Shop was really big and clean inside. The staff seemed very nice but a little standoffish. I order a large iced matcha latte with almond milk and it was delicious but it set me back almost $9. There wasn't a lot of ice In cup but I didn't mind as I felt like I actually got my moneys worth on for the matcha. I was also able to taste the matcha which I think sometimes can get lost with matcha lattes so that made me very happy. I didn't get any pastries but they all looked delicious and I'll definitely be returning to try them out soon. Would recommend if you're taking the train in summit especially since it's right outside the shop.

Cute bright spot. I like the tea menu. Good coffee but don't discount the tea! About 12-15 to choose from. I like the jasmine green!

Popped in here to kill some time before going to an event nearby. It's a great little coffee shop. There are a good amount of options in terms of the coffee. Went with a cortado, which was nicely done, and a jasmine iced tea. Service was quick and the prices were fair for the sizes. Not a ton of seating options but we were able to snag the two comfier big chairs in the common area. Some people were there studying, which seems pretty feasible but not sure of the plug situation. Parking on the Sunday we were there was so easy and so free. Not a lot of food options but the area itself has a ton of them. Overall, if you're looking to read a book or just grab a relaxing cup of caffeine, this is a nice spot to do it.

This has been my go-to coffee shop every weekend for the last couple of years. To put it simply, their coffee is fantastic. Specifically, their cold brew which is extremely smooth and strong, and in my opinion you don't even need to put anything in it unless you really want something sweet, although why would you get a cold brew if that's the case lol. Also packs quite a bit of caffeine so you'll be good for the rest of the day. Their pastries are pretty solid as well, although a bit on the pricier side. The cafe itself is on the smaller side but still an ample amount of seating. It's excellent for meeting with a friend, however the tables are rather small so it is less study friendly unless you manage to snag one of the bigger tables by the entrance. Which is admittedly pretty tough to do unless you get here right when it opens or catch a lucky break when someone leaves - I speak from experience. That said, it's overall a pretty solid spot to get work done. Parking in downtown Summit is a pain in general, I usually just park in the lot and walk over. Limit is at 5 hours and you will have to walk back if you want to extend it. There might be parking available by the cafe, but I'm personally less confident on how long you can to stay before getting ticketed/booted, so do so at your own risk.

Great coffee shop in downtown Summit. A lot of seating, which was good considering the large number of people that were there the day we showed up. The coffee itself was excellent but the cappuccinos prepared perfectly. Nice coffee shop vibe inside recommend to any coffee lover.

Cute little café in Summit. Coffee is really good, and the staff is friendly. Came here around 8:30 am on a Saturday for a quick bite and coffee while my car was in the shop. Quiet and cozy- perfect!

With a late afternoon flight out of Newark and nowhere to go until then to work, I decided to visit Boxwood Coffee for some food and a nice workspace at the recommendation of my friend who's a local. This place is incredible, the staff were all super friendly and helpful, the place is very tidy, with a nice quietly atmosphere perfect for working from, plenty of seating and outlets, and some delicious food and drink options. As a non-coffee drinker, sometimes coffee shops can be big flops for me, but they had a very nice tea menu so I decided to try some of their Hibiscus berry tea which was very refreshing, fruity, and floral. Additionally, I was hungry so got one of their beautiful baked goods - a banana chocolate chip muffin. Anyone who knows me, knows this is exactly the type of baked good I love and it checked off all the boxes. Such a delicious way to start my day. I stayed here for the whole morning while I drank, ate, and worked and it seemed that was pretty normal here. The place got pretty busy towards lunch time, but the staff never made me feel unwelcome. Great experience !
