Purchased a few treats and they were all exceptional pleasant business great food ! Real cute carrier for treats as well !! Great food porn on their site as well!!!

Four stars not five because of the rude treatment, comment by the owner. Totally unacceptable. I arrived 15 minutes early to pick up an online order (without realizing I was early) and when my bread pudding was not yet ready the owner (lady) chastised me for arriving early in front of everyone in the store. “That’s why we say 8:30!” After waiting around for 15 minutes I was then politely told it would be another 30 minutes before my order would be ready. Okay, I don’t mind waiting or even returning, the pastries at Janjou are delicious, but I can’t get past the rude treatment. Janjou puts out fantastic pastries, but no pastry is worth the condescending, rude treatment I received today. Maybe the owner was having a bad day. Or maybe she could pull of that type of behavior in a big urban city like NYC, but not in Boise, Idaho folks. We are a friendly city. ;)

Pure perfection and artistry in every way. The best croissant I’ve ever had - light, airy with beautiful lamination. The americano was fantastic as well. All around 10/10.

By happenstance I discovered Janjou while passing through Boise. Being a baker and knowing what it takes to make exquisite pastries and how much it costs to source excellent ingredients, I was ok with the pricing of the fine pastries. The young woman taking our order was friendly and courteous. But the gruff, sharp toned co-owner's loud comments to her about an inventory issue cast a definite chill over the whole room, adding to the frigid temperature of the shop on a cold, rainy day. His curt remarks compounded tensions in what could - and should - have been a most memorable culinary highlight. Product earned 5+ stars, owner attitude a 0 to 1.

Absolutely amazing. I've been to bakeries all over the world and this is truly one of the best. Quaint, petite, exquisite, wonderful. I will tell everyone I know and even those I don't that this is the best place to find the perfect pastry and café.

Look out for this special order, Egg and green croissant. =)I love their croissant and I want something savoury so this is just perfect for me! =)Love the people here too, they are very nice and friendly.

OMG! This place is as amazing as everyone said! So glad I took time to visit! The staff was super friendly & helpful! I will definitely return to try everything they make!

So glad I stopped here for breakfast! I wanted to eat absolutely everything here. Highly recommend their packs of fresh cookies, some of the tastiest ones I've had!

Excellent food and coffee. Flavorful bread and pastry.
