Curator’s note
Mert Soley raced cars before he owned The Cup, an Istanbul coffee shop where he met Altuğ Baser, and the two founded Boxx there in 2015. The Arts District shop is its second anywhere, run by partner Arda Barlas, a mixologist who did not drink coffee before 2017 and now chases a god shot on the espresso bar, landing one about once a week.
The Coffee
The black coffee runs from the house espresso and seasonal single-origin espressos to batch brew, cold brew and a pour-over hand-brewed on the April brewer, with a La Marzocco Strada and Mahlkönig Peak grinders on the bar. Turkish coffee is roasted for the cezve, ground fine and brewed at a 1:9.5 ratio, served black, hot and for here only, and a signature drink rotates every month.

The Vibe
Roasting runs on site in a room seen from behind the bar, at street level in the Aliso, a mixed-use apartment building finished in 2019 with Mumford Brewing next door. The room keeps the Arts District's industrial bones with a light steampunk lean in the lamps, seats and fittings, a bar in gold and cream, and a row of chairs facing the street.
