Java Downtown
223 N 6th St, Boise, ID
Crema's Take
“This downtown Boise gem strikes that rare balance between serious coffee craftsmanship and genuinely welcoming space, where baristas, bakers, and chefs collaborate to create something beyond the typical café experience. The boho-cool vibe—complete with classic rock on the speakers and plenty of room to linger—makes it equally suited for focused study sessions or catching up with friends over their notably excellent matcha lattes and creative specialty drinks. Early mornings and a thoughtfully curated food program mean you're getting a full experience, not just coffee.”

perfect place to study, plus I love their matcha's 🍵🍯
The pinnacle of all coffee shops in Boise. Baristas, Bakers, & Chefs all do their best. A hip & cozy atmosphere make this place my go-to for studying and socializing. Food selection is wide and very accommodating for all dietary restrictions. The pastries are hand baked every night and will blow your mind. Kudos to the bakers.
I have found so many great places in Boise, but Java is a true gem! Great service, great food, and a great atmosphere. It is a bit boho in vibe, playing old classic rock (which I love) and very comfortable to hang while eating and drinking your coffee. I got a half sweet Mexican mocha (at the suggestion of the wonderful person at the register) and added their home made whipped cream. Amazing! Probably the best I have had. I also got the dirty hippie breakfast burrito and it was also amazing! Come hungry because it is huge!!! I highly recommend for breakfast, great coffee and just a great place in general.
I used to work buy this coffee joint which is only another block down from another coffee shop I used to hit up. If I would have known the vibe of this joint sooner, I would have been in a long time ago. I was in the area so I stopped in for a coffee break. Heard nothing but great things so of course I had to check it out. Walking in, the vibe is very 90's to me. You got the big comfy couches, the decor and music. The music brought me back to high school. It's like I warped back in time to my high school days, with my big backpack and all my homework. I remember listening to this same music with my big mug of coffee. It brought back such fond memories. I got myself an iced americano with sugar free English toffee with room for cream. I appreciate that the sweet barista left enough room for my cream and not fill it to the brim. They have a table fully loaded with condiments for your drinks and food. I added my half and half with a blue packet and made my way to a table. I normally don't kick it for a long time at coffee shops but today, I hung out for over an hour. I love the vibe so much! I chilled for a bit inside and drank the rest of my coffee outside. They have a couple tables facing East so the sun wasn't beating on me. Even though it's a busy area, it was still pretty relaxing. If I could give this joint more than 5 stars I would. All the other 5 star joints I have ranked were great but I will have I say, they don't complete the vibe like how this place does. I really do look forward to coming back and having a another drink here. Great drink, sweet vibe and perfect weather = happy day.
Great coffee shop in downtown Boise! It was packed on a Saturday morning but we were still able to snag a table. My friend ordered the Mexican chocolate latte and eggs and toast for breakfast. Prices are very fair. They have many fun specialty lattes to pick from as well as the typical rundown. The baristas were so sweet and pleasant. It seems like it would be a good place to study at during the week.
