    I am always getting coffee towards downtown Boise or in Boise. I thought I'd step out of my comfort zone and try other joints in Eagle since Eagle is right next to me. Today's Eagle pick is JoVinos. It's conveniently 5 minutes away from my house. I have driven by this place hundreds of times and never put two and two together that this is a coffee joint. I have been to Caffeina heading towards downtown on State and their downtown location a handful of times. It's nice to know there's another one heading in the other direction for me to hit up. Pulling up, this venue is stunning. I love the tables outside but you also see the beautiful outdoor seating available, how cozy and romantic. I walked in and can already tell by the esthetic of this joint that it's a branch off of Caffeina. The plants, chill vibe and unique set up. This coffee joint is so sexy and chill. The colors of the decor, the green lush leaves, the way the tables and chairs are set up. You can hang out and not realize how much time has passed by. Out of all the coffee joints in town, I would have never thought I would use sexy and coffee together but at this location, it fits. I ordered my regular drink today. Med iced americano with some sugar free white chocolate. The barista that helped me was sweet and got my drink started. She was kind and asked if I wanted to pour my own cream, it was nice to have that option. I'm not picky so I let her make my drink how she saw fit. My drink we delicious! Rich in espresso, the perfect amount of cream and slightly sweet. I sipped and enjoyed my americano while enjoying the cool atmosphere. I sat towards the back where there were huge comfy pillows. I would have loved to enjoy the outside seating but the air conditioning was feeling too good on this hot summer day. I know this joint acts as a wine bar as well. A nice option to come in for wine or coffee for the non drinkers. Plenty of seating for few friends to come in for some beverages and gossip. This joint is nothing like anything else in town. Romantic, sexy and chill. I can't wait to come back by myself or with a few of my friends. I can see this place being a hot spot for a night cap. The waterfall, patio lighting and your favorite person. That would be a great way to end any date or get together. I look forward to having a night like this here.

    Chardonnay and wine not sweet roll!

    Jovino's in Eagle is amazing! I could walk to this place from my hotel and stumble back after the wine! Cute little place, it is like a coffee shop married a wine bar with very friendly baristas. I had the pleasure of talking to a young barista who also fought wild fires during the summer. I did not catch her name, but she was a delight to speak with. I enjoyed several glasses of chardonnay at the bar and my sweet tooth got the best of me and I ordered this delectable sweet roll which hit the spot! I wish I had a Jovino's in my hometown! I will be visiting Jovino's again this summer! Cheers!

    The best place to start your morning, check your emails, and have a great cup of Jo! And the quiche.....

    Green tea in a plastic tea bag. This tea company should know and do better, but why is it being offered in Jovino's?

    Love the ambiance and upscale feel of this place. They have a nice variety of offerings and serve wine as well. They also have an outside area that is very nice and welcoming. Employees are really friendly. One thing I don't really understand is tea, that many folks drink for its health benefits, comes in plastic tea bags. These have been know to leach microplastics in the tea that we end up consuming - plastic is not meant to be consumed. It is a toxic load to our system. So would be wonderful if JoVinos would source a healthier brand.

    Friendly staff and perfect decor- the right mix of white with wood elements, and plants. Looking forward to sitting outside on the covered patio with waterfall when the weather gets warmer. Good food and plenty of beverage options!

    This coffee/wine shop is so cute, honestly name a better pairing than coffee and wine. They have incredible outdoor seating that would be perfect for the summer months. They have a wide variety of wines from various regions across the world. Whether you want a glass or a bottle, they have it all. I loved the ambiance inside this establishment. It gave elevated coffeehouse vibes. I didn't get any of their small plates, but it looked like they had great options!

    Wine, coffee...JoVino - get it?...breakfast bowls and wraps
    Michele R.

    Joe (as in coffee) and Vino (as in wine) = JoVino's, a combination of coffee bar for a.m. and wine bar for later hours (although, I guess one might be able to buy vino any time) is by the same owner / investors as Rembrandt's and Caci in Eagle so that connection provides a bit of what one might expect here when it finally gets its' groove on. (Open now but not running at full speed at first it seems.) Like the other two by same owners this will find its' demographic in the area for locals who have more interest in gathering in groups to sip and drink together than in great food or stellar service. A step above the "YO Duude!" and "Sooper Cute!" audience but not quite the quality wine bar audience focus. Not that there's anything wrong with that, as Seinfeld and Costanza would say. And it is genius for how it fits the local demographic. After our first visit we'll wait a bit to go back and see if once fully set things are better orchestrated. And I'll close my comments with those of the owner(s) as posted on web site so readers can see where this is intended to go but it is not yet there. That as preamble, here's the rest: THE VIBE: Walk in high ceiling, lot of windows space with seating at a couple high tables, 1 communal, 4 lounge chairs at a fireplace and 3 tiny "one top" size standard height tables against a wall at back that probably would seat 2 people each but every inch of all 3 tables were taken up by two people with laptops and work documents spread among them...rude of them. A wall of wine bottles are on display at the back en route to the (2) loo. The bulk of the seating, all of it at convenient standard height including upholstered sectionals and tables and chairs, is outside on a big patio. Outside seating has overhead heaters and a water feature. This is going to be at the heart of popularity for this place, outside gathering. Smart. THE DRILL: High bar counter on left is also order counter with a big menu on the wall above it. Everyone who entered on the roughly noon hour when we were there seemed unsure of what to do, us included, and stood far back to look at the menu. Nice guy behind the counter called out he could take orders. My hubby ordered our Mexican mocha and stepped over to look at wine display while he waited and a nice woman came out to ask if this was his order and handed to him. I don't know if they'll do table service or not when full open. THE MENU: Coffee beverages of many kinds and wine that can be purchased by glass or bottle. While the advance marketing on this described it as small plates format to go with wine, the only food available currently seems to be a handful of breakfast items - bowls and handheld items. Looks like the small plates options are a ways out but with what seems like a minimal kitchen, not sure what they will be. THE JOE: One of the things we enjoyed at Rembrandt's when we were customers there was remarkably good coffee. (We finally gave up due to woeful food at times from inconsistent kitchen and too many instances of lackluster service all things management could address...this was 2019 so not pandemic issue...but didn't.) Alas, the great coffee didn't transfer to here if our experience was the standard. The Mexican mocha tasted like cinnamon syrup sweetened milk with not a trace of chocolate or coffee. THE VINO: Bottles displayed on wall were diverse and seemed curated to offer a number of choices across price points. We are old winos...umm...well seasoned oenophiles...and my husband noted by bottle prices seemed comparable to those at retail locations like the Boise CoOp's Wine Shop. My understanding is, and this may be wrong, given the close to retail pricing of the bottles (most places mark up by a lot) they will charge a corkage fee for service on site if you consume it there. ACCESSIBILITY: One ADA parking spot in front. Ample floor space at order counter. Seating inside at 3 small tables MAY have floor space for wheelchair users. Loo are accessible. Patio has clear path of travel between seating and standard height tables. LOO: Two uni, a good plan when beverages are the main service. Auto matic water faucet set to cold water only on our visit...brrrrr. DRIVE THROUGH: They have one. PARKING: Private lot. OWNERS MARKETING NOTE: "JoVinos will have its own proprietary espresso and coffee blends with simple breakfast items and grab and goes for the morning.  Lunch offerings will include salads and craft sandwiches.  And for the evenings, tantalizing small plates will complement the wine offerings.  We will feature roughly 140 bottle selections at aggressive retail pricing, and for those relaxing by the fire or enjoying time with friends by the water feature, we will serve you and just add a corkage fee for the service.  We will also feature rotaing wines by the glass and beer by the bottle."

    This place was absolutely amazing with a group of 20+ for a book club meetup. They went above and beyond to make our evening special. The food was presented beautifully, the service was excellent and the staff all had smiles from ear to ear. The wine selection was superb. The coffee was excellent. The patio is perfect for winter or summer. The indoor space is cozy and comfortable. I highly recommend this pace for a date night to a work meet up!

    The vibe in this shop is so cool. It's sleek and modern , it looks expensive and fancy. The prices are very fair. The chai was good - I am more of a sweet chai lady and this was a little more spicy. The service was very fast.

    I've been meaning to check JoVinos out for quite awhile, so today I finally did. The ambiance is modern yet inviting , the staff attentive and knowledgeable. The food was artfully presented and tasty. My friend and I shared a Burrata and Prosciutto board, plus the Meat and Cheese board. Both the coffee and wine selections were extensive, certainly something for every taste. The patio looked amazing - a definite place to try when it's a little warmer ( although, I think it is heated.) This is the perfect place for meeting friends then leisurely sharing food, wine... or coffee!

    Salmon Lox, Hummus, Burrata & Prosciutto.  All deelish!!

    Wifey and I finally stopped by after many intentions. Super happy we did! We'll definitely be back often!

    Well this was a fun little find! I just needed to pull over and get some quick paperwork done. They have a great bottle selection to take home as well as an extensive in shoppe variety. Ambiance is lovely, especially considering it's right off of a busy State street!

Ambiance is kind of like a dive bar. Food was not the best and a bit overpriced. I tried the beef barbacoa tacos and pulled pork sandwich. The taco was okay, but the pulled pork was pretty dry even with the bbq sauce. Ordered an Old Fashioned drink with my meal. I always judge a bar by how they make the traditional drinks like Old Fashioned, mojitos, and Long Island ice tea to name a few. It was bad. Not sure how they got it bad. Too much bitters? Cheap alcohol? I don't know. The "highlight" of my night was an interaction with the bartender lady. After all the eating, my friends and I stuck around outside to chat. I decided to go back in to grab a beer.The Yakima Blend IPA caught my attention so I asked for that. I pay $13 for it. Bartender gives me my cash change. I leave a $5 bill as tip (on a $13 beer!). She takes it and asks, "That's it?" Too good for a 40% tip? My company keeps an unofficial list of must-try and stay-away-from hotels and restaurants near our offices in various states. Old State Saloon has been added to the stay-away-from list as of a week ago.

Our burger and fries were split and served on two different plates, which was greatly appreciated. The burger had a nice flavor though a tad under seasoned and a notch more than medium-didn't blow my socks off, but it's a solid burger. The fries were the star, as they were crunchy, yet pillowy soft inside, covered in a lovely batter. I wouldn't mind going again and trying out the restaurant side, it was a nice visit to the lounge. They only had one bartender for a large crowd and she hustled really hard to keep everyone happy...I just felt bad that she didn't have much help.

And with the view by the patio, how can it not be the most perfect setting to enjoy my birthday dinner. We just stuck with water since it was on the warmer side today. We just went straight in for dinner. As much as the appetizers sounded lovely, I was ready for the main event. So for dinner tonight I ordered the charboiled salmon with seasonal veggies in place of the salad. My salmon was plated beautifully with nice char marks on it. The veggies were a variety of squash and were sautéed nicely. And you can tell visually that they were seasoned nicely with spices and herbs. I dug right into my salmon. My first couple bites were delicious. I did spread some of the sun dried tomato butter on my salmon. The butter was fantastic! It added a nice flavor element to the salmon. After I ate about a a fourth of my salmon, I noticed that it was not cooked all the way through in the middle. With my new kidney, I can't have rare or undercooked fish. My immune system can't handle a parasite if the fish were to potentially contain any. I shouldn't have assumed that it was going to be cooked all the way since our server didn't ask how well I wanted it cooked. I did have to send it back and have another one remade. While my new fish was being prepared, my server gave me a small salad plate to transfer my veggies to. I got to work on them so I wasn't staring at my family eat. The veggies were cooked perfectly. They weren't overly soft or still raw. It had a nice bite to them while still being tender. Unfortunately, they were overly seasoned and was on the saltier side. I was hungry so I polished them off. But I did have to drink a good amount of water to help with the saltiness. Thank goodness the portion was on the daintier side. As hungry as I was, it would have been bad if it was a bigger portion. All that salt would not be good on my new kidney. My second round of salmon came out. Was it as pretty as my first plate, no but it will do. I'm sure they set the flame on high, let it sit on the grill for a while and then flipped it to cook the other side. I have cooked salmon well done plenty of times and have it come out tender. When you cook for a living, having cooking times for your dishes should be down to a science in your kitchen. Unfortunately, the salmon was super dry and flavorless. As hungry as I was, I ate it. The butter did help with the dryness of the salmon. But I shouldn't have to rely on butter to make the dish edible. For my birthday, I got a free dessert. I chose the gluten free carrot cake. My cousin eats a gluten free diet so I thought this cake would be perfect for all of us. I enjoyed the cake very much! The cake was moist. The spices in the cake were fragrant and very noticeable in each bite. I loved the frosting on the cake. Since the cake wasn't overly sweet, the frosting added a nice sweetness to it. I enjoyed the cake very much! Our server did a mid job. There were times when she would be gone for long periods of time and we had to wait for her. The patio was perfect with its stunning view. Dinner was ok but dessert was fabulous. Overall it was a decent experience. I do look forward to coming back and enjoying the outdoor patio with my husband for a date night. I just know now to make sure I vocalize everything to my server so I don't end up with dry salmon again. I do want to come back and have a better experience.

I ordered the huevos rancheros because what feels more California brunch than that? When my plate came out, it looked weirdly plain and honestly kind of sad. Then my friend's huevos rancheros arrived and hers had all the toppings, sauces, avocado, etc. So apparently mine was missing half the dish. When I politely asked about it, I got a surprisingly snarky response that immediately made the whole thing uncomfortable. I really don't think I was rude about it at all. But the part that genuinely grossed me out was the mimosa tower situation. Two of the four glasses at our table literally had lipstick stains on them, and the others were cloudy/smudgy enough that we noticed immediately. That's the kind of thing you can't unsee once it's sitting at your table. I honestly don't really understand the hype because this place is constantly packed. Maybe we just caught them on an off day, but between the mediocre food, awkward service interaction, and dirty glassware, I don't think I'll be back. I'd personally rather wait for a table at The Griddle or have a calmer breakfast at Rembrandt's instead.
