During the pandemic and peak everything-must-be-ordered-online, I realized I love getting mail. But not just any mail. Letters, psh. Those are for bills, adverts, and newspapers I never once subscribed to but still receive. What I’m talking about are packages.
There’s a specific joy in receiving a brown box with your name on it that’s delivered right to your door. For me, from me? Excellent!
Arguably, what’s even better are recurring subscription boxes, which promise new delights on a regular basis—be it biweekly, monthly, tri-monthly, or quarterly.
However, the amount of subscriptions available out there is arguably nauseating.
If only there was someone (multiple someones?) who loved receiving packages enough that they were willing to test subscription boxes, to tell you which ones were actually worthwhile.
You know where this is heading, so I’ll hop to it: My team and I spent the last two months reviewing 42 food subscription boxes. We took notes on what the ordering, site, and delivery experience was like and the quality of the products we received.
It’s worth noting that we tested these in peak summer and fall. Some perishables arrived with their ice packs totally melted—their goodness gone and funkiness wafting through the cardboard. We’re aware that our experience with these products might’ve been totally different in another season—however, it also speaks volumes for companies that put a lot of care (and dry ice!) into shipping.

What We Learned
When It Came to Ice, More Was More
Serious Eats / Riddley Gemperlein-Schirm
If something was meant to come frozen or even just thoroughly chilled, it was truly mind-boggling when it arrived with one packet of dry ice.
For example, for weeks in a row, my Daily Harvest subscription arrived with a sole, flabby plastic baggy of no-longer-there dry ice, and our smoothies and flatbreads were entirely thawed. Granted, their customer service was responsive over text and issued me refunds and site credit, but that didn’t stop my frustration when I repeatedly threw out entire boxes of food (yes, this is what Daily Harvest’s customer service instructed me to do).
Conversely, the Vermont Wagyu came loaded with so much dry ice that I filled half of my sink with it. The meat was frozen solid even after being shipped in 90-degree heat. The two bottles of NY Shuk sauces it came with were separately wrapped and placed on top of the dry ice. So, they were frosty, but not frozen.
Consider the Frequency Some subscriptions (especially if they were pricier) had a set frequency (i.e. quarterly). Others allow you to toggle between every month, three months, or six months. And even more—particularly if they were ingredient-focused, like coffee—had selections for weekly and biweekly shipments. How often you want a subscription is up to you. But no matter what, we looked for subscriptions that allowed you to easily choose and select your delivery schedule, with an intuitive website design. Printouts, QR Codes, and More Some subscriptions need no further explanation, but others didn’t include any printouts. Some, however, had entire booklets, detailing each item in the box. Others came with QR codes, which you scanned to take you to a website with information on the items. What we didn’t like? When there were no instructions or printouts included so you had to navigate to the brand’s website and try to piece together how to use everything yourself. Subscription boxes are often pricey, so we were looking to have fun, and not be befuddled. The Criteria: What to Look for in a Subscription Box The best subscription boxes should be packaged with care: They shouldn’t arrive broken or otherwise damaged because of a lack of padding. If the item is chilled or frozen, it should come to your doorstep that way, too. The subscription site’s website should be easy to navigate and allow you to intuitively toggle between delivery frequencies, if applicable. We also enjoyed reading and interacting with some sort of printout or interface that told us more about the box and items. The Best Cheese Subscription Boxes The Best Cheese Subscription Murray’s Cheese Cheese Explorer’s Club PHOTO: Murray’s View on Murrayscheese.com What we liked: Murray’s offers a variety of subscription options (including a mac and cheese of the month club). We got the Cheesemonger’s Picks option, which came with three to four cheeses and is available via 3-, 6-, or 12-month subscriptions. The cheese arrived in pristine condition (that’s saying a lot given the heat), with each one wrapped in Murray’s emblazoned paper. “When I say the 2 Sisters Isabella Gouda was one of the best cheeses I’ve ever had, that’s saying a lot (I eat a lot of cheese, okay?),” commerce editor Grace Kelly says. “It was nutty and caramelized, with little crystalline bits and a surprisingly creamy texture.” What we didn’t like: We wish there was the option for a single month’s subscription. The price breaks down to $17 to $22.77 per cheese, which is moderate for Murray’s prices, but still pricey for the general cheese fan. Key Specs Box includes: 3 to 4 cheese Frequency: Once a month Good to know: There are five cheese clubs to choose from, ranging from $56.Serious Eats / Grace Kelly
The Best Cheese Subscription for Date Nights
Curdbox Cheese Subscription Box
PHOTO: Curdbox
View on Curdbox.com
What we liked:
Instead of buying the ingredients for a date night cheeseboard, you could subscribe to Curdbox. “This subscription service provides a cheeseboard setup that includes three kinds of cheese, three food pairings, and fun extras, like a Spotify playlist to listen to as you munch (cute!),” Grace says.
What we didn’t like:
Shipping isn’t included and while we like the curated selection, $50 can get you a nice dinner out, too.
Key Specs
Box includes: 3 artisan cheeses (~.
Frequency: Once a month
Good to know: You pay monthly or in 3-month subscription installments; you can also buy a 3-month gift subscription for $143
Serious Eats / Grace Kelly
The Best Subscription Box for Groceries
The Best Subscription Box for General Groceries
Thrive Market One Year Membership
PHOTO: Thrive Market
$60 at Thrive Market
What we liked:
Thrive Market costs $60 a year and, with it, you get access to a pleasantly dizzying array of groceries. Depending on where you live (like me in Western Massachusetts), Thrive might well be the easiest way to buy your favorite, more niche goods—like Tache pistachio milk and Canyon Coffee.
What we didn’t like:
I could see, especially for families, wanting recurring subscriptions for snacks, household staples, and the like to auto-deliver more regularly. It would be nice if there was a two-week option.
Key Specs
Box includes: It depends!
Frequency: Whenever you want, or every 4, 8, or 12 weeks for recurring subscriptions

The Best Meat, Fish & Seafood Subscription Boxes
The Best Meat Subscription
ButcherBox Subscription
PHOTO: Butcher Box
View on Butcherbox.com
What we liked:
With ButcherBox, you can choose between a beef and chicken box, beef and pork, mixed box, or custom box—containing nine to 14 pounds of meat, depending on which you select. You can also choose the delivery frequency, which is great because it really is a ton of meat.
Grace shares her experience with a meat subscription box that arrives frozen, ensuring quality and taste. The box includes a variety of meats such as Italian sausages, Australian beef, burgers, pork chops, chicken thighs, and chicken tenders. She mentions that one box lasts over a month, with plenty of steaks, burgers, and sausages remaining in the freezer. The only downside is the need for a chest freezer to store all the items.
Key Specs:- Box includes: 9 to 14 pounds of meat
- Frequency: Every month (or less, depending on selection)
- Shipping is free and can be canceled at any time
- Box includes: 3 to 4 cuts of meat, ground meat/sausage, and guest products like sauces, coffee, or maple syrup
- Frequency: Quarterly
- New subscribers must subscribe one week in advance of the next shipment date
- Box includes: 2x 5-7-ounce salmon fillets; 2x 5-7-ounce halibut portions; 2x 7-9-ounce Wild Ahi tuna Steaks; 1 pound scallops
- Frequency: Every 1, 2, 4, or 8 weeks
- Option to build your own subscription box or shop from curated bundles
What we liked: A family-owned business located in Duxbury, Massachusetts, Real Oyster Cult sources some of the freshest bivalves around. The price ranges from $49 to $128 and scales up depending on the amount of oysters you want (20 to 70). There’s a three-month subscription minimum, but you get freebies in your first, 2nd, and 3rd boxes (like a branded shucking glove, oyster knife, and discounts on their caviar). The oysters arrived ice cold and in separate mesh bags. I also found their Mignon-Nips to be wonderful accompaniments. Plus, if you live in New England, shipping is free.
What we didn’t like: Nothin’—these are some great oysters. Key Specs Box includes: 20 to 70 oysters (1 to 3 types) Frequency: Once a month Good to know: Real Oyster Cult’s caviar is also exceptional Another Incredible Fish Subscription Box – Wulf’s Fishmonger Favorites Box PHOTO: Wulf’s View on Wulfsfish.com What we liked: A Boston-based company, Wulf’s sells some of the best seafood I’ve tried. The Fishmonger’s Favorites Box gives you a whole lot for its price: sustainably farmed Norwegian salmon, Arctic char, cod, haddock, grey sole, and two pounds of peeled, deveined Mexican Blue Shrimp. The fish fillets all come vacuum-sealed and everything arrived frozen solid. The company also offers a pricier, large box (called their Greatest Hits). What we didn’t like: Nothing—this is a great subscription. Key Specs Box includes: 16 ounces salmon, 16 ounces Artic char, 16 ounces cod, 16 ounces haddock, 16 ounces grey sole, 32 ounces shrimp Frequency: Once a month Good to know: You can buy the box once to try it or set up a recurring subscription The Best Soup Dumpling Subscription – Mila Pork Soup Dumplings PHOTO: Mila View on Eatmila.com What we liked: These small soup dumplings are so delicious and take just 10 minutes to steam. I loved that each bag included perforated paper liners for a bamboo steamer. For me, the black vinegar was the perfect way to enjoy the pork soup dumplings. You can choose to have two-plus bags of dumplings (plus one to three of the company’s sauces) delivered monthly or every two months. What we didn’t like: It would be nice if there was an option to get just one bag of soup dumplings delivered every month, for solo diners. Key Specs Box includes: 2+ bags of soup dumplings, 1+ jar of sauce Frequency: Once a month (or every other month) Good to know: You can buy the soup dumplings without setting up a recurring subscription The Best Pork Subscription Box – Campo Grande Iberico Box PHOTO: Campo Grande View on Eatcampogrande.com What we liked: “The pieces of pork were frozen solid and clearly labeled,” Grace says. “Speaking of pork, what a variety! They sent a ‘Secreto’ cut, which is a piece of pork commonly found in Spain; a heavily marbled slab of pork belly; a rack of ribs; a boneless roast; and a pack of thinly sliced chorizo clasico. The pork chops were marbled and flavorful, unlike the sawdust-textured pork chops of my childhood.The Best Charcuterie Subscription
Platterful Charcuterie Kit PHOTO: Platterful View on Platterful.com What we liked: This box came with step-by-step instructions on how to build a beautiful charcuterie board—and build it we did. “The kit came with three cheeses (a bold semi-hard cheese, a savory hard cheese, and a mellow soft cheese), sliced salami, sliced chub salami, crackers, jam, mustard, honey jar and dipper, chocolate bar, olives, and nuts,” Grace says. “It’s quite the complete board! It has decent variety too, with a goat cheese, cheddar/gruyere amalgam, and balsamic Bellavitano cheese.” The company even has vegan and gluten-free offerings. You can prepay for longer subscriptions (a nice gift!), do a month-to-month subscription, or order a one-time board. What we didn’t like: “I do wish there were more unique cheese offerings, since these seemed like the kind you could get at the grocery store,” Grace says. Key Specs Box includes (for the large board): 3 cheeses, 2 meats, 1-2 crackers, 2-3 spreads, 3+ accompaniments (like nuts or olives) Frequency: Once a month Good to know: Shipping isn’t free The Best Ibérico Pork Subscription What we liked: The chorizo clasico was also delicious, imbued red by paprika and with the piquant taste of garlic.” All in all, everything we tried from this box was well-marbled and very porky (in the best way possible). What we didn’t like: It’s pricey, but so is high-quality pork. Key Specs Box includes: 6.25 pounds of Ibérico pork (various cuts) Frequency: Every 4, 8, or 12 weeks Good to know: You can also build your own custom box; subscription is optional The Best Wine Subscription Wine Access Membership PHOTO: Wine Access View on Wineaccess.com What we liked: Wine Access has nine clubs, but I tried the Discovery Club. It came with six bottles, YouTube videos detailing tasting notes and stories on the winemakers and vineyards, and sheets for each bottle for you to write down tasting and olfactory notes. If you’re just getting into wine (or looking to give a subscription to someone who is), this is a truly excellent place to start. What we didn’t like: I would’ve appreciated pairing suggestions for each bottle. Key Specs Box includes: 6 bottles Frequency: Quarterly Good to know: Shipping is free over $150 The Best Natural Wine Subscription Mysa Wine Natural Wine Club Subscription PHOTO: Mysa View on Mysa.wine What we liked: For natural wine lovers, Mysa will be a haven. Its wine club has several options (including mixed and orange wines) and they feature wine from small producers, so you’re sure to try something new each time. The website has a classic-to-funky meter for each bottle and the subscription includes a small card with a QR code that you can use to bring up the wines’ information. For those with sustainability in mind, the lack of printouts will be appreciated. (Fun fact: My friends own Mysa wine, and they really are the most delightful people!) What we didn’t like: Nothing much: if you like natural wines, you’ll enjoy Mysa.Serious Eats / Riddley Gemperlein-Schirm
The Best Non-Alcoholic Cocktail Subscription Raising the Bar Zero Proof Subscription Box PHOTO: Raising the Bar View on Weareraisingthebar.com What we liked: A non-alcoholic box with a theme? Sign us up (literally). The box we tried was “Siren’s Song.” “I love a good cocktail, but I also have a sensitive stomach and alcohol can make things worse. Enter Raising the Bar, a zero-proof subscription box that provides all the ingredients (and a recipe) for tasty tipples—minus the ABV. Every month you’ll get a new cocktail to make, which serves up to 10 people (!!),” Grace says. “I really loved the Bittersweet Symphony cocktail, a non-alcoholic, tropical riff on the gin and Aperol aperitivo classic. This version uses rooibos tea, Wilderton’s herbal bitter non-alcoholic botanical spirit, and a spiced mango and passionfruit elixir, with the final mocktail garnished with a sliver of candied ginger.” What we didn’t like: The subscription ships around the 15th of every month, so you’ll have to plan accordingly if you have, uh, plans for the box. Key Specs Box includes: Ingredients to make 10 drinks Frequency: You can choose a 1-, 3-, 6-, or 12-month plan Good to know: The box may include tools you’ll need for the drinks Serious Eats / Grace Kelly The Best Beer Subscription City Brew Tours Beer Club PHOTO: City Brew Tours View on Citybrewtours.com What we liked: Every month, City Brews will send you beers from a different city (highlighting four breweries). “We got the Portland, Oregon box, which featured eight beers from four different breweries, along with a leaflet that notes the flavor profiles and a bit about the breweries,” Grace says. “And the variety! This was no mere box of IPAs—there was a grisette, an oatmeal pilsner, a stout, and a few lagers (along with some IPAs because, well, West Coast IPAs are the OG). This would be a fantastic gift for a beer nerd, like my husband (I’m seriously thinking of gifting it to him for Christmas!).” What we didn’t like: Well, the price per box ($80) can buy you a lot of beer at a liquor store, but that’s far less fun, isn’t it? The price per beer is equivalent to getting a pour at a brewery, but far more than buying a 6-pack at a store. Key Specs Box includes: 8 beers Frequency: Once a month Good to know: You can select between buying just one box or setting up a subscription for 3 or 6 months Serious Eats / Grace Kelly The Best Coffee Subscription Trade Coffee Subscription PHOTO: Trade View on Drinktrade.com What we liked: This is the coffee subscription of choice for Serious Eats commerce writer Jesse Raub, aka our in-house coffee expert (he spent 15 years in the specialty coffee industry). Trade’s subscription can be set up to auto-deliver at various intervals and you can even swap out coffees depending on your preferences. When you first sign up from Trade, it uses an algorithm quiz to choose coffee for you based on your answers.Discover the best coffee and beverage subscription boxes tailored to your preferences. Our comprehensive guide includes a variety of options, from coffee brewing methods to unique sparkling water flavors.
The Coffee Subscription Quiz: Our quiz helps you find your perfect coffee match by considering your brewing method (pour-over, automatic drip, espresso machine), coffee knowledge level, roast preferences, and more. Aura Bora Sparkling Water Subscription: Experience the delightful flavors of Aura Bora’s sparkling water subscription. With options like Peach Honeysuckle, Mango Chili, and Blueberry Wildflower, each subscription includes 24 cans of surprise flavors. While the initial cost of $60 may seem high, it equates to just $2.50 per can. Fuego Box Hot Sauce Subscription: For spice lovers, Fuego Box offers a straightforward hot sauce subscription. Paying $130 gets you 12 bottles of hot sauce over 12 months, with three bottles delivered quarterly. The box includes a ‘hot sauce log’ for you to record your thoughts on each sauce. The Brightland Olive Oil Subscription: Convenience meets quality with the Brightland Olive Oil Subscription. At a higher price point, you receive two distinct olive oils: the peppery Awake and the mellow, fruity Alive. Graza Drizzle & Sizzle Extra-Virgin Olive Oil Set: For those who consume olive oil frequently, the Graza Drizzle & Sizzle Extra-Virgin Olive Oil Set is a great option.The Best Large-Format Olive Oil Subscription
Corto Club Corto Classic Collection PHOTO: Corto View on Corto-olive.com What we liked: A supremely nice gift to give someone (or yourself) is to always have olive oil on hand. Club Corto will give you exactly that. Each shipment comes with two 500-milliliter bottles and one supremely large 3-liter box. The box has a spout, though—perfect for decanting the olive oil into a dispenser. Corto’s olive oil is fresh and incredibly delicious, be it soaked up with bread or drizzled on top of pasta. If the Club’s pricing doesn’t appeal to you, Corto offers subscriptions on just their bottles or boxes (you can choose between recurring delivery every one, two, three, or six months). What we didn’t like: We fully acknowledge that $220 upfront may seem like a lot for olive oil. Key Specs Box includes: 2 bottles of olive oil; 1 3-liter box Frequency: Twice a year Good to know: Before subscribing, you can buy single bottles from the company, to make sure you like it Serious Eats / Riddley Gemperlein-Schirm Graza has some of our favorite packaging, with the squeeze bottle making it super easy to dispense oil into a measuring cup or directly into a pan. The subscription duo comes with Drizzle (for finishing) and Sizzle (for cooking). What we didn’t like: Brightland is pricey ($65), but you choose whether you want your subscription to auto-deliver every month, two months, or three months. Graza has the same auto-delivery selection, though Drizzle is a bit one-note flavor-wise. Key Specs Box includes: 2 bottles of olive oil Frequency: Once a month, every 2 months, or every 3 months Good to know: Before subscribing, you can buy single bottles from either company, to make sure you like it Serious Eats / Grace Kelly The Best Spice Subscription Burlap & Barrel Spice Club Gift Subscription PHOTO: Burlap & Barrel View on Burlapandbarrel.com What we liked: When it comes to buying spices online, this spice subscription has long been a favorite of Serious Eats staffers. The quarterly subscription includes four jars of spices (including ones that haven’t been released yet) and a collaboration food product, like a box of Sfoglini x Burlap and Barrel pasta. You can sign up for a subscription for yourself ($45, charged quarterly) or buy a whole year’s subscription as a gift ($180). Don’t underestimate how wonderful it is to have incredibly fresh spices delivered right to your door. What we didn’t like: Nothing: This is a great subscription box. Key Specs Box includes: 4 full-size jars of spices and one food product Frequency: Quarterly Good to know: The boxes ship in February, May, August, and November Serious Eats / Riddley Gemperlein-Schirm The Best Sweet Subscription Boxes The Best Pastry Subscription Williams Sonoma Les Marais Pastries Subscription PHOTO: Williams Sonoma $215 at Williams Sonoma What we liked: Three months of…croissants? Yep! The croissants ship frozen from Les Marais bakery in San Francisco, with each month being a new croissant. (The first month is almond, the second is au beurre, and the third is chocolate croissants.I tried the au beurre croissant box. It arrived with 12 perfectly frozen croissants. The box included clear, illustrated instructions for storing, thawing, proofing, and baking the croissants. The resulting pastries were incredible: uber-buttery (they use two types of butter: French Isigny and Vermont Plugrá) and flakey.
What we didn’t like: At $215, it’s definitely pricey. However, between the three months, you get 34 pastries, which breaks down to about $6 a pastry.
Key Specs
Box includes: Each box includes 10 to 12 croissants
Frequency: Once a month for 3 months
Good to know: The croissants will keep in the freezer for 90 days
Serious Eats / Riddley Gemperlein-Schirm
The Best Cookie Subscription
Levain Bakery Cookie Club
View on Levainbakery.com
What we liked: If you haven’t tried cookies from this iconic New York City bakery, you’re in for a treat: They are super thick, giant, and loaded with mix-ins. (Check out Stella’s Levain Bakery-style cookie recipe.) The company recently launched a Levain Cookie Club, which includes eight cookies a month. You can choose a mystery cookie flavor (sometimes it’ll be ones that haven’t been released yet) or your favorite flavor to auto-deliver. I’m partial to their Chocolate Chip Walnut.
What we didn’t like: It would be nice if you could customize your delivery schedule, like selecting bimonthly instead of monthly.
Key Specs
Box includes: 8 cookies
Frequency: Once a month
Good to know: Shipping is free
Serious Eats / RIddley Gemperlein-Schirm
The Best Fruit Subscription
Frog Hollow Farm Farm Box Membership
PHOTO: Frog Hollow Farm
What we liked: Frog Hollow is a certified organic farm located in California—and they ship out some of the most perfect fruit. My box (which I received in July) had organic yellow peaches and apricots (both from Contra Costa County). The fruits were all ripe and so beautifully packaged: each individual fruit was wrapped in red and gold Frog Hollow tissue paper. The fruit was incredible, too—both eaten by themselves and cubed with a bit of granola, heavy cream, and maple syrup on top. The delivery was communicative as well and I received several emails about the package’s shipping and arrival.
What we didn’t like: Some customers reported that the fruit arrived bruised, but my box was in pristine condition. The delivery schedule is unclear from the product page.
Key Specs
Box includes: 3 to 10 pounds of fruit
Frequency: Weekly shipment, but you can skip, pause or cancel at any point, the company says Good to know: “We sometimes include fruits from organic partner farms in California to give you the best year-round variety,” the company notes
A Subscription Just for…Dates?
Rancho Meladuco The Date Farm The Standing Date

View on Ranchomeladuco.com
What we liked: This subscription is a 2-pound box of the best dates you’ve ever tried.
They’re so soft and sweet. You might be thinking, “Do I need that many dates?” Maybe not, but with fruit this good, I’ve been finding reasons to use them with abandon: In smoothies, on yogurt, as a snack, or as a dessert stuffed with peanut butter and squares of chocolate.
What we didn’t like: For those who won’t go through dates as fast, a biweekly monthly option could be appealing. Key Specs Box includes: 2 pounds of organic, jumbo Medjool dates Frequency: Once a month (or every two weeks) Good to know: The company also offers subscriptions for 2 pounds of mixed size Medjool dates (cheaper) and 5 pounds of “grinder” (drier dates that are better for baking and blending) Serious Eats / Riddley Gemperlein-Schirm The Best Ice Cream Subscription Salt & Straw Pints Club PHOTO: Salt & Straw View on Saltandstraw.com What we liked: Without delivery, I wouldn’t be able to get Portland-based Salt & Straw where I live in Western Massachusetts. Which is a shame…because it’s some of the best ice cream I’ve tried. Their Pints Club ships monthly and you can choose between getting a mix of seasonal flavors, their best-sellers, or dairy-free pints. I did the first one and got a range of fall-flavored ice creams, including one with actual chunks of pumpkin bread in it and another with caramel, peanut butter, and feuilletine. The ice cream arrived rock solid—with nary a pint even sweating. What we didn’t like: The price is prohibitive and three months of ice cream delivery translates to about $15/a pint (but does include shipping). Key Specs Box includes: 5 pints of ice cream Frequency: Once a month Good to know: You can always try a delivery of their bestsellers first before committing to a subscription Serious Eats /
