Boxx Coffee Roasters Co.
About Boxx Coffee Roasters Co.
Roasting happens on site at Boxx Coffee Roasters Co., a coffee roastery and café on E 3rd Street in the Arts District of Los Angeles, where the roaster sits on display in the room. Traditional Turkish coffee comes in a small cup with a small cup of water alongside, and single-origin pour-overs run beside espresso drinks including the latte, cortado, and flat white, with lattes served lid-free so the latte art stays visible. Matcha latte, peach green tea, and cold brew cover the non-coffee side, and croissants, muffins, and cookies sit at the counter. Whole bean coffee is sold by the bag, including seasonal single-origin lots for people brewing at home. The café occupies the ground floor of an apartment building and draws people working and studying over a cup, though parking nearby can be difficult. Service is walk-in, with no reservations taken, and the doors open daily through the daytime. Dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the coffee itself, with single-origin pour-overs and the cortado made with seasonal Rwanda beans singled out, and the latte, flat white and Turkish coffee also drawing praise. Close behind are the pastries, including the chocolate croissant, almond croissant and olive citrus muffin, plus a peach green tea and a matcha latte. Several describe a clean, spacious room with indoor and outdoor seating where people work, read or study, and a few mention laptop-friendly Wi-Fi. Baristas are called friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, one offering coffee samples and another handing a birthday visitor a free cookie. Criticism is small but specific: one reviewer found the cortado served hotter than expected, which muted flavors until it cooled, with thick crema and minimal latte art, and another thought the bagged coffee beans overpriced for the size. One reviewer also notes parking in the art district can be challenging, while another found it easy on a weekday. Lattes arrive lid free so the latte art can be enjoyed before the first sip.

“Best almond croissant here. Wonderful drip, Turkish coffee, espresso. Don’t miss out.”

“Stopped by Boxx Coffee and had a cortado made with their seasonal Rwanda beans. The highlight was being able to pick up some of the black tea characteristics, which gave the drink a nice level of clarity and let the origin stand out. The cortado was served a bit hotter than a cortado should be, which muted some of the flavors early on. As it cooled, the coffee became much more expressive and the Rwanda profile started to shine through. The crema and microfoam on top were also a little thicker than what I’d typically expect from a cortado, and the latte art was fairly minimal. The space itself was beautiful and a good place to hang out. The service was friendly and straightforward. Overall, the coffee was good and I would definitely return.”

“My friend and I came to this coffee shop. We both got the Caffe late. The barista was super engaging and welcoming. It was my friend's birthday, and she gave us a free cookie. Honestly, it's one of the best cookies I've had in a long time. …”

“Very cute and clean cafe at the arts district. Many people come here and work. I see 4 people play mahjong too, which is a bit hilarious. They have flat white which is so rare in USA. And the coffee art meets my standard lol. Will come back again.”
