    I love the changing rotation of coffees. The passion and fun the baristas have. Do not miss trying a flight of coffee. It is educational and delicious.

    Have always been a strictly drip coffee drinker but after several friends suggested Boxcar's almond latte, I decided to take the plunge. No regrets, they make a great latte.

    Prices are steep and the coffee is never especially hot but it’s a chill place to spend some time. Best patio for a coffee shop or bar in the neighbourhood - when the weather is warm.

    I am sure the coffee is great, but you have to come in the evening. Pizza is amazing!!! Great selection of wine and whisky.

    I got a soy latte. It was good, sweet tasting. My experience wasn’t the greatest. They kicked their customers out 2hrs earlier than Google says they close, so we spent less than an hour there.
