Moxie Java Bistro

I went three separate times over a month and finally gave up. Too loud and it’s dirty inside. Very friendly staff with good coffee and food options. It’s just too loud. I asked for the music to be turned down a touch and was told the owner prefers that level. The tall table I enjoyed in the front section hadn’t been detailed below the whole month. The grimy stains and dust were there the whole time. All the furniture is old, shabby with tears in the upholstery. Overall a poor effort. Needs new management.

We love this location. It is close to our home. So it is convenient. I like the neon sign. Our favorite has always been the Milky Way & the mistletoe. We often go through drive through. Which is quick and easy. The fireplace inside is inviting during winter. While the fountain outside is nice in the summer. Clean & friendly. Highly recommend for great coffee.

Movie Java has been around for a hot minute. The originals of the infamous Milky Way. There was several locations in the late 90's and early 2000's, that's when I started hitting up the coffee shops. I had my fair share of Milky Ways in high school. I did work for their Edward's location in 2000. One of the funnest jobs I had as a teenager coming out into the world. Core memories were made from my co workers, guests and the responsibilities I was given at such a young age. But with time, other coffee joints have opened and your curiosity takes over. You hit up those other coffee shops or stay within your area for convenience. You forget the root of what started your love for coffee. I drive by this Moxie Java a few times a week and it always brings back memories. So, today I made the decision to go in! I have yet to have coffee at this location but with that logo on their store front, you know you're going to get a great cup of coffee. This venue is big. I love the outside patio with the awning. Inside is cozy with the fireplace going. Plenty of seating for coffee and conversations. Comfy chairs by the fireplace. I adore all the local pictures of Downtown Boise. You can spend a good amount of time here enjoying your drink. A sweet gal behind the counter greeted me. I appreciate that they have a convenient syrup list available so you don't have to ask the barista what kind of options you have. One thing about Movie Java that I love is the ample amount of options of syrups. Their sugar free options is one of the best in town. I really wanted a Milky Way but I'm watching my sugar intake. I got an iced sugar free chocolate and caramel breve. I know it won't be the same but a decent alternative. I'm just happy that they even have sugar free chocolate as an option. A flavor 95% of these other coffee joints don't have. My breve was tasty. I did have to add a packet of sweetner to it. It was almost there in sweetness, it just needed an extra push. The espresso wasn't overly strong. The half and half was creamy. It was all balanced and so good! I sipped on it for a bit in front of the fireplace. It was nice to start my Friday off on such a good note. Moxie Java will always have a soft spot in my heart. It's part of my youth. I have so many fond memories from past coffee shops. My love for coffee started with this place. My first Milky Way will always be a favorite core memory for me. I'm happy I got to stop in and grab my coffee today. I will definitely have to stop in sooner than later.

Love this place! Quaint, homey atmosphere and the drinks are great. The breakfast burritos are some of the best in the valley, and the muffins are tasty. We drive out of our way to go here on many weekends. Also, They have a nice little outdoor seating area, and a drive-thru if you want to take it with you. Try the iced Mexican Mocha latte...

Plenty of places to sit in the sun or inside has a really good vibe with good music very pleasant barista is there made me feel while taking care of. Aubrey in particular has an amazing smile and made me feel instantly welcome!! I also made some unique request which they weren’t able to meet right away, but they found a solution that worked for me just fine highly recommend. Please go here when you’re in town. Great place to stop by. Also, I noticed a lot of locals meet up here cause there’s businesses in the area so a great place to have a business meeting if you’re close by.
