Sunshine Spice Bakery & Cafe

Today is my mom’s birthday and I surprised her with a trip to this bakery. I’ve looked for sweet pastry shops to eat at in Boise, and I recently heard about this place! The options looked so appetizing from outside the glass, and looked even better on a plate served in front of us! I bought 4 pastries and 2 drinks for 50$ including my tip, and this shop is top tier. Holy moly I have never tasted such exquisite, divine pastry goods in my 17 years of life. I got the apple juice, my mom got the Turkish coffee, which wasn’t too bitter but not too sweet. and for pastries we got the blueberry vanilla tart, pistachio blackberry tart, hazelnut cream choux, and caramel white chocolate choux. Everything was balanced in each flavor, texture, and creativity. My mom loved the white chocolate caramel choux, and I LOVED the blueberry vanilla tart. I damn near moaned when the flavors hit my taste buds. Next time I go that will be the only thing I order because good lord is that crafted by gods hands. This place was an absolute 10/10, i recommend this place if you want a sweet treat that won’t make you feel icky after.

I work next door to their secondary location. I have enjoyed their coffee and masala tea. The vibe down there is chill and the ladies that work there are nice. I was in the area so I decided to stop in and grab an afternoon drink. It was later in the day so it was pretty chill. It was just a couple and myself. I really wanted to try their black sesame latte. It sounded kind of fun to try! But unfortunately it was not available. So after go over their drink menu again, I decided on the saffron tea. My tea came out in a pretty cup with a dainty spoon. I have never had saffron tea before so I didn't know what to expect. It tasted earthy. It was rich in golden color. I did add some honey to it and it was a nice addition to it. I can see myself appreciating this tea that much more if it was colder outside. I enjoyed the venue for a bit and grab a to go cup to take the rest with me. It was nice coming in and grabbing my tea. It was also great supporting a locally woman owned business. I will have to definitely come back and try their highly spoken about dumplings and that black sesame latte.

Such a gem to have. The coffee is excellent with interesting options such as pistachio (my favorite) and ube lattes. The pastries are delicious and so fun to try. My absolute favorite is the dumplings. You have to try the dumplings. It comes with bread and is a perfect savory lunch. I highly recommend Sunshine Spice!

This is a really cute café that has some unique flavors such as saffron pudding. I got two amereti cookies, one coconut and one beet. They were the only gluten free goodies here. Then I ordered a coconut milk hot chocolate with a little orange flavor. They were all very tasty. The person at the counter was very nice and the service was great. Definitely recommend. They offer almond, oat and coconut milk and a variety of teas and lattes along with their baked goods. Try it out! Plus, I mean look at that cute spoon. 🙂

Such a cute spot in Boise to enjoy coffee and dessert! Sunshine Spice Café has both indoor and outdoor seating, and the atmosphere is cozy yet vibrant. We tried the Purple Ube Coffee, Pistachio Coffee, and a Matcha Latte—all beautifully presented in porcelain cups with a tiny silver spoon. Not only were the drinks delicious and unique, but the attention to detail in presentation really stood out. A lovely place to relax, catch up with friends, or treat yourself to something a little different. Highly recommend!
