They make my favourite espresso in the area; they're very consistent, and do a very light, almost fragrant flat white, delicious both hot and iced. However, a full star off because the service here is a total hit or miss. Some of the baristas are exceptionally sweet and helpful! But there are a couple who won't even acknowledge your presence even when you're the only one standing in line, and will be strangely dismissive when they do deign to take your order. Doesn't make for a good start to the morning with such weirdly awkward interactions. Overall atmosphere does feel very millennial hipster coded, as another review noted, but not entirely in a bad way. Feels very much like stepping into an NYC coffee shop where the coffee is legit, with slightly pretentious vibes, but can't necessarily expect consistently friendly service.

Awesome back patio with plenty of seating and shade. But the staff were the best part of the visit. So kind, friendly and oozing cool vibes out of their non existent pores. I fear I will become a regular just based off of the atmosphere alone. Special shout-out to the curly haired queen and baddie with the braids.

I spent several hours at this cafe last Sunday and absolutely loved it. The second floor was particularly quiet, with everyone reading or working on something, creating the perfect ambiance and vibe for focusing. The coffee and beverages were great, the food was okay, and the space was very nice and cozy. It's a great spot to get some work done with a cup of coffee!

Boxcar Social in Summerhill is one of my favorite cafés in our neighborhood. The space is warm, inviting, atmosphere that's perfect whether you're meeting friends, attending a gathering, or spending a few hours working. The upstairs seating area is especially great quiet, and filled with people reading or working, creating the perfect environment to focus. The rustic décor and greenery add to the relaxed vibe. Thanks again for your great service!

If you're looking for a warm and inviting spot with exceptional coffee and service, Boxcar Social - Summerhill is a true gem. We recently hosted a Romance Book Discussion here and our guests had a wonderful experience. Special thanks to Calem and Kay, who made us feel very welcome and at home. They were friendly and attentive, offering quick service. The upstairs area was perfect for our gathering with a cozy and relaxed vibe. The rustic decor, comfy seating and touches of green from the various plants created an ideal atmosphere to come tougher and have a great discussion on all things romance. We can’t recommend it enough and are already looking forward to returning for future gatherings!
