Blue Collar Coffee
123 S 11th St, Boise, ID
Crema's Take
“This Boise spot pairs genuinely exceptional espresso with a rustic-modern vibe that somehow manages to feel both unpretentious and polished. The staff are the real heart of the operation—regulars rave about being remembered by name and treated with an unusual warmth that goes way beyond standard coffee shop friendliness. Whether you're settling in with a laptop, grabbing a stellar breakfast burrito with fresh salsa, or meeting a client early on a Sunday, the combination of skilled coffee craftsmanship and that rare quality of genuine hospitality makes it feel less like a transaction and more like coming home.”

I've been coming here every morning since I moved to Boise. The staff are so helpful and kind, and started recognizing me by name within a week despite me never being very chatty. It's not usually very crowded, and they get my chai out really fast. Love this place. :>
Great place for breakfast and espresso. Staff was nice and friendly. Espresso was great. Breakfast bacon burrito was amazing with fresh salsa. Highly recommend. I will return!!
What a cool shop! Coffee is really good and the atmosphere is rustic modern. Perfect place to be on an early Sunday morning, meeting with a new client. Wherever my day takes me! #talloo
it needs to be said, the employees here are TOP TIER. like customer service through the roof!!! so freaking nice and helpful-no matter what day i come in. Also-the sausage breakfast burrito is MY FAVORITE. Comes with salsa and sour cream and is a huge size!
The name of this coffee shop drew us in. It seemed cute and not too pretentious. I ordered the salted caramel chai latte, my husband had a tea, and we split a breakfast burrito. If my chai had a shot of espresso I think it would have been delish, but it was pretty sweet without it. Didn’t love the breakfast burrito, but those are always hit or miss at coffee shops so no love lost there. It was a cute place with a fun vibe. It opens up into The Renegade Hotel which looked cute. It was also PACKED so that might be a sign that the coffee is pretty good??? We’ll have to come back and find out for ourselves!
