About Us

The Cafe Mission

We’re the Harmes-Russell family (Matt, Elizabeth, and Remy) and we own and operate The Blackbox Cafe. Our roots are in public service and community-focused relationships. We strive to create a community-based environment of inclusivity. We designed our cafe to be allergy friendly and sensory friendly. We are a dedicated gluten and peanut free facility with food on the menu for just about everyone.

We hope you enjoy our cafe!

Our Kitchen

We've recreated classic recipes with farm-fresh ingredients that highlight local flavors. Our homemade baked goods and in house recipes have something on the menu for everyone.

Our kitchen is gluten, peanut, fish, wheat, and shellfish-free with many options for different metabolic needs. We strive to bring people together with our food.

Crafted Coffee

Our coffee is roasted locally by Humble Bee Roastery in Colorado Springs, CO. We serve white espresso and lighter roast coffees that offer a uniqueness to our cafe. Our baristas craft coffee drinks that compliment our espresso taste notes and fit every lifestyle need from low-glycemic index to keto and paleo-based.

Our loose leaf teas are from The Queen's TEApothecary in Colorado Springs, CO. Our Matcha and Tumeric lattes are from Man Eating Tiger while our chai tea is from Santuary Chain in Boulder, CO. We offer matte lattes from Bombi Matte and bone broth from Bare Bones.

Our lemonade and juices are made in-house and served fresh. Our smoothie are fruit based and our frappes are made from real cream.

Come try something different.
