The plating is also very well thought out and was on theme without being overly done. A touch of culture, jazz and class. Except for Guy Fieri being on the wall. Haha. As for the taste of everything. The baklava was a bit too sweet for me compared to others that I've had. The blackberry lemon tart was perfectly balanced and just the right size to satisfy my sweet tooth. My favorite part of the experience was my spiced tea latte. Perfectly balanced with spices and milk. Would probably be my addiction if I lived in Boise. The many awards and praises are displayed on the wall and all the goodies back up the reason why this place has had so much attention. Definitely worth checking out!

Thank goodness for living in a rainy city ..I had prepared all my life for this moment. When we…read morearrived, it was absolutely pouring, and being from the Pacific Northwest, we didn't think twice about waiting in line .As soon as the rain let up, though, the line grew dramatically, so we were glad we had stuck it out. The bakery itself is small, but the display case is anything but. It's packed with beautifully crafted pastries, each one more tempting than the last. Honestly, everything looked worth trying. We settled on the Rose Croissant and the Lox Croissant Sandwich, and both were excellent. The rose croissant was a standout with the rose flavor delicate yet present in every bite, which is rare for floral pastries. It never became overpowering or faded into the background or tasted artificial.The true star of the meal, however, was the lox croissant sandwich. It was absolutely stellar and one of the best savory pastries we've had in a long time.The coffee was just okay, but that was fine because the pastries completely stole the show. The staff worked quickly despite the steady stream of customers. There is a bit of seating both indoors and outdoors, although most people seemed to be taking their orders to go ,perhaps because of the weather. If you're visiting, come for the pastries. They're absolutely worth the wait.

Absolutely delicious pastries! We originally stopped by Janjou looking for coffee, but the coffee…read moreoptions are limited -- essentially black coffee or coffee with milk, with only cinnamon and sugar available as sweeteners (no flavored syrups). If you're like us and like specialty coffee flavors like salted caramel, lavender, honey, etc., this probably isn't the spot for your coffee fix. That said... the pastries are absolutely worth the visit! Everything we tried was beautifully made and delicious. Just a heads up: it gets very crowded and busy, so I'd recommend arriving early or going in with a little patience. It's not typically a quick grab-and-go stop, but the pastry treats make it worth slowing down for!

Located inside of the Chow Public Market, this cute coffee shop has a home feeling vibe to it…read more Inside, you'll find a bunch of locally made items from stickers to coasters to pillows to candles to chocolate snacks and more. I've tried two drinks while I was in town: Snickerdoodle latte and a regular latte. They're both really good! What I really like about this place is Angie (I hope I spelled your name right)! Angie's energy and friendly personality suckered me into trying a drink. I originally wasn't going to try anything as I was just looking for food at around 4pm, but she got me, haha. Yes, I stayed up super late due to drinking coffee but oh well! I'm so, so happy I did decide to try it out. Plus, it's local so why not?! You can adjust your sweetness level if you ask. They also offer smoothies, teas, and other specialty coffee related drinks. There's plenty of parking spaces as it's in the plaza where Edwards Cinema is. As always, don't forget to support local businesses and tip if you are able to.

To my surprise, there was one left so I snagged it! To my surprise, there were two cutie little donut holes in the bag. I ate them and they were so soft. I couldn't resist not having a bite of my husband's apple fritter. It was so good! One of the best ones in town. It was meant to be for me to be able to snag that last apple fritter. And even though it was later in the day, it was still very soft! It was a nice little snack for my husband and I. I definitely know where to go to get another apple fritter for an afternoon treat for my husband and I.

What a waste of money and disappointing. There wasn't even a dozen donuts.

I couldn't sleep last night so of course I decided to do some research on some local bakeries in…read moreour area. I am always down for something sweet! I have driven by this shop a million times but never got the chance to make it in. After checking out all their photos and goodies off their website, making my way in today was a must. The shop is very small and intimate. You are immediately greeted by all the goodies as soon as you walk in. Colorful macarons, the cutest cheesecakes and beautifully displayed scones and muffins. The display case is nice and bright, allowing you to be able to see the details and coloring of each macaron. The pretty piping on the cheesecake. The fun layers of the cakes. It was hard not to want one of each thing out of the case. It was our first visit for my daughter and I. As a new customer, you're trying to absorb everything about this store. You want to look at all your options! The gal that initially was going to help us pretty much just stood there and stared at us. Didn't really talk to us. Didn't ask if we had any questions. She had the most unpleasant look on her face. It honestly made me feel so unwanted and uncomfortable to be at the shop. I offered to let another customer go ahead of us so she wasn't just standing there waiting for us to order something. The second customer also needed some time. Finally a gentleman came in and she got him some coffee started. Another gal was working and she helped us. At that point, I was so turned off about getting anything but we were already there so we decided to grab a few things. My daughter and I decided to share a 6 pack of macarons. We snagged lemon, birthday cake, coffee, chocolate, creme brulee and cookies and cream as our flavor choices. She also got a red velvet cheesecake for us to share after dinner tonight. On our ride home, we broke that box of macarons open and had to try them all. The lemon was sweet and tangy, I love the lemon custard in the middle. Birthday cake reminds me of a pink frosted animal cookie. The chocolate was my favorite! Very chocolate forward and sweet. Coffee reminded me of a vanilla latte in cookie form. Cookies and cream was much like cookies and cream ice cream. More cream forward and less chocolate cookie. Creme brulee had sugar toasted on top which created a slight bitterness to the cookie but it was balanced with how sweet the cookie was. All 6 macarons were fabulous! I look forward to having the red velvet cheesecake after dinner tonight. I like that there are so many gluten free options at this bakery. I adore how petite and prettily decorated the pastries were. I appreciate that this joint is local as I love supporting local businesses. But, first impressions are so huge for me and my first impression of their customer service wasn't there for me. You can push out great products all you want but how you make someone feel during their purchase can make or break your business. As fantastic as my macarons were, all I can think about was how uncomfortable I was when I was just being stared at. Macarons and cheesecake can be purchased at a few joints in our valley. I'm happy I got to enjoy some goodies with my daughter but I'm going to go support another local business that will actually make me feel like a valued customer and not a bother.

Ordered the funky chicken sandwich and a bottle of soda. $12.99 for two pieces of bread with a little filling, and a slice of cheese (see pic).

Some of the best ice cream I've ever had…read more A small little store front by the big food market. The entrance is on the street and not in the food court itself. The store features a rotating menu of flavors. They will let you try out the different flavors. A small gets you two flavors. The ice cream is all rich and creamy and high quality. We had the honeycomb and Carmel which had big chunks of honeycomb. It was our favorite. I paired it with the Déjà vu which had a strong almond flavor. We also had the Idaho bourbon flavor which was perfect! Give this place a try! It's amazing!

The other person there was great though! I was drawn in by the array of unique flavors and vegan options. I had really wanted to get something boozy and vegan, but they only had one flavor on at the moment that fit the bill and I wasn't particularly interested, so I sampled a few of the dairy boozy flavors and went with a vegan non-boozy ice cream for my actual order because a full scoop of dairy ice cream does not sit right in my stomach. I liked the boozy flavors more but that was only because of the flavors offered - the vegan ice cream itself was great, very smooth and creamy, not overly sugary. I got the float season vegan ice cream: blackberry ice cream with salted dark chocolate. I did still enjoy this flavor a lot. I really liked the crunchy bittersweet dark chocolate bits. I didn't get anything to drink but I was kind of tempted. The ice cream + beer or wine flights looked interesting. I don't know wine well enough to comment, but it looked like they had a good selection of beer with quality brewers and a good variety of beer types. This is technically a Warehouse Food Hall vendor but it's only accessible from the street outside the food hall. I wasted a few minutes wandering around the food hall trying to find it before I looked outside. They have a fair amount of seating inside and outside.

So when my husband said let's go get ice cream, I knew we had to head here. This joint hasn't changed in the last 15 years. Everything looks the same. Treats everywhere. Toys adding happiness to the joint. The big windows letting all that beautiful sunlight in. The scent of fresh waffle cones and popcorn. It's truly one of the best smells around. Candles need to be made that smell like Goody's. I wouldn't mind my house smelling like this joint. We snagged a couple chocolate covered pretzel sticks. And of course we had to get ice cream! My husband got a double scoop sundae and I grabbed a single. I have the worst sweet tooth so the urge to get two scoops was there! But, I knew my husband would share some of his with me so the single scoop was perfect. The sundaes were so good! It's very nostalgic eating them in the old school glass cups. My husband's sundae had a ton of fudge in it. Both were topped with a hearty amount of whipped cream and cherries of course. The ice cream was so good! It's been a few weeks since we were in. But, I remember it being amazing and the most perfect afternoon treat. Especially having that treat with my husband. The staff was super friendly. They were all just great! The venue of course will always be top tier. A must go to ice cream joint in the north end. It's been too long since I have been in so coming in for our ice cream date was just magical. I hope to be back soon, sooner than 15 years.

Sitting under the big trees with ice cream in hand is part of the charm, and it keeps us coming back to sit on the patio with our ice cream.
