Bright Vibes, Excellent Service, and Delicious Drinks!…read more If you are looking for a great new coffee and pastry spot in Boise, Coffee With A Twist is a must-visit. The interior vibe is bright and inviting, featuring comfortable pink squishy chairs, retro couches, and standard tables. The customer service here is top-notch. I ordered the Blueberry Cinnamon Roll Twist and asked for it warmed up, but received it cold because it missed the note at checkout. When I brought it back, the gentleman at the counter was incredibly polite. He explained that they normally serve it cold so the cream cheese topping doesn't melt. I told him I didn't mind the melt, and he immediately warmed it up for me. It was phenomenal--warm, rich, and even better than the standard Cinnamon Twist (which was also excellent, flaky, and perfectly spiced). I also tried two drinks: 1. Iced Banana Bread Latte with Cold Foam: Super creamy, sweet, and absolutely delicious. 2. Vanilla Bean Matcha with Oat Milk: This was my first time ever trying matcha. Because I have hypothyroidism, I read up on how matcha can be beneficial for thyroid health depending on the milk and syrups used. I was nervous it would taste like dirt, but the oat milk recommendation was perfect. It completely smoothed out the earthiness, and the hint of vanilla made it incredibly delicious.I am officially a matcha convert and will definitely be back to order it again. Big thanks to the friendly staff for a great first visit!

Here It won't be a quick cup of coffee. I would give them one star, but their staff was so kind and the coffee was so good plus their veggie quiche that I wanted to stay away from as I am trying to lose weight but it was so delicious. It lured me in like a siren calling me into the ocean. So I was inclined to instead give them five stars, even though I did not leave quickly like I had wanted, and I ended up talking to a couple of customers, though I wanted to be left alone; the conversation was so dang engaging! Then I discovered a caffeina right down the road from me. Ugh the audacity that they open up a shop next to my house! I'm trying to not be lured in by delicious coffee and perfect quiche. The horror the horror :)

The decor is really beautiful and has a lot of seating. I even loved that there was a couch outside. I ordered a bagel and a seasonal latte. I really enjoyed my bagel. Unfortunately, the lemon latte wasn't really for me, but I'm still glad I tried it! Understandably, I think the barista who served me might've not wanted to work on a holiday and was a bit short with me. That being said, the service was good overall.

Quick take: Yes, decent espresso…read more Coffee Snob Version: First some background to be fair. I buy and roast my own beans and tried beans from all over the world. I have an Excel file full of roasting profiles per bean with what worked and what was less good. I tend to like African and Asian beans. I have use the same Breville machine for 15 years, drink espresso and espresso based drinks exclusively. Yes I would consider myself a coffee snob. I live around the corner from here and have meant to come try them for a while. I was sick a few weeks ago so missed two roasting Fridays, I roasts every Friday and ran out of my own beans. As you know if you are reading the Coffee Snob version, Sbux disappoints, so hey... perfect opportunity to try here! What to try... curious to know about their beans, I ordered a Dopio and an Americano. The Dopio lets me experience just the bean, the Americano what it tastes like dilluted, the flavor can change a bit. The Americano also tells me how much water they add. I tend to make mine with equal parents espresso and water, there is an actual name for this that eludes me at the moment. What was odd was that as they pulled the double espresso shot, there was an unusual volume of crema on top, I actually saw the Barista dump some of the crema off before pouring the remainder in my cup. This is caused by a few things but beans that are too recently roasted is a primary cause. Freshly roasted means usually need at least a week to off as the carbon dioxide in the beans. All that crema was likely CO2 relates, so if anything would have made the shot undrinkablly bitter... And the Barista seemed to know this! I have had beans that needed a month to stabilize. One day it's sharp and bitter, as if by magic, the flavor has changed entyrly and is wonderful! The flavor of the Dopio would tend to support this as it was on the sharp side. That sharpness came through in the Americano which was full to the brim. The fix is simple, I add a small amount of whipped cream and swirl it in. When I get a less than ideal roast at home, this is the fix. I'm certain milk based drinks, cappuccino, breve, etc would overcome this easily. Will I go back, if I am out of beans, definitely, but now I know to add a bit of whipped cream!
