18 Best Bakeries in Boise

“Nice local bakery I like to support. Pies are their strength, both fruit and cream pies. Fillings are plentiful and locally sourced. I hate to admit their rolls and bread items need improvement. Simply put, they taste as if they had no salt added. Bland. Salt is essential in order to make flavors really great. I don’t know why the lack of salt, but it’s why the rolls aren’t excellent.“

“I ordered a cake for my mom's birthday and it was absolutely gorgeous. My mom was thrilled with it and the taste was to die for. I'll be ordering again for sure.“

“Always a great experience here! The customer service is top-notch everyone’s friendly and welcoming from the moment you walk in. Orders are always ready quickly, and the cookies? Always fresh, warm, and delicious. It’s the kind of place that keeps you coming back!“

“Bluesky Bagels is hands down the BEST hidden gem in town. Not only are the bagels fresh, soft, and ridiculously delicious, but the prices are unbeatable — where else can you snag two whole bags for around $3.50? 🤯 Every time I walk in, the place smells like heaven, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and I leave wondering why I ever bought bagels anywhere else. Honestly, grocery store bagels don’t even compare — these taste like they were made with actual love. 🥯💙 If you haven’t been here yet, do yourself a favor: stop what you’re doing and go. Your mornings (and your toaster) will thank you.“

“Today is my mom’s birthday and I surprised her with a trip to this bakery. I’ve looked for sweet pastry shops to eat at in Boise, and I recently heard about this place! The options looked so appetizing from outside the glass, and looked even better on a plate served in front of us! I bought 4 pastries and 2 drinks for 50$ including my tip, and this shop is top tier. Holy moly I have never tasted such exquisite, divine pastry goods in my 17 years of life. I got the apple juice, my mom got the Turkish coffee, which wasn’t too bitter but not too sweet. and for pastries we got the blueberry vanilla tart, pistachio blackberry tart, hazelnut cream choux, and caramel white chocolate choux. Everything was balanced in each flavor, texture, and creativity. My mom loved the white chocolate caramel choux, and I LOVED the blueberry vanilla tart. I damn near moaned when the flavors hit my taste buds. Next time I go that will be the only thing I order because good lord is that crafted by gods hands. This place was an absolute 10/10, i recommend this place if you want a sweet treat that won’t make you feel icky after.“

“Our little Remi loved his cake! They were super easy to work with and was able to get it done for us within a week! Will definitely order more cakes from them in the future! 🩵“

“We only buy our bread here, Every week plus cookies, blondies, chocolate cake, brownies, muffins, cinnamon rolls. It’s always a treat. Buy sandwiches occasionally.“

“I went for the second time 10/15 around 9pm and the lady was great! Patient, helpful, and had some good conversation. Wish I had gotten her name to add but she was fantastic. The cookies were great and we left with smiles on our faces. Great place to check out!“

“Love the pastries and atmosphere at Janjou. Owners are friendly and welcoming. My favorite place to go for pastries.“

“My husband and I stopped in this morning and I’m so glad we did! The donuts were outstanding and the bacon egg and cheese sandwich was one of the best I’ve ever had! Was delighted that they had coffee as well. The service was friendly and fast, we found our new breakfast spot in Boise!“

“We love Gaston's. Highly recommend! We will be back again!“

“Walking into the coffee shop Giftshop is quite colorful, they have a large selection of stickers and mugs along with Gag gifts, and friendly staff. The coffee I ordered was a white chocolate mocha but it wasn’t very sweet kinda plain but it did have a wonderful cream design on the top as pictured. The coffee prices are rather cheap for Boise and the food prices were also very affordable for Boise.“

“I recently ordered my baby's first birthday cake from this talented lady, along with Cupcakes and Cake pops! I couldn't be happier! Everything was not only visually stunning but also incredibly delicious. Every layer was moist and flavorful, and it was evident that she uses high-quality ingredients. Beyond the amazing treats, the baker was an absolute pleasure to work with—so kind and accommodating. I highly recommend her for any special occasion!“

“I love Albertson’s. I’ve been going there since I was a kid. I often find new and interesting products, which I share in my Facebook group, Southern Idaho Foodies. This is a review of one of the recent items I have shared that received a great response. 90+ people have already liked and or commented on this post, which was put up yesterday afternoon. Many members of my group have already tried this item. Those who have not, are going to soon. Enjoy! Salt & Vinegar Wings ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Last night, I stopped to get a chicken breast from Albertson’s Deli. The employee who helped me and asked if I had ever tried these wings. I told her I had not. She said she was going to send me home with a free sample. When I get home, I was surprised to see that she gave me not one, but three free chicken wings! Though this is not a flavor I ever would have thought of buying, I’m glad I tried them because they are excellent! This is my first time trying Albertson’s Deli wings. I like that the skin is well cooked and the wings are very meaty. The vinegar flavor is subtle. The salt enhances the overall flavor of these wings. I would definitely buy them again. Albertsons on Broadway in Boise has a Wing Bar. Next time I’m nearby, I’m going to try as many flavors as possible. Highly Recommended!!!“

“Some good bargains. Lots of 5 for and 3 for. Bread is "day-old" but still good for toast and sandwiches. The store has a "loyalty" hole punch card, where you can collect 7 punches free products. They have daily specials and military discount Wednesdays.Only problem is the customer restrooms are always "out of order" and have been since 2020! (Hmmmm! Interesting timing.....COVID 19?!!??!)“

“I’ve been wanting to stop by for weeks. Did it yesterday!!! Wow, amazing food. The grocery section has so many fun items to try. I’ll be back and highly recommend.“
