"In addition to offering its classic coffee drinks, breakfast burritos sourced from Evie’s Tamales, and ample people-watching opportunities from the second-story seating area, SPKRBOX has evolved to include boozy drinks. Customers can select from a variety of creative espresso drinks, like the Green Fairy Latte with pistachio and white chocolate. Or, try a cocktail, such as the Nervous Negroni with Beefeater Gin, Carpano Antica, Campari, and coffee syrup. The place and menu are perfect for afternoon chill sessions or for when you catch a late-night second wind. A bonus, the basement has been fashioned into the Orange Room — a futuristic-looking underground lounge with soundproofing for crystal clear sound quality." - Serena Maria Daniels

"Spkr Box is the fairly recent new iteration for Urban Bean Co. and includes a tiny second-level bar, upgrades to the DJ booth, a powerful sound system, a liquor license, and snacks sourced by local purveyors. One key highlight, the basement’s Orange Room, a futuristic looking underground lounge with soundproofing that produces crystal clear sound quality. Expect classic cocktails, beers, and of course, boozy coffee creations." - Serena Maria Daniels
"This longtime downtown cafe previously known as Urban Bean Coffee underwent a dramatic makeover just over a year ago, including rebranding to SPKRBOX, an homage to the ownership’s ties to the city’s techno scene. In addition to offering its classic coffee drinks, breakfast burritos sourced from Evie’s Tamales, and ample people-watching opportunities from the second-story seating area, SPKRBOX has evolved to include boozy drinks. Customers can select coffee cocktails like a Francois K made with espresso, cognac, rye, sweet vermouth, and bitters or a Nervous Negroni with gin, sweet vermouth, Campari, and a coffee reduction — perfect for afternoon chill sessions or to help catch that late-night second wind. A bonus, the basement has been fashioned into the Orange Room — a futuristic looking underground lounge with soundproofing for crystal clear sound quality." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Spkr Box, a cafe and bar that flung open its doors in 2022, becoming the latest iteration for the space owned and operated by Josh Greenwood. During the pandemic, the space underwent an extensive facelift, including upgrades to the spot’s window panes, a tiny second-level bar, upgrades to the DJ booth, a new sound system, a liquor license, and food sourced by Village Hand Pies and thick breakfast burritos sourced from the iconic Evie’s Tamales in Mexicantown. One key highlight, the basement’s Orange Room, a futuristic looking underground lounge with soundproofing that produces crystal clear sound quality. Expect classic cocktails, beers, and of course, boozy coffee creations." - Serena Maria Daniels
