    Come on in!
    Dani S.

    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!

    One of the best coffee spots in Boise. The drinks are always smooth and high quality, the space is clean and modern, and the staff is super friendly. Perfect place to relax or get some work done. The staff here really make this place stand out--super friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do. They take the time to get your order right and make you feel like a regular. Great coffee and even better service.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Have you ever returned to a restaurant and think to yourself, "Why in the world have I not come…read moreback here sooner." That is the thought I had when we sat down at Moe Joe's. This place is phenomenal and seriously one of the best breakfast places in all of Idaho. I hesitate to say that because there can definitely be a wait because of its popularity, but facts are facts. My wife and I went to Moe Joe's for breakfast recently and man was it good. I ordered the chicken fried steak and was stunned at the amount of food. Where to start. The steak was incredibly tender and enormous. The homemade biscuit was flaky and perfectly baked. The sausage gravy was meaty and flavorful. And the crispy hashbrowns seemed to cover half the plate. Then there are the house-made jellies. Who does that and how can I get more! The service was prompt and friendly with a great wait staff that made everything easy. The vibe of the restaurant is "friendly neighborhood spot" and feels like home. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. These folks know how to do breakfast right and I cannot wait to go back.

Our server Audrey, deserves a medal -- total sweetheart, total pro, and unfazed by a swarm of kids. I went for the salted caramel banana bread French toast, and wow. Thought it wouldn't fill me up, but it absolutely did... plus I sampled half the table because everything looked too good not to. Marlene's Loaded Idaho Potato Nachos? Spicy, bold, and ridiculously tasty. Coffee? Strong and smooth. The prices were so low I thought they misprinted the menu, and then the portions came out and confirmed we'd officially scored. Of course it's our last day in Idaho and we finally find the best breakfast spot.

So, I don't weep for their need to re-evaluate but realize fans will be disappointed. If you have gift cards you can use them at St. Lawrence Gridiron or Rustica, two other Boise downtown restaurants with the same owners. From the letter on door: "As many know, there has been a significant slowdown in consumer spending, especially in restaurants starting late 2024. We've done our very best to keep prices in line with what makes sense to cover costs and provide full benefits for our amazing staff," the letter said. "However, with sales down across all entities this year, we must re-evaluate our operations and make the necessary difficult decisions to be a sustainable business. Also, for the first time in many years, we recently lost two key people in our organization, and they both were a large part of what made Wild Root special. Last, we are heading into the slower, winter months. Instead of scrambling to keep the doors open, we are going to shut it down to evaluate everything."

I came here for a late lunch around 2 pm after arriving in Boise. They weren't crowded at this point but business wasn't dead either. My waitress was very friendly. Inside has a lived-in, intimate feel, but it was pretty dark, so much that I wasn't sure they were actually open as I was opening the door. 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.
