Caffeina Roasting Company

They roast their coffee weekly, so it's always very fresh. The space is open and has a nice layout. There is a bar in the middle with a selection of beers and wines. Nice atmosphere. They have a small selection of breakfast items that are pretty good.

This is a great coffee shop - ambiance, wonderful products, good service, but always several of the employees who are preparing food, making coffee, taking orders, are not wearing masks. This has been the case four out of four times. Does the company not care about the health of the customers and the health of themselves? Come on - you are serving food.

THE BEST coffee. We come here for our weekly coffee beans.
Love the atmosphere, the staff, and ohhhh the coffee is just the best.

Quit hating on small businesses with your masks comments. That will be the demise of our country. Go to another coffee shop. We all thank you!

Cute spot for sure and good coffee, but was very disappointed to see a lack of masks being worn by staff and crowded interior space (stopped here 3x during a recent stay in Boise as it was close to my Airbnb). If you’re trying to be careful do not go here. Do better Caffeina!

What a fabulous establishment. Great products, great vibe, and great stance on freedom. Thank you, Caffeina, for treating adults as adults and allowing your customers to maintain creativity, individuality, and the freedom to make their own decisions about their health. I love how you also care for your staff and community.

Love the the feel of this coffee shop. service with a smile and a cup of coffee to remember. thanks for the shining experience. The best ambience to offer in the treasure valley!!!!!

When I went yesterday (late
August) it was crowded and only about half the patrons were wearing masks. Baristas were not wearing masks. People were not 6 feet apart. I was shocked. How could this business be exempt from guidelines and regulations that protect people? I will not go back.

From the Idaho Statesman in July:

If you can maintain 6 feet of distance (in restaurants), you don’t need to wear one. Some restaurants are requiring. If you can’t maintain 6 feet of distancing, it is required.

Well, no one was at 6 feet distance.

I went in here for the first time yesterday morning.
I judge all coffee shops off of my base standard of a 12 ounce latte. I ordered the 12 ounce latte and a plain bagel with cream cheese. The bagel came toasted but with cream cheese on the side, which I found slightly inconvenient but not enough to write this establishment a one star. My one star review comes from the fact that the barista’s working there do not know how to properly time an espresso shot. When I received my latte not only was the milk steamed to the point where it was burned, but my espresso shot sat and was timed so improperly that it tasted bitter and awful. This goes to show that even if you have amazing espresso beans, if your barista’s don’t have a clue of what they’re doing, the coffee will still be garbage. My final thoughts are that this place is overrated and mediocre.

Sadly I feel the need to amend my review from last year. Food quality has decreased significantly in recent months. My friend and I used to come in weekly to order an almond milk latte and sausage bowls. The sausage bowls gradually became more and more inedible (inconsistent ingredients and quantity, gristly meat) and the almond milk started to taste sour. Not sure if that has to do with the steaming process or the brand of milk. Caffeina used to be our favorite coffee shop. Really disappointing. We won't be back.
