From our beloved regulars
First time here. My daughter and I absolutely loved it. It was nice, and just a hidden gem
I’m one of those guys that needs his “hug-n-mug” in the morning. Also one of those guys that love & care for plants. This place is a win win. I haven’t been back to any other coffee house since we’ve found each other. Looking to be a long term client.
Quickly became my favorite spot! The cold brew is wonderful.
Tried a seasonal drink and cookie from this cute local coffee shop and it totally did not disappoint. Employees were super friendly!
Very sweet ladies! Love them all! This is my go-to lunch spot during my break. Small, charming, and cute spot to relax and unwind.
I visited the York location yesterday around noon. I decided to dine in to enjoy my food/drinks while studying with the free WiFi offered at Plant Box Co. Walking in, I was amazed with the decorations, aesthetic, and overall nice vibes offered here. I stayed for about 2-3 hours and was not rushed by staff at all! During my visit, I ordered a dirty soda and a Monstera Monte Cristo breakfast sandwich. Both were a 10/10, you won’t find anywhere else as great as the food, drinks, and vibes are here! My only complaint would be the amount of space. Though this is a small location, they maximized the seating and made sure not to overcrowd the place! I loved this place so much that I decided to stop by the Manchester location today to grab a chocolate covered strawberry cold brew to-go. This location was equally as good and I was pleasantly surprised to be remembered by the owner from my previous visit. This will definitely be my go to spot!
I highly recommend checking out Plant Box Co.! To start, they have an amazing selection of different foods and drinks! I tried the Sweet and Spicy Syngonium and a Dirty Dr. Pepper and let me tell you: I’M OBSESSED! My sandwich had a thick layer of meats and cheese and didn’t skimp out on the toppings (that chili sauce is WOW)! The Dirty Dr. Pepper was delicious, I’ve never tried a soda made this way before but now I definitely understand the hype and will be getting it regularly! The store aspect of the shop is one thing that particularly got me interested in checking this place out and it did not disappoint! I am a huge plant enthusiast and I was so happy to see a wide variety of plant species and they were all well taken care of! They also had a great area highlighting products from local small businesses, which is perfect if you’re looking for a nice holiday gift for someone, or just to treat yourself! The staff was so nice and welcoming and the owner was very friendly to talk to as well! I am so glad that York has such a wonderful business in the downtown area and I look forward to making this my regular coffee shop!
Both shops are fantastic! Also, Sips catered my wife’s surprise birthday party with a grazing table and their beverage cart. Awesome experience from beginning to end. I let Brina in on my surprise planning and she was extremely personable and invested from the jump and helped make this event special!
Visited this morning with a friend and had the best experience!! Emily was the sweetest thing and we asked her to surprise us with our drinks so she made the best cinnamon roll shaken espresso and blueberry matcha!! We also got dirty sodas, which were to die for. For food we tried the banana toast and french toast bagel, both which were plated so perfectly and tastes AMAZING. The atmosphere of this cafe is so perfect and the service was amazing. Thank you Emily, cannot recommend enough!!
The new Plant Box Co. is the perfect quaint downtown version of their OG store. The sandwich was as good (or maybe even better) as the Manchester location. And the dirty soda!? Perfection. I have never had anything like it and was so glad I branched out to something new. The staff was so excited to be there and their passion for the store showed. I can’t wait to go back every time I visit the downtown area.
