    House made Blueberry Scone light as air and the Chikki salad

    What a delightful gem we found hidden in Pueblo, Co. on our way through after a mountain bike ride. The food is fresh and delicious. My BLT tasted as yummy as if Mom had made it with love on a summer afternoon. Both the sun dappled patio surrounded by flowers and the interior are comfortable to eat in. Get the Scones!!! I usually hate scones... these were out of this world.

    Hummus Toast

    I was in town on business and was looking for a quick bite. Vibes are immaculate. Just the kind of low energy and cozy you would want early in the morning. Service was very nice. They accommodated non-dairy request for my drink. My piece of toast was just crusty enough and just soft enough for a perfect loaded toast. I couldn't say anything better about this place. It was exactly what I was looking for and I highly recommend.

    Tucked in a residential center, this third place coffee shop is definitely worth the stop. Nice change of pace from the commercialized shops like Starbucks. Very modern chic decor and upbeat vibe with a few tables inside and an outside patio as well. They have a small breakfast and lunch menu, pastry window, and the usual coffee/latte favorites. I ordered a breve hot latte, a gluten free chewy chocolate and walnut bar, and the BLT toast. The latte was smooth and delicious as a breve should be. The chocolate bar was heavenly. One of the best gluten free treats I have had. The BLT toast was also good and the bacon had a wonderful flavor. This place is definitely worth a try if you are local and a definite stop when I am in town. Highly recommend and so happy to see a family owned business with quality food options and delicious drinks.

    I did not expect Pueblo to have something like this and I loved them from the moment we parked our car and walked towards Blackbox. An upcycled gas station store (restrooms are outside keeping in theme with a gas station), the black and white decor with wooden tables screams chic, fun and young! Inside, their shelves of teas, spices, peanut butter among other things attracts you immediately. Their menu is limited but interesting. I got the Herb Pesto turkey sandwich while my friend got the salami and olive sandwich. She also got a Jones soda and I got the Italian tea soda. Both sandwiches were delicious, but I liked mine more than hers (a little too olive-y for me). The pesto sauce was delicious. The baguette was hard though. That's primarily why I'm not giving them 5 stars. Took quite a bit to bite into the bread. We got a chocolate croissant as desert and it was very nice. I'm a fan of plain or savory croissants so I only had the plain croissant portion. The Jones soda was surprisingly delicious! Not sure why more places don't have it - just as tasty as the regular branded Coke or Pepsi and you can email them a picture to put on their cans :) The Italian tea soda deserves a whole paragraphs of itself - carbonated water, cream, cardemom, tea and syrup with lots of ice. Yum!! I'm an Indian tea person and I usually hate pretty much any other tea but I took a chance and it was so so good! The perfect drink to have when you need an iced caffeine drink! All in all, great experience. Will be back to try the pies.

    Cool interior

    Beautiful ambience & an even more generous staff! We visited from Austin, TX & Blackbox felt so welcoming & down to earth! The staff is super kind and willing to educate you about styles of coffee, if you ask! Lots of cool local honey, soaps & unique drinks you can take camping! Service was quick and tasty! We had the potato pie with Sriracha Sauce (get the sauce fosho!) & brekkie sandwich! Def delicious! Check this place out, it won't disappoint. You may even make a new friend or two!

    The coffee here is AMAZING! The staff is so nice and the ambiance is very chic. I found this place yesterday when I was driving through Pueblo and got a dirty chai latte with oat milk. I was really impressed with the quality of the drink and how delicious the chai was. It wasn't spicy or vanilla but somewhere in between both. The coffee shop is so cute and there is also a pastry truck outside so you can pair your beverage with a delicious treat.

    we're so lucky to have several third wave coffee shops in Pueblo, and this one is my favorite. it's a modern industrial vibe with nice furnishings and creative decor. the patio's huge and heated. they use organic milk, and beans from Novo and Intelligentsia... solid choices. all their coffee syrups are organic. the lavender is particularly enticing. they have a large breakfast and lunch menu. homemade soups, sandwiches, breads, salads. also delicious pastries, cookies, and pie. please consider supporting family owned independent coffee shops rather than the big chains. everything's better here than you-know-where.

    Horrible coffee! Out of advertised items! No gluten free items. Never going back! Terrible customer service! Excuses not solutions.

When you walk into the coffee shop, you'll feel a grungy type vibe within the shop. To order I walked up to the counter and placed my coffee order with the barista. I ordered an iced green chili white mocha, which was excellent and had just a little bit of spice. When I was waiting for my drink, people were also working remotely within the coffee shop and it's probably a great place to catch up on some work. If you are in the Pueblo area, I highly recommend stopping by this coffee shop. It was an easy stop as I needed caffeine for the rest of the road trip.

The alternative milks they use are all Silk brand (aka added sugars and such) so I skipped out on my usual latte. Got a bacon and egg croissant which looked bomb in the photos but lackluster in reality...2 pieces of not fully cooked bacon and one egg that looked like it might have been nuked in the microwave and not fluffy at all...I get that eggs are pricey now, but one egg barely covers half of any bread-vehicle. Making the sandwich mostly croissant. The saving grace was that it was a damn good flaky & tasty one. Decent spot when needing to get some work done while passing through, but not somewhere id go out of my way to try

My daughter got the macarons and I got a lemon cookie and a peppermint chocolate cake. My daughter said the macarons were delicious and my cookie and cake were good. The lemon cookie was not particularly lemony or sweet but had a sugary topping that helped out with the flavor. The peppermint cake had just the right amount of peppermint but the chocolate part seemed a little dry but not enough to ruin the chocolatey goodness. They also make homemade bread which looked delicious. All in all the place holds a certain charm and everyone was nice and pleasant and very helpful behind the counter.

My friend got the Pike peak brownie, the love at first bite chocolate cupcake and the carrot cake. Everything I've had so far is delicious!! Even the lavender macaron was really really good. The lemon cookie wasn't too sweet or very lemony but had the right amount of tart. I would definitely get more of the macarons and that cookie. The lemon cupcake was not as loved as the other two. The center of the cupcake had a big splash of lemony goodness but it tasted artificial. The whipped cream was a little too much for me. I think I would eat this cupcake without the cream topping. The cupcake itself could also do with more lemon than it had. My friend loved her brownie and carrot cake but did not like the chocolate brownie. I will definitely be back for more macarons and that lemon cookie!
