First- they are super friendly and attentive- it's not just their baked goods that are sweet. Second, they have so much to choose from, everything was fresh and delicious and the price point is phenomenal. They also do custom cakes, whole pies and even savory foods to take home or for lunch and breakfast. The shop itself is so cute and does offer some seating inside. I am so happy we found this spot and can't wait to go back and try things we didn't get to this time. Definitely worth checking out!

Ok I was here awhile back and there's not much to say. I stopped here on my way to an event that my…read moregym was putting on. I stopped in for doughnuts...because that makes sense, right? Headed to gym event, but needed doughnuts haha! Did they have them? Nnnnnnope! Made me very sad. This place sells their cookies in WinCo and I think Whole Foods. Their cookies are RIDICULOUSLY AMAZING! I could easily eat a bag of 8 in probably half a day lol. Then I'd get all depressed because my bikini wouldn't fit right :( So when I asked about the doughnuts she said they haven't been making them and I think she said it was because of staffing issues. Thanks to the virus and people now refusing to work because the government is giving them too much in unemployment, this is the case with way too many restaurants, bakeries, etc. That's my subtle jab at the current government and what they're doing to the country lol! So I left without doughnuts BUUUUT I did buy a bag of cookies. The same bag I could have bought at WinCo or Whole Foods. She said basically everything they did that morning was make the cookies for the stores and she watched them leave to take them to the stores. Exciting! I felt all guilty as soon as I bit into one of the cookies but OMFG THEY ARE SO GOOD! Have y'all ever been to a crumbl? If you have one where you live GOOOOO! This places cookies are basically they lower calorie version of Crumbl because some Crumbl cookies have 850 calories in ONE cookie hahahaha! Is it worth it tho? Absolutely lol So are these cookies, but if you are trying to watch your calorie intake then maybe stay away because you can tear through a bag of these with ease. Chocolate crinkle and snickerdoodles are my go-to's! Ooooooh! Ok, y'all, WTF is with the twist ties you used to tie up the bags of cookies? STOP using those! They are literally THE WORST! I'm sure they're cost effective but stop! I'm also sure with selling to those two major grocery stores plus selling them in your bakery that you can absolutely afford to use better ties, ones that we can actually open and reuse vs these where you can't just open them, you have to cut the top of the bag and then basically...the bag is useless after that. I know this sounds petty, but ugh they're they worst! Aside from that, this place is super nice. It's in a very weird location tho, I was surprised by that. It's like the only sit down place on this street. Across from them is a warehouse of some sort, half a block up are homes, it's just seems like it would be better on the north end, or NW Boise, basically anywhere other than where it is lol. The staff is super sweet, the ones that were there lol. I'll definitely be going back. Glad my first experience there was a decent one even if they didn't have doughnuts for my heffa ass hahahaha! Thanks for reading, Yelpiiteees! Cheers!

I was in the area on Valentine's day and saw this bakery. I have been down Orchard a couple times…read morethis month and never saw it. I was pulling onto Orchard by the Idaho Youth Ranch and saw their sign. I needed to stop in and see what kind of goodies they had. Walking in, you're greeted by their menu. Lots of goodies to choose from. I appreciate that this bakery uses gut friendly sourdough. My friend who I normally buy my sourdough from decided to take a break from baking. So now I'm trying to find someone who can compare to her delicious sourdough. The store is awkwardly set up. Racks separating the bakery from the store front. If someone is standing in front of the bread rack, you're pretty much stuck until they move. The front of the bread rack is what leads to the front door. But, as congested as it was, the racks and shelves were perfectly stocked loaves of sliced sourdough bread, cookies and rolls. It was overwhelming trying to check everything out without fearing you might bump into someone. They only had a couple options for the sweet goods, I honestly thought there would be more for Valentine's day. There were quite a few options of savory goods. The lady behind the counter said they had a late start so that could possibly be why there weren't many sweets available. I did grab a red velvet cinnamon roll and some chocolate chip cookies for a couple of my Valentines. I was interested in getting a loaf of sourdough for my husband. The only loaves they had available were kinda small. I was hoping for something bigger loaf that would last us for more than meal. The cookies were a hit with my family. I did have some of my daughter's red velvet cinnamon roll. It was killer. The cinnamon roll was soft and flavorful from the chocolate. The frosting on top added an extra touch of sweetness. I only had a couple bites but I could have polished it off easily. Not gonna lie, those 2 things I got were pricey. The singular cinnamon roll was 7+ bucks. It was a decent size but pricey for just 1 roll. The cookies were 4 to a package and at a similar price point or more. For those 2 items my total was 20 bucks. With people budgeting their money now a days, bread and pastries from this joint would be considered a luxury. People want a good amount of bang for their buck. What I got today was good but I don't see myself coming regularly when there's other local bakers that can make the same product for a portion of the cost. My interaction with the gal behind the counter was ok. She was more chatty with a couple regular guests. I'm happy I got to stop into this local bakery and grab a couple things.

Long-ferment sourdough bakery recently opened (about June 1'ish 2024) on The Bench, behind Lark &…read moreLarder in the space that was formerly a coffee shop (that sold bakery items) and then a no-alcohol libation place. You need to know it is there to know it is there and now you know. It may be a little out of the way but it is worth the trip. "AAAHH.."-ROMA MEETS WARM WELCOME: It smells like an "aaahh..."some bakery when you walk in the door. Added to the aroma is the "welcome in" hospitality of the people who work there at the small front counter who will answer your questions to sell you the bakery goods. In a write up at the site the owner says, "It brings me great joy to serve you all." You wouldn't even need to know she said that to feel that spirit in the air. THE EATS: Everything, both sweet and savory, is long-ferment sourdough which is said to be digestible by people with certain gluten intolerance. (I have celiacs in my family and I have to say they couldn't eat a wheat flour bread no matter how it was fermented, but I do understand gluten intolerance takes different forms.) Aside from that, it is delicious for all eaters. The heart and soul of the owner / baker is in this and I'll insert "In Her Own Words" at the end of this tome because what she has to say is so lovely. We were introduced to Pure Bliss when we bought their pizza dough at "backside neighbor" local market Lark & Larder before the bakery was bricks and mortar site. We have subsequently enjoyed their bacon, cheddar loaf and pizza dough purchased at the bakery and we look forward to trying more. CLASSES: Check the site because sourdough baking classes are offered at the bakery from time to time. The next one is coming up in July 2024 and then again in September. Sourdough starter is sold at the bakery too. HOURS: Limited right now, Thu and Fri (11 - 3) and Sat (9-12). So good to know that too before you make the trip. PARKING: Woohoo! They have a small parking lot. It includes one correctly designed and placed ADA spot too. A rarity in this part of Boise. Good for them. ACCESSIBILITY: A van accessible parking spot in the lot. Walkway to the front door and all on one floor with standard height sales counter. SEATING: None inside, this is take and go. But there is a small bench just outside the door. LOO: Didn't notice one but as a take and go place they would not be required to have one for public use by code. GOOD NEIGHBOR: And if you're looking for local produce (like Purple Sage, Fiddler's Green and Waterwheel), animal proteins (like Malheur and Boise River Lamb) and other good things to eat (like Boise's Chocolat Bar and Ferranti Fresh Pasta) plus local craft makers, Lark & Larder is a great place to visit behind the bakery. IN HER OWN WORDS: The owner says the following. I love it. "It nourishes me. It nurtures me. It grounds me. I love every part of it. It's not about the end result, it's about every part of the process. I love having my hands in the dough. I love seeing the bubbles as the dough ferments. I love the aroma of my kitchen. I love seeing the beautiful boule presented from my oven. I love the sound of the crust and the taste of the freshly baked loaf. I love not being in the corporate world or being told how to work or how to run my day. It calms me and I like to eat it too. I don't rush it, I flow with it. It's been part of a growth process for me. It's not about being someone whom I am not, it is about being who I truly am. It is about just be-ing. The corporate world, and the world as a whole broke me. I was empty. I never want to go back to what was. I bake to nourish myself, and as a bonus other people want what I bake too. I love my customers. They are all so grateful to have to be able to enjoy bread again. It brings me great joy to serve you all."

There's beautiful displays of baked goods. All the pastries displayed looked elegant and delicious. They were so pretty that you almost didn't want to eat them. The beautiful employee saw me walk in. I was greeted as she walked behind the counter. I checked out their drink menu. Everything looked fabulous but I went with a small vanilla mocha. I love that they have flavors like saffron and cardamom available. It makes their shop that much more unique. I hung out for a bit so soak in the environment. There's two comfy nooks with beautiful pillows by the window. It allows you to embrace the moment and beauty of downtown. While checking out the vibes, I sipped on my mocha. It was just the right temp and sweetness. It was definitely a great way to start my Sunday morning. I'm looking forward to checking out more of their beverages and goodies. If you're looking for a chill place to have coffee or looking for a cute spot for a coffee date, Sunshine Spice Cafe is the joint to hit up.

Bricks and mortar charming, welcoming, delightful bakery (think along the lines of a neighborhood…read moreboulangerie) Glutonia is a metamorphosis from a home delivery weekly bread subscription service by owners Krissa Wrigley and Wyatt Werner.  The bakery opened sometime in later 2025 and although my husband and I are local-food-focused-folks (I detest the word foodie), it wasn't until we received two "you HAVE to go" recommendations a month or so ago from people whose opinion we trust that we made the long'ish drive from our front door to theirs and braved the bear that is street parking in this West Boise neighborhood for our first purchases, We have been back several times. EXCELLENCE: We are hooked!  The pastries, sweet and savory, are delicious and their high hydration sourdough breads are fantabulous (think in the style of Tartine).   We are particularly fans of their miche loaf called Sasquatch and they will sell this tasty behemoth in full, half or quarter loaf as you choose and they'll hand slice the quarter loaf (the size we choose) if you ask them to.  The baguette are "parfaite" for grab and go style sandwiches to make at home (think jambon beurre). One day when we popped in we managed to get the last of their sandwich creations that day with brie and prosciutto on the baguette. Our pastry favs iare lemony Amalfi and also cardamon delight Andromeda, both in snail form but every pastry has been so worth the calories! I think we've tried them all.   GASTONIA'S DIFFERENCE: There are several sourdough'ish bakeries in the area. Sometimes it is best to let owners speak for themselves for what makes theirs unique.  Here is what Glutonia's owners have to say:  "Our breads are "sourdough," but we don't love that term. We like to think of them as "naturally fermented." The distinction is that we don't make a very sour sourdough. It's kinda tangy, sure, but we want the grain to be the star of the show. And we don't want folks to have to test the structural integrity of their dental work just to get a bite of bread. Sour often equates to chewy, and we're aiming for more edible, neutral tasting bread that you can eat however you choose. It's a pretty tough needle to thread, and we're mighty proud of our results." "WELCOME IN": The people who work here are so welcoming and gracious.  I wish it was in my neighborhood! EXTRAS:  *They have a small coffee set up and the coffee is good. *They sell Boise located Peanut Shop peanut butter and also local (Emmett) grower Waterwheel's fruit jams.  *A few times a year they offer a 4-tray of take and bake cinnamon rolls, We gave those a try with outstanding outcome on Mother's Day. PIZZA EVENINGS: On Thursday, Friday and Saturday between 4:00 and 7:00 you can pick up a pizza if you pre-order it. They offer pepperoni and Margherita and, I think, sometimes a special of the week. You have to go in to place the order (and tell them when you want to pick it up) because they have no phone or online order mechanism. There have been people ordering on mornings I was in for pick up later. I have it on good authority from someone who lives within walking distance and is a frequent eater of their pizza that it is great. PARKING:  Aforementioned bear of a thing on street here.  There is a parking lot in the back of the shops in this new mixed use (retail down, apartments up) building but it often seems full on weekends and some times mid week as it is also parking for the apartment complex.  SEATING:  No space inside for seating but there is a nice patio outside with three 4-top tables that have attached seats and umbrellas for protection from sun or rain. ACCESSIBILITY:  Plenty of clear floor space inside for a wheelchair user to place an order. They do not provide a wheelchair accessible seating space at any of the tables. (They should given ADA requires that IF you are providing seating for customers THEN some of that seating must be accessible to wheelchair users so that they have equal access.)  No ADA parking on street (ACHD's eror because it is required by 1990 ADA law.)  There are two accessible parking spots, one van accessible, in the lot behind the building. Route to the bakery from there is easy alongside the building.  I have a proverbial dog in this hunt since I have had multiple sclerosis since college days.

I am a proponent of supporting local and really steer away from large chains/corporations every opportunity I have. She sent me several in the area and this one stood out to me with the uniqueness of the donuts and seeming quality of the baked goods. When we arrived we were immediately greeted by the staff. Patrick, co-owner, also introduced himself to us and engaged us in conversation. What I appreciated is that he shared aspects of himself but also queried about us. All the donuts looked fantastic so we had to purchase several. The one that was hankering donuts got one with coconut cream and she said it was delicious. I could not quite eat my entire donut, but I got one that reminded me of a Pop Tart and a Toaster Strudel. It was nostalgic in flavor and delicious and they did not skimp on the filling. Also, don't sleep on the savory one. I personally enjoy a bit of savory and a bit of sweet. They have a donut that is essentially like an Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese. So good. I think there were some reviews and opinions indicating that it is too pricey for what it is (and yes we are entitled to our opinions), but one of the donuts from Mojo's is like three of the donuts from a corporate donut spot (which will remain unnamed). Like I mentioned, they don't skimp on the quality, flavor or filling. When in the area again, we will definitely stop.
