At Whitebox Roastery, coffee isn’t just a drink, it’s a way of life. Our story began 8 years ago when my team and I, all self-proclaimed coffee fanatics, discovered our passion for coffee while traveling the world. From the bustling streets of Italy to the quaint towns of Romania, we made it our mission to sample the best coffee shops each place had to offer.
With each cup, our love for coffee grew, and we knew we had to bring our passion back home with us. That’s when the idea for Whitebox Roastery was born.
At our coffee shop in McKinney, we take pride in making it an experience. Every sip is a journey to a different part of the world, where you can taste the authenticity of cultures from Ethiopia to Columbia, Gautemala to Kenya.

Found this gem through a Facebook event for pumpkin painting. Had so much fun and it included any drink and pastry. I hope they continue doing events!!
Ordered the Smoked sea salt maple latte with an extra shot. Didn’t really taste the smoked sea salt, but it was still good!
Now let me tell you about their Guinness ganache croissant from the pastry gods. The brownie bites are my favorite part – fudgy, you can’t get enough. The Guinness ganache is my other favorite part. The actual croissant is on the drier side and not buttery, but you need that so it doesn’t get soggy and holds all the deliciousness together. I cannot wait to go eat more.
The people here are super sweet and everything about this place is just beautiful. BEAUTIFUL. You need to go.
Plenty of parking and seating.

$9.46 for a matcha is highway robbery in my opinion. I’ll spend over $7 at Summer Moon because their matcha is worth it. This wasn’t. It didn’t taste terrible, but I wouldn’t willingly spend more than $4-$5 on this since I can make a better matcha myself at home.
I will say service was excellent and the staff members were great at answering the questions I did have. The atmosphere was nice so if you’re going to meet a friend, it’s a relaxed, not overly loud, environment. I also saw several mothers with their babies and toddlers enjoying chatting while their children played in the small children’s area they have.
It’s a nice place, but I won’t be back. It’s a bit overpriced for what you get.

Originally came because the location. It is so neat to get your coffee and then go sit in comfy antique chairs or by a waterfall!
Then come to find out, it is the best flavor coffee I have ever had! If I am going to get coffee, this is the place. They also have a wide variety of pastries along with a few breakfast food options.
I have introduced all my local people, and I recommend it to anyone considering!!

Love this place! The coffee roasts are so good and strong. I had the iced white apricot latte, and it was so good ( never had that flavor combo), they had good seasonal ones listed that I will try too. Blueberry lemon loaf that is gluten free was actually legit and didn’t taste like it was GF. Super cute atmosphere to meet up with people and a cute kiddos corner. They roast their own beans. New place for my coffee rotation.

Got the pistachio rose latte. A bit on the pricer side but pretty good. They offer to heat up pastries but their oven supposedly burns the food (which I didn’t find out till afterwards). Apparently they are getting a new oven tho so maybe it won’t be an issue in the near future. Cute cafe atmosphere. Will check it out again.

I have been coming to White Box Roastery for several years now, and all I can say is they hit it out of the park every time. For the serious coffee lovers, none of their beans are ever burned (if you know you know) and serve as an EXCELLENT base for either a classic latte or any of their flavor add ons. In addition, the monthly flavor releases are something that’s practically a calendar event in my home. The flavors they come up with are nothing short of creative and they really take seasonal flavors very seriously if you’re into that! While the coffee is excellent, I have got to shine a light on their matcha- which is my most consistent go-to. They are the only ones within a hundred miles (in my opinion) who actually makes it correctly and not pumped full of sugar or a pre-made packet. If you want matcha made with just the traditional green tea powder and prepared with the staple bamboo whisk- White Box gets it, and gets it right every time. I’ve brought tons of friends and family here over the years and will continue to happily work in their awesome atmosphere with the perfect drink. If you haven’t been, GO!

Ham & cheese croissant was good. The cappuccino was not very good. It tasted ok but there was practically no foam and on top of that I order a medium and they skimped out on the top quarter of the whole cup. That’s ridiculous. Only reason I’m giving 3 stars is because the food was good and the atmosphere was nice and the staff was friendly. But shorting a cup this much and not putting almost any foam on a cappuccino are big negatives for me.

Okay, I LOVE this place.
I’ve been coming here for over a year now and it never fails to amaze me. They’re nice, quick, and clean.
Their coffees are delicious but my favorite is the blueberry matcha. All their matcha is delicious. I love the atmosphere, I love their pastries that arent insanely sweet. My husband loved their mocha. I 100% recommend this cafe for anyone and everyone. I absolutely adore the little section in the back for toddlers too!

This place was delicious! It’s hard to find a delicious coffee shop that cares what their coffee tastes like. Cute, comfy vibes. Definitely busy on a Sunday. I had a coconut caramel iced latte with almond milk and was extremely happy. The iced s’more was even better, however I got it to go so there was no marshmallow.

Really pretty cafe. Unique matcha flavors, got the raspberry & cream matcha. Raspberry taste isn’t super prominent, but matcha doesn’t have a “grass” taste and the drink was still great.
