Push and Pour:

Push and Pour is a local coffee roaster with locations in Garden City, the Bench, and Downtown Boise. Owned by a former professional skateboarder, the aesthetic is a little artsy and a little grungy, but 100% quality taste. They offer a variety of coffee drinks as well as small bites at their Bench and Garden City locations. Their avocado toast and signature latte are a must try. The Garden City location is perfect for fall, sitting a few blocks away from the Boise River Greenbelt and its beautiful fall foliage.

Slow by Slow:

This artisan coffee shop on 8th Street in BoDo (Boise Downtown) has a relaxed, cozy atmosphere and prides itself on roasting its own coffee. This is the perfect place to grab a table to get some work done or have a meeting. The staff are knowledgeable and the menu is full of curated recipes with complex and delicious flavor profiles. They are most notable for their pour-over brews.

Hyde Perk:

Hyde Perk is a local hotspot in the heart of Hyde Park. They offer standard coffee, tea, and pastries as well as an ever-changing menu of fun seasonal drinks. This place has a cozy and rustic feel with plenty of tables and benches to sit on. Grab a fall-themed drink (like their delicious Pumpkin Sista) and walk around the countless local boutiques and shops of Hyde Park for a fun fall activity!

Java:

Located both downtown and in Hyde Park, Java is a Boise staple. Both locations serve breakfast, lunch, and pastries alongside coffee. Java has a fun and cozy atmosphere, with plenty of couches and tables. Check this spot out and warm up with the signature Bowl of Soul, a mocha made with Mexican hot chocolate and homemade whipped cream that’s to die for!

Alchemist Coffee:

Located in the West End neighborhood near downtown and on Overland Road, this coffee shop has an intriguing appeal with a bit of mystery.
