After planting its flag in Short Pump last year, an out-of-town coffee shop chain has set its sights on Midlothian for its second local outpost.
Foxtail Coffee Co. is planning to open in The Promenade at Winterfield development this fall, according to company spokeswoman Beth Cocchiarella.
The 1,800-square-foot café at 1500 Ewing Park Loop would join local neighborhood market concept Supper Club, which opened in The Promenade earlier this year, as well as other tenants in the mixed-use development in the western part of the county. Foxtail would operate across Midlothian Turnpike from a 7 Brew, a drive-thru coffee concept.
The Midlothian Foxtail would be the company’s second coffee shop in the Richmond region, following the opening of its store at the West Broad Village center in Short Pump last November.
Founded in 2016, Foxtail has nearly 100 locations either open or planned in its home state of Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Michigan and Nevada, according to the company’s website.
Foxtail sells espresso and cold-brew coffee, as well as teas, baked goods and breakfast sandwiches. The company, which franchises its concept, roasts its own coffee at its flagship location near Orlando.
The Short Pump location was Foxtail’s first in the Old Dominion. Cocchiarella said the company planned to further expand in Virginia and is in the site-selection process, but didn’t share more details about those plans.
In other local coffee news, Surrounding Counties reopened in a new location in March after closing near Freeman High School in 2024, and Norfolk-based Coalescence Coffee Co. is planning a cafe in downtown Richmond.

Foxtail Coffeee is such a cute coffee shop!
Can anyone tell my how this is better than or different from any other coffee shop?
This exemplifies why it is crucial for one to have a solid foundation in logic. The Socratic method was once de rigueur in civilized societies. Now we must endure an onslaught of tautology, solipsism, and banal propositions. No, please oblige me this: how is anything considered to be better or different by the observer, the one measuring? Is something only chose by perception of it being better by the chooser? Are other factors in play? Why do we have more than one of anything? Why can I choose from 3 different 600 thread-count organic cotton sheets at Macy’s? Are they… Read more »
