On the side of the coffeehouse, outside.
Rachel B.

Love this local, downtown coffee house! It's a spacious, cozy space with great coffee. If you've never been there, I highly recommend the Cardamom Latte with a fresh pastry. And, bring your dog to sit with on the patio. Last time I was there, you could get a pup cup too!

District Coffie house is one of my absolute favorite places to get coffee in downtown Boise. I feel like the barista is really care about how your drink is going to come out. It feels like they're made with love. They just freshly remodeled the space feels brand new during the summer. They have a lavender lemonade spritz that I absolutely adore. The District has a seasonal menu along with all of the coffee shop favorites, you're often find Boise State students studying or folks working on their laptops. They are often a venue for live music and host various local events. A great place to read a book! 10 out of 10

Cute areas, big lobby for large or small crowds
Anavey H.

The coffee I tried, cold brew was smooth and yummy. Soft top was a great touch & after looking at reviews was my reason for coming in. They have sip lids included at their self help station & serve your drink without lids. Paid 7.25 for my 12 oz coffee with vanilla & soft top. Pretty fair price for the yummy coffee if I do say so myself. Would definitely recommend. Barista was super kind & helpful. Loved that they had real plants in their lobby. & lots of space.

Famous chai with hibiscus foam!

This place is so cute! Loved the atmosphere and the staff was nice. I added hibiscus foam to an iced chai and it was amazing! It's seasonal but definitely try it

Found this coffee shop while out for a walk. The space was nice, open, bright. The service was not. The superiority and affectation was thick. The experience was not welcoming. Staff likely needs training and support to better understand how behaviors are perceived and experienced by customers. The cappuccino was well made.

Nitro
Mary Kay H.

Bright coffee shop with good tunes in the background. Nice barista and another who was making a real good looking matcha. Con: what I came for...coffee. Got a nitro. Pricey for the size (see pic with hotel key for reference, prob 8oz?) and flat. First sip had good chocolate flavor but it just petered out. I'm used to more rich nitro, milky-smooth with out the milk type of drink, and well, nitro. Mine was very flat. I will prob come back for a hot espresso drink to see how that pans out, but no more nitro.

Matcha
Krista C.

Such a good matcha.... Maybe on my top 5 list. The ambience was perfect for working on my laptop. Lots of plants and windows :) the music was also exactly what I would pick for background work music. Thank you staff for a great playlist

Menu as of January 2026

Came to the District Coffee House on a cold wonder day and it was a nice place to keep cozy and relax for a few hours. I had the horchata mocha and the ham and cheese croissant for breakfast, both of which were delicious. Prices were comparable to Starbucks but quality was far better. The service was quick and friendly. I had my food and coffee out within 5 minutes. They and tables and couches, all of which were kept clean. They had indie music playing in the background which was on par with the coffeehouse vibes. It's can be a bit loud for some but I liked it. Highly recommend this cafe if you're in the Boise downtown area and need to kill some time.

Mocha with oat milk was not good. At $8 for a large...it should be good. Baristas seemed indifferent. Would not go back.

a haiku for my favorite coffee in the valley:…read more Neckar Coffee, oh! what tasty drinks and pastries best of all the shops there are almost too many good things I could say about Neckar. Not only is their house roasted coffee the best in the valley, the preparation is consistently fantastic. The service is unmatched. My aunt insists on going every time she visits us, because Michael, one of the baristas, is so lovely. He remembers her every time. He found my husband's hat that he had left there and saved it under the counter until the next time we came in. Their house made pastries are insane. I dream of their sour cream coffee cake and ham and gruyère hand pies. Don't even get me started on their soft pretzel. Everything is crafted to perfection, including the atmosphere. Cozy (not sterile like many third wave places) without being cluttered. Perfect lighting. Good music. Each detail has been thoughtfully curated, like outlets at every table and barstool, and bag hooks under the bar for bar seating. Grant, the owner, refuses to offer there unless it is The Best, and it absolutely shows. My only complaint is that too many people know of it's perfection and it can get really busy. Oh well, it won't stop me from singing their praises!

Goldie's corner is just that, a restaurant located on the corner where you can grab a cookie and a…read moresmall bite to eat. Note: this isn't the full Goldy's restaurant as that is next door. 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.

The last time I came into Goldy's Corner, I had asked the girl that helped me if they had apple…read morefritters. I guess apple fritters are not a consistent pastry that's made. I was suggested to call in and see if they were some available the day of. So, I called in this morning to do an apple fritter check. I talked to Emily this morning. I was told that they don't serve apple fritters. So, now I'm confused to whether they do or don't sell fritters. She did tell me that they have apple bear claws and an apple bread available. I asked if a bear claw could be set aside for me. With it being Saturday morning, I wanted to guarantee a bear claw after I got off work. I wanted to take one home to my husband since I promised him one. I headed in around 9:30. It was chill so I probably could have just snagged one but I wanted it to be a guarantee. The gal behind the counter grabbed my bear claw. Paid for it and made me way out. On my way to the car, I couldn't help but be baffled to how light the box was. I got into my car and opened the box up. Bro, to call this pastry in this to go box a bear claw has to be a joke. A bear claw to me is big, palm size. Multiple people handling a big claw size. I was so disappointed at how tiny this bear claw was. Honestly, to have it be called bear claw is criminal work. And to have it be pushing 5 bucks is criminal work too. Don't get me wrong, the bear claw was decent. It was frosted. The pastry portion of it was soft and buttery. There was apple but very subtle. The size of it is comparable to street taco but fluffier. To compare a bear claw to a street taco is just insane to me.

As a family, we bought my husband a 5-Course Coffee-paired Brunch at Dawson Taylor Coffee for…read moreFather's Day! It included 5 pairings with food, coffee education, and a free tour of their roasting facility! My husband is a notorious coffee snob, so this was perfect. It lasted a few hours, and was lovely. We chatted with others at our table, enjoyed some delicious food, coffee, and even peaberry tea (a favorite). My husband especially enjoyed the roasting facility tour, which was led by a well-educated coffee enthusiast. She handed out amazing facts, generous tips, and favorite coffees. It was an incredible experience, and my husband couldn't stop talking about it. Follow their Instagram to be in the know of upcoming events. And know their coffee is excellent!

I usually hit a couple local joints that are right by the salon I work at. Conveniently, Dawson Taylor was right there so I took it as a sign to head in. This coffee joint is so cool. Walked in and instantly noticed how pretty the shop is. I was greeted right away. I told the gentleman that greeted me that I was going to use the ladies room real quick. I will have to say, the bathroom is so dope. I love all the quotes that were written on the walls. You don't realize how long you're actually in the bathroom when you're reading all the tiles. After reading a handful of tiles, I finally made my way out. I got my usual coffee when I try a new joint out. Gives every shop an even playing field. So I got myself an iced americano with sugar free vanilla and room for cream. I had asked the barista for cream to be poured in the back by him. I had told him about my new kidney when I ordered and that I can't really use communal things. He proceeded to tell me the cream was at the table. I really didn't want to use it but I did. I poured a little of it out before I added the cream to my drink. I also used a napkin to hold the handle. I try not to be a germaphobe but it's hard not to be when your immune system is non existent. I made my way outside to sit under the sun and absorb the afternoon energy. I did add couple packets of my sweetner to my drink to sweetnen it a tad. I like my drinks on the sweeter side. Wow, this drink is absolute perfection. You can taste the espresso. It was very present and bitter. It wasn't watered down and light. I appreciate how bold the espresso is. The cream added a nice richness to the drink. The sweetner did enhance the taste of the vanilla. This americano was so good! I ended up walking to Cecil Andrus park and enjoying the rest of my drink there. It was just what I needed this afternoon. This joint is just another block away from the salon I work at which will be so nice and convenient to head down to for an afternoon caffeinated beverage. Another joint I will have to frequent. I will be back soon for another round of this fabulous americano. Especially after a long day at work.
