I couldn't sleep last night so of course I decided to do some research on some local bakeries in…read moreour area. I am always down for something sweet! I have driven by this shop a million times but never got the chance to make it in. After checking out all their photos and goodies off their website, making my way in today was a must. The shop is very small and intimate. You are immediately greeted by all the goodies as soon as you walk in. Colorful macarons, the cutest cheesecakes and beautifully displayed scones and muffins. The display case is nice and bright, allowing you to be able to see the details and coloring of each macaron. The pretty piping on the cheesecake. The fun layers of the cakes. It was hard not to want one of each thing out of the case. It was our first visit for my daughter and I. As a new customer, you're trying to absorb everything about this store. You want to look at all your options! The gal that initially was going to help us pretty much just stood there and stared at us. Didn't really talk to us. Didn't ask if we had any questions. She had the most unpleasant look on her face. It honestly made me feel so unwanted and uncomfortable to be at the shop. I offered to let another customer go ahead of us so she wasn't just standing there waiting for us to order something. The second customer also needed some time. Finally a gentleman came in and she got him some coffee started. Another gal was working and she helped us. At that point, I was so turned off about getting anything but we were already there so we decided to grab a few things. My daughter and I decided to share a 6 pack of macarons. We snagged lemon, birthday cake, coffee, chocolate, creme brulee and cookies and cream as our flavor choices. She also got a red velvet cheesecake for us to share after dinner tonight. On our ride home, we broke that box of macarons open and had to try them all. The lemon was sweet and tangy, I love the lemon custard in the middle. Birthday cake reminds me of a pink frosted animal cookie. The chocolate was my favorite! Very chocolate forward and sweet. Coffee reminded me of a vanilla latte in cookie form. Cookies and cream was much like cookies and cream ice cream. More cream forward and less chocolate cookie. Creme brulee had sugar toasted on top which created a slight bitterness to the cookie but it was balanced with how sweet the cookie was. All 6 macarons were fabulous! I look forward to having the red velvet cheesecake after dinner tonight. I like that there are so many gluten free options at this bakery. I adore how petite and prettily decorated the pastries were. I appreciate that this joint is local as I love supporting local businesses. But, first impressions are so huge for me and my first impression of their customer service wasn't there for me. You can push out great products all you want but how you make someone feel during their purchase can make or break your business. As fantastic as my macarons were, all I can think about was how uncomfortable I was when I was just being stared at. Macarons and cheesecake can be purchased at a few joints in our valley. I'm happy I got to enjoy some goodies with my daughter but I'm going to go support another local business that will actually make me feel like a valued customer and not a bother.

We were on a LIME scooter ride on the greenbelt, and this little set up caught our eye. We paused and discussed going over to check it out. A guy at the bar yelled to us "It's better over here! We have beer!" Come to find out this was co-owner Mike who is such a great person. We were roped in! We sat at the cool bar on the tree stump stools (this place is SO COOL!) and were immediately sold. Tom was talking about these drinks called Boozies. (my new favorite thing) I of course had to try one. They come in grapefruit or cranberry. GO FOR THE GRAPEFRUIT! And this is what I drank ALL. DAY. $7/can. Didn't even care. They brought out 2 cornhole boards and we ruled the court! Probably played 20 games and met so many cool and new people in the process. A band started up around 7, and it was a great vibe. other notes - - only 2 portapotties, but were relatively clean. - Boozies, and 3 beers from Western Collective. The IPA was good! - food trucks & live music! - amazing view of the river - big umbrellas for shade / if that's your thing. Mike and Tom deserve major high fives for this rad place. What might look like a gravel lot with some old spools & tree stumps - officially kicked off my 2019 summer. Planning on coming back every time I'm in town! Thank you for the memories!

But that's the great thing about Boise- every day luxuries are just way more accessible. I came by on a Saturday morning and picked up a few coffees and somethings for our long drive + camping trip we were heading to right after. We picked up beef jerky, protein bars, chia seed puddings, banana bread, and even some pre-mixed canned cocktails. I also picked up their East-ender sandwich with turkey, havarti, pickles, and mustard. They offered to heat it up but I knew I was going to save it for a bit and eat it somewhere along our journey-- so I got it cold. It held up very well on their sesame roll. I knew it was going to be a long day so I ordered an iced Americano for myself and an iced vanilla latte -- the much needed caffeine boost! What really makes this spot 5-stars is the whole vibe.

I love supporting small businesses and they really do offer a nice variety of produce. If you enjoy fresh fruits and veggies, this is a good place to stop. For me it can be hit or miss. I recently went to look at Christmas trees and none of them were labeled for type, height, or price. There was only one employee working that I could see. He greeted us when we arrived and then seemed to disappear, so there was no one to ask for help. We ended up leaving because we had no idea what the trees cost. Overall, Reggie's Veggies has a lot of great food options in stock and is worth visiting for produce, but the experience can depend on staffing and the time of year.

Amigos Original Salsa…read more I love salsa, but I rarely eat it outside of restaurants because it's hard to find a good store-bought version. Problem solved. I recently tried Amigos Original Salsa (Hot), which is made in Boise, Idaho. This salsa has no preservatives or additives, so you need to eat it quickly. Trust me, you won't have a problem doing so. The ingredients in the Hot salsa are: tomato juice, fresh tomatoes, Japanese chilies, onions, garlic, cilantro, salt, pepper and spices. I have included a photo of what this salsa looks like in its original container, below in the comments. Be sure to look carefully towards the right side of the image to determine if you are buying Mild, Medium or Hot. Because of the way it's packaged, it's easy to miss. I didn't see it at all when I bought it and assumed that this salsa just came in heat level. I bought mine at Winco, along with some fantastic Winco store made tortilla chips, which I highly recommend. They're better than anything you will find on the shelf. I started to eat my chips and salsa and was amazed by the fantastic flavor of both. I'm not someone who delicately dips my chips and salsa. I'm more of a "salsa scooper." If I find a great salsa at a restaurant, I always run out of the salsa long before the chips. That's exactly what I was doing with my first container of Amigos, when it suddenly caught up with me. I stopped in my tracks and said out loud to my cats, "Why is this so hot?" I took a closer look at the packaging. By that time, I had consumed enough of the salsa that I could clearly see my container was marked "Hot." Indeed, it was. If you like hot salsa with lots of flavor, Amigos delivers. I am sure the Mild and Medium flavors are great too. Owner Gil Portocarreno used to own a restaurant with the same name. I never had the chance to visit his restaurant, but boy am I glad has continued continuing to make his salsa. Gil was born in Peru. His mother taught him how to plant and grow his own vegetables. He came to the United States in 1979 with the dream of making salsa with Peruvian chilies. I don't know if it's still available or not, but according to his FB page, he makes a Peruvian salsa for sale too. Amigos salsa is sold at Albertsons, Winco, and The Boise Co-op. Highly Recommended!!!
