This very well may be my favorite coffee shop in Boise. Well priced, nice rewards, great staff, excellent atmosphere. Excellent location.

Update: came back this Friday right when they opened for another cortado. The barista said they had a special mocha cortado so I tried it and holy cow, it was good. I don't normally get sweet drinks, but this was just the right amount of chocolate and espresso to keep it from being a sugar bomb. The barista also killed it with just the most silky milk I've ever had. I also appreciate that even though I was right there when she opened the door, she welcomed me with a smile and didn't make me feel like I was a hassle which people sometimes do.They also have Gaston's croissants here which are bomb. I got the ham and cheese which was so good. Super flaky and buttery. Next time I will get a chocolate croissant or one of their bagels. They seem to have a few rotating options. I honestly am not that impressed by the selection of food here but it's whatever.The coffee here is amazing but I keep coming back for the service. The barista here in the morning is just great. This place is a hidden gem. Make sure you get the mocha cortado.

Perfect neighborhood coffee shop, the baristas always craft a yummy drink!

Thank you guys so much for my order! And the note and sticker! I’ve been feeling so homesick lately and having a taste of part of my old daily routine has truly made my entire day!

Very nice owner. We stopped here on our bicycle tour to grab a coffee and figure out a game plan for safely riding out of Boise and the owner actually took the time to help us figure out a safe route. The coffee was great as well!

As someone who has purchased two different coffee makers and had them serviced, purchases a minimum of 20lbs of beans at a time, wired both the old shop and the new one, I was offended today when I was refused service for not wearing a mask, I have had my shots, and carry proof, I have tested negative recently, I still respect everyone’s distance, this is ridiculous. I’m glad your business is doing so well that you don’t need mine.

Did a report in college about Dawson Taylor coffee back in 2004. I'm proud to report that in the 2020s DT is still all good!

If you are buying coffee, skip the chains and get it here. AMAZING flavor, not burnt/scorched just perfect!

I try to avoid dairy and one early morning when was still a bit sleepy I asked for a Turmeric Latte and forgot to ask for oat milk. They were just finishing the latte with whole milk when I realized my mistake and they immediately whipped up a new drink. The baristas couldn’t be kinder every time I go in, but this was above and beyond. I love this cafe and recommend it to all of my friends. Thank you!!

This place is just in front of my apartment. Though I am not a coffee drinker, I went there with my friend and I met with her after a long time. It was a lovely meeting and the coffee made it more memorable. My friend loved the coffee, but it was a bit bitter for me. As I said I am not a coffee drinker, I was very happy with the service and the ambiance.
