Ten years later and this location is still going strong! They've adapted a bit since I last wrote this review but the heart of Coffee Box remains. They've begun solely working out of a forward facing order window and the downstairs has been closed off to accommodate their now offered food menu. The top container is still available to work out of, but it's enough space. I'm here on a Saturday morning and there are only two people here (including myself). They still offer complimentary wifi and there are a few outlets up top which makes it super nice. I'm sipping on an iced horchata oat milk latte and thoroughly enjoying it. read more

*Cool spot * quick service * various menu item The menu was slightly hard to read - it was just pictures of their items on the door without a simple comprehensive list. Ordered - cold brew - iced horchata latte The coffee wasn't too good. It was very watery and not strong at all. The horchata latte didn't seem like it had any coffee in it ... just flavored milk. But the coffee shop itself looked really cool! read more

Right in the heart of historic downtown, CoffeeBox is one of those perfectly random finds that ends up being exactly what you needed. Built from two stacked shipping containers, the bottom level is your cozy order window with all the hipstery charm, and the top level opens up to a chill rooftop-style patio overlooking downtown. It's the kind of place where you can sip a matcha latte (mine was so good), snack on avocado toast or a bagel, and just vibe while the city wakes up. They open early--6:30 a.m.!--and stay open late, serving not just coffee but agua frescas and other fun twists. Great pricing, good energy, and overall just a great post-workout pit stop. read more

This place is a must see for being quirky and different. They created us immediately and provided recommendations based upon what we thought we like. We didn't have to wait long because service was super quick. To top it off the drinks were delicious and affordable. If we had more time while we were in town, I definitely would've wanted to try the food, but we didn't get a chance to. read more

I stopped by The Coffee Box and tried their June specials: the Mango Sticky Rice Matcha and the Shark Bait Sparkling Refresher. Both drinks were delicious and completely different from each other, which made them fun to try side by side. The Shark Bait Refresher reminded me of an Ocean Water and the shark gummy on top was a fun touch. The Mango Sticky Rice Matcha was equally impressive--smooth, high-quality matcha with great mango flavor that wasn't overly sweet. The two ladies who rang me up and made my drinks were incredibly friendly and helpful. They provided great service and made the whole experience even better. The ambiance is very cute and great place to chill and work. I love when seasonal specials are creative and well-executed, and these two drinks definitely delivered. Highly recommend trying them while they're available! read more

Love the concept with the shipping containers. Walk up to the counter outside to order, then head upstairs for both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff was super nice and the coffee came out quick. Will definitely return to try their other iced coffees! read more

I think they forgot to blend in a Mazapan in my Mazapan frappe--it tastes like a watered down coffee slush. $8 for this (medium plus 20% tip) and I'm sad. The young lady at the counter was super sweet, so that's nice (it's El Paso, we're all nice :) Maybe I'll come back. I mean, this is my 3rd Mazapan frappe here and today, when I needed it most (long day and it's not even noon), I was so bummed :-( read more

Cool spot. A converted storage crate into a coffee shop. Seating upstairs. Nice and quiet. Tip: bathroom in the park 5 minutes away Parking was paid street parking or lot. Don't pay for the lot... it's more expensive than the coffee you're going to get read more

While not the greatest little find, it sure hit the spot in the am. We walked over from a nearby hotel for our am fix. The sandwiches were good, as was the coffee. The muffin was nothing special. The upstairs space was small, but not that busy when we stopped by. Overall a decent spot in the area and a much better option over the hotel breakfast. read more

Prices are a bit frustrating as each time I am charged more and more depending on who is working. Wait times in the drive thru are also extreme sometimes. read more

OK first and foremost, if you're confused about parking, don't worry. This shop is located in a pay parking lot, but there's special reserved spots for this shop so if you're just grabbing something to go, technically you don't need to pay anything since the service is quick. I spent a while circling the block for street parking since I didn't realize this. XLarge Mazapan Frappe ($6.25 for 24 fl oz)- Mazapán is a popular Mexican candy made of peanuts and powdered sugar, and is a pretty unique flavor. I got this with almond milk to accentuate the nutty flavor. I thought this was delicious. I'll admit, this is only the second shop where I've gotten this flavor, but I thought that the candy flavor came out well in this drink. You take a sip and the peanut flavor comes through, followed by the coffee flavor after. It works well together. There are some unblended chunks of candy in this, which I thought was fine, but if you want a uniform drink I guess you could ask for it to be double blended. I would get this again! There's also a seating area on the second floor, if you want to gather with friends to enjoy food and drinks together. read more

Super cool coffee shop located in downtown El Paso. You order downstairs at the window and then there is indoor and outdoor seating upstairs to enjoy your purchase. I ordered a hot Jasmine Green Tea and it was as expected. I enjoyed the music playing over the speakers and the ambiance of the upstairs area. This was a great place to read before my flight. I would gladly come back here if I find myself in El Paso again. read more

Cool environment! Mainly went because the menu looked great and the it's a storage container! I loved that you could either choose to grab and go or sit upstairs and relax. Bagel sandwich was good but nothing spectacular. Horchata iced coffee was delish! read more

Love this shop! I visit every time I come to El Paso. Located across the Plaza from the Plaza hotel in cute shipping containers

LOVE this location to study. This place always helped me feel calm and motivated to work. I love all the drinks they have, definitely one of the best coffee shops in EP because they have the perfect mixture of coffee and sweetness. They do have pretty high prices, but it's worth it. read more

Walking around downtown El Paso Texas looking for coffee and found this cute coffee shop. This coffee shop is in old shipping containers. So you walk up to the window place you order pay and wait for them to call out your name for your ready order. The people here are nice and patient and answered our questions. They also take Apple Pay here. The drinks were nice and hot and better price then that other place with a "star" in their name. If in downtown El Paso try this place. Get the coffee to go, walk enjoy your day no place to sit here but it is across the street from a park with several sitting areas. read more

We wanted tot ru this new place to me in downtown and the guy we asked questions about the coffee was very rude and uninformative then when we received our coffee not only was it terrible but I ended up having to buy some chocolate milk down the road to at least be able to drink it.

Great service!! Great coffee! I had the vanilla protein latte with an extra shot of Espresso.

My friends and I are visiting EP and we wanted some coffee this afternoon. My friend ordered an horchata latte, but received a drink with no coffee in it at all...and when we tried to get it fixed, one of the ladies kept trying to tell us that she didn't order a drink with coffee in it (which she had). So she paid AGAIN only for them to give her the wrong drink, AGAIN. We were in a hurry - otherwise I would have stayed to ask for a refund for both drinks. They were very busy and backed up so we were trying to be understanding, and my friend is very patient. But this was not a good experience. I would recommend you find somewhere else to buy coffee read more

Outside ordering and seating so bring a sweater if you plan to come here in the winter months. The Horchata Latte has two shots of espresso and tastes amazing. I'd describe it as a creamier and sweeter version of an horchata, I highly recommend it. I don't think they make the macaroons themselves as they pulled them out of a plastic container, but for $1.75 they are definitely worth it. read more

This is a great little spot. Easy to walk to right off the bus transfer station and Park. The lattes were really good and we were able to sit on the roof top deck to enjoy our drinks. The guys working there were friendly and even offered a little advice when asking for a big breakfast place. (He said L&J Cafe) read more

Horrible. Me and my son ordered a Christmas white chocolate drink, and it was HORRIBLE. It tasted like my son's cherry medicine, and that is horrifying. Don't go here. read more

We found out the top floor was locked after we had bought drinks and snacks. The look of horror on our faces when we found the upstairs space locked and unavailable could not be recreated in this lifetime. We were left with mid tasting drinks and no where to sit down. Truly disappointed in this place and don't know how much longer it can stay in business with fake promises such as this one read more

Stopped here on an early Sunday morning and have been thinking about it since. Placing an order was easy and my iced coffee came out fasts I sat on the small patio upstairs and took in Downtown El Paso. The place is really cool as it seems to be made out of an old shipping container which gave it great vibes as they repurposed something and brought it back to life! read more

This café is uniquely cool with a distinct vibe--almost tubular, dude (but rectangular)! Unfortunately, customers have to pay for parking. read more

I needed to feed my hungry 20-yr old daughter early in the morning on past Sunday (Jan 3, 2021) while we were browsing the streets in this far west city in TX. I used to live in TX (Dallas) back in mid to late 90's but I had never had a chance to visit El Paso so the last Sunday was the very opportunity for me to visit it at last!! I really enjoyed seeing the quiet downtown El Paso where we located this intriguing looking coffee shop only a few hundred yards from our parked car. Perfect place I thought. We didn't need any coffee; just a little bite to eat. My daughter picked an onion bagel with cream cheese. She ended up getting an everything bagel instead; oh well, it's a little mistake so we weren't that mad. She wished though that the cream cheese had a larger portion as it was barely enough to cover both sides of the bagel. But overall , this was an decent experience. Like I stated earlier the coffee shop's building is very unique and intriguing. I was compelled to take a picture of it which I will upload along with this review. We received decent service too! I heard that this city is struggling a bit. I really hope that the businesses in general in El Paso get through this crazy times we are living. We hope to visit this lonely city in the near future. read more

El Paso is my favorite large city in Texas. Yes, downtown is visibly struggling but the walkable and compact streets are a lush architectural joy. Coffee Box sits right in the middle of it all. This brightly colored shipping container assemblage with a vibrant image of Frida Kahlo on one side is the perfect morning stop before wandering around. [Please be a hero: wear a face mask and practice social distancing when you're here. Protect yourself and those serving you.] read more

The building itself is cute. I am not impressed by the service. And I feel like the products are over priced for what they are physically given. read more

Got a blue raspberry drink. Couldn't even drink 1/4th of it. Taste like they dumped sour patch kids and the sour powder in it. So gross. How disappointing especially after walking in the sun and wanting a refreshing drink read more

What happened to you coffee box!? I was in El Paso years ago when they opened and love the idea of a repurpose shipping container thingie turned into a coffee shop. The inside was cute and what I got then was good, but then fast forward to October 2021... excitement of going back quickly turned into pure disappointment. The menu looked sooooo good...taro oatmilk latte...pistachio latte...I mean yummmm! I ordered the pistachio decaf latte and my husband got a Blueberry muffin. The pistachio latte was purely bad...I felt like something was missing but no taste or hint of pistachio. Blueberry muffin was like eating pure sugar. I couldn't eat it and my 14 month old who eats everything even spit it out. I guess we should have seen it coming when other people ahead of us were complaining about their drinks. Even one guy came back to tell them how bad It was and that they will end up closing if they don't get it together. For this visit really should have been 1 star but gave a 2 because my very first experience was good. It was a sad, sad morning. read more

Great coffee and a fun place to enjoy it! Ordering at the window took a few minutes but our coffee was ready quickly. The coffee was great! And the service was friendly. The best part is the fun design of the indoor/outdoor patio upstairs. Great place to enjoy the morning. Would have loved more food options and possibly another window for pick up. read more

The patio upstairs is so lovely! The horchata latte was delicious. All of the staff was helpful and knowledgeable.

- Tried their Mazapan Large iced latte And pistachio large latte warm. - Their mazapan drink had good flavor however towards the end very chalky consistency. Order is delivered in a timely manner. - Their pistachio latte had decent taste but the flavor did feel artificial. - Overall, liked the set up and would like to try their desserts as well. read more
