This may be the most mediocre coffee I have ever had. The horchata oat milk latte was excessively sweet and I thought it tasted like falafel The only thing noteworthy about this coffee shop is the building itself. It looks cool, especially when it’s lit up at Christmas time. They could have positioned the building so that it had views of the plaza, but instead, there is a wall facing the plaza, and the second story has views of the parking lot. Huge missed opportunity!
This is our second time going to coffee box. Both times we have had the same issue. They have terrible service and a horrible system for keeping track of orders. The first time we went we thought it was just because they were busy, they gave people the wrong drinks because they don’t ask for names or pay attention to customers once they order. They just set the drinks out with no description or calling of drinks most look very similar. They made our drinks after several people behind us and when I went to ask about it they then made them the wrong and smaller size than we had paid for it almost took us 30-45 minutes for 2 simple drinks and pasties they didn’t even warm. The drinks were fairly good and unique. We decided to try again when it was less busy, there was one person ahead of us and no body else. They proceeded to make people’s drinks out of order and several people behind us got their drinks and food before us. We were waiting 15 minutes before we got our drinks when there was only one order with two drinks in front of us. Then when I had asked they couldn’t find the order, and didn’t really say much and just handed me drinks. I asked what drink was what and they didn’t even know. They gave us a wrong drink and they were not good and just thrown together. The baristas didn’t really even care either time, there was no remorse or apology. I understand when it’s busy it can be like that but clearly their system is flawed and needs some help keeping track of orders. Also, some kinder baristas that actually care about their customers and the product they are paying for may help. Get some printable labels, write the order on the cup, or even ask your customers names, and have a separate pick up area too maybe. All simple things that could easily improve your system and probably save everyone some time and stress. We will not be coming back or recommending.
The concept is very cool and the lofted seating was comfy. I had a taro milk boba latte and it was okay. I would say it was mid sweetness and the boba were more jelly like instead of the typical tapioca pearls. My partner got a horchata latte which was very good. I was having issues with the wifi. Also there is no restroom on site but there is a very nice public restroom on the other side of the park.
Grabbed some coffee while traveling through El Paso. It has a pretty vibe. Built from stacked shipping containers. Service window at one end and sitting up top. The staff was friendly and there was plenty to pick from. I link Americanos with a bit of milk. Was hot and mellow. No harsh acidity. N*joy...
Really neat little coffee shop made of old shipping containers, right off of San Jacinto plaza.I had an apple pecan cinnamon muffin and a delicious horchata latte
I ordered an iced pistachio latte with boba, and it was AMAZING! 10/10 just for that drink
One of my all time favorite coffee shops! My siblings and I make sure we visit every time we are in town.
This place is very cozy! I’d love to see more of these throughout Texas! There’s an upstairs and is nice for getting work done.
Though it's quite expensive (over $7 for a small), I definitely recommend the oatmilk taro latte with boba. Super cute shop with lots of patio seating, and I appreciate the non-dairy options.
I came mid afternoon and the upper box car was pretty calm and pleasant. Had the white chocolate frappe which was nice.
