18 Best Bakeries in Boise

“Oddly placed next to an adult store, but the food and coffee are absolutely superb. I highly recommend getting the dumplings. I will be dreaming about them for a long time now. The pastries and coffee go very well together. The atmosphere is very common and inviting and clean I will definitely come back.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“A Boise classic, with the best in-house pastries. Sometimes it's hard to find a seat, but when you do, it's so great. And the Gift Shop has an amazing selection of fun and quirky gifts. Honestly, come for the pastries, stay for the shopping.“

“I just finished a walk up on the greenbelt with my puppy and noticed the sign and wanted to come check it out! I honestly had no idea the place was here. I got a breakfast sandwich and guava lotus drink. The staff was so so friendly and quick service. They have hands down the best quick breakfast sandwiches, I’ll be coming here so often now that I know it’s here!“

“The cake was gorgeous! But, more importantly, it tasted amazing. She did every layer in different flavors and all were incredible. She also created a design that looked like Spanish tiles which was exactly what my daughter wanted. Lots of positive comments!“

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

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

“a fantastic bakery. everything we have bought and served is fresh and amazing.Thank you“

“We loved that they offer vegan and gluten free options. We purchased four donuts to try: old fashion cake donut, maple bar, chocolate bar, fritter of the day, which was cherry. The fritter was everyone's favorite and the only one we recommend.“

“Always come to Certified when we visit Boise. The English muffins are the best“

“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.“
