I'm not a big coffee drinker, but we do have some of the best coffee right hear in Idaho. Where do you get your Cup of Joe?

One of the first things I noticed when moving to the Treasure Valley is a lot of people drink Dutch Bros. Coffee as opposed to Starbucks. Where I come from Starbucks was always king, but Dutch Bros. has definitely made it's mark on this town. Originating in Oregon, Dutch Bros. is now in 7 states.

My uncle John took me to Big City Coffee, which he says is a right of passage when moving to the Treasure Valley. They do have good coffee in big cool mugs, and really yummy potato hash.

The Human Bean is moving in just down the street from me and when the kids at the elementary school my children go to had the opportunity to talk to the mayor of Meridian, the #1 question they wanted to know was "how did you get The Human Bean to come to Meridian?!" I've heard great things, so I'm counting on good coffee from The Human Bean.

Other coffee shops to check out in the Treasure Valley include...

Plus, if you are addicted to your regular Cup of Joe, studies show there are some real health benefits.
