Out of the Box Coffee House - Coffee shop in Wisconsin Rapids - 3820 8th St S, USA

This is a great local coffee spot. It's a really cute shop and a great place to have a lunch date. The food is decent -- it's nothing spectacular or super unique, but it's tasty and well-priced. The coffee is also good. I'd much rather spend my money here, on a local business, than at Starbucks or Dunkin. It does get really busy at peak hours and can sometimes be hard to find a table, so I try to plan early or late lunch dates to avoid the "will we have to wait for a table?" dilemma.

Partner and I wanted to go to a café for our first date and we chose here. So glad we did! Atmosphere is warm and inviting and was beautifully decorated for the holidays. Muffins are HUGE and deliciously moist. My partner enjoyed her Smoked Salmon BLT. It was a great place to just sit and talk, as it wasn't to busy and the other people that were there weren't loud. Someone even offered to take a pic for us. Only complaint was the staff seeming a bit stoic. Hopefully we just caught them on a bad day. Definitely want to come back to try more of the menu. Roof appears to have a seating area and would love to try that in the spring or fall! Came for our second date, as lots of places were closed between Christmas and New Years. My partner had the smoked salmon again and says it was just as tasty as before. The Mac & Cheese was sold out before we got there and breakfast was done, so I had the Butterscotch Scones and they are to die for! Soft with most of the butterscotch chips still in one piece! Had the Eggnog Latté and my partner drank the spiced cider. We tried each other's drinks and both were equally delicious. We were told the Mac & Cheese sells fast, so it's now it's my mission to get there before it's gone!

The setting is so fun! The atmosphere is contemporary and trendy. Nice decor and great outdoor seating. The food was so good! Smoked salmon BLT is a must-have … time and time again! Also the chicken, avocado bacon sandwich was amazing. Prob any sandwich item on the menu would be a tasty treat. Had the peanut butter banana frappe. It was ok. Didn’t seem like a very strong peanut butter flavor. The tropical smoothie tasted more like mango than anything else. Not bad, just wondered if they might have mistakenly given us mango? Went to sit outside bur the table and ground around it and the chairs was full of someone’s muffin or scone crumbs, so we opted for indoor seating. We didn’t tell the staff because it was busy. Even though it was 1:30pm. The indoor seating wasn’t full so people must have just been grabbing and going. We’d definitely visit again. This place is a gem!

Excellent food and drinks. The lunch menu has some items I can't get anywhere else, like a kale salad with unique ingredients like apple, feta cheese, homemade pecan granola and a fabulous maple vinaigrette. All three of our sandwiches were very good. Two were vegetarian which is also hard to find in Wis. Rapids. Staff was efficient and friendly. We hit it during lunch time and it was noisy, not conducive to conversation but a nice experience none the less.

Gotten coffee a few times through the drive through (always a good experience with good service), but stopped in today to grab a sandwich and sit outside. Very inviting and pleasant atmosphere both inside and out! Ordered the hummus chicken wrap and it was perfection. Fresh veggies, wonderful seasonings and the chicken was apot on. It came with a side of chips and I tried thier iced (unsweetened) tea while my daughter ordered a muffin and cookie dough frappe. She said both were delicious. All of the staff were friendly and helpful! We definitely reccomend for a good coffee or lunch!

I LOVE this place. I am from Ohio and I have one of their tshirts and I get asked about it Everytime I wear the shirt! When we visit Wisconsin (especially the rapids area) I make sure we go here every morning lol. The only small complaint I have is we didn't know they served food because there is no food menu when you walk in. But their coffee and service cannot be compared to any other. Absolutely love this place!

What a cute coffee shop & cafe. The coffee is smooth and you can have it straight up or as fancy as you want. There are plenty of non-coffee refreshments available as well. I love the chai. The food is fantastic - I've not had a bad meal yet. Fresh, tasty and great combinations make for a great meal. Don't forget the scones, muffins and other baked goods for there or later. Don't have time to go in? They have a drive-thru but be prepared to wait a little bit because they do make everything to order fresh.

Nov 24 around lunchtime. Lady at register not a friendly. I repeat…not a friendly. I agree with another reviewer- I can pay for more expensive coffee where I will be treated nicely. You have to be kind to your customers- especially at the register and the people giving the coffee out. The looks given from the people making the coffee, are not happy ones, either. You don’t have to be happy to be there, but at least pretend while you’re getting paid. The owner needs to know.
