Cute, quaint place in downtown Summit. Parking can be difficult but it's a safe town to walk around in so that's fine. Staff was nice and baristas were quick to make drinks and get our orders out. It gets busy here - it's a great place to catch up with a friend! Tables are awfully close together but still oddly comfortable and inviting. Decor is super cute and love how some tables are wood and some are marble - it's quite charming. They have a couple of comfortable lounge chairs and looks especially cozy in the fall and winter seasons. Love the bright atmosphere. The coffee is fabulous! The latte wasn't too sweet - just the way I like it and perfectly frothy. Tastes different from coffee at large chains - in a good way. Their teas are beautifully fragrant as well and their chai tea latte is strong, unlike other places I've been. Their pastries aren't bad - I ordered a blueberry thingy. Kinda chalky and not too memorable but the coffee makes up for it. Docked a star because the prices are way too high; maybe even higher than Starbucks which is right across the street. Also for the parking but that isn't such a big deal. Overall super cute place with good coffee. read more

Boxwood Coffee - Latte and that blueberry pastry thing - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Summit, New Jersey

Nice decor, friendly staff, and great options for coffee and hot coco. The only thing I felt was lacking was cleanliness. The seats and table were crumby and sticky so I moved to the yellow sofa seat which had dirty napkins wedged into it. Aside from those options, the rest were hogged up with people putting their bags and stuff on the table next to them and the table meant for 6, was hogged by one person with his stuff sprawled. I was put off a bit and ended up just taking my drink to go. read more

The ambiance is lovely, the space is modern and great to meet with friends or do a little work or reading. Service was okay (depends on who's working). The coffee isn't strong I'm sad to say. read more

Modern day coffee house vibe with a friendly staff. Highly enjoyed my latte! There is a decent amount of beverages to choose from such as pour over coffee, lattes, matcha, tea, etc. I liked the board with weekend events listing things such as open mic night. Also, free Wi-Fi is always a plus! read more

Boxwood Coffee - Honey Cinnamon Latte & Chai Tea Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Summit, New Jersey

Nicely decorated, clean, bright coffee shop in Summit New Jersey. Nice place for a picker upper in the middle of the day. Noise level was medium. Low enough to relax or work. I had the medium roast drip Coffee. The Coffee was better with half and half compared to without. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. read more

This place caught my eye initially with the most wonderful quote on the window. I have frequented it since and like the ambiance and usually pretty fresh beans. The consistency of the coffee is mostly solid, however it would be good to see some greater standardization as I have come and had wonderful cups and sometimes it is schlepped. read more

The people here are nice enough, and I love the pastries and drinks. But they're incredibly slow. To wait 10 minutes for a tea? Incredibly frustrating. read more

Good Cafe but at the front counter is a "Wellness Bar" which has no price posted which should have, as it costs $6.00.. Warning other than that this supposedly wellness bar is not healthy at all as it is killer sweet and I really found it uneatable. The Boxwood owners just could not have tasted these things and approved. The one I picked was Date,Almond & Apricot or something like that and it really basically tasted like mashed Medjool Dates which have been engineered to be the most unbearablely sweet dates ever created. I write this as a warning..as they imply health but there is nothing healthy about them. read more

If you're looking for the best cappuccino in the area, look no further. Sarah (or maybe Sara) made the best cappuccino, and arguably the coolest latte art, I've seen come out of this coffeehouse. Outside of the amazing barista staff, the design of this small coffee shop is awesome. It gets busy, so it isn't always easy to find seating, but it's worth the wait if you want to sit down and drink your coffee or have some work to do and want to get outside the office or home. This will always be my go to in the area. Thank you again for the delicious cappuccino Sarah! read more

Boxwood Coffee - Cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Summit, New Jersey

Ample parking, pretty good coffee, adorable staff, nice decor, inside and outside seating-it perfectly serves its community.

For anyone commenting on the prices or comparison to Starbucks, boxwood puts far more attention to quality of ingredients and craft as well as attention to detail. It's more expensive than Starbucks because you're getting higher quality. Hard to make it much clearer than that. read more

Nice little coffee shop. Enjoyed a tremendous tres leches donut with a hot chai latte. Super nice staff and convenient location!

This place has all the ambience you'd expect from a small, local corner coffee house. Lots of people having conversations or working on their laptops. But their coffee--or at least the latte's I've had there--is just stellar. How the Starbucks down the street stays in business with Boxwood this close is a sad testament to the chain-bastardization of our culture. I look forward to hopping off the train and walking the block over to Boxwood every time I'm in Summit for work. Hope the locals support this place enough to keep it around! read more

i had the pumpkin doughnut and its so good! pumpkin seeds on top are a nice touch too. the only thing i never liked about this location is that it can get tight. people just sit on their laptops and never leave when people who are actually eating there want to sit down. *eye roll* but i still go once in a while. their treats are amazing. read more

Good coffee. Unbelievably slow service. There's no reason an espresso shot should take 10 min when I'm the only one there. This happens all the time. Doesn't matter how much you tip. This is the 3rd time I've walked in 10 min prior to my train, ordered a double shot, been the only one there, and have to ditch so I can grab the train. This will be the last time I ever try to do that. And since the only time I go is before the train then I guess it's safe to say Boxwood has lost a customer due to its incredibly slow service. read more

After a total fail of a coffee in Millburn, hubby pulled over in Summit, and bam! Here we are. First time here. Place is large and probably looked much different pre-pandemic with tables and chairs. Now there's only one table, a banquet, and plenty of social distancing space. Modern vibe, lots of treats behind the glass to pick from--plenty, if not all the ones I noticed, were GF!! Fantastic! Treated myself to a chocolate brownie then, and an almond milk latte. There was a wall of trinkets: coffee mugs and other paraphernalia that coffee lovers want and need. Around Christmas time, these trinkets come in handy as stocking stuffers, I guess. Back to the coffee... hot. Very hot. Usually, I'm not used to my lattes being that hot. Tasted good. I wish it was more frothy. The gf brownie was ok: plenty sweet. As in, you only need a little bite, and perhaps the rest will last for the next week--something very unlike me, because I usually finish my chocolaty treats in one sitting. In a pinch, I'd come back for another cup. read more

Boxwood Coffee - Brownie. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Summit, New Jersey

Boxwood is a great little corner coffee shop. I've never been. They have some excellent coffee and also some other interesting twists like Persian Rose tea and Green Tea Latte with Vanilla and Cardamom. They have non milk options which I also appreciate. The service is excellent and they truly do make your food and drink to order, in particular I asked for them to go lightly and they did exactly that. I can't complain about this place and certainly highly recommend grabbing a drink there and enjoying your experience. read more

Boxwood Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Summit, New Jersey

Cute coffee shop within walking distance of summit station. I had the London fog latte with oat milk, a gingerbread doughnut, and a tres leches doughnut. Doughnuts were yummy, very moist: gingerbread was better than the tres leches. Plenty of people were set up with their laptops, seems like a nice atmosphere to work. Nice big windows and great natural lighting. I will definitely visit this coffee spot again. read more

Came for the coffee. Returning for the kickA$$ barista. 444 we adore your energy. Thank you

Very delicious coffee!! Great matcha!!! Great donuts!!! Love! We enjoy the chai and the ambiance!!!

Decebt coffee shop with lots of places to sit and get some work done while sipping a coffee. They have some pastries too.

The establishment is clean ,very hip, and modern. The baristias are very kind and helpful. Very positive vibe. The coffee was good too . It has a nutty/sweet taste with alot of acidity. Is it the best coffee I ever had? not really, but it was enjoyable. Size of a small were also great for the price. Small looked like a large based on coffeeshops I have been to. So if anyone is in the area, try it out. Great coffee , great baristas, and a friendly atmosphere. read more

Boxwood Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Summit, New Jersey

So as a coffee snob I did not expect summit to have an A plus coffee shop. This is IT. I LOVE boxwood. Their flat white is pure perfection! The people here are also super nice. Would highly recommend this over the Starbucks across the street for your coffee needs. My only wish is that they served avocado toast or other healthy savory breakfast options. They have some yummy savory things but aren't not options that you can eat every day without a serious impact to your waistlinE. read more

Cute little shop with limited seating. Just like any other cafe, prices are a bit much, especially for the quality. On the plus side, there are free/cheap parking lots within walking distance. read more

Boxwood Coffees is a family-owned purveyor of artisan-quality hot beverages and light snacks that provides a terrific independently-minded alternative to the corporate siren of Starbucks' located just across the street. The atmosphere of the location is warm and welcoming, with plenty of comfortable seating and natural light despite an intimate feel, friendly and knowledgeable staff that are happy to offer their recommendations without sounding pretentious, and free WiFi for those who need to get some work done or seek a temporary distraction from those around them. The quality of the beverages and the cozy yet modern ambiance do come at a price -- which are somewhat higher than the other purveyors of the elixir of the gods in the area, but it's worth it to me (as it should be to you). read more

I really wanted to like this place--the photos make it look so inviting and cozy and the reviews made me excited to try their coffee! My friend ordered their tea, which came in a small french press, very cute and instagram-worthy. However, the taste was lacking so it was all presentation. I ordered a coffee, which was sour and acidic. There seems to be only one outlet for the entire cafe, not very conducive to patrons working. I wish I could like this place, but they fell very short o expectation. read more

Boxwood Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Summit, New Jersey

Not that busy (no line out the door) and it takes 35-40 mins for a latte to be made. No exaggeration. Why???

My latte wasn't great. The flavor of the espresso was extremely mild and the donut I ordered was so dry.

Was in summit for a day and wanted coffee. So glad I found this gem! We tried their ice coffee and single origin 'forget me not' (they have lots of single origins!). The acidity is right and not too strong perfect to my taste. Indoor seating area is also very nice and chic, lots of seats where you can just work/read/chill. If we come to Summit again will def drop by again! read more

The espresso was alright, Nothing special tbh. The chai tea latte tasted mostly like milk. The cold brew flavor was fine. Not any better than starbucks sadly. read more

Their decaf silver lining latte is absolutely the best. The coffee is pricey. It costs 6.XX and with tip it adds up to 7.XX and change for a small cup. read more

Love Boxwood. The espresso they use makes the lattes and other coffee drinks better than Starbucks. It's just a tastier brew - I have no idea why, but something is different. The seating space and decor are nice with lots of outdoor seating recently added. They have a high staff turnover and an app that can be glitchy, but still the best coffee and tea in town. read more

It's ok, not memorable. Prices are a little steep, I understand paying this much in Manhattan where commercial rent prices are brutal, but not sure what justifies it here in summit? I like that they sell their quality coffee beans and coffee accessories. read more

I'm a pretty hardcore coffee drinker and Boxwood is one of my favorite places. It looks, feels, smells and tastes nothing short of quality. Nitro coffee on tap and oat milk available. If you're not into coffee, you've gotta try the London fog latte! Fave pastries include an array of different flavored French macaroons and the scrumptious lemon bar. I'd love more outlets- it gets crowded in here. read more

Boxwood Coffee - Earl grey macaroon - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Summit, New Jersey

I've been looking for a coffee shop that serves small lot, single origin coffees in Fort Lauderdale and I haven't been able to find one quite like this. When I saw the coffee menu and the barista doing a pour-over, I knew I was in the right place. The interior of the coffee shop is very modern. They have metallic furniture, dark wood floors, and an exposed metal vent on the ceiling. They also have some really nice exposed brick on the walls. The menu is written in chalk above the cash register. So, you know it's liable to change. I wanted to try a pour-over, so I selected the tres santos from Columbia. They say that this coffee has sweet raisin, cocoa, cranberry, apple flavors. I definitely tasted the raisin, cocoa and cranberry, but not so much the apple. It had a nice acidity to it. This coffee did not have an overwhelming body, but it had a relatively full flavor. I really enjoyed it. They also sell whole beans from small farmers in different parts of the world; mostly from Africa and South America. They have harvest dates, as well as roast dates on the bags. I haven't seen both dates on a bag of coffee beans before. They were very recent roast dates to boot! I may try to stop in and get some beans to bring home with me to Florida before I leave. read more

Boxwood Coffee - Hard to tell, but this is the tres santos pour over. It was very good. I did taste some of the flavors that they described. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Summit, New Jersey

This place is so desperate for validation and tries to achieve a cool hipster status. However, not much ch can be said about a coffee shop that is unable to serve you a 'medium' cup of coffee. Highly over priced; I asked the lady to get me a medium cup of pour over and to my amazement she responded that she only knows to make a small cup. Most food has poor serving sizes and is fantastically overpriced. Generally much more expensive than NYC for average quality food. read more

Love the inviting atmosphere and decor! First time I came here, I had the nitro. I'm not the type to drink my coffee black; but I make an exception for a good cold brew. The nitro brew was smooth and bright so I enjoyed every drop. Tonight, I stopped in for a latte after having dinner. Got it with almond milk, and it was smooth and creamy. I wish this drink came in a larger size. Also, the honey-lavender macaron is delicious. I'll be back for the creme brûlée and raspberry macarons, as well as the coffee. read more

Boxwood Coffee - Almond milk latte and a honey lavender macaron. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Summit, New Jersey

After recently transferring to a new location for work I was in a bit of a rut since I couldn't find my new go to coffee spot! I'm glad to announce that I have finally found it! There's nothing like authentic espresso!! My lattes& mochas have been so smooth and creamy! My baked goods specifically the chocolate chip cookie and brownie have been moist and heavenly!! I am looking forward to going back to try out their macaroons and a hot chocolate today !! The price is reasonable considering what your getting !! Don't get me started on the decor is is extraordinary! Is up to date and trendy but also comfortable which is important for my fellow students who are looking for a place to get homework done ! They also have some game night and an open mic night that I hope to enjoy some day soon! Overall I give it a five because their great service great coffee and great food !! read more

I give it four for the decor alone. I mean the place looks straight out of my kitchen pinterest board. Located diagonally across from Starbucks, it's definitely asking for competition. I would definitely choose this place over Starbucks for a long night of comfortable internet browsing or work completion. It doesn't yet have that coffee store smell, like Starbucks. It is definitely a more soothing environment, but that might change once this place truly gets noticed. The owners seems so nice and enthusiastic which is evident in the care that went into its design and decor. Basic coffee offerings, with a special of the day which was kinda cool. Wifi is solid, more than Starbucks. Will definitely be returning. read more

Ordered my tall non fat, three shots of espresso, 1/2 soy 1/2 skim milk, extra whipped cream, little chocolate, 3 pumps of Vanilla, 2 % milk foam served extra hot They nailed my drink. Thank you so much read more
