Wow! I love their coffee. They serve beer on the other side of the coffee bar. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop is clean and bright.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My barista was great and helpful. Their banana bread was a bit dry but the sourdough cinnamon roll was the most delicious thing I ever ate. I just wish they could invest on the air frier to warm up their food or pastry, not microwave. read more

We've passed by Blondies way coffee many times and finally decided to try it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is spacious and seems very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is also really nice. The staff were very nice! We ordered the mexi-mocha, iced matcha with strawberry and soy milk and we also ordered a pastrami sandwich. Everything was excellent! The mexi-mocha was hot and you could really taste the cinnamon. It gave me a cozy feeling that you normally get during Christmas. The pastrami sandwich was full of flavor and packed with meat! The matcha coffee was also bomb! Overall, the entire experience was great. The coffee and the sandwich were excellent and I definitely recommend it! read more

I've been here a few times and my opinion never changes! Definitely one of the best cafe/coffee shops out here in Boise!

Staff are always so sweet, welcoming, and nice! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cute and casual place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Love coming here! read more

Opened in Fall 2024 in the building that once housed Pho Bac, a Vietnamese eatery owned by the sweetest senior woman where I used to love to eat Bun Thit Nuong before the Fire Department closed the building in about 2020 for "..."life safety concerns with non-permitted propane and electrical work as well as other violations." It sat vacant and every time I drove by to go to and from Neighbor Tim's (a GREAT BBQ kiosk take out place) next door, I wondered what would become of the building. I was wishing for Tim to open a sit down service eater, but alas wishes don't always come true. This year the Blondie's Way owners decided to remodel and reinvent it into a coffee house, something that should be popular in this part of town with little competition for it and a high school nearby and a parking lot pretty easy to pull into as one drives by. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is light and bright, cool or cold for interior design depending on one's point of view. Sparkling clean as a very good thing[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. My first, and probably only, visit here was a couple of weeks ago. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Americana to go was good and price point competitive but the rub for me is almost all of the seating is high counter and table height.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] As a person who has had multiple sclerosis since my college years and can't climb up on those, this is a no go. So coffee grab and go and not sit down to try out the eats or other things. I read a great article a month or two ago, in EATER I think, where people of both genders who were in their early 30's were complaining about the need to use only high tables in so many places. One of them said something like, "The closer you get to 35, the more you realize high table only seating is a bad idea because almost no one wants to use it." True that. And I can't so there's that too. I don't know, maybe the high school kids, like the one who wrote the FTR here and employed what it seems he learned as "word of the day" that day to describe "insane" and "insanely" issues with service waits and prices will like those high perches. I laughed with that kid not at him because I found neither wait nor prices to be quite "sane", but I wasn't a teen on high school lunch break. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I hope owners of all kinds of businesses, this one included, consider comfortable seating that works for everyone. In particular, grown ups[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. read more

Blondie's Way Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boise, Idaho

I'm all about supporting local coffee joints so I had to try Blondies Way today! This venue used to be the old Circle K back in the day and then Pho Bac. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Needless to say, I'm quite impressed on how they remodeled the joint. It's bright, the flooring is beautiful and it's spacious. The esthetic is very modern and clean. The windows in the front give it so much natural lighting, it's great![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's plenty of seating and tabletops to enjoy your drink, socialize or do homework.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The one thing that throws off the vibe is the neon signs that they have and the strung black lights. It feels out of place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Today I grabbed a small white mocha with oatmilk. The gal that took my order was really sweet! She was patient as I was looking over their menu. My drink was made pretty quickly as I came at a slow hour. There were quite a few baristas so I'm sure you won't be waiting too long for your goodies. My drink was delicious! You can taste the white mocha but it wasn't overly sweet. You can also taste the coffee without it being too bitter. It was perfectly balanced. I also appreciate the size of the coffee. I grabbed a small and it came in a good sized cup. I know a few local joints that use smaller portions so it's nice that they don't do that here. You get enough bang for your buck! If you're looking for a local coffee joint to support, hit up Blondies Way. I know they just opened up so have a little grace when it's busy. I'm excited to see them prosper. read more

Blondie's Way Coffee - White mocha with oat milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boise, Idaho

This review is based on the delicious coffee but also my personal preference for coffee shops. The drink itself was great - I got a basic vanilla latte, and it was really smooth. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere-wise, it felt a bit dry for me. It wasn't as comfy as my other favorite spots.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There also isn't a full food menu for breakfast, but they do have lunch paninis and some pastries. The staff was nice - I could tell they were comfortable with locals coming in and already had regulars they knew. Overall I think a good spot for a quick coffee and/or business meeting. I work from a lot of coffee shops and probably wouldn't pick this one as often as others. But def try some of their drinks! read more

We stopped into Blondies right after they opened and were pleasantly surprised. Pastries are delivered from Pastry Perfection and I tried a danish with a soda. The danish was delicious but the soda was a little flat. My husband and friend ordered a mocha and a coffee and both were excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was friendly, prices were good, and the inside is very cute with a great ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I love that it is right outside my neighborhood, conveniently located across from Eagle High School in the old Pho Bac building, now decorated beautifully. They also make sandwiches, so I'll definitely be back to try those. read more

Walked in standing at the counter gentleman talking to two other ladies how about he wants to promote his business? I'm still standing there. He doesn't even look at me. Doesn't even acknowledge me walks right past me sipping his coffee goes over and talks to another employee. I continue standing there, hoping to make eye contact nothing so I turned around and walked out and then he comes out to my truck apologizing, and I explained to him your customer service should be excuse me, sir. I'll be right with you when you ignore me as a customer. I will never come back poor poor service and I enjoyed your coffee. read more

Drinks were delicious, white mocha breve is definitely better than Moxie Javas. Tried a new drink which is a brown sugar shaken espresso with oat milk but don't think it's my thing, but if you like that type of espresso drink then I definitely recommend. Lady at the front with blonde highlights was very nice and patient. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Little building was cute and I love the flooring; it's a nice touch![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Had higher hopes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Small selection of pastries. Six dollars is too much for a cinnamon roll, didn't even finish it. Also, parking is horrible to get in and out. Not worth it read more

I come here almost every day! By far my favorite place in Idaho to get matcha, not only matcha but the coffee and pastries are amazing. The staff are very friendly, they remember my dogs names and writes them on their pup cups, by far the best customer service I have ever gotten at a café. I suggest the ham and Swiss paninis as well! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also the location is looking right out to the mountains and it's a great view.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The café it's self has great seating and an excellent environment I love it! read more

My Mexican mocha with 1/2 chocolate was impeccable and my daughter's sourdough cinnamon roll was delicious! The owner's dad checked on how we were doing and told us about building this place for his hardworking daughter. I hope lots of people have as great an experience as we did! read more

The drinks were good (4 out of 5). The chocolate covered donut offering was delish (5 out of 5). [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is not warm and inviting. It feels a little like the Glamour Shots of coffee joints.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is obviously personal preference and should be considered as so, but it didn't seem to me to be the comfy place to hangout as stated on their website.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But, we just wanted coffee, tea, and a pastry, and for that it fit the bill adequately. read more

We go to Blondies almost every Sunday. We love the coffee but it is a little sweet so we always order half sweet. I love that it is customizable that way. The staff and owner are always super friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And it's a family friendly environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Love blondies. read more

Love having a coffee shop within walking distance now! The chai latte was delicious. My kids really enjoyed the caramel apple cider and Italian sodas. Good assortment of pastries. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loving the 80's vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Only recommendation would be maybe some sound absorbing tiles on the ceiling or walls to make it a bit less echoey.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely be coming back often. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Charming place w/great pastries and coffee.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of different seating arrangements, however, the air conditioning was turned up so high we could not sit inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sitting outside it was to noise with the traffic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Probably will not return. Too bad. read more

Great coffee and drinks! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable! We love Blondie's Way!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]What a difference a remodel makes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]So happy to see this space in use again.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very clean, bright and warm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll be back. Free wifi read more

Finally was able try to try this place out, tasty sweet Americano, one of the few places that doesn't make a bitter americano. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean, spacious, pastry options.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely spend my money here. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Service excellent, coffee good, ambiance excellent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Quiet. Closer than you think and a good location that isn't appreciated. I'm often looking for a place to meet up with friends or groups that is centrally located and is quiet enough to talk. Blondie's would be a good choice and alternate for some of the places on Chinden, Glenwood, and Ustick. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very new, bright and clean with plenty of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good drop coffee and nice tea selection. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It may be busy during Capital High lunch, but had plenty of seating on a Friday morning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Im looking forward yo seeing them continue in this space read more

decided to come check this place out for my lunch break from school it's literally across the street. everything's insanely overpriced for the quality the drink we got just tasted like milk. They also took insanely long to get our sandwich ready we have a 40 minute lunch break and we were late to class. it's not even a 1 minute drive from the school. That is genuinely insane to me. read more

Three of us went to the opening day the 25th of Sept, 2024. We had sandwiches, cold drinks (the Monarch lemonade was soooo good), drip coffee ( very good, no bitterness, very fresh)! The panini sandwiches were nice and warm, very tasty. We also tried the banana bread and a maple bar, according to the maple loving Canadian that had the maple bar it was the "best freshest maple bar he's ever had!". We will definitely be back, want to try the seeded bagels that looked very full of seeds! Such a nice clean and beautiful atmosphere inside, tables and chairs, or couches and great friendly waitstaff! read more
