    So happy we found this place! Great customer service. Super friendly and great at listening to modifications that was needed. They were open to modifying the drink to what you needed. They make their own creamer that was so good! They also make their own chai that is ginger forward. Luckily for me, I love ginger so he dirty chai I had was perfect. Absolutely amazing. I would 100% come back and I intend to! Otherwise, the space inside is cute, cozy, and clean. There is a parking lot so they have plenty of parking. I definitely recommend coming here when you're in the area and need a pick me up!

    Cozy and cute little coffee shop in a strip mall. My family is so glad we ventured here during our time in Boise! Service was friendly and nice. Husband and I got a breakfast sandwich. The egg is served poached but can be served as hard boiled if requested (thank you!). They had run out of their good bread, so we just got sliced sandwich bread (my advice would be to expect this if you are getting the breakfast sandwich during lunch hours). The sandwich itself was delicious and had lots of layers and a kick of spice with the Chipotle sauce. Would definitely order again! Oh, and the primal latte is DELICIOUS! The cinnamon on top is a nice twist to such a classic drink. P.S. the mugs are beautiful ! I would have loved to purchase one if I wasn't traveling

    Cute little coffee shop. Fun decor! Very cozy and seating straight out back into alleyway. Solid latte almost drank it all before taking pic

    Not sure why it took me so long to get here - they had been open 8 months by this point! But thanks to a reminder and a friend's gift card I finally went, and it was not a disappointment! It's slightly hidden if you don't know it's there - like diagonal across the street from STIL. My favorite marker moving forward is the rad Datsun truck that says "not powered by Dutch Bros." The vibe inside is exactly my favorite aesthetic - chill, industrial with exposed wood and some piping. It's very speakeasy and has its own unique accents with the guitars for sale, as it's also part music store. The seating is so cool too - there's tables per usual but also this corner area that's cozy and also makes sense for the space. Lots to look at too, which my one-year-old loved. So get the primal coffee, which legit every person can in after me said to get or got for themselves. If you're more a latte gal, get the vegan primal latte. The housemade cream is oat milk-based and DELICIOUS. I didn't get food this time, so this review is based on drink and ambiance. The baristas/founder were so chill too. You can tell they value their patrons, know coffee, and respect the craft. I think they're at the Saturday market too, so I'll catch them there as well. Will definitely go back - don't sleep on this place! Also, Yelp says they're closed Sundays but their hours on the door said 8-1:30 Sundays!

    Breakfast sandwich minus avocado as they were out. It's a cheese crusted croissant too! Mmmm

    Super tasty coffee and food! Oh my Lanta... The breakfast sandwich is freaking mouthwatering! Every single bite I just kept saying wow... wow... mmm! WTH mmmm!!!! Even my husband's coffee, the Primal Coffee, was absolutely amazing and I actually should've gotten that. Ha! We usually don't like the same things but wow. It came out and was just right, as was my vanilla latte! Service was chill. Thanks!

    It's always a treat when you get to visit the spot you wonder about but have to keep passing up due to always having somewhere to be. But Primal Coffee is a place to just BE. And once I got there, I'll keep getting there. The coffee is inventive and curated. I like my coffee black but even I appreciate the uniqueness of the namesake coffee. Primal coffee has condensed milk in it and boy am I glad that's made the leap from coffee relegated to other cuisines and landed in Boise. Decor is eclectic and calming. The space is small but cozy. Be warned that if you roll in on a Saturday morning you'll have a lot of company. They serve coffee in specialty mugs. The owner makes his own chai that's ginger-forward in a wild way. Service is quick and friendly. The purveyor will explain menu items and may even surprise you with a taste test. If you want to keep your coffee joint local, Primal is it.

    Pics don't do it justice. Just do yourself a favor & come in and feel it for yourself.

    Best coffee in town in a warm spot. Add to that the very competent and friendly staff, and you cannot go wrong.

    Primal is my go to coffee shop in Boise. Try their mocha or chai! The breakfast sandwich is also incredible.

    The last time I came into Goldy's Corner, I had asked the girl that helped me if they had apple…read morefritters. I guess apple fritters are not a consistent pastry that's made. I was suggested to call in and see if they were some available the day of. So, I called in this morning to do an apple fritter check. I talked to Emily this morning. I was told that they don't serve apple fritters. So, now I'm confused to whether they do or don't sell fritters. She did tell me that they have apple bear claws and an apple bread available. I asked if a bear claw could be set aside for me. With it being Saturday morning, I wanted to guarantee a bear claw after I got off work. I wanted to take one home to my husband since I promised him one. I headed in around 9:30. It was chill so I probably could have just snagged one but I wanted it to be a guarantee. The gal behind the counter grabbed my bear claw. Paid for it and made me way out. On my way to the car, I couldn't help but be baffled to how light the box was. I got into my car and opened the box up. Bro, to call this pastry in this to go box a bear claw has to be a joke. A bear claw to me is big, palm size. Multiple people handling a big claw size. I was so disappointed at how tiny this bear claw was. Honestly, to have it be called bear claw is criminal work. And to have it be pushing 5 bucks is criminal work too. Don't get me wrong, the bear claw was decent. It was frosted. The pastry portion of it was soft and buttery. There was apple but very subtle. The size of it is comparable to street taco but fluffier. To compare a bear claw to a street taco is just insane to me.

    Goldie's corner is just that, a restaurant located on the corner where you can grab a cookie and a…read moresmall bite to eat. Note: this isn't the full Goldy's restaurant as that is next door. We enjoyed our coffee with unlimited refills and took a booth where you can people watch and we could see the capitol building. Friendly staff and good coffee. I appreciate the variety of baked goods and even the discounted day old items. Good place to grab a coffee when you don't have much time. Loved the artwork on display too. Several little tables here and booths and one larger table. My quiche was good. Everything I expected and I got the day old banana bread which was dried up and hard on the edges and soft in the middle. I guess that's why they discount it. After a day it doesn't hold up too long.
