I know our Boise standards for bubble tea are lacking compared to other big cities, but this place definitely has quality. The setting is also very cute and welcoming. They have fun little games to play while you sip on your boba! The staff is nice as well. I'm hoping to come back to try the other items like the egg coffee... i hope it's just as good as the one from Vietnam!

Don't let that keep you from the excellent customer service, smiling faces and great coffee though. A review from several years ago said the Kona Mocha was " The best. Drink. Ever. While I disagree, it is very good and the ladies are always open to helping you tailor every drink to your liking. There is literally something for everyone and every taste on the menu including great pastries, breakfast sandwiches and chips. The ambiance is perfect for working, catching up with friends or just enjoying your coffee and people watching. My two favorite drinks so far are the Kona mocha ( breve) blended, 24oz and the Cold brew with half and half, pistachio foam, iced. You are welcome. If you are feeling really saucy, you can get yourself a cinnamon roll too which are also homemade.

My daughter and I were around the corner checking out an antique shop. It was time for an…read moreafternoon caffeinated beverage so I checked out what we close to us and Coffee Life popped up. It was perfect cause this shop has been on my to go list and today we finally get to. This shop is hidden behind some business. I would have never known it was secretly tucked back here. You wouldn't see it if you're driving down the street. Despite it being so close to Franklin Rd, it was actually really quiet. We walked in and were instantly greeted. My daughter ordered her energy drink first. I asked the sweet barista what kind of sugar free syrups they had and they actually have quite a few. I appreciate that they had more than just the basic 3 that you can pretty much get anywhere. So today I got an iced americano with sugar free chocolate and peppermint with room for cream. I haven't had sugar free peppermint as an option anywhere so I'm very excited to try out my drink today! The gals had finished my drink and had a little metal creamer of half and half ready for me to pour into my drink. It was later in the afternoon when we came in so I assumed they had put the communal creamer pitcher away. But I appreciate that they gave me a little pitcher of it! I did ask the barista for a straw that wasn't communal that everyone had access to. Just trying to stay safe from germs with my new kidney. The sweet gal headed to the back and opened up a new box for me. No hesitation, no faces made, no push back. She opened that box with a smile and let me grab a new straw. Little gestures like that goes a long ways and I adore her for going the extra step for me. My drink was fantastic! The espresso was present. It was perfectly sweet from the sugar free chocolate and peppermint syrup. I didn't have to add any extra sweetner. The half and half was a great addition to my drink. It was just what I needed and it was fabulously made. I swear all the cool coffee joints are so far away from me. I'm only in this area a handful of times every couple months. But now that I know where this shop is, I most definitely will be stopping in for a caffeinated beverage if I'm in the area! The staff was friendly. The venue was welcoming and cozy. And my drink was tasty! Looking forward to coming back soon!

All food except bagels are pre-made offsite. The egg sandwich was hardly edible. Coffee wasn't good. The charming demeanor of the former employees is gone too. Such a shame! No wonder there was so much parking on a Sunday morning. The flame is extinguished.

Yesterday, we decided to try Caffeina Kitchen, downtown location, for coffee and breakfast…read more Walking in, I immediately caught a vibe. It's an open space, filled with an eclectic array of modern and vintage decor, plants, etc. It feels like a local hangout, and it was full of people chatting, eating, and enjoying themselves. We ordered a Breakfast burrito, the Cowboy breakfast, two coffees, and couldn't resist taking a scone home. We ate our breakfasts there. The breakfast burrito was somewhat traditional, and had lots of sausage and bacon added in, except the tortilla looked like it had been put in a panini press, giving it a lovely crispiness. It was served with both salsa and sour cream. It was perfect! My husband ordered the Cowboy breakfast, and this was far from traditional and came in a HUGE bowl! The flavor of this dish was dark and smokey, with a kick. I guarantee you haven't had a breakfast like this before. If you haven't been to Caffeina yet, definitely give it a try. You won't be disappointed. And if it's still Fall when you do, get a Caramel Pecan Chai. :)
