Boxcar Social
Boxcar Social is a multi-location cafe & bar with an uncompromising dedication to quality. And we enjoy every minute of it.
The concept behind Boxcar Social was simple: Do what we love, do it with our friends, and do it really well. Offering a curated, rotating list of coffees from the best roasters in North America, a careful selection of some of the world’s top new-world wines, and interesting craft beers, scotches and bourbons - we strive to create the most unique tasting experience for our customers.
