Need more places like this in Pueblo! Stopped in at 10am on a Friday for a speciality coffee and quiches. First, the location is great right next to a big beautiful walkable tree shade covered park. Nice big covered patio seating area and several different inside seating areas as well. I was greeted promptly by the friendly employees who took my order immediately. Unfortunately they were out of quiche so I ordered the avacado toast and a veggie sandwich with The Nikki coffee. Coffee was out in 5 minutes, delicious and not overly sweet which I appreciate,, with food to follow in another 5 minutes. The business is clearly conscious with the type of packaging they choose which I also apprecite. Great local business! Super cute shop with locally made art and goods for sale as well as games and entertainment for diners. Also, I am not gluten free and the bread is delicious to me. Will recommend and return to try the quiche and lunch menu. read more

The food was so flavorful and my salad was enough for two meals! I got the Blue Cheese Matters salad and a white Chocolate raspberry scone! The scone had a sweet crispy outer crust that was perfect for the moist inside! Service was fast for my lunch to go. It is a nice place for lunch with indoor and outdoor seating. The staff was friendly too. read more

The Blackbox Cafe - Blue Cheese Matters salad - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pueblo, Colorado

This was the first time to visit; close to Mineral Palace Park and Parkview Hospital. I had an appointment at the hospital, so thought I'd give it a try. The outdoor patio was nice and I like eating outdoors in good weather. What I didn't expect, you must go inside and order at the counter. Okay, not anything I couldn't do. Nice guy behind the counter. Ordered the "apple, chicken, walnut" salad. Arrived in no time; good portion. Now I just had the "apple Pecan" salad at Wendy's a few days ago and their's was better and $5 less expensive. The reason I gave this place a three; no bar, self order and the salad, although good, had "too" many walnuts and raisins. The dressing was good, but need more chicken and greens and fewer walnuts and raisins! Probably won't go again. read more

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. read more

The Blackbox Cafe - House made Blueberry Scone light as air and the Chikki salad - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pueblo, Colorado

The owner (idk which one. Just one of the litany) called the police and had me trespassed because I showed displeasure at some blonde bink putting her entire, unwashed hand into my drink cup right in front of me, and asked for a refund, while refusing to accept the septic drink in front of me. Poorly trained, hard-of-hearing, awkward staff, and increasingly miserly offerings, due to the company not being profitable. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Love this place! It's one of few gluten free spots in the area, so we frequent it often! Everything has always been delicious!

Had amazing breakfast sandwiches and coffee this morning. The space was clean and inviting. Best part was Kylie though. She quickly took our order and then was so engaging, if I lived locally I would definitely be a regular at this coffee shop. read more

Breakfast sandwiches 4/10. Bread tasted like it was older or frozen, and it was overtoasted. Cheese was half melted gloopy mess which hid overcooked bacon. It was a bad morning for the chef....and consequently us as well. The pastries were small, expensive and had an interesting texture and flavor 5/10. Not the best experience and worse was the $21 for two small breakfast sandwiches and two coffees and $12 for a small muffin and piece of cake both approximately 2" x 3"...they were tiny. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose...as consumers we lost today. But we did try to contribute to local businesses so we feel good about that. Oh, and the coffee was good, 9/10. read more

We had 5 people in our group and only one of them got their coffee right. The coffee was subpar and the service was bad and slow. The place was cool but you can tell the workers don't want to be there. read more

A very good, though limited menu of breakfast sandwiches. The coffees and teas are good. I had a heavy cream latte which was rich and tasty, and not as bitter as a Starbucks. Service was friendly, and the order taker was always listening, and seeking to give more than one needed, but not pushy. It has a contemporary ambience of a big city, coffee, house, with tables, inside and out. With its smallish but comfortable ambience, it was not too noisy to have a low voice conversation and hear one another. All in all, I recommended well read more

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. read more

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! read more

I gave this place a high rating in the past. Alas, this time it doesn't earn that. It took nearly 50 minutes to get our order of avocado toast and sausage breakfast sandwiches. Sad because while the quality of the food was still there, losing/forgetting an order and delivering it 30 minutes beyond a normal window is just not acceptable. read more

I am a frequent customer of The Blackbox Cafe and it is my favorite coffee shop. The food is awesome! Great place for healthy options. But if you want to indulge, there are delectable pastries too. The coffee is the best! My drink of choice is a Hot Matt. Great place for meetings with friends and business relationships. The owner and staff are helpful, professional, and friendly. Some of the cafe's shelves display local art for sale. Grab a coffee, healthy snack or meal, or a gift for the person who has everything. Options are endless. read more

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. read more

The staff was very nice and polite but there was a really long wait to get our order. It's fine if you aren't in a hurry, but not ideal for grab and go. read more

I love this place. We're new to Pueblo and my husband was in Parkview hospital. Every time I came in they were so friendly and propped me up. The food is really good. I love the Chicky sandwich & the blue cheese salad. Iced coffee is better than anything else I've had. read more

What a remarkable coffee and breakfast experience to find in Pueblo. Just back from Santa Fe, we'd experienced an incredible level of caffeine and interesting breakfast options. The Blackbox latte was just as good, beautifully presented and lush. I had the morning glory soufflé the counter team recommended and a cranberry white chocolate scone. There was a side of sour cream with green chilies and homemade salsa for the soufflé. TO DIE FOR. In fact, I also had to buy another scone! Venue is outstanding and filled with sunshine and seating. Now for the barista and service team. Everyone was personable, pleasant and dedicated to our having the best possible experience. Such a home run! Thank you everyone, Bill read more

This place has come under new management in the last week and is not the place it used to be. I paid $14 for half a salad, cup of soup and iced tea. The salad was horrible, I couldn't even eat it- wilted lettuce and liquidy blue cheese dressing. The soup was also very watery. Will not be going back unfortunately because I used to really like this place read more

Excellent pastries and stylish place Quiet neighborhood and pleasant place to work.

Food is excellent! Service is top notch. It is an adorable space, although I only have gotten take out.

Stopped by on a whim. The pictures looked very good and organic options were a definite plus. Turns out it's under new ownership. The menus are different than those previously posted. I ordered the Greek salad with chicken. Portions of ingredients were very generous and the homemade blue dressing was spot on. Will return whenever I'm in town again. read more

You pay for what you get, but it's worth it. I love this place! It's the only environment like it in Pueblo. Most coffee shops in Pueblo are either dark and decked out in secondhand tables & couches or they're a Starbucks. This place feels like a coffee shop you'd see in Denver or even some I've been to in LA. It is certainly on the pricey side, so I don't go here as much as I'd like. But I like meeting friends here to have good coffee, great food (seriously. The sandwiches are all so good), and do some co-working (the Wi-Fi is pretty fast). If you enjoy a hipstery vibe in your coffee shops (which I do), this is THE spot in Pueblo to come. read more

Great lunch spot. Everything was very fresh and delicious. Easy location with quick access from the highway. Absolute gem!

Out of all the gluten free items that were advertised. Received flavored coffee that is disgusting! That was not what I ordered. Unsympathetic and argumentative customer service. Avoid!! Avoid!! Avoid!! read more

Best coffee / espresso in town! We are visiting from out of town. Great vibes. Good music. Absolutely Adorable!!!! read more

Cute little place with plenty of seating inside and out. Great service and delicious coffee and treats. I had a Mexican coffee which was a little too spicy for me but good. I also had a pumpkin cake that was to die for. Nice atmosphere and great place to study, read, or hang out with friends read more

Wow! I can't say enough good about this place. What an awesome surprise here in pueblo! The pastries are of the charts. The food is amazing. Everything made in house.

Excellent breakfast bagel sandwich, delicious strawberry scones, and decent coffee. Cute ambience and great customer service. Will definitely stop by next time I'm in the area! read more

What a remodel! Come to this place and tell me that it used to be an old gas station. Tasteful, fresh and modern is what you will find now. Plenty of covered outdoor seating with music adjacent to Pueblo's mature Mineral Palace Park means that the atmosphere is delightful. Despite it being the Grand Opening Day service was quick. The menu is fairly large so updates will come as we work our way through it. read more

Pueblo, Colorado! Are stepping up your food game or what?! The Black Box is a former gas station, and to see it transformed to a fresh farm to fork operation that also supports other small businesses, hello Hopscotch Bakery. We truly enjoyed our experience, AMD didn't mind the extra cost for quality food.....Psst, no Sysco crap!!! Do stop in and check it out. 10 out of 10 would recommend! read more

Just stopped at this amazing little coffee place on our way out of town. Morgan was absolutely amazing and the coffee is even better. So thankful we stumbled across this gem! read more

Perfection!!! A "Blackbox" sign caught my eye and I stopped for THE iced latté that I literally needed; I'm on the last leg of a 16-hour drive. Seriously though, this place is beyond cute and has nailed all of the design details from planted herbs to beautifully woven baskets and a bright airy feel inside. Caffeine + Ambience for the win read more

loved this place, especially for gluten free. They were super friendly and accommodating. I will definitely be going here any time I am in Pueblo. read more

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

This place has been here for awhile, so I regret that it took so long to give it a try. I can't tell you how much we enjoyed the visit! Really nice, sunny atmosphere with great music... and the employees were outstanding. We had the quiche, hummus toast, and a breakfast wrap, as well as a latte and a chai tea. I rate this place a 9, and will be sure to return. Thanks for bringing a bit of upscale experience to our little blue collar city! read more
