our story

Bridgewater Coffee Co. started with a simple idea: serve great coffee and treat people like family.

 

Jane and Joe Foster opened their first drive-thru coffee shop in Idaho in 2001, and their passion for hospitality has only grown since. After relocating to the Shenandoah Valley in 2017, they brought that same heart to Bridgewater.

​

Today, their daughter Mary continues the tradition, running the shop with the same welcoming spirit and love for community. With over 15 years of experience in the coffee world — starting in the family’s original drive-thru — Mary has built deep roots in the Shenandoah Valley and a strong connection to its people. She's passionate about creating a warm, inviting space where every customer feels seen, and every cup of coffee is crafted with care.

​

With more than two decades in the coffee industry, we remain a family-run café focused on quality, consistency, and creating a space for people to return to. Whether you’re new to town or a familiar face, we’re glad you’re here.
