Okay, so I'm REALLY glad I came here.

Very cool space and great ambience. My only suggestion would be to add a bit of lighting. I was trying to read under the sign and it was quite dark. Still giving 5 stars due to the coffee and friendliness of the staff. Thank you!

I would have never known about this shop if it wasn't for Google or Yelp. I had an hour before closing so I headed in real quick for a caffeinated beverage. Pulling up to the joint, it doesn't look like your basic coffee shop. It honestly looks like an office building. I love that they had Disciples in big bold letters on the door. It was a nice sign that I am in the right place. Walking in, this place is cool. Cool in mood, cool in atmosphere and cool in vibe. It's really quiet and chill. A great place to have an intimate coffee date or work. I was instantly greeted by a gentleman behind the counter. He grabbed my order and got my drink started. I ordered my usual drink today. A small iced americano with cream. They didn't have any sugar free syrup options which is a bummer. He did ask if I want monk fruit or stevia sweetner, I passed on both. He did offer raw honey so I took up on that offer! He finished my drink and I noticed there wasn't any cream. It was filled to the top so it was pretty watered down. He did pour some of the coffee out and added the cream. The raw honey was nice but it still wasn't sweet enough for me so I added a packet of blue sweetner. It's a drinkable cup of coffee but it does lack flavor cause it was so watered down. I had really high hopes for this joint. After reading the reviews, I had high expectations. It looked like they pushed out great coffee! The venue and the gentleman were on point today but my drink was a flop. While waiting for my drink, I noticed all the cool patches from different police departments. Supporting our police departments is so important to me! They protect and serve us so they have my highest respect. I appreciate the different badges on display. I feel bad that I didn't really like my drink. I do want to come back and try again! I don't know if our addition of raw honey threw of dude while he was making my drink. This place is too cool not to come back. If I'm down Chinden again and I'm in need of a caffeinated beverage, I'll be stopping in here again.

As a family, we bought my husband a 5-Course Coffee-paired Brunch at Dawson Taylor Coffee for…read moreFather's Day! It included 5 pairings with food, coffee education, and a free tour of their roasting facility! My husband is a notorious coffee snob, so this was perfect. It lasted a few hours, and was lovely. We chatted with others at our table, enjoyed some delicious food, coffee, and even peaberry tea (a favorite). My husband especially enjoyed the roasting facility tour, which was led by a well-educated coffee enthusiast. She handed out amazing facts, generous tips, and favorite coffees. It was an incredible experience, and my husband couldn't stop talking about it. Follow their Instagram to be in the know of upcoming events. And know their coffee is excellent!

I got labs done at the hospital today. It was so pretty out that I decided to walk and make my way…read moredown to get some coffee. I usually hit a couple local joints that are right by the salon I work at. Conveniently, Dawson Taylor was right there so I took it as a sign to head in. This coffee joint is so cool. Walked in and instantly noticed how pretty the shop is. I was greeted right away. I told the gentleman that greeted me that I was going to use the ladies room real quick. I will have to say, the bathroom is so dope. I love all the quotes that were written on the walls. You don't realize how long you're actually in the bathroom when you're reading all the tiles. After reading a handful of tiles, I finally made my way out. I got my usual coffee when I try a new joint out. Gives every shop an even playing field. So I got myself an iced americano with sugar free vanilla and room for cream. I had asked the barista for cream to be poured in the back by him. I had told him about my new kidney when I ordered and that I can't really use communal things. He proceeded to tell me the cream was at the table. I really didn't want to use it but I did. I poured a little of it out before I added the cream to my drink. I also used a napkin to hold the handle. I try not to be a germaphobe but it's hard not to be when your immune system is non existent. I made my way outside to sit under the sun and absorb the afternoon energy. I did add couple packets of my sweetner to my drink to sweetnen it a tad. I like my drinks on the sweeter side. Wow, this drink is absolute perfection. You can taste the espresso. It was very present and bitter. It wasn't watered down and light. I appreciate how bold the espresso is. The cream added a nice richness to the drink. The sweetner did enhance the taste of the vanilla. This americano was so good! I ended up walking to Cecil Andrus park and enjoying the rest of my drink there. It was just what I needed this afternoon. This joint is just another block away from the salon I work at which will be so nice and convenient to head down to for an afternoon caffeinated beverage. Another joint I will have to frequent. I will be back soon for another round of this fabulous americano. Especially after a long day at work.

The space has beautiful natural light and lots of windows, making it a really nice place for meetings, catch-ups, or slower coffee mornings. Every time I've been here, I've seen a mix of church groups, casual mom coffee meetups, study groups, and people working quietly in corners. It has that welcoming neighborhood coffee house energy where people settle in instead of rushing out. One thing to know -- they're still fairly new (within their first year), so the line can get LONG, even in the afternoon. This is definitely more of a leisurely coffee stop versus a quick grab-and-go situation, but the atmosphere makes up for it. They also have an awesome patio and regularly host events, so I'd definitely recommend following their Instagram if you want updates on events and seasonal drink specials. Parking can be a little small and congested, but honestly that's pretty par for the course around here and not enough to stop us from coming back.

Bright Vibes, Excellent Service, and Delicious Drinks!…read more If you are looking for a great new coffee and pastry spot in Boise, Coffee With A Twist is a must-visit. The interior vibe is bright and inviting, featuring comfortable pink squishy chairs, retro couches, and standard tables. The customer service here is top-notch. I ordered the Blueberry Cinnamon Roll Twist and asked for it warmed up, but received it cold because it missed the note at checkout. When I brought it back, the gentleman at the counter was incredibly polite. He explained that they normally serve it cold so the cream cheese topping doesn't melt. I told him I didn't mind the melt, and he immediately warmed it up for me. It was phenomenal--warm, rich, and even better than the standard Cinnamon Twist (which was also excellent, flaky, and perfectly spiced). I also tried two drinks: 1. Iced Banana Bread Latte with Cold Foam: Super creamy, sweet, and absolutely delicious. 2. Vanilla Bean Matcha with Oat Milk: This was my first time ever trying matcha. Because I have hypothyroidism, I read up on how matcha can be beneficial for thyroid health depending on the milk and syrups used. I was nervous it would taste like dirt, but the oat milk recommendation was perfect. It completely smoothed out the earthiness, and the hint of vanilla made it incredibly delicious.I am officially a matcha convert and will definitely be back to order it again. Big thanks to the friendly staff for a great first visit!

Walking in, I see my boss enjoying her drink! I knew it was at the right place when I saw her! The barista let me chat for a minute before I got to ordering. For my usual, I grabbed a small iced americano with room for cream. I totally spaced on asking for any sugar free options so but biggie! My drink came out delicious! It was perfectly made with the right amount of ice, espresso and cream. I added a couple blue packets of sugar and it was perfect. It was just what I needed! The venue is very bright and inviting. It is smaller but small isn't bad, it's more intimate. I love how simple this place is, not a lot of distractions. I found another great coffee joint downtown to add to my favorite list. I look forward to coming back and grabbing another drink.
