"This place has great coffee. Family run coffee shop. Very friendly and helpful staff. Dog friendly indoor and outdoor. There are blankets for those cold days you want to sit outside. The cinnamon rolls here are awesome."

"I have been patiently waiting for my schedule to align with this coffee joint's hours. The week of the 4th they were closed. They are only open from Wednesday to Sunday. I happen to have today off so today was the day I get to finally check this place out! I love that this place is called Hidden Grounds. It is not conveniently located on your busy road. It's perfectly hidden off of Hill Rd. Perfectly placed in the North End and just a small drive from my place. If I had one word to describe this place, it would be boujee. From the moment you walk up the stairs to get to the front door, you can just tell this place is going to nice. I love the building they are in. The bright white paint with the black trim with the lush trees around it, it's just the prettiest setting. They have warm blankets at the entrance ready for use on those brisk fall mornings. Plenty of tables and chairs outside to enjoy the weather no matter what season it is. I can only imagine how pretty fall season is in that specific spot. Walking in, you don't get your conventional smells and view. It's stunning, bright and spacious. I smelled lavender as my first scent versus smelling coffee. It honestly smelled like an Aveda spa. It could be from the spa next door or the fresh lavender throughout the shop. The lighting, the decor, the setting, it's all just beautiful. The lovely barista behind the counter greeted me and got my drink started. I ordered my usual, a small iced americano with room for cream. I would have liked to add a sugar free syrup but unfortunately they didn't offer any. They do offer quite a few different varieties of organic syrups. I was offered that option but I declined. The shop is on the quiet side, almost a little too quiet. I sat inside for a minute and decided to head outside go enjoy my drink. There were a few patrons working and stitching outside and it too was really quiet. I felt uncomfortable and decided to leave. I have been to quite a few coffee joints and maybe I just like the ones that are a little more vibrant with noise. I snapped a photo of my drink when I got home. I was so out of my element I forgot to take a photo at the venue. My drink was ok. It was on the bitter side. I did add a couple blue packets and a little more half and half which helped tame the bitterness. Glad I came home to modify my drink. I'm sure I wouldn't have finished it due to the bitterness of it. Hidden Grounds is beautiful and conveniently by my home. It's a pleasant drive on Hill to get here. Coming here for coffee would be great but the hours aren't always compatible with my schedule. And they don't offer sugar free syrup options. Even though it didn't really care for my drink, I'm happy I finally got to check this joint out."

"Cute little North Boise coffee shop. Went in for the first time and it was busy in a good way, because it's good. Had an iced butter latte and it was really good, perfect pulled shots, not bitter at all and not too sweet of a drink either. Also has a sourdough bagel and at the recommendation of their employee got it with pesto cream cheese and it was SO good. I'll definitely be back for another one and to try more drinks."

"Came here from out of town while visiting family. Parking is a tad challenging but adequate. Hot and cold coffees were good! Bagels and bear claws and cinnamon rolls were very good! Only issue is address would be to match order numbers to the drinks as they're prepared. Multiple drinks came out and were picked up by people unsure if it was their order or not. And then extra drinks were made and offered for free! Not a bad deal! 😆 Otherwise it's a cool little coffee shop! And say hi to the friendly rooster."

"felt like I was transported to a whole new city and place with this beautifully quaint and wonderfully owned mother daughter coffee shop! yummy pastries and coffees with an amazing atmosphere to enjoy your drink! definitely a new boise staple!"
