    I've been here a few times and my opinion never changes! Definitely one of the best cafe/coffee shops out here in Boise! My favorite thing to get here is their matcha latte ... with strawberries or without... any flavor of the season matcha! lol and my husband loves their Meximocha! Staff are always so sweet, welcoming, and nice! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cute and casual place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Love coming here!

    Opened in Fall 2024 in the building that once housed Pho Bac, a Vietnamese eatery owned by the sweetest senior woman where I used to love to eat Bun Thit Nuong before the Fire Department closed the building in about 2020 for "..."life safety concerns with non-permitted propane and electrical work as well as other violations." It sat vacant and every time I drove by to go to and from Neighbor Tim's (a GREAT BBQ kiosk take out place) next door, I wondered what would become of the building. I was wishing for Tim to open a sit down service eater, but alas wishes don't always come true. This year the Blondie's Way owners decided to remodel and reinvent it into a coffee house, something that should be popular in this part of town with little competition for it and a high school nearby and a parking lot pretty easy to pull into as one drives by. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is light and bright, cool or cold for interior design depending on one's point of view. Sparkling clean as a very good thing[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. My first, and probably only, visit here was a couple of weeks ago. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Americana to go was good and price point competitive but the rub for me is almost all of the seating is high counter and table height.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] As a person who has had multiple sclerosis since my college years and can't climb up on those, this is a no go. So coffee grab and go and not sit down to try out the eats or other things. I read a great article a month or two ago, in EATER I think, where people of both genders who were in their early 30's were complaining about the need to use only high tables in so many places. One of them said something like, "The closer you get to 35, the more you realize high table only seating is a bad idea because almost no one wants to use it." True that. And I can't so there's that too. I don't know, maybe the high school kids, like the one who wrote the FTR here and employed what it seems he learned as "word of the day" that day to describe "insane" and "insanely" issues with service waits and prices will like those high perches. I laughed with that kid not at him because I found neither wait nor prices to be quite "sane", but I wasn't a teen on high school lunch break. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I hope owners of all kinds of businesses, this one included, consider comfortable seating that works for everyone. In particular, grown ups[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]].

    White mocha with oat milk
    Dani S.

    I'm all about supporting local coffee joints so I had to try Blondies Way today! This venue used to be the old Circle K back in the day and then Pho Bac. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Needless to say, I'm quite impressed on how they remodeled the joint. It's bright, the flooring is beautiful and it's spacious. The esthetic is very modern and clean. The windows in the front give it so much natural lighting, it's great![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's plenty of seating and tabletops to enjoy your drink, socialize or do homework.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The one thing that throws off the vibe is the neon signs that they have and the strung black lights. It feels out of place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Today I grabbed a small white mocha with oatmilk. The gal that took my order was really sweet! She was patient as I was looking over their menu. My drink was made pretty quickly as I came at a slow hour. There were quite a few baristas so I'm sure you won't be waiting too long for your goodies. My drink was delicious! You can taste the white mocha but it wasn't overly sweet. You can also taste the coffee without it being too bitter. It was perfectly balanced. I also appreciate the size of the coffee. I grabbed a small and it came in a good sized cup. I know a few local joints that use smaller portions so it's nice that they don't do that here. You get enough bang for your buck! If you're looking for a local coffee joint to support, hit up Blondies Way. I know they just opened up so have a little grace when it's busy. I'm excited to see them prosper.

    This review is based on the delicious coffee but also my personal preference for coffee shops. The drink itself was great - I got a basic vanilla latte, and it was really smooth. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere-wise, it felt a bit dry for me. It wasn't as comfy as my other favorite spots.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There also isn't a full food menu for breakfast, but they do have lunch paninis and some pastries. The staff was nice - I could tell they were comfortable with locals coming in and already had regulars they knew. Overall I think a good spot for a quick coffee and/or business meeting. I work from a lot of coffee shops and probably wouldn't pick this one as often as others. But def try some of their drinks!

    Drinks were delicious, white mocha breve is definitely better than Moxie Javas. Tried a new drink which is a brown sugar shaken espresso with oat milk but don't think it's my thing, but if you like that type of espresso drink then I definitely recommend. Lady at the front with blonde highlights was very nice and patient. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Little building was cute and I love the flooring; it's a nice touch![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Pup cup
    Holly T.

    I come here almost every day! By far my favorite place in Idaho to get matcha, not only matcha but the coffee and pastries are amazing. The staff are very friendly, they remember my dogs names and writes them on their pup cups, by far the best customer service I have ever gotten at a café. I suggest the ham and Swiss paninis as well! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also the location is looking right out to the mountains and it's a great view.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The café it's self has great seating and an excellent environment I love it!

    I moved to right down State St from the Local, so my parents and I have been here twice now…read more The first time was amazing food, but the service wasn't great, super rude and impatient. The reason we went back the second time was because we remembered how good the food was and how nearby it was too. The second time the food was still really good, but the service was HORRENDOUS. Brittney was such a ***** to me and my parents, my mom especially. My mom was complimenting her and something about the food, and she straight up just walked away in the middle of my mom still talking. And no it wasn't busy. It was towards the end of the night, there was maybe 2-3 other customers there. She acted like we were bothering her the whole time. Then once she'd leave us would just stand up at the bar flirting with the other guy working there and just ignore anyone else. Then on top of all of that, my dad tells me she added $10 onto her tip! FRAUD!!! I've attached photos as evidence. My dad still tipped her even though she was so rude and disrespectful. But apparently that wasn't enough for her and added $10 onto the total. I cannot believe that. And my dad tells me it was difficult to get his $10 back after calling and talking to the manager. He didn't get the name of the manager but he said that they were just making excuses and saying oh but she's our best server. Obviously not! Saying things like oh she must've just been really busy. Again, we were there when it was dead and about to close soon, no it was not busy. It's almost as if this business does this type of thing often because there was no alarm from the manager, then finally after much deliberation decided to send back the $10. Absolutely ridiculous. No : "I'm so sorry here's a free meal on us", or atleast a "here's a coupon or gift card for next time you come in", nothing. This is the type of thing that gets people closed down. We should report to the BBB. This is insane. And to not be offered anything to make it right is what really gets me. Like do they not want us to ever come back??? Not to mention tell everyone we know, etc. Yikes! And this is what we get for wanting to support local businesses instead of going to the big chains. What a bummer.

I really liked the spiced yam slices, but I felt like the peanut butter almost overpowered the yam sometimes. Could've been lighter on the PB. I ordered the combo meal which was supposed to be a 1/2 sandwich plus a side. If the sandwich portion I got was only a half, then the full size must be huge. I kind of suspect I got a full sandwich. I had the beet salad for my side. It was tasty and fresh, and also pretty sizeable. The staff were friendly and enthusiastic. The wait time for food was reasonable given that they seemed busy. The loft seating was nice.

Tonight our basket of fries, $6, was woefully under cooked and under seasoned. The two rice bowls, lamb ($23.99) and gyro ($16 or $17.99), were just bad. The rice was at least two days old and pasty, and had no lemon flavor. It shrunk away from the walls of the container as though it were dessicated. The gyro meat was in small shreds, as though the cook were trying to make the meat go further and the amount of gyro and lamb meat was at least 1/3 of what it used to be. Tomatoes used to be cut in wedges were now inconsistent, thin slices. And the onions weren't sliced anymore but diced small and dropped in a small patch of the tray. The BFG had a "weird flavor" as though something was old, but the pita was very good--and for the increased price, should have been better. As one who has been to Greece twice, I did used to enjoy a "taste of Athens" regularly, but the consistency issues are too much for a to-go order topping $77 with tip.

Getting that out of the way, they are about to do a massive renovation and totally transform the space. A quick chat with the manager I learned a lot about the plans for this restaurant and it's going to be incredible and I'm so happy that it is a part of the black moon family because man do they know how to make a good sandwich. You can pick up a coffee right next-door at broadcast coffee, the same people run it. In fact, the two suites are connected through a back entrance. I am happy with how this place currently is, but I am even more excited for the renovation and reopening. Yes, they only are serving lunch hours right now, but as they expand and grow and re-launch in the coming months, this is going to be an excellent addition to the Boise community. I ordered the turkey pesto, toasted without mustard and it was delicious. It has sun-dried tomatoes pesto turkey mayonnaise served on a delicious house made bread. I would recommend to a friend, check them out.

For us at least, with a menu of maybe half a dozen Italian themed sandwiches using ciabatta or focacci, that is baked at Black Moon, in options for omnivore to vegetarians (roughly $12 - $15) and four salads and if you've enjoyed the great salads at Black Moon, you know these salads (roughly $7.50 - $9) will be too. My husband and I discovered Black Moon in early December 2023, not long after it opened, when it was not yet well known but we knew as soon as it was, it would be super popular and busy. Yep, that is true now. We think the same will be so for Anesso, with lines out the door once people know it is open for business. So a tip is go now to be "the first kid on your block" to try it without crowds. The only drawback for us is it is in downtown Boise and not closer to our house, so it is roughly 35 minutes from our front door to Anesso's counter, assuming we can find parking once we arrive, but it is so worth it for these sandwiches. Our plan is to eat our way through the menu.   CURRENT HOURS: Open M - F from 11a to 3p as they continue to work through new business stuff and then they plan to expand hours.  We arrived maybe 12:30'ish to find no line, we were surprised by that, but we hear it had been a busy hour before that and as soon as we ordered out sandwich to share, four others lined up behind us.  THE DRILL. Order at the counter from the digital menu handing over head that features half a dozen'ish sandwiches, all on their house baked focaccia or ciabatta with options for omnivores and vegetarians.  (The size is easily shareable and if you tell them you plan to do that, they will cut and wrap each half separately.)  They are still waiting on whatever certificate it is they need from the city to offer inside dining, the tables and chairs are stacked against the wall to be ready, so it is take-away only right now. Conveniently located adjacent to Cheri Buckner-Webb park, the urban park with the big pink tree sculpture, there are tables there to eat at or we were invited to take our sandwich next door to eat it inside Broadcast and since it was raining, we did that and enjoyed Broadcast's Americano with it. THE EATS: Our choice yesterday was to share the mortadella sandwich, with mortadella cut whisper thin as it should be, before piling it on the sandwich with house made pistachio pesto, to echo the pistachios in the mortadella, stracciatella cheese, arugula and pickled shallots on bread with a great chew and sturdy enough to hold up to the ingredients ($14.85).  As 'bonus', we have it on good authority of another happy Anesso customer eating inside Broadcast that the porchetta sandwich is the best he has ever had. ACCESSIBILITY: Level in off the sidewak / patio out front and all on one floor. Order counter is at accessible height. Without tables inside, there is lots of floor space for a wheelchair user to get to and from counter. I hope they'll continue that and ensure their tables are placed for ADA access needs and since they have done that at both Broadcast and Black Moon, it seems they will do it here too. NO PHONE NUMBER: This is true for Black Moon too but Black Moon has a website. Anesso doesn't, they use their insta page but Yelp requires a web address to post this and they will not accept the insta address. So I've inserted Black Moon, their sister, web page.

I had the French dip sandwich with a side of tomato basil soup. The sandwich was delicious and tasted homemade in the best way. The "meat" of the sandwich was seitan. I don't THINK it was a perfect meat replica (but I've never had a real French dip), but it was very flavourful. I loved the flavour and the thick cut of their bread, but it didn't have much structure and fell apart easily as I was eating which made the sandwich very messy. The tomato basil soup was a little different. It was slightly creamy but brothy and a little chunky - not a smooth puree. Again, it tasted great and was nice and light, which was a good contrast to the very rich sandwich. It was a little slow, especially considering they weren't that busy. I didn't really mind since I wasn't on a schedule, but this is something to be aware of - don't come here for a quick meal. Not cheap, but worth it for the quality.
