What Russell S doesn't like about Blue Box Cafe:
Table was extremely sticky. After our coffee we went for a short walk and came back cause my friend had to use the restroom before we had to leave and was given attitude saying it was only for customers. They were friendly when we first walked in. (Not bad or good but for those that care they were more strict with mask and REQUIRES them to order anything) View all feedback. What Dawn Renee likes about Blue Box Cafe:
If you haven’t been to Blue Box you’re missing out! Everything there is fabulous from the unique coffee drinks to snacks to the sandwiches! You won’t be disappointed. And the staff is friendly owners are good peeps! View all feedback.

A must stop for all Dr. Who fans. Tons of Dr. Who memorabilia and themed drinks/menu items. Be sure to checkout the back entrance.
