    Iced Caffe Latte with whole milk & Turkish Coffee
    Adam C.

    After dining at Propaganda, a friend and I decided on grabbing a coffee to kill some time and chat. It happened to be right next door, so it was convenient in that regard. When I first walked in, it was hard to ascertain where their menu is. It is on the left wall, and there are some specials listed on a pillar by the register. It took me a minute to register where this stuff was, but their menu is extremely simple at a glance. This spot does not carry syrups or sweeteners, which was unexpected. I genuinely enjoy different flavors that make coffee shops more unique to try, when I try a new shop, so I was slightly bummed on that. I got an iced cafe latte, and I did think it was still good. It was smooth, despite not being sweet. The baristas working here are nice, attentive, and it definitely seems like they care about quality coffee and their craft. The interior is spacious and more of an industrial look, which I don't mind. I don't think I'd be stopping by again, unless I was also dining or doing something else close by, but this was an enjoyable new try. I'd recommend it, if you're into some quality, non-sugary coffee.

    If your tastebuds had socks the Boxx would knock them right off! An eye pleasing coffee loft that will take you on an adventure just like Lara Croft. Now let me tell you why this place rocks! Dine in service is in full effect and that right there gets my respect. I ordered the espresso shot set to start off with and it was a sure hit with the presentation as well as the kick I needed. Next I had their Cortado and it was also good but no surprise there. I ended this adventure with the Pour Over and it was the perfect exclamation point to my journey. The service was good and the ambiance is what you expect from a place like this if you know what I'm talking about. The baristas here are serious about the craft and you can taste as well seeing how they prepare each order. And that's my take on it, Peace out my peeps...

    It's very nice inside. There's plenty of seating, a decent number of outlets, and the space feels comfortable to work or hang out in. The furniture does feel a bit worn in places, though. The menu is surprisingly small, and they don't offer flavor options for lattes. I usually prefer sweeter coffee drinks or even chai/matcha options, but those weren't available when I visited. The coffee itself was okay -- not bad, but probably not something I'd order again. Parking is also a struggle. Garage parking can go up to $24 max, and parking at One Santa Fe is around $18 max. Street parking exists, but it's notoriously limited in this area. That said, the service was genuinely great and very fast. Overall, it's a comfortable space with solid service, but between the parking situation, limited menu, and average coffee, I'd give it a 3/5.

    Solid latte. However I thought it was too expensive for what it is and lack of parking is the reason for - 1star. Service is nothing to point out, looks like a cozy place to hang out and chat.

    Indoor seating

    Located on 3rd St in the heart of the Arts District in Los Angeles, this coffee shop provides lots of seating indoors and outside, for people to enjoy their beverages and to study/read/converse. It's mostly ambient lighting, so on a cloudy day like today, it's a bit dim if you want to read. Staff are friendly and quick. We ordered cafe lattes, a matcha latte and cinnamon rolls. They brought them to our table within 8 minutes, with the cinnamon rolls gently heated. Wow! They tasted like croissant cinnamon rolls with flaky butteriness, not overly sweet. The lattes were very smooth and satisfying. Eclectic music softly playing in the background, some jazz, some oldies.

    Clean and spacious with chill vibes and plenty of seating space. Friendly costumer service and strong coffee. Parking available in back parking structure with validation, available with purchase on a first come basis.

    Cute cafe that serves Turkish coffee! Very cute, chic, and quiet cafe in dtla. Walked in specifically for the Turkish coffee as it's something you can't find just anywhere. Flavor was just as I would have hoped, very strong and flavorful. Also tried one of their vegan chocolate muffin. Omg wasn't expecting it but it was very good. Nice place to sit and do work. Several small tables to sit for a bit to chat with a friend, maybe take a zoom call. Can see students sitting and studying with small groups (reminded me of my college years).

    Caffe Latte Matcha Latte This coffee shop is the perfect place to catch up with friends, do work/study and explore Arts District. Plenty of seating inside/outside & parking structure available. We ordered caffe latte & matcha latter and enjoyed both drinks. We will definitely come back here! Thank you

    First time here, weekday, parking was surprisingly easy, friendly helpful staff, great menu, coffee was full of flavor and fresh, tons of seating inside and out, very clean and inviting, great vibe, would highly recommend and return.

    Boxx is a beautiful coffee shop in the Arts district. The vibe is 10/10, so is the presentation. I wish I could give a higher rating to the Matcha latte I had. It was a 6/10 in my book. The presentation was beautiful and the matcha was creamy, but it also tasted bland and watered down. We visited Boxx on a Sunday morning. The place was not super busy or crowded which was perfect for a slow Sunday. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and think that it is a great place for hang.

    A Life without coffee is like a broken pencil - pointless. :D With that said let's begin this sweet review. BOXX COFFEE (est 2021) is an exquisite modern Turkish cafe shop in the art district of LA. They're located in Aliso luxury apartment building on E. 3rd street. We came on a rainy weekend to grab some coffee. I was mesmerized with the modernity and exquisite layout design of this cafe. Clearly, no money was spared here. That I can tell you. Moreover, the cafe's atmosphere has a positive energy and peaceful tranquility. Their coffee menu list was modest as well as their pastries. I had a Croissant and hot Turkey Coffee, a strong traditionally prepared enjoyed in small cups. It is served with a small cup of water to cleanse thy palate. Drinking this coffee is traditionally not meant to be rushed as culture dictates it. The best way to complement this coffee is with a warmed butter Croissant to assuage the robust flavor of the coffee. Staff were cordial and professional. Prices were relatively fair and affordable. Parking in the art district can be challenging, so it's best to come early in the morning. Overall, one can posit that this is a lovely modern cafe. I highly recommend it.

    Although the parking situation has always been hard at the Boxx, their coffee is worth it. I stopped by the other day to get a bag of beans, and it turned out to be really good. Staffs are helpful and friendly. Will go back again if near the area.

She was genuinely engaged in talking about coffee, understood the beans she was serving, and was able to answer questions without hesitation. That's becoming harder to find these days, and it definitely added to the overall experience. The cortado itself was well executed. The temperature was right where it should be, allowing the flavors to come through immediately without having to wait for the drink to cool down. I was able to clearly taste the notes in the coffee, and the balance between the espresso and milk was excellent. The body held together nicely throughout the drink and never felt thin or watered down. My only critique would be that the crema and microfoam leaned a little more matte and foamy than glossy. It wasn't enough to take away from the drink, but a slightly silkier, shinier texture would have elevated it even further. That said, this was an Ethiopian natural, which can be a bit trickier to dial in and pair with milk while still preserving the character of the coffee, so it's a fairly minor criticism. Overall, a very good cortado from a shop that clearly cares about coffee. Good execution, proper temperature, clear flavor separation, and knowledgeable staff always make for a better coffee experience.

The main thing that stands out here is their 1987 coffee roaster which is the center piece of the cafe. They roast various single origin beans on a daily basis, so you know you can purchase some fresh coffee beans here. If you need your beans grounded, they do grind it for you depending on your brewing method. They have beans of light roast, medium roast and dark roast and sell by various weights for a very reasonable price. They also sell various tea leaves, baked goods (croissant, muffin, scones, bagel, Danish, coffee cake, Dessert Therapy cookies, and merchs. They also have a seasonable menu that changes. When I went, it was the Sakura season menu. Staff were all friendly and were very willing to answer any questions regarding the menu. Please note, the base coffee blend for each day varies and rotates on a daily basis For my visit, I tried ... 1. Buttered Coffee (4.5/5) The base coffee for the day was the Peru single origin, which was well-balanced; slightly sweet with a hint of tartness and nuttiness. They then add a chunk of butter into the coffee, which helps cut some of the acidity, but also is supposed to enhance the caffeine effect and give you additional energy from the fat. It does leave a layer of fat/oiliness so if you are not a fan of that, then this may not be for you. The butter did give it a subtle buttery flavor, which I personally liked. 2. Matcha with Sakura Cold Foam (4/5) The matcha was blended smoothly and was not grassy at all. The Sakura cold foam didn't really taste like Sakura (been to Japan, so know what real Sakura flavor should taste like), but instead, just tasted floral. 3. Columbia Supremo Whole Beans Full body and aromatic. Good for those who like to drink black coffee 4. Guatemala Huehuetenango Whole Beans: Crisp, acidic and a hint of nuttiness Glad I found this local roaster where I'll definitely be coming back to get some more fresh beans.
