The inside was cozy, and had a large 'dining' room. Unfortunately for me, I was in a bit of a rush; I wish I could have taken a a moment and drank my coffee here as it seems like a great place to do so. There is a nook in the ordering area filled with cool little goodies to peruse while you wait to order/receive your coffee. They roast their own beans here, which is always exciting to me as I love to try new and hard to reach (from Phoenix, AZ) coffee! I absolutely enjoyed my latte, it was not overly sugary or milky. It was coffee forward and the brown sugar paired well with it. If, or when, I visit Boise again, this is where I will be stopping by first!

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.

I felt very at home here since I was traveling. I loved sitting at the bar area with plug ins for my computer so I was able to work here for an hour or so. The cute cardboard design on their cups was fun. The matcha latte was reasonably priced and had nice flavor. The bathrooms are in the back hallway. The pastry case was full but I was headed to dinner so I didn't try any. This is a great stop if you want to sit with their free WiFi, or grab it to go and feel hip walking around downtown Boise!

Form & Function in downtown Boise has quickly become one of my favorite coffee spots. The staff are…read moregenuinely friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they take pride in the place. The shop is always clean and has a really comfortable atmosphere whether you're stopping in briefly or planning to stay awhile. One of the highlights is the upstairs seating area. It's cozy, bright, and overlooks the downstairs dining area, which gives it a great feel and makes it a perfect place to sit with a coffee or get some work done. They also have nice outdoor seating, especially on sunny days, which adds to the whole downtown Boise experience. The food has been consistently good and everything I've tried has been fresh. What really stands out is the management. It's very impressive and clearly shows in the staff, the attention to detail, and the overall experience. I'm still getting to know Boise, but this is definitely one of the places I recommend downtown for great coffee and a comfortable place to spend some time!

The shop offers house roasted coffee beans and merchandise. My dad buys their house "bright eye" beans every week for our coffee machine at home. Pastries selection is great but I wish they all inside the closed displayed so they all not dry and no fly landed to any of them. I know it's early but I love it when employees/ baristas greet us/customers "good morning"! They never smile and I feel like they had a rough night? And I never understood why My barista always ignored my request every time I ask them to make my latte extra hot and no foam/flat. I don't need any fancy milk art, just simply make my latte xtra hot.

We enjoyed our coffee with unlimited refills and took a booth where you can people watch and we could see the capitol building. Friendly staff and good coffee. I appreciate the variety of baked goods and even the discounted day old items. Good place to grab a coffee when you don't have much time. Loved the artwork on display too. Several little tables here and booths and one larger table. My quiche was good. Everything I expected and I got the day old banana bread which was dried up and hard on the edges and soft in the middle. I guess that's why they discount it. After a day it doesn't hold up too long.

Definitely stop by this café if you're looking for a cozy place to grab a quick breakfast or snack.

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.

I had the worst customer service experience here this morning. My husband and I came in planning to…read moreenjoy our coffee and the atmosphere, but the experience was disappointing from the start. We walked in and weren't even greeted. Honestly, we should have turned around and left right then. But we've been here many times before, so I gave the two workers the benefit of the doubt. We ordered our drinks and asked for them to be for here. I also got a scone. We waited 10 to 15 minutes while people who came in after us received their drinks first, and the shop wasn't busy. My husband eventually went up to ask about our order. The response we got was basically, "OK, we'll make it," with no apology or acknowledgment of the oversight. We finally received our drinks about 25 minutes after ordering, and they were in to-go cups even though we clearly asked for them to be for here. At that point it felt like a sign that we should just leave, so we did. If I could go back, I would have left the moment we weren't greeted. Unfortunately, this was a really disappointing experience to start our Sunday morning.

Very simple coffee shop--not a lot of fuss, but excellent coffee. I went for an Americano and it was amazing. I also had a cheddar and egg breakfast sandwich, it was good--but I had food envy of my husband's burrito. The staff was friendly and helpful. The shop had limited indoor seating but was quiet and peaceful. It will definitely be my first coffee stop on my next trip.
