50 Best Coffee Shops in Boise

“Really great locally roasted coffee and breakfast sandwiches!“

“I go every Sunday and the staff is amazing. The boba is wonderful and what's great. is that a lot of the drinks that contain milk? you can substitute it without milk and use a alternative milk such as coconut or soy or almond milk. The boba itself is very soft, but my favorite is the crystal boa. it has a texture like aloe. Every time I come in I'm always read it with a smile and catch up with them from the past week. sometimes I'll have them pick out their favorite drink for me to try and everything on the milk. tea is a wonderful. The taro. they make it in house. my personal favorite is the winter melon with half sweetness the mochi waffle is to die for. I love the matcha one and get that every Sunday as well“

“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.“

“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!“

“I am in Boise for my husband’s work conference and I was searching for the “best coffee” around. This is literally a hop skip and a jump from our hotel so I figured I’d go here first. Needless to say, I liked it so much that I came back the next day.
On my first visit, I bought a blueberry mascarpone hand pie and a lavender oat milk latte ?
Today, a plain oat milk latte and a bag of beans so I can enjoy it when I get home.

The service was great both days, and everyone is super friendly.

It’s a small place and all the tables were taken but I was on the go so it didn’t matter either way.

I’ll be making another stop in the morning before we head out.

Stop scrolling and go. You can thank me later.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Amazing automsphere and great people. I just got back from vacation and wanted coffee for the ride home, the place was having issues with their computer but the lady was taking care of everyone and keeping it going nice and smooth while being calm and collected. she didnt turn anyone away and took care of everyone with a smile on her face. I assisted another man to get the computer going just because how nice she was. the great coffee, great atmosphere and everything in-between is going to make me come back“

“Excellent coffee. I always get an Americano so I can’t comment on the specialty drinks. There is some seating inside but tables outside which make it a place to hang out with your dog.

Parking: May be busy at times and you’ll have to park and walk but not far“

“Greatest waffle I’ve ever had in my life. I will never eat another waffle as long as I live unless less it’s from here.“

“always great coffee and a cool group of people“

“Best coffee in town , has a unique taste, and the breakfast burritos are on point!“

“I came here for the coffee, and I can appreciate the bike shop vibe. It's a neat idea. The espresso (mocha) was great, but I was bummed that the only way the shop offers half-caf drinks is by paying an additional $4 per double shot of espresso... so the drink total was going to be over $9 for a 12 oz. double shot (1 regular, 1 decaf). I believe the roasters are located in Portland... and many, if not all, of the fancy coffee shops I have been to in Portland offer half-caf for no additional charge. I can completely understand needing to pay an upcharge for having to pull two separate shots, but more than $4 seems a bit excessive. I would assume other customers have wanted to add espresso shots to their drinks too, which would total their drink price to over $9 as well. I have yet to go to a coffee shop that doesn't offer triple shot drinks and/or charges $2 extra per shot. That said, Bikes and Beans offers good quality espresso/coffee drinks...I just wish it was a tad more affordable/accommodating.“

“Cozy cafe to escape the rain. The coffee is delightful and so is their tea selection. This is a fantastic spot for reading on a comfortable chair, working at a large table, catching up with friends, a casual first date. The viiiibes are there.“

“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 baristas making delicious drinks. Always happy and friendly. I highly recommend the Electric Dragon. They use Bright energy drink and it tastes great. The mango boba they use is nice and plump. I've had boba from other places and they are soggy and deflated. I will go back many times“

“Decor and atmosphere was a relaxing and welcoming space. Service was not only timely but helpful and personable. First time I was able to understand why people like coffee and able to taste the notes of it not just generic "coffee" taste. Can't wait to go again“

“Came here last summer with my girlfriends and gave it another try today, and was once again pleasantly surprised with how good the coffee is. Would highly recommend getting the americano here, it is DELICIOUS! The atmosphere is just lovely and the staff are always so friendly.

Dietary restrictions: I saw that they had gluten free options and a variety of milk options as well! Love that this coffee shop offers this and accommodates:)“

“Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and delish coffee.“

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

“Came in around 10 am. Not super busy. I got a mocha and my wife got the "bees knees" (honey and lavender). Both were excellent. The service was a bit odd. There was an individual making drinks, and an individual at the register. You would think you would order from the person at register, but instead you order from the barista. It was a little annoying having to talk over the espresso machine (instead of just talking over a counter), but overall a good place to get a drink and chill.“

“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.“

“Dawson Taylor is my absolute favorite coffee shop in town, their baristas and coffee are absolutely amazing. I just heard that they are planning to get rid of the mosaic art that I absolutely love in their coffee shop! Please don’t do it! KEEP THE MOSIAC AND MURAL OUT FRONT!!!“

“First time in. Definitely not that last.“

“Great coffee, atmosphere and baristas!!!“

“Best donut I have ever had!“

“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!“

“Coffee was great and nice patio area ❤️“

“We’re here about once a month (if I lived closer it would be way more often) and it is THE BEST place for breakfast and lunch. My favorite is the bacon jalapeño quiche. Also the best London Fog I have ever had. Can’t go wrong with any of the delicious pastries either.“

“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…. :-)“

“This is one of my favorite coffee shops. I have been happy with every order be it just coffee and a muffin or breakfast. I love sitting out on their deck and the entire vibe of the store and it's patrons. It's a great stop after hiking at nearby Camels Back Park.“

“always great coffee and a cool group of people“

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

“Always a bright spot in my usually chaotic day. I'm usually a Salted Caramel Breve girl, but I'm now loving the Lime Bright with Cherry for the summer. Thanks girls, for the great recommendation! Love the energy and warm welcome I ALWAYS receive here. Lake Hazel Human Bean is definitely my favorite on-the-go coffee spot in the valley. ?☕️“

“Can you spell AMAZING?! I am not a coffee drinker but I went here the other day with the hubs. He had a cup of coffee (just black, but he said it was very good) and a frittata. He LOVED the tomatillo salsa that came with it. So much so that he would have purchased a jar if they sold it. I had the avocado toast (absolute best I have ever had!) and I told her to make me a sweet and blended coffee drink that a non coffee lover would like. She made an iced mocha and it was so yummy! I will definitely go back!“

“This is by far my favorite location! We go right before exploring the uptown cheapskate across the way. The staff is PHENOMENAL. They have always been kind and quick. They even break up the dog treat for my 4 lb puppy because they know he has a hard time chewing them. I will go out of way to go to this location because of how great they are.“

“I never mind when Charles demands a pup cup because it means I get some of the best chain coffee. He loves the Broadway team almost as much as they love him, and recognizes the brand whenever we drive by one now. ? (Picture taken right after ordering )“

“Nice friendly people plus good coffee!“

“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!“

“The donuts here are very tasty. I recommend the huckleberry and cream cheese one, so good. In addition to good donuts, they had very polite staff who didn't mind describing any donuts we had questions about. I will be back again to try some ice cream, I am sure.“

“Best coffee in town , has a unique taste, and the breakfast burritos are on point!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Absolutely love this place! Beignets are amazing, great service, very tasty coffee drinks. 100% recommend to anyone. I had the Irish Benedict, which was delicious. The corned beef was tender and plentiful, eggs were a teensy bit overcooked, but at least they weren't undercooked. Hollandaise sauce was fantastic, which is always the best part of any benedict type dish IF it's done well. Will absolutely be back if given the opportunity.“

“The best coffee house in Boise! Order a 1/2 sweet sista, you won't be disappointed!“

“We love to play at Green Acres Food Truck Park! It's always cooler by the river, plus there's shade and misters, ice cream, and always delicious food options. We love their staff; we love the family friendly environment and that all-ages are welcome. If you haven't been out to this local gem, you are missing out.“

“Amazing amazing work! I am pleasantly surprised. The food AND drinks were absolutely delightful! I’d recommend getting the caramel macchiato. This reminds me of my childhood home over in Italy. Once i greeted the woman at the counter, i felt a sense of comfort and nostalgia. I have never felt these feeling before. Thank you Caffe Darte. I am now whole again.“

“I love this location (State St.). Staff is always nice! I always grab water with extra extra ice and they understand! It's amazing when you go to other locations and they don't listen to you. The State location is always on point and I appreciate it.“

“Way better options than Starbucks. Real great sugar free options. I highly recommend this coffee bar.

Dietary restrictions: Great sugar free options you may not find elsewhere.

Parking: Good parking setup

Kid-friendliness: Great menu for the little ones and the dog too.“
