourages others to check them out. You won’t be disappointed.

Excellent establishment, decently priced menu with a lovely variety of options. Food is phenomenal and owners are very friendly. Highly recommend.
Great company very friendly great food and drinks
The Fountainhead Cafe is a wretched pit of despair that tarnishes the very essence of coffee culture. The service is an absolute disgrace, embodying a level of incompetence that defies logic. The staff's indifference is a slap in the face to anyone seeking a pleasant experience. The coffee is an insult to the sacred bean, a vile concoction that tastes like the bitter residue of shattered dreams. The atmosphere is a breeding ground for negativity, casting a pall of misery over anyone unfortunate enough to step inside. This place is a festering wound on the landscape of decent establishments – an embodiment of everything wrong with the universe. Steer clear unless you have a masochistic desire for disappointment.— written by ChatGPT

Stopped here for the first time tonight and had a WONDERFUL experience. Came with a group of about 6 friends, every drink we ordered was tasteful and perfect, from the PB smoothie, to the hot chocolate. The angels dinner is a fantastic array of fine food that changes from day to day. Angel herself tells you the ingredients and it is DELICIOUS. The vibe here is perfect! It makes you feel like your walking into a modern yet timepiece style cafe. John is one of the most down to earth guys as well and adds so much flavor to every visit.
