    Mango slush with mixed boba and mango raspberry slush with mixed boba
    Shannon C.

    If you are looking for a good boba spot look no further. I had a mango raspberry slushy with a boba mix and it was delicious! We also tried the green waffle which is now my new favorite. I would come here just for that. Crispy on the outside with a light mochi texture on the inside filled with boba. So good! We asked a lot of questions and they were all met with a smile and suggestions on what to try. Very clean and organized on the inside along with a decent amount of space. Can't wait to try more items on their menu.

    Jasmine milk tea with classic boba

    I am super "happy" about the opening of this boba tea shop and the fact that it's so close to my house! I have visited a couple of times now and love the diverse number of teas available on the menu. I'm more of a milk-based tea drinker myself and typically opt for a classic oolong or jasmine milk tea with boba. Did I mention they also sell waffles and yogurt-based drinks? The best thing about their tea-based drinks is that they're brewed from real tea and they do not use pre-made powder mixtures. They also sell milk teas with salt cheese toppings, coffee-based drinks (like Vietnamese coffee), and fruit smoothies. As for interior, Happy Boba is very spacious and the staff members are super friendly. There are some comfy couches inside and plenty of seating to go around. I'm already planning the next visit and definitely recommend going if you're a new or old boba tea fan. Thank you, Happy Boba! :)

    If you like Boba and other tea based drinks, be sure to check out Happy Boba. This family owned business is one of my three favorite Boba shops in the Treasure Valley. Aside from the tea, which they get from Taiwan (if you know, you know), they're making everything from scratch. They even cook Taro root for their Taro tea, which is a customer favorite. I ordered a large Classic Milk Tea with Boba ($6.55) on my way to Star. It was perfection! It took every ounce of willpower to refrain from stopping to get another drink on the way back. Next time, I'm trying the Taro Tea. The menu includes Vietnamese coffee, Green/ Pandan Waffles, and some toppings that most Boba shops in this area don't have on their menus: salted cheese, egg pudding, and grass jelly. Bonus: The last weekend of each month, they have a few house made Vietnamese desserts available at specials, such as 3 Che and Grass Jelly. Highly Recommended!!!

    Had to stop by our favorite boba spot before our long trip! Left to right: *Oolong Milk Tea *Taro Milk Tea With Salted Cheese & Egg Pudding *3 Classic Milk Teas With Boba *2 Thai Iced Tea With Boba *Iced Strawberry & Lychee Green Tea. Definitely try their delicious Green Waffle! Crispy on the outside and warm Pandan mochi consistency inside!

    Classic milk tea with boba

    This is now my favorite boba shop in Idaho!!! I will not be going ANYWHERE else. As someone who grew up with a huge Asian food presence growing up, I can be pretty picky when it comes to boba. However, happy boba has some of Idaho's best authentic boba! The taste of the boba is present, the texture of the boba is not too chewy or soft, and the tea is flavorful. I've tried the fruit and milk teas and are both really good! I also love the green waffles (or all of them really) because they are so crispy but can be made soft too! I will be coming here all of my days until I go back to school! :) Shoutout to the lovely people working here! They are so kind! I hope the business prospers!

    By far the best and only boba place we come to in Idaho. Excellent customer service. They make everything fresh. No powders. The tea is brewed in filtered water. And love that they have options without artificial colors! So many good drinks but one that's off the menu that I love is golden/jasmine milk tea.

    Pandan green waffle
    Samantha H.

    We come here all the time and today was their 1 year anniversary and they had a celebration and gave us free egg rolls! They're honestly so delicious and awesome here, the team is super nice, and I STRONGLY recommend the pandan waffle we get here every time! We crave it regularly because it's so good haha we come all the way from Meridian just for this place because they do it right without fail, seriously!

    Finally a place that takes me back to the good boba spots back in the Bay Area You have to try the green waffle! *Chefs kiss* The milk teas are really good too. Great variety and probably the only boba shop around that carries Jasmine Milk Tea (my fave)! Happy Boba will be my new go-to for the best boba!

    taro boba w oat milk!
    Loren P.

    This place is legit! Everything is made from scratch, no powder. I ordered the oat milk taro tea with boba which is cooked down from actual taro in house. I'm vegan and boba can be hard to find, but they have all the good non dairy milks and can make it as sweet/not sweet as you want. Service is excellent and the atmosphere is great! This is def my new go to boba place in Boise!

    I am super happy to find out this boba place just open not long ago and they have green waffle!!! We got Vietnamese coffee, green waffle(pandan leaf waffle) & mixed Vietnamese dessert drink(red bean/grass jelly/taro in coconut milk). Can't wait till they got the pandan jelly end of this month. Must try!! It's authentic!

    Fantastic coffee shop! It's buzzing on the weekends so seating can be hard to find during peak…read morehours. The service is quick and friendly! I loved the vibes of the place, too. I picked up a croissant and it was yummy. Definitely recommend checking this place out!

    Two enterprising young women are owners of this gem of a popular West Bench neighborhood gathering…read morespot that they created in what was an old dump of a 1950's era strip mall space and funded in part with crowd sourcing. Being curious since they opened this in Fall'ish 2024 and finding myself in the neighborhood, this was a destination stop for my husband and me when we went in about 11:30 on a weekday for coffee and a nosh. Pride of ownership shines in the clean and funky feeling interior and it is clearly popular because it was full, almost every seat, of people that seemed from the neighborhood, including a number of parents with young children. They advertise this as coffee and market, but I honestly didn't notice the market part, in that things for sale didn't jump out at me. That may have been because I was just trying to navigate to a seat in and out in the crowded space. THE MO: Coffee and the limited menu for food is ordered at the counter, carry to your seat and bus your own when finished. Although we were the only people at the counter and there were two people in the kitchen, it took quite some time for someone to come to take the order, although once someone finally saw us, they were pleasant, if not welcoming, in taking the coffee order and then again when my hubby went back to order pastries to go with it. MENU: Coffee, other beverages and a very small option of eats is listed behind the counter and on a paper menu there. Options included soup of the day and Gaston's bakery pastries. There were some breakfast sandwiches by local provider Poppyseed Bakery in the fridge section, we weren't told about them but seeing them when passing by the fridge on a trip to the loo, asked if they could be heated and were told they could be. We chose a couple of pastries ($5.50 each) and were reminded why we seldom buy Gaston's products for being too buttery and one note. The cortado ($4) were good. I noticed a woman at the table across from us who was sipping a beverage and eating what looked like a sandwich she had carried in. I don't know if that is part of allowable stuff or not. The pottery used for all of their coffee service, ours and the mugs at other tables, is great. AMBIANCE: They did an admirable job here of making this light and bright and just funky enough with pride of ownership and loving care in maintenance sparkling through. Seating includes a few level in, not step up, booths along one wall, a sofa and chairs near the front and many standard height tables and chairs (maybe too many when all full as getting to seat is tough) and a play area for kids in the corner. It had far less comfortable 'breathing room' space than I anticipated from photos. But I didn't take interior photos to post because I think it is rude to do that when lots of people are going to be in them who maybe don't want to be. ;-) LOO: There are two and both are uni and sparkling clean with great murals on the wall and good plumbing fixtures. My husband even pointed out the "cool" sink. Both are ADA compliant so kudos to them for that. (Yes, it is law and code but you'd be astounded by how many ignore both.) ACCESSIBILITY: One ADA parking spot right outside the door. (There are too few spots for the parking lot but that is not the coffee shop owners' failure. That is the lot owner's issue.) Level in the door. All on one floor. The tables would probably work for a wheelchair user to roll under. But it would be near impossible, based on my experience yesterday (I have had multiple sclerosis since age 20 and sometimes use a wheelchair) for a wheelchair user to get between tables and chairs for a clear path of travel to get to seating or the loo.

    I've been excited for this place to open, although I'll admit I'll always miss Mel and Coffee &…read moreSupply, so coming here felt a little bittersweet at first. That said, Form & Function really does bring something fresh to Eagle. The vibe is modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed without feeling cold. I also think they have the biggest alt milk selection of any local coffee shop I've been to, and I've tried basically all of them around here. Their seasonal drinks are consistently good too. One underrated thing? They're one of the only coffee shops in Eagle actually open on Sundays and open later into the afternoon. That's surprisingly rare around here. (Yes, Eagle Coffee & Bakery is open too, but their coffee always tastes burnt to me.) This place clearly thought about how people actually use coffee shops. Tons of seating options, lots of outlets, side tables that work well for laptops, a big upstairs group table, plus a little play kitchen and games for kiddos. The downstairs can get a little loud because of the high ceilings, but it's still way calmer than most busy cafés. Everything is super clean, including the bathrooms, which honestly matters more when you have kids. One of my favorite little routines now is grabbing a coffee here and taking my daughter over to Stephen Guerber Park afterward.

    I had the opportunity to meet the owner of Form and Function recently and he told me about their…read morenewest location in Eagle. I have had the pleasure of checking out their downtown locations, especially their location at the Sparrow. It's such a great vibe down there! After finding out that this location is right down the road from me, you know I had to make my way in. I came in later in the morning so it was pretty chill. The venue is bright and simple. I love the simplicity of everything. The walls aren't over decorated. The tables and chairs and nicely spaced, the big windows give such great bright lightening and there's wonderful outdoor seating available too. I initially was on the wrong end of the counter. I finally realized and made my way to the register. I wasn't greeted by a barista. She wasn't the friendliest but she wasn't rude, she was there. She got my order squared away and I just hung out till it was ready. While waiting, I did notice all the goodies they had available. The baked goods looked fresh and yummy. I do believe they have a chia seed pudding in the little refrigerated case, it looked good. I'll have to grab some chia seed pudding the next time I'm in! I got myself something different from my normal americano. Today's drink was an iced matcha with almond milk. I did ask for some sugar free syrup. The few couple drinks I have gotten from the two other locations were Chai so it's good to know about not having sugar free syrups as an option. The barista did offer me honey or maple syrup as an alternative. I took up on her suggestion for the honey. My drink looked fabulous. It was rich in color. I really like the ice they serve here, it's great ice to chew on. I do like my coffee/tea to be slightly sweeter so I did end up adding a couple packets of blue sugar to my drink. I did a good few sips before I added the extra sweetner. It was hearty in matcha and you can taste the creaminess of the almond milk. The honey was there but the added sweetener did help enhance the honey. I enjoyed the nice weather today and had my drink outside. They have quite a few options for outdoor seating. Picnic tables, a few andorak chairs and a pint size picnic table for kids were available. I appreciate the big umbrellas at the picnic tables. It gave nice shade. In the space between the coffee shop and the boutique next door is where a lot of the seating is. It's quite charming and relaxing. I adore the strung up lights. I couldn't really enjoy them today since it was so bright out but I can imagine it being a great way to end day in a fall day. A hot cup of coffee, sitting in a huge andorak chair under the lights. It's great to know this local coffee joint is right down the road from me. I have always gotten great drinks from the other Form and Functions so it's nice to have this location as an option. My drink was good and it was nice being able to enjoy it under a huge umbrella today. I do wish the staff was a little friendlier. I came later in the day so my mood is already set. I couldn't imagine having the people working today start my day. I wouldn't be in the best mood. Hopefully the customer service will be a pleasant as my drink the next time around.

It was a casual place, and the woman at the bar explained all there was to know about Kava, including that my taste expectations shouldn't be too high, as it's a very "earthy" flavor. I would say it's a bit more than earthy. It's strong-flavored, but the affects hit me within minutes!! My tongue went numb and a wave of relaxation washed over me....reminiscent of Xanax, lol. We had to wait it out a little bit before driving home, especially me...I felt very sleepy after drinking the whole cup. It's definitely very relaxing, but not a drink that you would crave. It's kind of something you have to do quickly to get to the relaxing part. Don't try and sip it...just drink it down and suck on the pineapple. That's the best way to do it. We bought four containers of the stuff to take home with us, because we thought it would help us sleep better at night, and it definitely is, but I wouldn't do it too close to bedtime or you'll have to wake up to pee. All in all, interesting experience, for sure. Before this, I had not known much about Kava, so it was definitely worth doing. Will likely be back!

I usually just get the unlimited refill cup and drink from one of their mugs while I work for a bit. Where this place really shines is the baked goods and breakfast food. You can smell everything being made from their little kitchen, and it feels genuinely homemade in a way most coffee shops don't anymore. Their molasses cookies are somehow available year-round and I'm not exaggerating when I say if they're sold out, my day takes a turn. The quiche Lorraine is also legitimately excellent with a buttery crust, and they usually have a surprisingly good variety of gluten-free baked goods too. One thing I oddly appreciate: no music and no giant café chaos. Also no plugs, so this isn't the place to camp for 6 hours on a laptop. But if I need a quiet spot to answer emails or get 1-1.5 hours of work done without distraction, this is actually one of my favorite places to go.
