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 always have a good experience with Crumbl but I’m writing this review to highlight one employee doing all the work while her two coworkers sat and talked not helping her. I didn’t get any names but one gal wearing red lipstick was the only person helping a giant line of customers and making their cookies. I heard her politely ask for help from her coworkers twice and both times these lazy coworkers acted annoyed and haphazardly helped. One of them didn’t bother changing gloves after making peanut butter cookies and got peanut butter on my sugar cookie. Peanut allergies are very real and more care should be taken to prevent contamination. 5 stars for miss red lipstick!! thank you for making everyone’s cookies! I hope you get more competent coworkers soon!“

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

“I wanted gender reveal cake pops and they turned out perfect! I sent her a couple pictures and they looked exactly like what I sent! Easy to communicate with, fast response time, and the cake was delicious!“

“This is and has been a long standing favorite food spot for me. #1 sandwiches are my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE food #2 Bagels are my very very favorite form of bread to use for sandwiches. Now, you just cannot beat the insanely HIGH quality of every single ingredient they use at Blue Sky, the variety is out of this world and the possibilities are endless especially if you are creative and also perhaps adventurous? Either way I can guarantee that their food is absolutely bomb! 100(if not infinite)/10 stars ✨ easilyThank you guys for consistently being amazing, everyone that works there is so incredibly kind and nice and helpful. It is always clean as heck in there and the atmosphere is a very comfortable and perfect for a multifunctional sandwich/bagel restaurant that does also serve some other stuff.I got the parmesan bagel build your own sandwich with the garden veggie cream cheese and full servings of both ham and turkey making it a club sort of minus bacon because I don't like bacon don't come for me I don't like bacon! Sprouts and tomato also on this bad boy and I did get it toasted because why not? My mother got the pastrami breakfast sandwich, and we also got the chocolate peanut butter cookies and everything is just absolutely top-notch!

Vegetarian options: I am fairly certain that they can accommodate just about any dietary restrictions that someone may have although don't quote me on that and if you can't tell by the picture I'm posting with this, their sandwiches are enormous!

Dietary restrictions: As stated before I believe that they can accommodate almost all dietary restrictions but again don't quote me on that.

Parking: Honestly parking depends on the time of day that you go there and what day of the week for example weekends are going to be a bit more difficult.

Kid-friendliness: It's definitely not kid oriented however it is not anti-child either and as far as I know they may or may not have fun activity type things for kids like at other restaurants with kid menus you can Do puzzles on or color and yes I said you because I still do those things!

Wheelchair accessibility: Technically it is wheelchair accessible for sure however I think that's going to depend on what sort of wheelchair you have and how wide it may be as far as getting in the door but I didn't take measurements so I'm not really sure. Also they do have handicap parking.“

“I loved this place many years ago. So the only reason I would mark this down a notch is because we got there 6 minutes after they stopped building sandwiches. They wouldn't budge in that even though we drove from anther state to get there. Oh well. We did pickup cookies though“

“Cookies were good but I wouldn't say the cookies are any better or worse than Crumbl. The man behind the counter Friday afternoon around 3 PM wasn't very friendly. I mentioned it was my first time and he still seemed to be impatient with me. As for almost anywhere you go these days, the music on the radio was lousy, There is nowhere to sit, it is a takeout place. Limited parking.“

“She just made a repeat customer out of me. I have three pugs and one celebrated her 11th birthday today (she was born 11-11-11), so I knew it was a biggie and wanted to do something special. I went in search of dog bakeries and found Woof N' Bake. I went to their Facebook and commented on one of the pictures and she responded to me immediately. I was so pleased with her communication with me and the fact that she was able to make me one on less than a week's notice. She also made it a point to ask if my dogs had any food allergies. They absolutely loved the cake. They were crazy excited. I will be ordering from them in the future.“

“absolutely amazing, the cookies were so good that me and my family were mad we didn’t get more, there are other cookie places in my area that are amazing but this place is one of those things where you MUST try it, i also see all these other reviews saying “my cookies were expensive” or something. like a cookie here is just under $3, very cheap. but i personally have no complaints, this place is also so clean, my new to-go cookie place.“

“VERDICT: An excellent French influenced bakery. I highly recommend it.

FOOD: The tarts lean heavily into French influence in all the best ways. The crust itself pleasantly leans toward a complexity of flavor, underpinned by richness balanced into the mix. It forms a flawless foundation for the decadent fillings of fruit and spices. Together, they are nothing short of pure culinary delight while not suffering from the normal pitfalls of tarts in being overly sweet or overly rich. The main but minor departure from traditional French tarts is that they slightly dialed down the fat content in the crust to make way for an airy, nutty element lurking in the background as a welcome harmonizing note, along with the slightest dial down in the sweetness of filling, preventing imbalance in the palate by blowing out subtleties with sweetness.

SERVICE: Hospitality is top-notch. Everything about the place and their staff resonate a warmth expected from a place with "sunshine" in the name.

ATMOSPHERE: Clean, beautiful, and bright. Everything about this place certainly falls squarely in their branding of bright, airy, beautiful.

Parking: Plenty of free parking, albeit some of it is in front of the Adam & Eve store.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible with tables to pull up to with a wheelchair.“

“Cake: the cake was so impressive! Definitely a show stopper! The design of the entire cake left us all in awe. You could tell she planned and carefully hand-crafted every part of the cake, from the small to the big details.Service- Paola was so kind and helpful. She was more than willing to collaborate with me. She worked with my budget. She communicated with me and answered all my questions in a thorough and timely manner.She made my son’s birthday special! I highly recommend her! 5/5 stars! She is THE BEST!“

“Been going here for quite awhile. If I am in town it's the goto birthday or anniversary cake. They have a pastry,cookie,cake, cookie,etc. for about any taste. I like most of what I have had here in all my visits. Give it a shot I doubt you will regret it other than the lbs you gain from enjoying yourself.“

“Amazing donuts and fun place“

“My absolute favorite place to go for coffee, pastries, or a good chat with friends. The wifi is even good enough to sustain digital art projects without any crashes or lagging. Wonderful, friendly staff, and one of the few places left with pricing that isn't half bad. THE queer friendly shop of Boise.“

“Got the spicy apple bacon sandwich and it made my day. The sandwich was made with perfectly crisp bacon, fresh Granny Smith apple slices, and a perfect spicy jam that tied it all together. The service was friendly and efficient. 5/5 would recommend to a friend.“

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

“My daughter and I enjoy trying new places and new things to eat. This s a delight! Highly recommend getting the Falafel Plate. Come with salad, pita bread, hummus and falafel. The falafel were warm and crisp and that salad and dressing was Heavenly. We also purchased some Turkish Delights to take home and try. We WILL be going back!!!!!“
