The decor is really beautiful and has a lot of seating. I even loved that there was a couch outside. I ordered a bagel and a seasonal latte. I really enjoyed my bagel. Unfortunately, the lemon latte wasn't really for me, but I'm still glad I tried it! Understandably, I think the barista who served me might've not wanted to work on a holiday and was a bit short with me. That being said, the service was good overall.

I am a frequent customer of the state Boise location, but this is my first visit to the overland…read morelocation. This location is considerably smaller than the state location, not to mention, hidden away in the center. It still has a homey vibe with leather couches, rustic tables and a beautiful wooden bar top area. There were two employees hustling the best they could with a consistent steady line of customers. With this location being smaller, it does get a little cluttered at the ordering register. Unfortunately, my favorite bagel egg sandwich was not available as they were out of egg patties by 11am. At least the Asiago bagels were available and I bumped it up with herb cream cheese. Also got an iced Mexican mocha. Food and drinks did take a while longer to come out, understandably so. I will say that the Mexican mocha was incredibly well balanced and flavorful...much better than the state location. The bagel was toasted, but the outside was a little burnt. The smear of cream cheese was a lot...so much so, that I had to get a knife and take over half of it off (note to self: easy cream cheese or on the side when ordering). Seating outside was nice but the patio was small. Tough to seat 4 people inside when 2 people take the only 4-seater table to work.

It was also a lot more spacious than I expected. I ordered a matcha (my very first ever!) and it was so delicious! I got it with a vanilla cold foam on top and 10/10 would get it again. I also ordered a breakfast sandwich on croissant bread and it was so delicious! I love that the breakfast sandwiches are made to order and not pre-packaged and heated up. I will definitely be back even if it's just by myself to get some work done.

I especially loved the creative artwork throughout the shop--it adds so much character to the experience. I'll definitely be back

I will put my words in concrete to let everyone know that this coffee joint has the best Chai and staff, hands down! You can't compete with this shop. They are always on point. Thank you to the two baristas working last Saturday afternoon(7.25). The both of them took such good care of me. They were kind about getting me a non communal lid and straw. I have to be so careful with germs and my new kidney. No hesitation, they provided me what I needed to be safe. Your kindness speaks volumes! And I appreciate you so much for it! I look forward to another chai breve soon! Especially with Fall coming up. That Chai is going to hit different! It's going to be so great!

I love their downtown location. It's right across the street from the salon I work at. The scene is so chill and they push out great drinks. I assumed that this joint would be the same. I love this little drive thru joint. It's so cute and dainty. Pulled up to the window and was greeted by the sweetest smile. She gave me a minute to go over the drink options. They have a big QR code right when you pull up so you can check out their menu. They also have a huge menu at the window as well. I always get the same 3 drinks so I went with my small iced americano with sugar free vanilla with room for cream. I can hear my drink being worked on while I waited. The grinding the the beans. The mixing of my espresso and cream back and forth from each cup. That's one thing I appreciate about this joint, they took the time to mix my ingredients all together. My drink was the perfect shade of brown. Taking that first sip, it was balanced in cream, espresso and sweetness. I pulled around and noticed on the other side of the stand was a couple tables to chill at. I parked and hung outside for a bit. I adore the little set up they have! The fake grass, the strung upped lights and the cool van. It's a cool set up even if it's the one middle of the parking lot. What a creative way to add some seating to the spot. District Coffee pushes out great coffee, especially their chai. Some of the best chai in town! It's good to know they have this stand here on this end of town. It's conveniently off Overland with easy access in and out. I enjoyed my visit here today and I look forward to my next caffeinated beverage the next time I'm in this area.

Quick take: Yes, decent espresso…read more Coffee Snob Version: First some background to be fair. I buy and roast my own beans and tried beans from all over the world. I have an Excel file full of roasting profiles per bean with what worked and what was less good. I tend to like African and Asian beans. I have use the same Breville machine for 15 years, drink espresso and espresso based drinks exclusively. Yes I would consider myself a coffee snob. I live around the corner from here and have meant to come try them for a while. I was sick a few weeks ago so missed two roasting Fridays, I roasts every Friday and ran out of my own beans. As you know if you are reading the Coffee Snob version, Sbux disappoints, so hey... perfect opportunity to try here! What to try... curious to know about their beans, I ordered a Dopio and an Americano. The Dopio lets me experience just the bean, the Americano what it tastes like dilluted, the flavor can change a bit. The Americano also tells me how much water they add. I tend to make mine with equal parents espresso and water, there is an actual name for this that eludes me at the moment. What was odd was that as they pulled the double espresso shot, there was an unusual volume of crema on top, I actually saw the Barista dump some of the crema off before pouring the remainder in my cup. This is caused by a few things but beans that are too recently roasted is a primary cause. Freshly roasted means usually need at least a week to off as the carbon dioxide in the beans. All that crema was likely CO2 relates, so if anything would have made the shot undrinkablly bitter... And the Barista seemed to know this! I have had beans that needed a month to stabilize. One day it's sharp and bitter, as if by magic, the flavor has changed entyrly and is wonderful! The flavor of the Dopio would tend to support this as it was on the sharp side. That sharpness came through in the Americano which was full to the brim. The fix is simple, I add a small amount of whipped cream and swirl it in. When I get a less than ideal roast at home, this is the fix. I'm certain milk based drinks, cappuccino, breve, etc would overcome this easily. Will I go back, if I am out of beans, definitely, but now I know to add a bit of whipped cream!

Unfortunately, the person who helped us was rude when asked their personal opinion on certain drinks. The drinks itself were very bitter and had no flavor.

I wish we could have had a better experience here.

There were still a good amount of pastries to choose from as well. The lighting wasn't the greatest but I think that's to allow for more natural light to come through so I can't argue with that at all. The coffee I purchased was an iced mocha and it tasted delicious. It was very rich and vibrant. The cookie was good too; not too dry and not crumbling. One thing I did not purchase but I want to point out was that they had almond flour cookies available which are a great alternative for anyone on paleo or keto. Just overheard an employee saying the air conditioning will be back up and running soon but I didn't even notice because the temperature isn't too warm at all. Great local place to visit; would come again if I lived here.

The baklava was a bit too sweet for me compared to others that I've had. The blackberry lemon tart was perfectly balanced and just the right size to satisfy my sweet tooth. My favorite part of the experience was my spiced tea latte. Perfectly balanced with spices and milk. Would probably be my addiction if I lived in Boise.

Everything looked and seemed amazing, so I was excited to try this place. However that's where the positive ends. My kid got the chocolate mousse tart, after eating most of it, he said it tasted funny toward the bottom. Then later he said his stomach didn't feel good. This was followed by nausea and a few trips to the bathroom. He kept saying he shouldn't have ate that chocolate thing. My wife and I tried the other berry tart, while the wife said it was good, I was not a fan. The mocha lacked any chocolate flavor whatsoever and the coffee was bitter, while the milk was overheated. The desserts/pastries all had a little bit of an odd taste, even the baklava. Overall we just weren't fans and didn't understand what the hype was about, unless it was just how visually appealing everything was, the modern ambiance and the great customer service. Well that's this critic's review, until next time, I'll be eating.
