Foxtail Coffee Co. cafe in Lake Nona Town Center

By David Myers, Broker Associate · NonaOrlandoProperties.com · Last updated October 2026

Foxtail Coffee Co. has two Lake Nona cafes: 7004 Tavistock Lakes Boulevard, Suite 116, in Lake Nona Town Center, and a counter inside Canvas Restaurant & Market at 13615 Sachs Avenue in Laureate Park. The Town Center cafe opened in late 2019 on the ground floor of the Pixon apartment building, with indoor seating and an outdoor courtyard. Foxtail was founded in Winter Park in 2016, roasts its coffee in Orlando, and has grown to more than 100 cafes in several states. The menu covers espresso drinks, nitro and flavored cold brew, French press, tea and fresh food, and the Town Center cafe also serves beer and wine. Foxtail takes mobile orders through its app.

Lake Nona Town Center was built to be walkable, and a good coffee shop is part of what makes that work. Foxtail has filled that role since 2019, on the ground floor of the Pixon building with a courtyard out front.

It also runs a second Lake Nona counter inside Canvas on the Laureate Park waterfront. Here is how the two compare, and where Foxtail fits among the community's other coffee shops.

Where are the Foxtail Coffee locations in Lake Nona?

Foxtail has two Lake Nona cafes: in Lake Nona Town Center at 7004 Tavistock Lakes Boulevard, and inside Canvas at 13615 Sachs Avenue in Laureate Park.

Neither is in Lake Nona Landing, despite what an earlier version of this post said. The Town Center cafe is on the ground floor of the Pixon apartment building, opening onto the street and the building's lobby. The second counter is inside Canvas Restaurant & Market in Laureate Park Village Center, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the water.

What does Foxtail Coffee serve?

Foxtail serves espresso drinks, nitro and flavored cold brew, French press coffee, tea and freshly made food.

Coffee is roasted locally in Orlando, and the menu runs from straightforward espresso to seasonal flavored lattes and cold brew on nitro. Breakfast and lunch items round it out.

The Town Center cafe also serves beer and wine, which makes it a meeting spot in the evening as well as the morning. The menu changes seasonally, so check the app for what is current.

Is Foxtail a good place to work or meet?

Yes. The Town Center cafe has indoor seating and an outdoor courtyard, and the Canvas counter has free Wi-Fi and lake views.

The Town Center cafe is pet-friendly and sits within a short walk of the offices, apartments and restaurants of Lake Nona Town Center, which makes it a natural meeting point. The Canvas counter is quieter and suits a morning coffee by the water.

Hours differ between the two, so check Foxtail's locations page before you go.

Is Foxtail a local coffee company?

Foxtail is an Orlando-born brand: founded in Winter Park in 2016, it now has more than 100 cafes, many of them franchised.

It started as a single Winter Park shop, began franchising in 2019, and has expanded to cafes in several states. Lake Nona's Town Center cafe was among its early locations.

So it is no longer a single independent shop, but it is still headquartered and roasting in the Orlando area.

How does Foxtail compare with Lake Nona's other coffee shops?

Foxtail is the specialty-coffee shop in Town Center; CFS Coffee is the Colombian coffeehouse with a full food menu; 407 Cafe is the crepe-and-gelato cafe.

CFS Coffee on the south end pairs Colombian coffee with all-day breakfast. 407 Cafe at LaVina Marketplace is the sweet stop. Starbucks has locations on Narcoossee Road and in Town Center for drive-thru convenience.

Foxtail is the one to choose for specialty coffee in a walkable setting.

Pros, Cons and Our Take

Pros

  • Two Lake Nona cafes, in Town Center and on the Laureate Park waterfront
  • Locally roasted coffee and nitro cold brew
  • Courtyard seating and beer and wine at Town Center
  • Mobile ordering through the app

Cons

  • Town Center parking means a garage or a walk
  • Priced above drive-thru coffee chains
  • The Canvas counter is small and follows the restaurant's setting
  • A growing chain rather than a single independent shop

Our Take

Foxtail is the coffee shop that makes Lake Nona Town Center feel like a town center. Use the courtyard for a morning meeting, come back for a glass of wine in the evening, and if you live in Laureate Park, the Canvas counter may be your new daily stop.

What the Neighbors Know
