Set in the swanky Alila Marea beach resort, Coffee Box offers the standard espressos and assorted niblets consistent with such establishments. The staff are friendly and reasonably well-trained in the barista craft. While the beans tend to be a bit more fruity than I normally like, they are clearly of good quality.
That said, while the espressos are decent, the location means that you'll be paying a "luxury" surcharge. Expect to shell out 15 to 20% more than what you'd pay for in a normal café. A cortado, for example, will run you $5.00. I suppose that is fine if you are a visitor and don't know any better, but the 101 has a number of similarly competent (and in several cases, better) coffee spots that are more cost-conscious.
Overall, good product and service, but premium prices. I can't fault Coffee Box, but not sure I could recommend it.
