Customer Reviews

I went there during open business hours, and they were closed. So to be fair I can't give a good review, however that was the only reason I went to that town. I have customers that bring them into my work for the employees, and I was excited to go, and apparently I was disappointed

This isn?t a coffee shop. This is a corner in the supermarket. The coffee comes from a machine. The cashier indicated they were unable to provide non dairy options for their hot coffee because the machine adds the milk. Upon questioning what would happen if they pressed the black coffee button and then add non dairy milk after, the cashier realized that would work. I wouldn?t come here expecting a barista and a good latte. It is a great alternative to gas station coffee though. I wasn?t hungry, but the do

First time visit on Fri June 28, 2024. Woman who served me was very sweet and informative. Had the Dark roast by Caribou Coffee which was really good. The apple fritter was also good. They have some really unique variety of donuts also. Good coffee , great service and some nice baked goods. Will be back when in area

Delicious, soft, fresh donuts! They are so large, you'll want to use a fork and knife!

I just love your donuts so for a coworkers birthday I ordered a dozen donuts. I was able to order the donuts that each person wanted to try. All I can say is that my coworkers loved them. One even said it was the best donut they had in years. Ordering was so easy, since you can just call to order, and everyone was so helpful! Best donuts around!!! We will be back.

Black Box Coffee Bar is seriously so awesome! Aside from working there, I enjoy being a valued customer, although I can?t drink the coffee, there are plenty of other options for me to still be able to buy a drink and support them! My favorite drink is a steamer with vanilla syrup?? and my favorite donut is the old fashioned chocolate cake glazed donut. It is amazing how many people freak over our donuts and coffee, and we truly are a staple in the community for that?? I prefer Black Box Donuts over Dunkin?

Really special donuts, whoever bakes these is really talented. The price was shockingly good too, I got a large iced coffee with a flavor shot and a coffee cake thing (so big I couldn't finish it all at once) and it came to three dollars and change. Absolutely will be stopping here again whenever I'm passing through the area, highly recommend.

I first had the honor of getting coffee and donuts at the Black Box Coffee Bar & Donuttery on a grocery shopping trip. The Coffee Bar is inside Country Harvest. I needed a coffee and a snack. To my surprise this turned out to be the best coffee bar ever. The coffee is so amazing and the donuts are way better then any I ever had anywhere else. And so fresh! So if you live or go to the Palmerton area, this is a must stop for excellent coffee and unbelievable donuts. You will not be disappointed!

I ordered a mocha and although it did not taste bad it essentially came out of a vending machine so the espresso was not fresh, and no whip cream. The donut I ordered was.not bad also, but nothing special. I am not sure why they are rated so high. Maybe compared to Dunkin anything is great here.

Best donuts I've ever eaten, easily. Maybe in the future I'll be presented with better ones but for now these are the best.

The BEST DONUTS in town!!!!!! I love the fact that they are very affordable, and that you pretty much get two donuts in one, and yes they are that big. They also have a great selection of coffee, and many flavors that can be added to it. A++++++++++++ Try it today.........you won't be sorry

I love Caribou coffee so I was ecstatic when Black Box opened inside the Country Harvest and offered their blends. Their coffee is 100% better than Dunkin Donuts and they always have a variety of flavors to choose from (I prefer flavors that are roasted that way, not fake-tasting sugary syrup like the other guys). From hot to iced coffee or Americanos, this is your go to place for your cup of Joe or donuts.

I was interested in a vegan donut but none are labeled that they were made without animal cruelty. Often donuts are made with dairy or eggs so I hope they can make it more clear which donuts are safe for those who respect all Earthlings.

Shop local! This amazing Coffee Bar offers great coffee and specialty drinks that are affordable and delicious! I would recommend them hands down over any other chains! We love our black box coffee and family!

These things are ridiculous. Best donuts around. Boston creme weighs like 2lbs. They have so many great options and choices.

This place has the greatest coffee and better donuts then their competition!

Located inside the Country Harvest to the left. Huge donuts and everything is well priced.

The absolute best donuts on the planet! Hands down beats dunkin by a mile! And everywhere else!

Love this tiny corner of a grocery store! Best donuts in the area! Great for employee appreciation days or a meeting of minds!

Most awesome donuts, we custom ordered our donuts.

Located inside Country Harvest and to the left. Good cup of coffee. It is only a coffee window so if you are looking for a cafe and chill look elsewhere,

A small cafe located inside the Country Harvest with a large (and changing) variety of tasty coffee and donuts. I usually make it a point to stop by here whenever I?m shopping at the Country Harvest.

Great donuts, coffee and tea (and I'm British, so i know my tea ??). Friendly service. Highly recommend.

Super disappointed, strawberry smoothie was just watery and nasty. Got a donut and it was just dry and not good at all.

We made a quick stop here, randomly. I loved it. Great atmosphere and service.

A BB iced coffee is a must when I?m in the neighborhood. Love trying their specialty flavors
