Reviews for Blue Box Cafe in Elgin, IL
Yummy place. The coffee's are so good, I just wish you opened earlier. Lavender Coffee is the best. The sandwiches and the... salads are good. The tortilla soup is amazing. Soups are just amazing here. Definitely try the Gobbler during Thanksgiving. Theymake really good grilled cheeses and you pick what cheeses you wanna mix up. Except make sure they remember the bacon. I thinktwice they forgot it. BUT it was still good. I am not a fan of Dr.Who btw, I think that's what this is based off? I just lovethe place, very hip and cool. Good food and nice staff. The blue door is super cool. Read more
Snazzy coffee shop. When I went there in the afternoon it was pretty empty thankfully but all they had for their bakery options... was chocolate chip cookies. Espresso is nice and so is the cookie for under $6. Staff was polite Read more
Still devastated at the loss of the original owners but whoever is keeping it going is doing an amazing job. The food is always... delicious and the baristas always do a fantastic job and offer great suggestions to make your drink tastier if you want. Read more
It is so epic to have a Doctor Who themed coffee shop locally! Blue Box Cafe is super welcoming and the staff is brilliantly... fun. The espresso is very delicious. I got the jammy dogger latte and it remains my favorite to this day. Read more

Bottom-line: Cheeky and sweet themed coffee shop with an enormous selection of delicious drinks and savory food. Worth a stop in... for anyone, but will be a special treat for Doctor Who fans. First time in this charming café. Stopped in for breakfast anddrinks, and ended up getting lunch options because that part of the menu was seen first and everything looked absolutelyfantastic. For drinks, we got a few of their coffee specialties and was offered a new drink they are working on. The new drinkwas a coffee with Strawberry, Vanilla, and White Chocolate, and the specialties we ordered were the 'Jack Harkness' and the'River Song'. These drinks are named after Doctor Who characters, for those unfamiliar. The 'Jack Harkness' is a seductive blendof coffee, Dark Chocolate, and Cherries that is sure to envelop you in a strange love. The 'River Song' is the most uniquecoffee blend I have ever tried, and gives you a spicy warmth from our its surprisingly great blend of Ginger and Curry. Yes, Iknow what many of you are thinking, but this is a fantastic drink for cold days. For food, we got a chicken bacon pesto wrap, achicken caprese sandwich, and a rueben. The wrap was crisp and delicious, the chicken caprese had fresh mozzarella and giantslices of roma tomatoes with a delectable balsamic glaze, and the rueben swaps out the traditional sauerkraut for a sweetcoleslaw in a twist that combines the standards of a California Rueben with the Traditional Cornbeef Rueben. All of it wasgreat. The staff was friendly, open, and knowledgeable about the menu. Great experience. Read more
