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.

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.

I have so much good to say about the Fountainhead cafe and it's Proprietors. I'm always greeted with friendly smiles and warm, intelligent conversation. My favorite is the Honey Iced coffee but the Greek frappe is close behind. The coffee is fresh and so Flavorful, The shop is incredibly unique, a whole vibe and so cozy to relax in. I've also tried the Nutella Crepe and it is To die for. My favorite cafe in the area and I Absolutely will be back! The hours of 3-10 are also super awesome! Thank you for this incredible asset to the community!

I appreciate/understand a little checkout small talk, but the male owner?... Wouldn't stop asking me and my friend very personal questions, where do we live? Where did I Used to live? Were do we work? What do we do at work? Are we dating?... Then he started ranting about how the Google and yammer reviews were all lies. The owner is weird as. It's a shame, because the tea and coffee we got were good,but the awkward never ending small talk made me never want to go back. His wife, or the female coworker seemed normal and nice.
