This is a great locally owned and sometimes mobile coffee stop. The owner is truly awesome and so is the staff that works here. They brew up a very decent coffee drink and do so quite efficiently. They do offer other treats but have not indulged myself. Most times you'll find them parked on the corner of Caldwell BLVD and Karcher, but they do sometimes drive off to cater other evem

This place is my favorite, they do a fantastic job with making my coffee dreams come to life. The cold brew or espresso is the biggest decision because both are sooo tasty

Vanilla scone

This is such a cool spot! I've seen it on door dash for a while now and decided to check it out in person. Very unique and they're always running fun promotions. Spoke with one of the owners/founders and she was so friendly! Very kind, helpful, and funny. This place was quick, has a variety of offerings, and a little bit of something for everyone! I ordered the iced salted caramel white mocha & it was perfect. You could taste the coffee, while also being sweet and smooth. The salted caramel was to die for. They also offer a variety of fresh local pastries - we tried the vanilla scone from rose hill bakery. This was one of the best scones I've ever had! It was great flavor and texture, while not being dry or crumbly. This is a definite must hit if you're in the area. The people are so friendly and fun, the flavors and options are many and delish. 10/10!

Stopped by on our way back to Utah…read more Walked in. Girl taking orders was nothing special seemed little frazzled or distracted. But no worries When asked about burrito contents it was like huff... sorry I'm picky and need to know what's inside. I ordered one of their special drinks cinnamon something latte. It was ok. It tasted interesting. I had a coffee at a restaurant day before and it tasted the same. So I then wondered if beans are the same. Burrito was ok. Potatoes inside were not cooked all the way. When I was handed my coffee it was wrong one. Then she realized person before me had ordered similar drink. It's ok Husband got a latte also and when she handed him his drink it was quick that it spilled. Whoops. Plenty of seating Drive thru looked busy. Overall ok

Drive thru + walk-in…read more Came here on a Sunday morning and it wasn't slammed on the inside, two people in line, but the drive thru had 4-5 cars. The girl at the register seemed rushed for no reason. Tried to order the protein bowl but they were out. The breakfast burrito was frozen and just warmed up. They gave us someone else's drink initially but then realized it was wrong and gave it to the other individual. The place just seemed outta sorts as soon as we walked in. Girl that gave me my vanilla latte handed me the coffee in a rush and it spilled. Best way I can describe this place is - rushed for no reason - outta sorts for no reason.

Honestly I've been every Human Bean in the Treasure Valley and they are all delightful. The one on…read moreCaldwell Blvd. is the one I personally treasure the most. Sense they opened I have gone there just about everyday. The ease of location makes for a quick grab and go coffee for getting on or off the freeway. I can't help but to stop by everyday and get a coffee while spending some time with the lovely baristas. They always greet me with a smile and I have come to make friends with all of them! I highly recommend the java chip with caramel, a snowy mocha with real caramel or a classic iced amercano! These baristas pay special attention to your drink every time and they make sure you are satisfied before you drive away and let me say I am impressed! They begin to know your name and you begin to know theirs. Every time I've come it's always been a very personal experience. I can feel the "real ness" of it. No fake small talk with these girls. If you aren't sure of what to get they will always help you. Sometimes when I get an itching for something new I get the daily special and they are always delicious blended!!! When I feel like cheating on my diet I always will swing by and grab a raspberry white chocolate scone, a brookie or a bag o beans. They truly taste like they were baked fresh that day! The scone has sugar sprinkled on top and it's a great crunchy additive to the soft scone. The brookie is every girls dream! A chocolate chip cookie and a brownie combined! How can I pass that up? Well I can't. And sometimes one chocolate covered espresso bean with your drink just isn't enough and you have to buy more! All in all The Human Bean is a place I find myself just about every day. I love their coffee and their service. It's a must go place.

My favorite coffee place of all time. I don't typically go to this location, but they're all pretty…read moremuch the same based on service and the way they make the drinks. I love going here and today they ended up giving us a free drink because they accidentally made an extra. Not only did I appreciate it, but I'm glad they didn't waste it either.

I was in Nampa today dinking around. It was late afternoon so it was about that time for my mid…read moreday caffeinated beverage. I decided to stop into Flying M to grab a little pick me up. This joint is so much fun. You walk in and you're instantly bombarded with all these fun goodies to look at. Candles, socks, mugs, candy, stickers. As much as I needed that drink, I had to look and touch everything first! I love all the fun things they have out. You can literally spend a good hour checking out every piece of retail available! It was hard not to pick, touch or smell everything! Made my way up to the counter. The first thing you notice is all the baked goods. The display case was full of delicious treats. Every pastry looked divine. That's one thing about Flying M, it's a guarantee that your baked goody is going to be out of this world tasty! I have yet to have a bad pastry at a Flying M. It was finally my turn to order my drink, everyone came in all at once. I was greeted by a handsome smile. I ordered my regular drink when I spec out new spots. So today I got an iced americano with sugar free chocolate with room for cream. I made sure it was a large, I needed a good jolt of caffeine. Bro, this americano was money. The espresso was strong and not watered down. I added the cream so it was the perfect amount. I did add a couple packets of Splenda cause the espresso was not shy in this drink. It was so good! I sat outside and enjoyed it. It was the perfect day to enjoy an iced coffee under the warm sun. Flying M downtown Boise should take come customer service pointers from this joint. It's night and day. I stopped going to the Flying M downtown because the customer service was so inconsistent. Some days they were so nice and then some days the baristas were so rude. I had such a great experience here. The venue is fun. The gentleman that helped me was so nice! My drink was on point! I'm happy I stopped in today. Looking forward to coming back and getting another amazing iced americano.

This coffee and cocktail lounge has been on my list to try for quite some time now and I found the…read moreperfect opportunity to stop in yesterday afternoon to check it out. I walked in and OMG, It's way bigger than I thought and so stunning! The booths and chandeliers were very classy. The bartender Mel assisted me and she was very pleasant. She let me know that while they have coffee drinks, she's not much of a barista...they have an experienced barista on staff but they only work there from about 7am to 1pm and I was there approx 1:30pm. She stated she could make simple lattes but nothing all that fancy from the coffee menu as cocktails are her actual specialty so I decided to go with alcoholic libations since that's what she knows how to make. One that stood out to me was called the "Figgy Fizz" which is made with a fig syrup and I was excited as for breakfast yesterday I had the best Greek yogurt I've ever had which was honey and fig flavored so I was definitely in a fig mood lol she whipped up the drink but unfortunately after she handed it to me, she let me know she couldn't find the fig syrup they put in it so she substituted that with pumpkin spice. I was kind of bummed about that and wished she would have asked me first if that substitution was okay with me or if I'd want to try something else because now it's not a "figgy fizz" but a pumpkin spice fizz but I still drank it and it was decent. I decided to try one more drink which was a pomegranate rosemary lemon drop and it was beautiful and very tasty ! It's a nice spot to have a drink, the staff is quite friendly and they have some unique flavors so i can see myself frequenting this establishment. I want to come back soon and give their coffee drinks a try when I can stop by earlier!

All of the employees and bartenders were a lot of fun and very personable. It looks like everyone working really enjoys it. So nice to see! No food, except charcuterie boxes for sale. But we were told we were welcome to bring food in. I was there with a friend for a Valentine's-themed mimosa crawl. The most popular drink special was the Love is Dead mimosa. Very cool looking and tasty. Great place for a date night, cocktail before a dinner out, or hanging with the girls. Looking forward to trying their coffee offerings in the future.
