Boxwood Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in Westfield

It’s like they took a coffee shop from SoHo and put it right in downtown Westfield.

A perfect coffee shop to me has to have just the right blend of great tasting coffee, friendly staff and an inviting and cozy ambience. Boxwood scores high on all 3 of those things!

Whether you want to have a cup of coffee and reconnect with an old friend or sit down and crank out work, Boxwood Coffee is your perfect neighborhood cafe. I could see 2 Entrepreneurs sitting at a table discussing the next big start up. Or all of the local high schoolers sitting at a table after school. Watch out because this place will become the new hot spot!

When you walk in the front door the color scheme and layout are open, inviting and bright. The music is current and relaxing but at the same time invigorating and exciting. (They were playing Anderson Paak when I went in) And it’s played at the right volume. There are other coffee shops in the area where the music is so loud you can’t even think let alone have a conversation or get work done.

Side note - I’d love to see them feature local musicians. It’s a great space for local singer songwriters!

The barista’s behind the counter walked me through some suggestions for my morning coffee and pointed me towards their seasonal lighter roast. They were very well-informed and told me the complete story behind the coffee beans and walked me through a flavor/tasting profile.

I love it when I know the story behind my food and coffee. It makes my experience more exciting and worth sharing with other people.

I highly recommend trying their seasonal spring coffee. It’s light with tastes and notes of cantaloupe and melon...a perfect but not too heavy jump start to your morning.

In summary if you’re looking for one of the best cups of coffee in town combined with “SoHo Sophistication” this is definitely the...

The interior space is nice, especially since it seems like other beverage stores in downtown Westfield are smaller and don't have seating. I am not saying that the employee that I spoke to wasn't cordial, but I felt in general a weird vibe of invisible walls in this coffee shop. Like I wasn't acknowledged until absolutely necessary (when I ordered). I stood in front of the counter for a decent amount of time without any acknowledgement from the 3 employees. I get that they have tasks to do, but I would've appreciated at least a greeting and notification that they would take my order soon. The drinks also take a bit of time before they're ready, which is fine if it's for quality purposes, but again, acknowledgement of a time span would be nice. I stood for a bit, but then went to sit down. If you're not listening for your order, you might miss it, too. Although when I went it was pretty silent because most customers were on their laptops, and there wasn't any music. And when I went up to get the drink, though there wasn't an employee looking at me (but still standing nearby) I said thank you, but didn't receive a reply. Maybe didn't hear. Invisible walls vibe.

The drink itself was a Hibiscus Berry Iced Tea. It was pretty good, not that sweet, good amount of ice, and flavored in a balanced way of both hibiscus and berry. It was a reasonable price, too, for a reasonable amount of an interesting...

Hi! I wanted to share about a wonderful experience I had the Westfield, NJ Boxwood Coffee Roasters store this past Friday afternoon. I was in Westfield for work, and had lunch in downtown Westfield. I had researched good coffee in the area, with Boxwood coming up in my search as a great option. I decided to check out Boxwood after lunch. I walked from my parking lot through downtown Westfield, enjoying the really cute downtown, and came across Boxwood Coffee Roasters. The store is very attractive. I was greeted by a young woman who was super kind, super friendly. I ordered my drink, and asked some questions about the store- learning that they roast their own beans inhouse. The young man who served as the barista was also super friend and super kind. I greatly enjoyed my interactions with both staff! And when I received my hot latte, with oak milk, cinnamon, and “extra love”- yes an ingredient I distinctly ask for 😊, I found the drink to be really delicious. Thank you to the two kind and friendly staff who made my experience at Boxwood Coffee Roaster a really wonderful experience! Looking forward to stopping by again on my next visit...
