Iced oat milk lavender Matcha
Billie G.

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

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.

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.

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.

Matcha

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

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

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.

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.

There is a new leader in the quest for my favorite Boise coffee shop…read more We walked into Form and Function on our last morning in Boise and fell in love instantly. 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.

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.
