"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."

"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."

"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."

"The bowl of soul is still a clear winter, and the interior is older than ever. The place is feeling tired and old, so it really needs some pick up. The staff is quiet and reserved making the place feel unfriendly. Sure Java is here to stay with a great downtown location and a solid menu, but it’s time to primp the place up a bit. Reviewed years ago: Love the Bowl of Soul. Strongly recommend. Logan’s interaction today moved me from 4 to 5 stars! What a difference people make!"

"Pumpkin chocolate chip bred was DELISH, interior is a cool vibe, service was good. I will say I got a specialty drink with black tea, some other flavors, and coconut milk, but all I could taste was the tea. A little disappointing. Also, their prices for food seems kind of crazy. I would come back, but this is not an establishment I will be visiting more than once every two weeks."
