Primal Coffee- Boise
20 N Latah St, Boise, ID
Crema's Take
“This rustic Boise gem earns its stellar reputation with thoughtfully crafted espresso drinks that go beyond the basics—think their signature cardamom latte and in-house oat milk that actually tastes creamy rather than like filler. The packed-on-weekends vibe comes from a perfect storm of excellent coffee, killer breakfast sandwiches, and baristas who genuinely seem to care about both their craft and their customers, making it the kind of place where you'll want to linger over a pour over or settle in for a meeting.”

Always great coffee, love their Primal cardamom Latte. Breakfast sando is 😋 yum! Great vibe and friendly staff and fellow customers. Love that they have outdoor seating for those nice days. Locally owned, love chatting with the owners Mom.
What a quaint, rustic cafe! I'll let the photos speak for themselves on the ambiance. Favorites on the menu- dirty ginger tumeric chai and ham and cheese croissant breakfast sando. To die for. They also have very yummy gluten free bread. Surprisingly, the very affordable plain Primal coffee with housemade creamer is equally divine. Wish there was more seating and pillows for the chairs as they can be a bit awkward without lower back support (rolled up jacket worked just fine tho). Very small quibble, the temperature is difficult to control near the door, but that's to be expected. Overall lovely and delicious. GREAT decor. My favorite feature might be the deliberate, thoughtful coverings on the overhead lights. Brilliantly crafted with wood around the sides to minimize leak through, giving a warm atmosphere for sipping, reading, breathing. Bravo.
We were looking for a good cup of coffee on Saturday morning and decided to try Primal Coffee on Latah. When we walked in and found the place was packed, we knew that it must be good. We ordered two Primal lattes with vanilla. I have to say that it was one of the best cups of coffee I have ever tasted! The house made creamer made with sweetened condensed milk, cinnamon infused espresso and oat milk is amazing! If you haven’t tried Primal Coffee yet, you need to check it out!
Great vibe. So-much-so that I even took a pic of their bathroom! Now That says a lot. Staff was super friendly, & I plan on hitting this spot up again next week. 5-stars across the board. Yeah, you should support this local business. Oh, and if you like black coffee... theirs was delicious. Thats a bonus star right there!
This is the best oat milk latte in town. They make their own, in-house oat milk, so it's not filler and oils and does not upset my stomach. The baristas are knowledgeable and friendly. They have gf quick bread and it was good and had just a hint of cinnamon. It is easy to miss this little spot, tucked away in a neighborhood, but you do yourself a disservice if you don't give them a try. They have about 20 seats inside and a few more out the back if you want to sit outside.
