What customers say

A pleasant atmosphere, and great coffee. Boxcar Coffee indeed gets great beans and knows how to brew it. Coffee lovers will appreciate the baristas’ skills and knowledge in coffee. The place, however, can get very crowded.

★★★★☆ — Khalifa, 2018-06

Absolutely DELICIOUS coffee and pastries! This was the best cappuccino I had during my visit to Boulder. The pastries were phenomenal, and my only regret is not eating more. If available, get the kouign amann. It was amazingly buttery and crispy.

Excellent coffee prepared well. Come for the espresso, stay for the pastries. Mourn the former Daedalus deli that is out of biz in the same location. Worth the wait (but come off peak if possible). Chairs are all uncomfortable and encourage moving on promptly.

★★★★★ — Andy, 2024-08

Love this local spot, the pastries are SO good. Baristas are always pleasant and the coffee always tastes like it's been artfully prepared. Treat yourself to one of their pour overs, they are well worth the wait.
