12 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.“

“I love getting fresh baked cookies for my clients for their birthdays. I appreciate their loyalty so grabbing them a sweet treat for their birthday just sounds fun. I was in the area so I made my way into Chip to grab a cookie for my client.

My clients have brought me goodies from Chip before. The salon I used to work at is right across the street so they would just cross the road to grab some. Chip cookies never disappoint. I could clear a box of 4 in no time. And not one ounce of guilt would be felt. Life is too short not to enjoy warm cookies once in a while.

I picked the OG today for my client. You can't mess with a classic. They did have some other options that looked killer but I refrained from getting any. I still have treats at home that I need to finish. But man was it tempting.

The sweet gal that helped me today put the cookie in a beautiful bright red box. It was the perfect shade of red. Vibrant and warm for my friend's birthday! While I was checking out, I happened to notice a huge bowl of day old cookies. They were sitting prettily in this bowl next to the register. How could I resist, it was meant to be. I needed a cookie for later so I ended up snagging a SW cookie. It was a little banged up from people moving the cookies around but I knew it was going to taste good.

My client enjoyed her cookie. I very much enjoyed my cookie at the park across the street. It was soft, sweet and salty. It was hard not to eat the whole thing in 3 bites. It was the perfect afternoon treat for this beautiful afternoon. Looking forward to coming back and trying one of their specialty cookies.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Sunshine Spice Bakery & Cafe is one of the best cafés I have ever visited. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and beautifully designed. The staff are incredibly friendly and make every guest feel at home. The pastries, baklava, and fresh Afghan-inspired dishes are absolutely delicious, and the coffee is outstanding. Everything tastes fresh, homemade, and prepared with great attention to detail. I especially loved the unique flavors and the authentic cultural experience. If you’re in Boise, this place is a must-visit. I highly recommend Sunshine Spice Bakery & Cafe to anyone looking for amazing food, excellent service, and a memorable café experience.

I will definitely be coming back again and again!“

“We absolutely love working with Paolian Sweets! Any time one of our clients hire her, her work is just stunning. I even hired her to make my daughter’s 1st birthday cake and it was so so beautiful. If you’re looking for a stunning cake- we would highly recommend this company!“
