Java – Hyde Park

The coffee here is AMAZING. I got the Zen Matcha and the Keith Richards. The Keith Richards is one of the best drinks I’ve gotten anywhere. I wish I lived in Boise so I could come here regularly. The service was great, and the place itself has plenty of seating and lots of light. Love it here.

Java is just about the only place I’ll get coffee. It’s usually packed, but for good reason. Service is friendly and efficient. The coffee is awesome, food menu is simple but delicious. Employees are awesome!

You’d think by looking at this place at 9am on a Thursday that it is decidedly the best place in town. Or maybe it’s just where all the parents go after dropping their kids off at school. Regardless, it was packed and standing room for breakfast here this morning. We placed an order and we’re lucky enough to have a table open up before our meal came.
Given the crowd or arrived reasonably quickly and wasn’t much to look at. My Avocado on toast was a little bland, but I’m the one ordering avocados in November in Idaho, so I cannot fault then their lack of color and flavor. The scrambled eggs will fill the belt and my hubby’s huevos rancheros looked deconstructed… but not in that artsy uptown fashion. He said the ingredients were solid and he was just good to have food in his belly. We had driven all night from Denver to Boise and were a little worse for the wear. I would consider coming back to try the coffee but the rest of the menu leaves little to be desired.
Cute décor, fun idea, and well enjoyed by the locals. Not for food snobs.

Good place with good coffee/​people!

The combination of a coffee shop with good coffee and a convenient location always feels like a victory. This Java serves up some reasonable (though not life changing) coffee and is conveniently located near Camel’s Back park along Hyde park. Not worth going out of the way for, there are better breakfasts in Hyde Park and downtown certainly, but also not the greatest tragedy to eat here.

Java is my local go-​to coffee spot because of its convenient location (and really only coffee place in the vicinity) but also because they have great drip coffee. Staff is always friendly and make quick work of your order. They carry Amaru Confection’s gluten free muffins which is a plus. The lines can be long on the weekends during peak coffee hours.

We are staying around the corner at a VRBO apartment. I have a class downtown this week and my wife wanted to come down with the kids to play while I’m learning things. This has been my morning ritual every day to grab a latte and breakfast before I head out. The environment is comfortable and great to hunker down for an hour or two and study if I want to. It gets busy in the morning but just get up earlier than the crowds.

This is no Starbucks. Delicious coffee and Real breakfasts. Eva, toast and crisp but juicy bacon. Warm neighborhood setting, welcoming locals and us out of town guests.

The bowl of soul mocha was pretty awesome, though the place was absolutely packed when we went! It wasn’t all bad though, we took our coffees and walked up to the park to enjoy them. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you want a break from your usual coffee routine. Great stuff!

Much quieter than other cafés, which is a plus for me. However the pastries are not the best. Had a muffin and it was very dry.

fantastic service, amazing food, lovely staff and fabulously decorated. I have been to all their locations and absolutely love them all!

The first time I saw Java was in the winter morning of 2012. The same year I moved to Boise and encountered big snow.
I still remember that day. A sense of mystery slip through my sight as I drove by the dim light window. A man was sitting under the European curtain reading a newspaper inside the shop. The cup on his hand must be warmy and cosy. I thought to myself.
Then in the early Spring, my friend, Jay and I came in for our breakfast after the jog. We had two plates of avocado toast with eggs. I have to admit it was one of the most memorable breakfast I had. Really healthy and fresh. And I love the fact that the shop is in the heart of downtown. On Saturday morning, I can walk to the local market from here:)

Great little joint! I can’t wait to relax on the patio this summer. Coffee is yummy to your tummy, the people are nice to your… I can’t find a rhyme… oh well, you get my point, go relax and mingle.

Everything about my original review still stands: Great location, darling atmosphere, awesome service, interesting patrons, and fantastic coffee.
What I would add:
Came for lunch and had their tuna melt. It was absolutely fantastic. Served on sourdough, the tuna was not mayo-​y at all, but rather herb filled and flavorful. It was topped with tomato steaks, jack cheese and cracked pepper. It was ample and served with a side of tri-​colored tortilla chips. My dining companion enjoyed their tortilla soup and was quite happy with his selection as well.
So, my main addition to my previous review is that I would definitely and unequivocally recommend this place for lunch!
Get to it!

This place has been a north end gym since it opened. It’s the best place to meet a friend for a cup of coffee, or have a casual meeting. plus their dirty chai’s are the best in town. The. Best.

They can make the best poached eggs in town! & great hollandaise sauce as well. i really like the one downtown a lot, although the one in Hyde park is for whatever reason, pretentious. Makes me feel sort of uncomfortable.

Traveling here from Maui and I think we found our favorite coffee stop! This is our 2^nd time in, and first time ordering food items. Ordered the hummus plate and hubby had the BLT. He mentioned the bacon was cooked just for him and was a thicker meatier cut than he normally has. His sourdough bread was pleasantly toasted.
All in all, a fun lunch experience! We shall be back!

Came here for breakfast I got the croissant sandwich. The steamed eggs were mushy, hardly any cheese on the eggs and the croissant was good but wit the mushy/​watery eggs it made the bread soggy.
I did enjoy the atmosphere and location of this java!
Coffee-​was GREAT! I had the bowl of soul with their homemade whip it was delish! Their coffee brand is a good quality too.
Overall I would go back but for their coffee only =)

Best cup of coffee you can get in Boise. The location in the north end has an amazing atmosphere with friendly people, plenty of room, and fast WiFi. The manager, Emily, is amazing and it definitely shows in how well the place is run.

Java is my favorite café in Boise. The coffee is excellent, and the patio is a perfect place to relax and people watch while enjoying my beloved almond milk cappuccino. Yep, I said almond milk! I was overjoyed when I discovered that Java offers unsweetened almond milk during my last visit to Boise, as it’s hard to find coffee shops that serve milk alternatives other than soy. *Claps!*
In addition to delicious beverages (be sure to try the Bowl of Soul if you’re in the mood for something special), Java offers an extensive breakfast and lunch menu. I really enjoyed the Huevos Rancheros for brunch last week, but my go-​to order is the «Skinny Mini» — two poached eggs with cottage cheese and sliced tomato. A great way to start the day!
