Momentum Roasting
508 S 5th St, Boise, ID
Crema's Take
“Momentum Roasting is a rare find where genuine hospitality meets craft obsession—Justin and the team pour real expertise into every drink, whether it's a precisely pulled espresso or a thoughtfully suggested honey vanilla latte, and they've even created an upstairs kids' room so families feel truly welcome. What really sets this place apart is their commitment to doing everything by hand: they roast their own beans on-site and hand-throw pottery cups in-house, so you're not just getting exceptional coffee but supporting genuine artisans who care deeply about the entire experience. With ample parking, cozy seating perfect for lingering, and a warm, creative atmosphere that somehow manages to be both laptop-friendly and conversation-inspiring, it's the kind of neighborhood roastery that builds loyal regulars for good reason.”

This place is the best! Justin is the best! I’ve tried a latte and a mocha so far, and both were excellent. Most importantly, he makes a terrific steamer for my 2 year old - and always draws a little chocolate bear on the foam so she feels like she’s drinking a grown up latte 🥹 This is our new favorite coffee hang - the vibes, coffee, people, and family-friendly art rooms upstairs can’t be found anywhere else (and I’ve lived here my whole life and visited many coffee shops!) We love momentum and Justin!
Excellent customer service. Ample parking. Convenient location. Stopped in looking for a local roaster - good drip coffee, excellent honey vanilla latte suggested by the barista. Lots of cozy seating. Was able to breastfeed in one of the upstairs rooms with total privacy. One of a kind pottery. Highly recommend.
Surprisingly family friendly. The barista was so nice and my two year old loved playing in the kids room upstairs. The coffee was perfect, definitely new favorite coffee shop in Boise!
Justin's insight on coffee, music selection, the environment here, the taste of the coffee, the conversation, creativity, opportunity, adventure, transcendence, God, interesting people, family, artfully crafted pottery, all make for a remarkable experience. ❤️
They have a passion for coffee & art, roast their own coffee, and hand-make their cups out of pottery right there in house. You can take with your mug if you bring it back (or buy it!) or take a to-go cup and walk direct access to the rose garden and greenbelt up the river. You can buy any of their art they have on the walls or in the lil shop as well. Stop in if you’d like a good cup of coffee, and good people!
