The Box Coffee Bar

We came in here due to the independent bookstore we came to visit closed for the weekend to give their employees a weekend off.It's a cute place, small with a few tables outside and a bit of room inside but there were 3 people inside who seemed to be friends with the teen working taking up the room and making the space tight and kind of uncomfortable.Shana got an espresso with a fun flavor syrup which the worker picked caramel. Employee was helpful and knowledgeable. They are small but have a full coffee bar and ability to make pretty much everything a Starbucks would have. She was super nice and though Shana asked an unusual question about local cemeteries she took it in stride even with the guys watching. Bonus points.A downside is the hours. Like many places it showed that according to its signs and hours posted it was closed but we tried the door due to other experiences and found it open. You couldn't really see inside so we took a chance. Others may not or see the sign and keep walking or leave. A bit frustrating.Shana started out just asking general coffee questions then went more specific and the employee keep up and even politely and low key upsold without being pushy. Well done.But the pluses outweigh the negative and if you're in the area hit them up. Don't forget to tip!

Not sure if they are still opened. Showed up at 3:00 on Tuesday and it was closed. I had to get a coffee down the street.

Decent coffee in a cute little kiosk-type structure. I'd rate their coffee a 7 out 10 (I am an admitted coffee-snob, so I am hard on the ratings, to be fair).Service was very good and with a smile, which is always appreciated. Parking is very easy in the adjacent lot and walk right up and in.The coffee at their other location (on Laurent St) is a little better, but service & friendliness at this location is significantly better (Laurent staff leaves a lot to be desired...)!

Yes! I have to say this is a great coffee shop to go to. I wasn't sure at first what to expect. But, I am very pleased with the taste of it and the super awsome customer service there. I got a Dark Chocolate Almond Mocha... Don't quote me on the name, but it's super fabulously cramazing good. ;-) I am coming back here again! Kim (manager) was super nice and explained the history of the place and what plans are soon to come. How exciting! There a aren't alot of yelp reviews other than the one before me. So, I was only able to go by the recommendation of that one person. I am very glad I did. This is an old old old walk-in ATM machine. Who cares what bank it was, but it's now an old new walk-in coffee shop. I only wish there was a picture of the old ATM machine while it was in working progress in black and white. I would say there is some history there. I was VERY PLEASED as a customer. VERY! Downtown Victoria Texas. Coming from Beeville, this is the BIG city - woohoo! ;-) lolYes, I would say this is a must see and try if you are downtown this big city... Try it! Have a great day. :-)

Honestly my favorite coffee shop. Love the main location but the Laurent place is much more roomy and great for studying/ meeting with friends! 10/10 recommend.

Excellent locally-owned coffee spot! It's a small coffee bar set inside what was on old ATM walk-in kiosk. Very unique and great coffees. It's owned by the same folks who own and operate Victoria Coffee Roasters, so a lot of the time they have special blends available. I highly recommend!

The owner sure does a great job in hiring workers because every single person I've come across in this location (and the other location) have always be so friendly and courteous

Was told the mocha frappe was the best here, so I had to try it. My first sip told me it was too coffee-ish but as I drank more, I loved the mixture of chocolate and coffee it had! Final verdict is that it WAS the best mocha frappe I've ever had!! Definitely going back, probably today!

If I'm lucky with time, I go here every day. Kari and all the baristas make a great "traditional" macchiato, or a cappuccino, or whatever you like, coffee or tea-wise. They are also very fine people, good to talk with. The pastries vary from time to time and are fine. You feel well cared for here, and the coffee is terrific! How they ever managed to carve this place out of an old ATM mystifies me. It's like the TARDIS on Dr. Who, more going on inside than one could ever imagine. Try it and you'll like it! I also like their new location at Airline & Laurent.

We walked out. The barista would not think outside the box, ironically. They say they have child sized drinks, but not really. When we suggested just blending some ice and almond milk she didn't know how to do that. If she can't blend ice and milk, I'm not trusting her with espresso.
