50 Best Coffee Shops in Boise

“I love everything about this place, the decor, the food the staff.“

“Sunshine Spice Bakery & Cafe is always a wow factor, and where I often take out of town visitors for something fun, delicious, and unique. The pastries are always exquisite. The dumplings you'll crave until your next visit. The coffee is good, and they offer unique flavors like ube and saffron options.“

“Amazing service! Great Boba! I usually come with my granddaughter and we sit and play word crossy and chill. I order a mango smoothie, she orders whatever she is liking on that day. You can't go wrong! Oh my goodness, sooooo good! I would recommend this place hands down to any other place I have been to for Boba! Thank you for all the great service!“

“Really great locally roasted coffee and breakfast sandwiches!“

“Best coffee shop in Idaho! My husband and I go at least once a week. The Baristas and the owner are far superior to any other coffee shop around. We love to go here for the full experience…great coffee, amazing pastries, and excellent customer service. You will quickly become a regular like us if you give them a try. 💕“

“Very polite and understanding staff, even when you accidentally try to pay with your costco ID. I would recommend ordering in and having an artistic latte while you take in the shop. This is a great place to meet friends, go on a first date, do homework, or be solitary and read a book.

Vegetarian options: Mainly parties, one or two breakfast sandwiches.

Dietary restrictions: They offer milk alternatives and gluten-free pastries (I have never had these, so I can not speak to the tastel

Parking: This is the middle of downtown Boise, so parking is difficult during the week, but it is very walkable/bikeable if you are somewhere downtown

Wheelchair accessibility: The building follows ADA regulations, but the floor layout does not allow ease of accessibility during peak times. This is probably the only negativity I have about this location“

“I don’t know where to start! The decor was very unique and welcoming! We had beignets and 3 different breakfast choices! OMG! SO GOOD! Muddled basil lemonade and roasted strawberry lemonade with fermented honey! The food looked so good we failed to take pictures! Presentation matched the pics on the website! This little gem has not been discovered yet!“

“What a chill atmosphere, so warm and inviting. coffee was well worth the wait, and it really wasn't long. The pastries looked amazing, can't wait to go back!“

“Perfect mochas, wonderful pastries, amazing staff.“

“Coffee and breakfast bagels were awesome and calming! Friendly staffs! Recommend going!“

“Great coffee and vibe, but I would skip the food. I had the breakfast sandwich and the flavor was pretty good, but it was all an off putting texture (soft and mushy).

Again, great coffee and vibe. Just get food somewhere else :)“

“Waffle me up was scrumptious, the workers were so kind and made the plates look so pretty! I would highly recommend, I cleared my plate in 9 mins😋“

“I walk 4 miles everyday to get here. Been coming here for great coffee and food for 130 straight days. Better than the food and the coffee are the great employees and the owners…every person that works here are all great people and my friends. They treat me like family and I’m so blessed to be able to come here everyday. Luv you all. Brian“

“Great coffee, great choices, seasonal changes in choices as well, average pricing, not much atmosphere...just a pull through Cafe window. Always a friendly and helpful staff!!!

Kid-friendliness: A few things, mostly an older persons menu, maybe teen and up.

Wheelchair accessibility: Drive through.“

“Coffee was great and nice patio area ❤️“

“My husband and I stopped by over the weekend before heading to the Cirque and this coffee was such a welcome surprise. Not to be dramatic or anything but this place has the best drip coffee I’ve ever had. We talked about it our entire trip and will be ordering after we get home. Great hidden Wyoming gem - keep it up!!“

“Nice friendly people plus good coffee!“

“amazing coffee & food 🩷.“

“Fantastic local business! Really cool idea for a bike/coffee shop. I was having trouble with an ebike I bought directly from the manufacturer; I needed a part that was damaged during the replacement of another part and after two weeks of trying to just get a response out of the manufacturer (A US company btw) I gave up and checked this place out in the off chance they'd have this very proprietary part for a bike that has since been discontinued. They didn't have the replacement part, BUT they were able to fix the existing part and give me some very helpful tips in the future. And they didn't even mock me for the stupid way I damaged the part (which I halfway expected), not to my face at least :). They were very friendly and super helpful. I'll be replacing this POS ebike I've got now and Bikes and Beans will absolutely be the place I buy the replacement, and probably that new mountain bike I've had my eyes on.“

“Overall, a nice coffee shop!

The atmosphere and the staff were so friendly. There are several tables and a couch to sit and enjoy your coffee.

My particular cup of coffee was good, but not great. I had a pour over, which I did appreciate as a choice!

I’d certainly come back for the atmosphere, the coffee shop has definite good vibes.“

“Best cup of coffee available in Boise Idaho!!! Black, blended, doesn't matter the do all of it well. They roast their beans perfectly, not burnt like other places. You can enjoy the taste of the coffee, with a hint of your favorite flavorings. My favorite: 6 shot Latte with SF Butter Rum, Heavy cream.“

“Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and delish coffee.“

“I’m going to head to Madeline and Bailey these two kids sister coffee crushers nailed it when I needed a blended drink and something called “the kicker “this place offer is very quick drive-through service. They even have a walk up area with seating where no smoking is of course the requirement I have to say the flavor of the kicker it was incredible but they told me if you really needed to wake up… Then I must try what’s called “the 911 “… Since I am middle aged the idea of drinking, a heart attack wasn’t quite appealing, but I will be coming back to try that out during my visit to Boise the city of my birth. The flavor was incredible again I just have to hand it to those girlsThey know what they were doing and they had everything done in less than two minutes what a nice shot or a double shot!“

“I was told the biscuits and gravy is amazing. Unfortunately they were out. The bagel and lox was amazing instead!! Will definitely be going back.“

“Thanks Mocha Moose for taking the chill off after a morning of xc skiing 👍“

“I LOVE this store! All the baristas are just amazing, but Mikayla is extra amazing. I’m mega picky about my quad mochas, sort of a coffee snob, and she flat out nails it every time. When I hit the lottery and get a full time barista of my very own, it will 100% be her…. :-)“

“I love this location. It’s one of the only stands that i go to that is 100% consistent with my drink every single time. Maybe this can get pushed along to corporate but it would be super cool if there was a healthier option for kids drinks.. I would come by a lot more but I like to get my kids a drink, and a kids smoothie with 40-60 grams of sugar is just crazy… so we avoid doing it regularly, years ago there was at least the option for apple juice! (She doesn’t drink milk, dairy or non dairy) Just a thought for consideration!“

“We love this place! The coffee & food are both delicious & the staff is always terrific. Plus, we dig the deck seating outside. Thank you, Java!“

“A must try! Fabulous acai bowl made on site with fresh fruit, honey, coconut 🥥, granola, and peanut butter. 🤤 A delicious white chocolate mocha, and to die for donuts! Also, the area out front was so cute and accommodating to sit and enjoy your breakfast in the sunshine around the fire pit🔥. The girls working were so friendly, fast, and efficient. Highly recommend swinging in! ❤️“

“First time in. Definitely not that last.“

“My friend and I went to Starbucks pick up a coffee I got a small one and she got a medium one and I'm not going to tell you what kind but we were both sick for the rest of the day on the toilet I don't think we'll be going back?“

“I go into a lot of coffee houses and ask if they can make me an Affogato and am regularly disappointed.
But not yesterday!
I went in and even though it is not listed on the coffee menu I asked anyway expecting disappointment.
Wow! I was so happy to hear they would make me one, and it was delicious. They happen to have gelato in many flavors and thankfully vanilla.
I was very impressed with the taste of my desert coffee and happy that they would accommodate my request.
I would recommend this place to anyone.“

“Great new Coffee Shop with awesome bites. Friendly staff and supportive of the local LGBTQ+ community.“

“I absolutely love Free Spirit Brewing Company! It's wonderful to have a non-alcoholic environment where I can enjoy delicious cocktails without compromising on taste or experience. The staff's knowledge and passion truly enhance every visit. I can’t wait to try their new location! Highly recommended for anyone seeking great drinks in a welcoming atmosphere.“

“😎🤙 Most Definitely the Best“

“Coffee and breakfast bagels were awesome and calming! Friendly staffs! Recommend going!“

“Nestled in a high-end living community, offers a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Their coffee was good, and they also serve a variety of breakfast options. I enjoyed their everything burrito. While it's a bit out of the way, it's worth a visit for a relaxing cup of coffee and a tasty bite to eat.“

“I love coming here when I need a boost during a hard day at work. I also come here for the atmosphere and the coffee, but I also very much appreciate how professional and friendly the staff is. Stop by if you’re looking for a quick, affordable, hand-made coffee!“

“Freshies is amazing! The lobster is always fresh and cooked perfectly.“

“This is an awesome spot to grab breakfast. The food is very tasty and the portions are hugh!! The service is amazing. Our server Olivia was very attentive and made us feel welcome from the second we walked in the door. We will definitely be back!“

“amazing coffee & food 🩷.“

“The coffee is great (I usually order an iced espresso + chai), but please add an option to tip on card payments. I, like most, rarely carry cash these days, and the staff deserve their tips.

Edit: tip option added! Thanks for listening.“

“Yummy!...Baristas are all so nice 🙂“

“Jayne gave me Jitters that lasted an eternity in the BEST way!! The environment is so wonderful, the staff is so friendly, accommodating, and loved to provide recommendations for new customers! I spend so much time playing card games in the lobby and enjoying the ambience of Boise’s bestest coffee shop!!“

“Fantastic service, super nice and friendly, made a great hot Chai Tea on a cool fall Boise afternoon. There were two baristas and both were genuinely friendly and plant to talk with. Will definitely be back!“

“This is a nice spot to sit for coffee and a dessert or lunch. They had vegan milk options for their coffee drinks. There's a lot of seating and it has great natural light from the big windows. The coffee was delicious and the pie even more so! I didn't notice many options for people with dietary restrictions in case that is a concern. But otherwise it's worth a visit!“
