Great coffee shop with a ton of options between their various drinks, snacks, and baked goods. Service was quick and worker was nice. Couple of different seating options to choose from, looks like it would be a nice place to do work or read a book at. read more

Adorable coffee shack in Meridian! They have a small shack where you order at the window as well as patio tables and a cozy tent with lots of seating. I had the bee balm latte, felt like the almond milk tasted a little burnt, but willing to give it another try! My husband had the nitro cold brew which he said was fantastic. They have so many different drinks, including some fun matcha specials. read more

Really cool place. Right off of pine and in the neighborhood. I'm at the owners one of the times I was there and they're very innovative and professional. I generally have a latte when I'm there and it's almost always cold. The person that taste your order is usually very overwhelmed with the workload and it shows. They need to be kinder and calmer. I think they need to treat the customer with a lot more friendliness. People have plenty of places too get their treats and coffees and if it comes right down to it, they may not want to go there because of their lack of courtesy. read more

Primitive Grounds - Time to be better trained and calmer. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

Must visit to this adorable coffee truck ( + heated tent! ). They have some fancy drinks, a current winter coffee menu and besides yummy treats like croissants also some treats for the dogs! They also have smoothies with boosters, matcha menu, dairy free milk alternatives, and a lot of organic flavors. Super friendly and cute ambiance. The heated tent is such a plus, especially in the cold. It has multiple sitting areas from a couch, hammock chair area, 8chair table for larger groups and a little table and chair for "work" or any other type of alone time while enjoying your coffee. Nice music in the background. Service is really good, the menu is extensively large for a coffee truck and pretty fancy! Definitely check out their winter menu. One of the best coffee trucks I've ever been to! read more

We had lunch nearby and saw this cute permanent coffee trailer set up and decided to stop by for an afternoon drink. What a cute permanent trailer with outside seating. It also included a covered tent with a glamping like feel including tables, sofa and furniture for comfy reading, homework, friending. We ordered a hot and iced matcha. The staff were friendly and the drinks awesome. I love that you can shop or eat in downtown Meridian and stop by for a nice treat. We will definitely add this lovely spot to our rotation. read more

Always a stellar experience with a completely unique location. Ever evolving thoughtful menu makes return visits continually exciting and welcoming. read more

My first Boise (okay, Meridian) coffee spot and it was definitely a winner. I'm not sure if I would call it an actual shop, or a truck, or a trailer. Regardless, the was excellent, and the service was outstanding. I went with my go to--a large drip--and it was the perfect start to my day. Great flavor and temperature. The beans who roasted perfectly, no burnt flavor. The "build out" of the parking lot/garden area was adorable. if I would've had more time, I definitely would've popped down in one of the Adirondack chairs to enjoy my cuppa. read more

I was on my way to lunch in Meridian today. I haven't had my caffeinated beverage yet so I stopped into Primitive Grounds. It was on the corner in this neighborhood. I almost missed it when I turned the corner. I have never been to a coffee food truck type stand before. It's a pretty cool set up. Walking up, I see there's plenty of outdoor seating. Pretty potted flowers. It was nicely shaded at the stand so it easy to read thier menu boards. They offer a ton of drinks and baked goodies. As much as I wanted to step out of the box, I got my usual Americano. I appreciate that they have organic syrups here. They even have sugar free organic syrups . I have been to a couple local coffee joints who only serve organic syrups with no sugar free options. You feel almost frowned upon for even asking. Primitive Grounds is not the case! They offer 3 sugar options. So, today was my normal small iced americano with sugar free vanilla and cream. I got my drink ordered by the sweet gal behind the window and checked out the menu while it was being made. Wow! I got an an amazing americano today. It was balanced in espresso, vanilla and cream. The coloring was perfect! You can tell by looking at it that the espresso wasn't watered down. It had the perfect amount of half and half. I did add a couple of blue packets, I do like my drink sweeter. Perfection! It was great stopping at this little local coffee joint. The staff was really sweet! The venue is chill and nice. I appreciate the shaded areas so the sun isn't beating down on you while you're enjoying your drink. They pushed out a fabulous iced americano. I look forward to coming back if I'm ever in the area again. A must go to for your caffeinated drink if you're in Meridian. read more

I wanted to give 5 stars but I'm not sure do I like the place or not. Don't get me wrong food and drinks were amazing! I'm glad we came earlier before there's a line. We went around 10am and there were two people working in there. The lady in there took our order was nice. But when we try to order the food, pretty much there's nothing left. Like literally nothing but only one or two items on the menu, out of many many items in there. So we ended up getting the last Nutella croissant and KOUIGN AMANN. But ended up being told they don't have Nutella croissant anymore after we ordered. Just felt like a crappy experience lowkey. When she took the order was a tad bit slow, so there was a long line waiting. Not saying it has to be like Starbucks or anything like that of course!! They ended up giving us two free cake pops, didn't really get to try it since I'm not a huge fan of cake pop but sweet of them giving it to us! For the KOUIGN AMANN, it tasted delicious!!! It's tasted very fresh!!! The only thing I didn't like is how this shaped and how hard it is to bite it. It's like stabbing my gum with each bite. I got wild rose coffee and I love it so much!! At first to me it smelled like chai, but my husband said it smelled like floral. Maybe we have different nose sense! But when I drank it, it's not tooo sweet and my mouth filled with floral favors! I'm obsessed with this drink. And somehow I think this drink is so strong my hands started shaking but maybe because I got 20oz. It got me hopping around doing bridesmaids duty all day! They were working some small maintenance work behind the truck but very close to the chairs-ish. When they flipped something there were dust and sand flying over to our side and thank god all our food weren't opened at that moment. It's super easy to find parking, it's just street parking and it's not even filled. So yeah overall I'm not sure do I like the experience or not but I do really love my drink!! read more

Cute little coffee food truck near Downtown Meridian. Has a nice outside seating area as well. I got the iced New Moon and my husband got the iced Mellow Mood, both mochas. Pretty decent, although I'm interested to try them hot as I think the flavors got masked a bit by the ice and milk. The Mellow Mood, in particular, didn't really taste like a mocha -- chocolate is waaaay too subtle. Baked goods were from a bakery they partner with, and those are just okay. Great people though! read more

I've been going to Primitive Grounds since they first opened and have really enjoyed watching them grow. Their coffee has always been smooth and well-crafted. Over the past month, though, my last few visits haven't quite reflected the quality I've come to expect. I've noticed some new faces, so I'm hopeful this is just a brief training phase. I still recommend giving them a visit, if you find yourself in the area. read more

Primitive Grounds - Lavender + Vanilla Latte with oat milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

Cute area but really slow service. And coffee is pretty weak. If you don't want to wait 15 minutes go somewhere else.

This lovely little coffee truck is worth my stop! The outdoor seats with shade is wonderful for a summer afternoon. The barista cares about the coffee quality. Since they used the local coffee beans, each bag may got slightly different condition, she made sure the coffee beans were ground in the right way and get the right flavor! I ordered the wild rose. The oat milk's nutty flavor went well with the rose aroma, and well balanced. I'll definitely come to try some other flavors! read more

This is such a cute little spot near downtown Meridian, and it looks to be adding a yoga studio next door! Their drinks are unique and creative. I'd recommend getting there earlier rather than later. We went around 11 and they only had one type of pastry left. I love the shade setup; it makes it comfy to sit outside even in this heat. Very cute place if you live in the area. read more

I've been to this coffee shop several times over the last few months. What an awesome local staple that is a little bit of a twist from the run of the mill coffee shops. The drink variety is super creative. The added tent is such a cool experience that has great temperature control, even on cold and rainy days. Service is friendly as well. read more

I was looking for a place to work from and headed over to Primitive Grounds. I was disappointed to see it was trailer, but then pleasantly surprised that they have a heated tent next door to relax and use the WiFi. The coffee is good, the staff are friendly and were very kind to show me to the tent. Great pastries as well, though they told me you have to get there early to snag them as they are very popular. read more

Best coffee shop based on flavor and personality, the owner seems wonderful and love watching her vision come to life. New staff need a bit of training and don't seem used to their app very well but if they stick around they may remember the regulars. A place worth getting out of your car for. Great coffee, energy drinks, and smoothies with protein too. Love! read more

What an adorable little coffee spot. We're really excited to check out the business on site with meditation and other self-help services as well. The outdoor seating is comfortable and calm. The coffee is smooth and flavorful, with a wide variety of add-ons available. They have something for all seasons and moods. It's a must try whenever you visit downtown Meridian. read more

Visiting my dad over the weekend, my brother and I decided to try this cute coffee spot -- and wow, some of the best coffee I've ever had! My latte was incredible, I had to come back the next day for another. On top of that, the service was amazing. This will definitely be my regular coffee stop whenever I'm visiting the Boise area! read more

We love Primitive! Pass the "stardollars" place right up to come here on the way to work. Price is right, staff is friendly and quick. Beautiful and cozy little corner set up. Their cold foam really stands up to the coffee, doesn't disappear or disappoint. Baked goods and savory treats available as well. Easy online ordering. Stop by and give them a chance, you won't regret it! read more

I love that they use organic coffee and more natural syrups! I got the Chai and it tasted really good and wasn't too sweet: just a natural sweetness rather than the overpowering sugar overload you get from Starbucks. Can't wait to try more of their drinks. read more

Terrific coffee spot with a great selection of matcha drinks, smoothies and delicious coffee. The baked goods are good but sell out quickly (go early! ). Out door seating with nice conversation groupings. Friendly service! read more

After my last experience at Primitive Grounds the owner, Rose reached out and offered to comp a couple my drinks and comp my next couple of drinks. She was so kind assured me she would make things right. She expressed that they were having difficulties with their decaf and that they strive for excellence at a primitive Grounds. I got the opportunity to meet Rose this morning and she was nothing be wonderful! I got a decaf new moon with oat milk, and a velvet fog. The new moon has good notes of dark chocoalte and the decaf was better. I could use a creamier oat milk though! The velvet fog was okay but the lavender was a little strong. They have made their menu even more expansive and I will look forward to trying the matcha next time! read more
