We love this location. It is close to our home. So it is convenient. I like the neon sign. Our favorite has always been the Milky Way & the mistletoe. We often go through drive through. Which is quick and easy. The fireplace inside is inviting during winter. While the fountain outside is nice in the summer. Clean & friendly. Highly recommend for great coffee.

I'd never been here before, but I recently got a gift card and have gone twice this week. Since I am not familiar with the menu, I asked for input from the girl working both times and got great recommendations. Friendly employees and awesome drinks, will keep coming back😊

Movie Java has been around for a hot minute. The originals of the infamous Milky Way. There was several locations in the late 90's and early 2000's, that's when I started hitting up the coffee shops. I had my fair share of Milky Ways in high school. I did work for their Edward's location in 2000. One of the funnest jobs I had as a teenager coming out into the world. Core memories were made from my co workers, guests and the responsibilities I was given at such a young age.
But with time, other coffee joints have opened and your curiosity takes over. You hit up those other coffee shops or stay within your area for convenience. You forget the root of what started your love for coffee. I drive by this Moxie Java a few times a week and it always brings back memories. So, today I made the decision to go in! I have yet to have coffee at this location but with that logo on their store front, you know you're going to get a great cup of coffee.
This venue is big. I love the outside patio with the awning. Inside is cozy with the fireplace going. Plenty of seating for coffee and conversations. Comfy chairs by the fireplace. I adore all the local pictures of Downtown Boise. You can spend a good amount of time here enjoying your drink.
A sweet gal behind the counter greeted me. I appreciate that they have a convenient syrup list available so you don't have to ask the barista what kind of options you have. One thing about Movie Java that I love is the ample amount of options of syrups. Their sugar free options is one of the best in town.
I really wanted a Milky Way but I'm watching my sugar intake. I got an iced sugar free chocolate and caramel breve. I know it won't be the same but a decent alternative. I'm just happy that they even have sugar free chocolate as an option. A flavor 95% of these other coffee joints don't have.
My breve was tasty. I did have to add a packet of sweetner to it. It was almost there in sweetness, it just needed an extra push. The espresso wasn't overly strong. The half and half was creamy. It was all balanced and so good! I sipped on it for a bit in front of the fireplace. It was nice to start my Friday off on such a good note.
Moxie Java will always have a soft spot in my heart. It's part of my youth. I have so many fond memories from past coffee shops. My love for coffee started with this place. My first Milky Way will always be a favorite core memory for me. I'm happy I got to stop in and grab my coffee today. I will definitely have to stop in sooner than later.

Our family loves Moxie Java, but it has gotten dirtier, and there is a lack of car in the actual building. The carpet is never vacuumed, the floors are never swept, and the tables are never wiped down.

Love this place! Quaint, homey atmosphere and the drinks are great. The breakfast burritos are some of the best in the valley, and the muffins are tasty. We drive out of our way to go here on many weekends. Also, They have a nice little outdoor seating area, and a drive-thru if you want to take it with you. Try the iced Mexican Mocha latte...

To be honest, I hate giving smaller businesses ratings like this, but my boyfriend and I were sadly pretty disappointed coming here on a weekend morning for some coffee to try something new. I ordered one of their fall special drinks, as well as my boyfriend, and he also got a burrito. From the minute we ordered, it was already kind of a disaster. I had no problem with the girl taking our order asking me to repeat my order, so I gave it to her again, and when she read back our order it was correct. We paid, got to the next window, and were both automatically confused by the attitude of the girl handing us our first drink and saying goodbye to us although we didn’t receive the other drink or food. She looked frustrated and closed the window. Then, she handed us a muffin that we didn’t order? I let her know we didn’t order a muffin, just two drinks and a burrito. The other girl came over (the one that took our order) and explained to me that I had payed for a muffin, so I should just take it anyway. She never mentioned a muffin reading back our order. I kinda just laughed it off and said okay, and took it. She then handed us the other two items (my drink and my boyfriend’s burrito) and we left. When we got home, we found that not only was my drink wrong, but my boyfriend’s burrito was also made poorly and incorrectly. We paid extra so he could add bacon, and there was no bacon on it. The wrapping was also wrapped INTO the burrito, so he had to pretty much tear apart the whole burrito to unwrap it, and ended up eating it with a fork. It was literally just eggs and cheese. My fall special ended up as just a plain mocha. I’m confused on why the girl taking my order asked me to repeat myself once and then said she got it, but she clearly didn’t—I’ll repeat myself 100 times if needed if it means I’ll get the right drink! We tried to call, no answer. My boyfriend sent an email over the weekend, it’s Thursday and still no answer.
We’re a young couple in our 20’s and have both also worked customer service, so we hate being those people to complain over small stuff—but the lack of care from the employees, being unable to reach the store, and not receiving any type of contact back from the owners/managers is pretty sad. All we wanted was a refund for our order, or at least some type of apology. I’d be more understanding if the store was busy when we arrived, but there was nobody behind us in the drive thru and only one car in front of us. The coffee still tasted fine, hence the 2 stars, but everything else was really lacking. We live close so we were looking forward to having a new go-to coffee spot, but I don’t think we’ll be back after this experience.
Update: The owner, Julie, reached out to me promptly and was very apologetic. She also refunded me for my order. I really appreciate her being so receptive of my experience and doing what she could to make it right! Customer service is not easy and nobody can be 100% all of the time—what matters is how mistakes are handled. I’ve updated my review to reflect my satisfaction with the resolution, and seeing that the owner truly cares about her business and her customer’s experiences, I’d come back to give it another shot.
