I love Coffee Box, but most of the time, a majority of their bakery items are not available in the morning before 8:30 AM, and some of the remaining bakery items are not fresh. This is not acceptable for a shop of this caliber, which otherwise maintains a good standard. The service is inconsistent, which is understandable, but please have the bakery items ready to go when you open the shop at 7:45 AM.

I love this cafe and they do open mic nights. The coffee was very good and came out quickly. The shop is full of beautiful plants!

I arrived just shy of closing and was greeting eagerly as opposed to rushed. I greatly appreciate it when service is delivered properly. The quality of my cappuccino with almond milk was nothing less than fresh, creamy, and delicious. Let me not fail to mention the vegan style cranberry nut cookie that elevated the already tentative service and good coffee to the next level.

Manager and owner reached out to me and offered to increase my points. Very kind follow through and communication. Haven't updated my points yet but appreciate the gesture very much.

First, let me say this place is a very cute location & likeable environment, however; due to the live band and small space, the music was too loud when attempting to place my order & seats were limited. For drinks, I ordered a Caramel Macchiato & Chai Latte. The drinks were pretty good but I wasn't able to have the full experience (latte art while eating in) due to the limited seating...The food we ordered were The Bacon Egg and cheddar croissant & the Salmon sandwich with a poached egg. The bacon wasn't crispy, it had a limp & moist consistency as if it were boiled which wasn't a pleasant experience. The Salmon sandwich wasn't very pleasant for my husband as his expectations were set a bit different. He expected a raw consistency; similar to what you'd get in a traditional smoked (lox) salmon, not a cooked texture which threw off the flavor of the sandwich for him. The poached egg was overcooked which is a disappointment because as we were placing the order, the cashier worded "poached means runny" & he unfortunately got a hard-boiled egg. Aside from the idiosyncrasies, the salted chocolate chip cookie was an amazing feat. We may try out this location again in the future, hopefully with a less convoluted experience.

Literally what a vibe! Coffee was outstanding, food was delicious, atmosphere amazing, also sweet people behind the register, very helpful when selecting food as well as pastries being that it was my first time there! Meet a sweet person who literally comes in as a regular said since day 1 and told me to come in on weekends for the live show they have around 11am! And Thursdays 7-9pm free mic! Can’t wait to be back just for the delicious food and coffee

This is my first time coming here early in the morning and I had a GREAT experience!! The ambiance is so cute from the decor to the music. I ordered the matcha ice late (whole milk) with a Black Ham Swiss panini and a cream fruit waffle. It was all so so good! The service was so kind and I'm glad I chose to go here for an early breakfast trip. I would 100% go back for more and I definitely recommend for a quick but yummy breakfast or even for a quick study session.

Nice place with pleasant vibe

I was looking forward to visiting this place after reading the comments on Google. However, while the establishment itself was great, I found the food and coffee to be overrated and expensive. Moreover, the hot chocolate I ordered was barely even lukewarm and the barista forgot to bring my food altogether.

I absolutely love this coffee shop. Great location. The people there are just so friendly and helpful and just a great energy in the place overall. It’s a great place to work, read, do some writing and etc. During the weekends they have live bands that play which makes the place even more pleasant. I was on the verge of looking for the best carrot cake and so far theirs is the best. I came in looking for a slice but unfortunately they didn’t have it for the day. The owner then accommodated me by offering for a cake to be baked the next day for such a GREAT price. The cake as you can see was decorated so well. Plus the place is dog friendly as long as they are in a bag. Bhazi gives the place two paws up ! ?
