The Treasure Valley’s Best Coffee Shops
There was a time when someone offered you coffee; they asked, "How about a cup 'o Joe"? Those days are over.
Yo Joe, You're Latte' Is Ready
Now, the answers are endless, and they sound like some science experiment. But when it comes to the preferred caffeine delivery system, coffee, or a version of it, is still the number one choice. Hot or cold, coffee is king for waking up in Treasure Valley, and here are some of the best places to get your coffee, however you like it.
Talk About A Work Perk
Lucky Perk Coffee -1551 W Cherry Ln #101, Meridian, ID Hailed as a comfortable, friendly, and inviting spot, not just for their amazing coffee offerings, specifically their White Chocolate Mocha and Pumpkin Spice Latte, but according House Of Palmer - Idaho Real Estate, also as a space for people to get work done instead of going into the office, so bring your laptop and work remotely when possible. Is coffee a write-off? Overtime anyone? If you're lucky.
New Name, Same Great Coffee
Mountain Timber Coffee (Mocha Moose) - 106 E Williams St, Meridian, ID
With over 20 years of brewing history in Treasure Valley, this top 5 favorite knows what their brew crew likes, and they line up for the Caramel White Chocolate Mocha and Gingerbread Latte. The atmosphere is outdoorsy and comfortable, just the way their herd likes it.
Drink Up And Testify
Disciples Coffee - 199 E 52nd St., Boise, Idaho
This aptly named spot has a legion of brew-lievers who flock to the shop for its famously strong espresso drinks. Especially their sinfully delicious Nitro Cold Brew and seasonal drinks like Peppermint Mocha.
More Than Just The Coffee
Your taste buds will be your testimony for this Treasure Valley favorite. I also appreciate that they recognize and celebrate our first responders and military, and share their faith openly in their shop.
Taste The Science
Alchemists Coffee Roasters - 10650 W Overland Rd Boise, ID, 2701 W Stewart Ave Boise, ID, and 9115 W Chinden Blvd #107 Garden City, ID
No, the baristas don't wear white lab coats, rubber gloves, or safety glasses, but there is a science behind their delicious offerings here. Like the very popular and smooth Pour Over Coffee and Salted Caramel Latte that is beyond next level. Ounce for ounce, their coffee is definitely the gold standard.
Life Is Tasty
The Perks Of Life Coffee House & Bakery - 1540 E. Iron Eagle Dr., Eagle, ID and 310 12th Ave S, Nampa, ID
This place is the best of both worlds, coffee shop and bakery! And they do an amazing job of combining it with community. Maybe the most family-friendly coffee shop in the bunch, with a welcoming and warm environment. Their Americano is top-notch and the most popular offering on their coffee menu. The bakery? Well, their scones are legendary.
Is This A Coffee Shop Or A Bakery?
They offer a full lineup of delicious homemade baked goods; the scones are especially delightful, and they pair nicely with any coffee on the menu. Added perk, cool gift shop items. And when fall arrives, get in line for their awesome annual autumnal offering, the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew.
What's In Your Cup?
Are you thirsty yet? Of course, the above are merely a sample of the overwhelming amount of coffee/beverage/caffeine places/shops/drive-thrus in the Treasure Valley, and when you add in the big chains like Starbucks and Dutch Bros., that caffeine habit you have could really add up.

So, Why Did They Call Coffee "Joe"?
What About Home Brew?
Not if you want a sugar-free, grande mochaccino, with two shots of espresso, goat milk, medium froth, light whip, and a chocolate biscotti on the side. Enjoy!
