Come on in!

Came to Form and Function this morning for a meeting. This was my first visit to this coffee joint. Walking in, I noticed how clean and pretty it looked! I love the brightness and simplicity of the coffee shop. It has two levels with seating upstairs. There were pretty flowers on some of the tables in coffee cups. I thought that that was such a fun to display flowers. I ordered an iced mocha today. They also offer breakfast and pastries. The pastries looked delicious! I only stuck with the coffee. I do look forward to coming back and trying some of their baked goods. My coffee was good. I probably should have asked for a little more chocolate. It could have been a little sweeter so I added a couple packets of sugar. But overall it was a great cup of coffee. I had a really good meeting at this venue today. It was nice to see all the locals out and about this Saturday morning! I look forward to coming back and having another cup of coffee.

Staff was super friendly. I was greeted when I walked in, didn't feel rushed, the food/coffee came out quickly. I ordered the pistachio mocha with their homemade cashew milk. Super rich. I also got the egg & toast. It was a buttered piece of sourdough bread with a soft boiled egg on top. That's all I need - simple and good - lots of fresh cracked pepper on it. I thought this place was super cute!

All-day breakfast burrito

Coffee tasted great and would recommend, however I would not suggest some hot foods. The burrito I got was deceiving compared to their photos. They microwave a pre-made burrito as well as their bacon.

Avacado toast with coffee
Neha G.

I really liked the small size of coffee which is apt for the price (no point of paying 3 more bucks and wasting that half cup of coffee). I got a cappuccino and avacado toast. Avacado toast- sourdough bread was good but only part was it was TOO much salted. On the website they say they use black Hawaiian Lava salt, which is great but too much can't be handled. Assuming their toast have good reviews maybe it was one time only. Reducing one star for taste but overall good place. Wi-Fi availability and cool vibes.

Coffee flight: house drip, piccolo (small latte), espresso
Jana H.

When a coffee shop has a coffee flight, that is usually a good sign. Form & Function did not disappoint! Very good coffee if you are just wanting good espresso and a great spot to rest and hang for awhile with a super nice upstairs loft area. I'm assuming their other drinks are good as well! The flight came with espresso, piccolo (small latte), and house drip. The espresso was pulled really well and had great flavor. We also ordered a breakfast burrito, which was really tasty (just a little too much tortilla in some places). Would absolutely go again and absolutely recommend.

Great service. Delicious coffee & treats. Sat upstairs with my besties. 5 star experience!

tldr; Decent coffee. This shop is down the street from my place in Boise. It has a small coffee shop vibe, and serves passable cappuccinos and other espresso drinks. The pastries are hit or miss, and are sometimes on the verge of stale. As a regular pastry lover - the inconsistency is a bit too much for my preferences. Although the pastries are likely delivered daily - there may be a problem with their storage or transportation that is contributing to gaps in freshness. Pastries are served on wood boards that are not large enough to hold the pastry. In general - the service feels distant and unwelcoming. Staff on busy and slow days appear uninterested in customer engagement, or timeliness of orders. Drinks are left on the counter and announced by the drink name only (e.g., "Cappuccino!"). This leads to confusion during busy times - when multiple customers are waiting for the same drink - staff appears uninterested in resolving the confusion. On one occasion - while waiting to order - I observed staff use the same shaker to prepare a regular milk and oat milk drink without rinsing the shaker. The staff may require additional food safety training. Overall - not a bad place for a cup of coffee, but worth passing if you're in search of a warmer atmosphere or quality pastries.

Avocado toast and reverie coffee (special )

My coffee was great! The avocado toast was honestly terrible, way too salty. I ended up just taking everything off to eat the toast. I've never had an avocado toast I didn't like until now. Definitely disappointed as it was 2.5$ to add an egg.

Great little cozy cafe! The breakfast menu has some good variety and tastes super fresh. The staff are helpful & friendly. The coffee & cider were a perfect way to get our day started. Definitely recommend!

Lattes

What a delightful coffee shop! Stopped by Form & Function for the first time recently and I'm so glad I did! Form & Function offers a crisp, clean space with delicious coffee and delectable bites to boot. For my first visit, I ordered one of their seasonal lattes, which, with the season being Autumn, was a spice filled delight. The espresso is rich and smooth and they offer milk alternatives, so I was happy to have my latte made with almond milk. For a bite, I ordered their avocado toast which ranks as one of the best avocado toasts I've had anywhere--sliced fresh avocado, a beautiful sprinkling of black Hawaiian salt and seed blend, and a squeeze of lemon all over a slice of acme sourdough--seriously, does it get much better? It does. Because, they also offer the option of getting a soft boiled egg added to the mix. Yes, please and thank you. It was truly wonderful. The service was top notch, the prices are reasonable. They're a small shop but do have seating and while it does get busy, my dining companion and I were able to snag a table to leisure over our coffee. If you can get a table, it would be a decent enough spot to work from. Get to it!

Nonfat latte

I'm a stickler for good coffee and found this place via the source app which identifies craft coffee shops, download it if you're a snob like me. This place has solid, robust coffee, nice lighting and very friendly baristas. This is the premier coffee destination in Boise. Will be my third place.

Large table for groups upstairs!

From the very first time I walked into District Coffee in downtown Boise, I could tell this place…read morewas special. The staff are incredibly friendly, professional, and genuinely kind. What really stood out to me is that they greet you like they are truly happy to see you. Even on my first visit they made me feel welcome, and now every time I walk in they greet me like a familiar face and make me feel right at home. That kind of consistency and warmth is rare and says a lot about the people who work there. The space itself is fantastic. It is always spotless, the ambiance is relaxed, the music is great, and there are so many comfortable places to sit depending on your mood. Sometimes I relax on the couches, other times I grab a table or sit near the window and enjoy the view. They also have plenty of outdoor seating, which is perfect on sunny Boise days and makes it a great place to sit outside and enjoy the atmosphere. It is one of those places where you can easily spend time working, meeting someone, or just enjoying a great cup of coffee. They also have great food, which makes it even better whether you are stopping in for a quick bite or staying a while. Everything I have tried has been fresh and really good. You can also tell that management cares about both their employees and their customers. When a place is run well it shows through the staff, the atmosphere, and the overall experience, and District Coffee absolutely delivers. I am new to Boise and this is one of the first places I recommend when someone asks where to get great coffee or find a comfortable place to spend some time. I have also had great experiences at their other locations. Boise is lucky to have them.

I have been to the District a handful of times now and I'm in love with their chai. They seriously…read morehave the best chai here! Highly recommend! But, I really wanted to comment about how great the staff has been. After recently getting my new kidney, I have to be so careful about germs. And unfortunately, I can't use the straws and lids that they have out for everyone. I have asked if they can kindly put a lid and straw in for me after they make my drink and a majority of the staff has! I have had a few not so friendly stares when I asked but the majority of the staff have been so kind. I appreciate the extra step and the longevity of my new kidney does too. A small gesture like this goes a long ways and I am so grateful to those who have helped me out.

My co workers rave about this little coffee joint so of course I had to make my way in. I had some…read moretime in between my client and needed a little pick me up, a caffeinated beverage was a must. This little shop is down the alley way so it was a quick walk there. I almost passed this joint walking right by it. It's a smaller venue so I'm glad they had a big J on the door, it caught my eyes when I was almost walking past it. Walking in, I see my boss enjoying her drink! I knew it was at the right place when I saw her! The barista let me chat for a minute before I got to ordering. For my usual, I grabbed a small iced americano with room for cream. I totally spaced on asking for any sugar free options so but biggie! My drink came out delicious! It was perfectly made with the right amount of ice, espresso and cream. I added a couple blue packets of sugar and it was perfect. It was just what I needed! The venue is very bright and inviting. It is smaller but small isn't bad, it's more intimate. I love how simple this place is, not a lot of distractions. I found another great coffee joint downtown to add to my favorite list. I look forward to coming back and grabbing another drink.
