About
Foundry42 was established in 2016 by Cooper Boone, who saw untapped potential in the beautiful architecture and charm of downtown Port Jervis - a riverside city resting squarely on the junction of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. An easy train ride from NYC, Port Jervis has gradually regained its spark, and the Foundry dream burgeoned with it.
Over the years (and through a pandemic!) Foundry has become a community center, popular café, event venue, and retail boutique that welcomes locals and visitors alike! In 2023 Foundry42 was bought by Renée Meola, who had been general manager of the store for 5+ years, and her smile continues to greet guests at the door to this day.

The Foundry ethos is simple - people first. Always. Everything else that we do, from baking goodies & pulling espresso, to creating beautiful & fun retail experiences, would lose its heart without the love we have for the folks that walk through our doors. You belong here!
And if you haven’t visited 42 Front Street yet - we can’t wait to meet you! There’s a tasty drink, a cozy space, and a warm hello with your name on it.
