With a pared-down, nuvo-naturalle atmosphere, Foxwood Coffee & Tea is definitely a standout in Shingle Springs. I walked in starving, so in addition to a creamy Latte—the superb quality of which I had not enjoyed in far too long—I also ordered the Quinoa Hash Stack. My pick was partly based on the fact that it’s dubbed a house favorite, but mostly, I had never heard of such a thing. I soon laid my hungry eyes on multicolored quinoa topped with melted pepper jack cheese, potatoes, an egg patty and fresh spinach. At first I didn’t know what to do with it, but once I got into the groove (grabbing a bite of this with a bite of that), I was impressed. Quinoa had been completely reinvented, and the meal as a whole fit squarely in my favorite category: light but filling. I requested a side of salsa, but found that eating it without better rendered the wholesome appeal. Caught with no reading material and no date, I scoped out the cafe’s Instagram account. Bulk teas and latte rosettas in dreamy tones had me lusting over a second sophisticated drink; it turns out this new business is one to patron—and follow.
