Coffee’s everyone’s favorite drink. Some sip it black from a gas station paper cup. Some enjoy their latte iced. Some roast, grind, and brew locally sourced beans…but there’s no wrong way to have your morning cup.
Still, every coffee shop puts it own spin, its own unique mark, on mankind’s favorite drink. Some favor strength over flavor. Others go for the perfect blend of richness, spice, and kick. Still others compliment each cup with one-of-a-kind steamed milk art.
Whatever your poison, you’ll find it at any – or maybe all – of the great coffee shops below. Read on to learn who’s who in the Delray and Boca coffee game!
1. The Seed
Location: 199 W Palmetto Park Rd, Boca Raton; 561-430-5640; theseedboca.com
Decor: The sleek, minimalist design feels more warehouse than coffee shop, but make no mistake – it works. From the exposed air ducts to the woodgrain counters, The Seed’s where Brooklyn meets Boca.
Coffee: These locally sourced coffee beans are divine. The Seed partners with Wells Coffee Company (based in Boca!) and offers classic drip, cold brew, espresso, lattes, cortados, macchiatos, and cappuccino.
Fan Favorite: Aside from coffee, they offer delicious fresh pressed juice. Their acai bowls are sweet, packed with delicious fresh fruit, and a whole other level of awesome. They’ll satisfy your sweetest tooth while promoting heart health. A win win!

2. Subculture Coffee
Location: 123 E. Atlantic Ave, Delray Beach; 561-808-8482; subculturecoffee.com
Decor: With a hipster, vintage vibe, Subculture’s interior’s the definition of cozy. The small, wooden bar, marble tables, and chalk board menu are just a few of the personal touches that make this coffee shop so wonderful.
Subculture’s hidden gem’s their outdoor space. We’re talking a front patio with cute tables, a red and white striped canopy, and small lights. Want to people watch on Atlantic Ave? This is your new spot. Their back patio’s more secluded from the hustle and bustle of downtown Delray and features rocking wooden love seats.
Coffee: Subculture’s coffee’s roasted daily at both their Delray and West Palm shops. Their Mod Bar set-up makes sure each cup of coffee’s fresh as can be.The coffee itself strong, delicious, and a great way to combat the two o’clock drop.
Fan Favorite: Their coconut latte’s worth every penny. With a subtle coconut taste that matches the rich coffee perfectly, there’s no need for sugar in this delicious drink. On a hot day, we recommend the cold brew. Custom calibrated beans cold-brewed in a Japanese-style Oji machine? We’ll take two!

Coffee: Two words – latte art. The baristas at Saquella are very talented and each latte’s worth an Instagram shoutout.
Fan Favorite: Their daily baked pastries couple perfectly with the delicious coffee. Pastry Chef Lowil Stoller creates decadent tiramisu, cannolis, and espresso cookies. They also offer healthy meals and is great to pair with your cappuccino.
