The Fountainhead Cafe

Cool, Small Coffee ShopEmployee was super friendly, comfy seats and the coffee was excellent and not bad pricedDefinitely recommend

I went here when I was 15 with my father. We ordered a Chai Latte, a London Fog, and a Oreo crepe. The food was very nice. The place was nice and quiet for the most part, but the male owner was eccentric to say the least. He called us both "darling" a few times which creeped me out a bit, he started ranting about how much he hated the trans representation in the new Star Trek series (As in he hated that there were trans people in the show), and at one point he thought that my dad and I were dating. He also at one point said that he may call me by my legal name because "your name is the second gift given to you when you're born." He knew my legal name because I told him my preferred name and he asked what it was short for. I panicked and gave him my legal name because of social anxiety. Not to mention, he kept talking to us while we were both trying to do our homework. Overall, the food and seating was nice but the atmosphere was ruined by the male employee.

So impressed with this coffee shop. We wish we lived closer, but driving by stopped in. John and Angel are a breath of fresh air and super welcoming. We enjoyed our drinks: a tea for me and a coffee for my husband. We will definitely come back for a visit and to try the crepes with these stellar drinks!

walked in for first time, guy was dressed like jeff bridges in the big lebowski haha. very welcoming, an the caramel latte an sugar cookie an chocolate chip cookie was amazing. talked with the way cool owner johnny boy for an hour. the dude, an establishment is a major + in monaca. next is to go in an try the crepes.two thumbs up. if not been here yinz have to give it a go.

John D. is correct, the times are now posted both outside and on this site, but in 2014 when I wrote this they were not. The owner has contacted me 2 times over this post now. Once when it was written with a private message that was snarky and on the verge of rude. Now he has left a lengthy response for everyone to see. I think it is great that the owners of these establishments have the opportunity to respond to the reviews because it gives them the option of telling there side. So there it is, his side. Unfortunately I don't think his response makes the establishment anymore inviting.

My partner and I constantly reference our visit to this café, as a joke, because it was the worst customer service experience of our lives. After reading some of the reviews here, clearly we're not the only ones. Here's our horrific, and hilarious, experience:We wandered in during Beaver County Boom, and when the owner, Jonathan, saw us enter, he turned to what appeared to be an employee and said, "You have to make the customers feel like they interrupted you doing something really important," and proceeded to sarcastically roll his eyes at us, saying we were interrupting their philosophical discussion about the Catholic church--we hadn't even been greeted yet.I thought this was quite the bold gamble to play on his part, since he had no idea if we would play along or be offended with the "joke". At first, I did play along because I love a good bit. But instead of taking our orders, he proceeded to ask us very personal questions for the next half-hour, such as where we lived, what we did for work, and (my) ethnicity...This guy is a nut. At one point, he said to my partner, "Don't worry, you'll grow out of the hipster look in a few years," with a laugh. He pointed to the only Black person in the mostly empty café and called them "Black Mamba", and as we saw two Black women approach the café from the window, he said, "Here come my chocolate queens!" (He is 100% visibly white. I am a person of color writing this.)He and his wife had a cooler of Angry Orchards (alcohol) sitting on the counter, and they offered some to us for completely free. We were already weirded out, so we declined. After my partner had finally ordered his drink, Jonathan pressured me into getting a drink as well, even though I already had one from another business. I had a Joe's Tea, and Jonathan guilt-tripped me by saying I wasn't supporting small businesses until I ordered a smoothie.When someone else started leaving the café, Jonathan yelled, "Wait, where are you going?!" and the girl nervously answered, "I might be back later," before she left. During our unwanted, hostage-style conversation, Jonathan acted like the musical expert in the room despite my partner and I sharing that we both hold degrees in music, and would only speak directly to my partner about it even after my partner tried to loop me into the conversation several times.When Jonathan started in on Eminem and cancel culture, we finally bowed out. The drinks were pretty good, not gonna lie, but do not go unless you're welcoming this kind of experience! It does make for a good laugh

This was a perfect stop for breakfast. I loved the quiet location and the food was very good.

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.

Fantastic chai lattes coupled with an odd cultish feel makes this an entertaining place for coffee or tea. It's like Waco, with tea and crepes. Your experience will be far more rememberable of you elect to dine in...

Rather keep it to myself! I have had a bad experience here but I would like to keep it to myself because if you don't have anything to say that is negetive I am not going to say it because not everybodies experience will be the same as mine.
