Old Soul Co. FOV

I recently discovered a new coffee shop in town and was thrilled to see that it’s located right in Fair Oaks Village- and that it’s Old Soul Co.! I ordered the OSC Mocha and the OSC Chai Latte, and both were incredibly fresh and delicious. I’m excited to keep coming back to enjoy not only the great coffee and relaxing vibes, but also the charm of the village just a short walk away.

Drip coffee was strong, but really good. Ordered veggie, quiche which was not good, mostly crust and some bulky filler. The potatoes looked yummy, but they were bland. We took them home, so my husband could "fix" them up at bit with, salt/pepper, bell peppers and onions. Atmosphere was bland, not "hip or country", just blah! A few cool photos, historic or otherwise could make the world of difference! Service was ok, but all the staff did was serve the coffee at the counter and bring the quiche to our table, no followup to see if we needed anything else, barely a smile when bringing the plate out. No, greeting from anyone as we stepped foot inside. The whole experience was not anything we care to repeat, as there are sooooo many other choices for coffee and/or food in Fair Oaks and near

After Bad Fish abruptly shut down, we were quite disappointed to lose one of our favorite coffee shops and expected it to stay vacant for a while. I’m very pleased to have an Old Soul location open so quickly thus side of town open. The remodel is on brand with the other Old Soul locations and makes the space open and airy. Plenty of patio space and room inside to settle down. My latte was lovely, staff was friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to trying out more of the offerings in the near future. Welcome to the Village!

Went to old soul in fair oaks. It was fairly packed and not enough tables inside, but the reason why I’m giving 1 star is because an old couple were smoking cigars in their outside table area, no one wanted to sit outside because of it. I saw multiple people sit outside near them then move inside. Including two girls with two toddlers. I even asked her if they moved because of the smoke and they said yes. I addressed this with the staff and they informed me “they were allowed to smoke there”. Not sure how smoking cigars 20 feet from the door and in the outside eating area is allowed. One persons “freedom” at the expense of others, welcome to America.

This was my first time visiting this location and it will definitely be the last. There’s truly nothing worse than being made to feel like you are an irritation just for walking through the door to place an order for a latte. I am looking for a local coffee shop other than Starbucks to spend my money and unfortunately, it just felt like I wasted ten bucks on an “ok” drink. Had the service been half way decent it wouldn’t have been worth noting, but it wasn’t. I’m not a coffee snob and I don’t expect any special treatment. At least PRETEND like you like what you’re doing and you don’t hate customers. *Based on your super condescending and not clever in any way responses, it will be no shock to see your location closed in the near future. There’s a saying “the fish rots from the head down”.
