I was just here on the 4th to grab some goodies for my husband. They had a fritter of the day…read moreSaturday and it was cherry. Now that it's Monday, I decided to head into Guru to grab an a fritter of the day. New week new flavor of fritter. The gentleman that helped me today was super nice! I asked him what the fruit flavor of the fritter was and I was told it's cherry again. I told him that I wanted to grab the fritter on Saturday till I found out it was cherry as well. That's when I was told it's more like flavor of the month vs. week. I'm determined to grab a fritter that my husband will like so we will just have to wait till August. We have tried fritters from every shop imaginable so I'm determined to try one from here. But today I grabbed another Hipsterberry, a seasalt chocolate glazed bar and a cereal of the day. I didn't get a chance to eat the Hipsterberry on Saturday so I will have some today! You can't go wrong with a classic chocolate bar with seasalt and a cinnamon toast crunch topped donut. All 3 donuts were killer good today! Fresh, soft and so flavorful! It's hard not to get one of every donut from this joint. They all look so good! My husband and I got to start our week off with some great treats from Guru. Looking forward to coming back and trying a different round of donuts. I might have started a new bad habit for my husband and I.

If you want to check out Guru Donuts, I'd suggest going early in the day. I made the mistake of…read moregoing after lunch for a sweet treat, so the selection was very limited. Despite this, I was able to find one that looked pretty good, so I tried the Alice in Wonderland. Most of Guru's donuts are made with potato flour instead of wheat flour, with the exception being the cake donuts. Within the potato flour group, they offer raised or vegan. The difference being the toppings -- the vegan ones have toppings that are, well, vegan. They also have a handful of gluten free donuts. My donut was pretty good, but I wish they would've offered to heat it up just for a few seconds, especially since I ate it in-house. The inside is pretty spacious with some interesting art. In addition to donuts, they offer avocado toast, two types of burritos and a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. Overall, worth checking out especially if you're undecided between trying the donuts or more traditional breakfast items.

I mentioned how I have trouble getting there on time, and the owner went completely out of her way to bring donuts to me, just out of pure kindness. Who does that anymore? The donuts themselves absolutely lived up to their reputation. They were fresh, soft, and so yummy! My favorites were the blueberry and the maple. It's rare to come across people who care this much, and it made the whole experience unforgettable. I'll be going back for sure, and I highly recommend you give them a try.

Goldstein's Bagels & Bialys 611 S. Eight Street, Boise…read moreOpen 7-3 pm every day Goldsteinsbagels.com Next to the bagels on display at Goldstein's was one basket titled "Bialy." Pronounced [bee-AH-lee] and Jewish-American in origin, the Food Lover's Companion notes say "this large, very chewy large yeast roll is round and flat with a depression in the center. The bialy is sprinkled with chopped onion before baking. The name comes from the Polish city of Bialystok." I love, love the version that Goldstein's makes, loaded with caramelized thin strings of onion in the middle. Already a matte finish light golden brown on the outside: it is well paired with butter, or my favorite, a schmear of veggie cream cheese. One difference between a bagel (boiled and baked) and a bialy is that it's only baked yielding a crunch. My wife prefers the Everything bagel, toasted with melted butter. If I splurge, the Bagel Shop Reuben or the Kosher Style Deli with pastrami, mustard and a kosher pickle hit the spot with intense flavors. Both are $13. The black & white cookies remind me of Junior's 1515 Broadway New York, NY, although smaller than their oversize version. You'll also find lox options, and other smoked fish plus an array of nostalgic canned and bottled drinks, coffee and can even order a Ubet's chocolate egg cream soda. The plain bagels are $2, the Bialy is one dollar more, give it a try!

I felt like this place was a little overrated…read more Absolutely pass on the hot honey bagel! The pickles were overpowering and we ended up wasting most of it. Egg and Cheese was nothing to write home about. I would be interested to try just the regular bagels with a spread, but as for the sandwiches I would pass. Limited seating inside but the patio was cute.

I finally had the opportunity to stop at this little bakery shop today. I'm always in their neck…read moreof the woods but never when they are open. They are only open on the weekends and I was conveniently by the shop so it was only right to stop in. Parking is towards the back and there's quite a few spots available which is nice. I adore the building they are in. I love older store fronts that have been revamped and turned into charming venues. Walking in, you notice how country shabby it is. I appreciate the esthetic here. I love me a beautiful shabby country feel. It's a smaller but intimate setting. There's drinks in a cooler for sale. Coffee beans, dried flowers and other fun gifts on display. After checking out their goods, I headed over to their display of baked goodies. My first impression of these treats was wow! They were all beautiful, delicate and delicious looking. These goodies would be perfect for a bridal shower, a wedding or just a nice tea party. Completely stunning. I wanted to start my first visit here with something classic so I ordered the chocolate chip cookie and the peanut butter cookie. I was planning on taking them to go and share them with my husband. If I did stay to enjoy my pastry, I would have tried the banana pudding. I would have wanted to have the whole experience of having it in the venue with a tea. My husband and I enjoyed the chocolate chip cookie. It was crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. I do wish there were more chocolate chips in the cookie. We felt like we ate more of the cookie without the chocolate than with. We both do look forward to trying the peanut butter cookie later. I believe this would have been a 5 star visit if the service was friendlier. I know I only ordered 2 cookies but it was "that's it?!?" that threw me off. Regardless if I came in for 1 cookie or a dozen, I believe a guest should be treated nicely. It's not the price point of the guest. It's the fact that we came in to support your local business. My 2 cookies with tip was pushing 11 bucks. 11 bucks can buy me a whole grip of Tollhouse bake your own cookies but instead I wanted to spec this place out and support you. I am charmed by this place. I do look forward to coming back. The banana pudding is something I will have to try next time if it's available. I just know coming in next time what kind of service I would be expecting and not to expect too much.

We saw a glowing post about this bakery on HelloMeridian and decided to give it a try. We drove…read moreover from Northwest Meridian, which was a bit of a trek. They're only open three days a week (Friday-Sunday), starting at 9:00 AM. By 10:30 AM, they were already nearly sold out. Unfortunately, everything looked dry on display, and the three items we purchased definitely were. We asked the staff member about a few options, hoping for descriptions of what they actually were since many names weren't self-explanatory. The staff member seemed put out having to give us descriptions. . We ended up with: * A raspberry scone - very dry and crumbly * A cinnamon roll - equally dry and lacking moisture * A savory milk bun - you guessed it, dry as well. There was no offer to warm anything up, which would have helped at least a little. In my opinion, if a place is only open three days a week and caters to a limited window, the baked goods should be exceptionally fresh and worth the hype and trek. These felt more like yesterday's leftovers than anything made that morning. Disappointing experience overall--we won't be back. We have no issue driving to Boise for good food but this was not worth the drive. Wasted $16 plus tip for nothing good.
