Foam Coffee Bar
Foam Coffee Bar is the product of Nicholas Bond, who also owns Kitsch Bar and Ria Malay Kitchen. He has a passion for reviving the old-school feel of the Oxford Street strip, but had a big job with this one considering it replaced the extremely popular Cafe 130.
With a whole new vision for the old favourite, everything from the floor up has been restored. Dark wooden floorboards, pops of mint and fluoro pink, funky takeaway cups, wall-mounted sharks and even a few deer heads floating about give Foam its character. It comfortably lives up to its predecessor.
As for the coffee, the brew is a rather punchy Five Senses blend named Dark Horse, which is served with Bannister Downs milk. The menu includes breakfast, lunch and a selection of baked goods that are either made in-house or purchased from local boutique suppliers.
Top Dup Donuts are one of the hot favourites, providing a selection of over-filled specialty doughnuts. Foam boasts a few family recipes on its menu also, including a French chocolate cake.
Being open from 7am until 10pm is without a doubt a huge contributor to Foam’s success. With a hassle-free vibe and a “come and go as you please” style service, this place is never quiet.
We do not seek or accept payment from the cafes, restaurants, bars and shops listed in the Directory – inclusion is at our discretion. Venue profiles are written by independent freelancers paid by Broadsheet.
