Bill and Elaine are wonderful and very welcoming to everyone who enters. They keep food and drink preparation to the highest standards. Elaine prepares some wonderful pastries and Bill works the grill like a master. The smoothies and hot chocolate are delicious and I understand from friends the coffee is also. I highly recommend this as a place to meet and relax with friends. A Bistro in every sense of the word. read more

First off the owner is a jerk I'm sitting in there studying because the library was closed and he kicked me out because I ordered and drank my coffee and threw my cup away and I tried explaining to him I'm studying and I already ordered and drank my coffee and he said I don't care I'm the owner read more

Driving through we made the detour to Gate City Coffee and it was worth the detour! The coffee was excellent and so was the service! The seating was wonderful and comfortable that we stayed longer than planned it was so nice. read more

Coffee was okay but pastry unfortunately was pricey and blah Quite disappointed although owners and staff were very friendly read more

Sweet little ambience in the heart of downtown really friendly staff, owners, and great coffee. Perfect spot to meet someone or business or casual visit. read more

We stopped by here on our way to Yellowstone to grab some snacks before we headed back on the road. I was planning on ordering the pumpkin spice latte since it is fall, but switched to hot apple cider when I saw another customer ordering it. The hot apple cider was delicious and not too sweet. We also ordered a blueberry scone that was baked by the owner's wife Elaine. The scone was like no other scones I've tasted. This one was moist and soft. It tasted more like a soft baked blueberry cookie. I wish we had bought more than one! It was not very sweet and was such a nice afternoon treat! The owner Bill and his wife Elaine were very nice people. They opened this business earlier this year in June and did a beautiful job creating a cozy atmosphere for their customers to sit down and enjoy a beverage and treats. I definitely recommend this coffee shop! read more

Was in town visiting family and was told to go to Gate City Coffee. What a gem!! Oh if only these old walls could talk as it's located in a historic downtown building with some of the original ceiling features. Giving it a beautiful ambience, making a person feel cozy while sitting in the leather chairs. Bill is a great host and took his time to get to know you. We had the French Dip sandwiches, highly recommend them, with a very fine glass of wine from Italy. The coffee was very good as well. When we're in town again will definitely go back. Thank you Bill and staff.. read more

One of my favorite places here. Room for improvement I could only think about better parking options for out of town folks, but there is one space right around the corner. Overall I think it is a good and relaxed place to have a cup of coffee and a breakfast sandwich with friends. Sandwiches could be cheaper a bit , but I like the ambiance and just another not chain, but authentic place. Wish there was something similar in American Falls. We have Morning Wood Brew which is good and people are friendly, but their coffee tastes somewhat different. So overall I am very pleased with this place. read more

This is a great little hole in the wall that is bigger than you think. We were created the moment we walked in the door and it wasn't crazy busy so they had our coffee ready as fast as we paid! The coffee isn't too strong and the syrups were just the great amount! I nabbed the sausage sandwhich and it didn't let me down. I kinda wish it was a real biscuit but it wasn't too bad and my friend nabbed the cinnamon roll for desert and I had to smell it all day. Torturous! So glad we stopped by while in town and hope to stop by again if we roll back through! read more

This is our go-to spot when in town. Very clozy place with a great vibe. The staff is always warm and friendly and the drinks are always perfect. read more

Stopped here twice on our way through Pocatello. Lattes were excellent. Nice atmosphere with plenty of places to sit. Sunday must have been game day as there was a table of chess players, another with a card game. Definitely worth getting off the interstate for it. read more

Once again Excellent !! Coffee and sandwich dinner just delicious !! Fast hot and very tasty !! read more

What a fabulous coffee shop! Best matcha latte I've ever had. Cozy seating areas, super friendly staff and overall awesome vibe.

Friendly local coffee shop in the heart of old downtown. They drape open until the evening which is great. Charming vintage style decor, lots of comfy seating with plenty of outlets. I also enjoyed browsing their gift shop with a variety of cool locally made items. I was hoping for a snack bit they only have breakfast sandwiches and pastries at this time. I ordered the strawberry lemonade - it was good and refreshing for the summer day while shipping downtown. I'd totally visit again! read more

I visited for a third time recently and have to say I'm disappointed at how crowded the gift area has gotten. I hope it doesn't take away from the lovely coffee drinks and teas! Also...those low tables? They're horrible. Uncomfortable for any adult over 5'4" and the chairs do not slide on the rugs so getting up and down from one is an exercise in concentrated coordination. Perhaps the low tables exist to keep people moving through and leaving with their coffees--but, please rethink them. read more

Great atmosphere and the friendliest people! I'm here every day! Won't go anywhere else. They make a true cappuccino just the way I want it, consistently. Lots of fun and quality gifts available including made in Idaho items from local people. read more

Very nice and renovated cafe space. Latte was perfect and the atmosphere was good. The scones and cookies were made fresh in the morning. Fast internet and comfortable chairs. Welcoming to sit and work on the laptop. Location in old town is convenience. The opening times are also very good - 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. when I came. Good selection of coffee-related things to buy (mugs, tea makers, etc.) and also Pocatello-related knick-knack items. There is a long "working table" (high table) in the back which is good for working. read more

Gate City Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pocatello, Idaho

Friendly service, but probably the worst espresso I've ever had. My americano tasted metallic and over extracted. They charge an extra dollar for larger 20oz vs 12oz for an americano. The barista informed both drinks have two espresso shots. A dollar for additional water is outrageous and not the normal for coffee shops. read more

Was passing through Pocatello. Not impressed with Gate City. Ordered an Americano hot which was delivered sort of warm. Not bitter but lacked any real flavors. Kind of muddy. Not a good value. Must be better coffee places in Pocatello. read more

We came from San Francisco and can I say I wish this was in my city because it's amazing! Really good quality and the service was very nice. :) read more

Cozy place with a great menu of drinks. I ordered a London Fog, which was one of the best I've ever had. Super friendly and chill, I really loved this casual yet upscale vibe. I can't wait to go back! read more

If I could leave less than one star for this review, I would. Passing through Pocatello and needed a cup of coffee, saw that this place was highly recommended so opted to leave the interstate to try out the coffee. Arrived about an hour before the posted closing time, asked for an Americano. The baristas were in the process of cleaning the machine and their body language was clear that this would be an imposition on their evening. Rather than press the issue I asked if they had a black drip coffee available...you know, the basic shit you would expect in a coffee shop. The again reluctantly indicated that they had already poured the coffee out for the night. While this place has potential, the staff are horrible and I would not recommend wasting time and/or resources on this place. Sadly, Starbucks is still the best option in Pocatello. read more

Bill, the owner, hopes to become the best coffee spot in Pocatello. After going to Gate City Coffee for the first time, I would say he is off to a great start! The coffee is amazing and they have something for everyone. Also, if you love restored buildings and interior design in general, you'll love hanging out here. read more
