When you walk in, it overwhelmingly smells like old urine, damp and dank. They also have tons of Torani syrups so basically commercial flavors, nothing house made. The mexican mocha is not even made with mexican mocha cubes but "powder." They say have nitro but it's not on tap, it's with ISI canisters. It's also not budget friendly. They do have lots of seating options and the outside patio is great. Terrible parking lot and even harder to get in an out but that's par for the course given how hard it is to drive in Star with so much traffic and not enough street lights. Their sign even blocks left turns out of the lot so seems easy to get into an accident. The lot is a huge dip. Although I was there on a weekday afternoon for a few hours, I observed it's moderately popular and people were on Teams calls. Given the limited options, I guess thats why? For now, it's terrible coffee with a bad smell and annoying parking lot. I'd rather drink the burnt stuff down the street at Starbucks which is clean or the burnt coffee at Sea Salt which at least comes with great desserts.

I was on my way back from Middleton and decided to stop in this little coffee joint for an…read moreafternoon caffeinated beverage. I drove past it on my way to Middleton so it was neccessary to stop in while heading back home to Boise. I needed a pick me up! Passing this joint, there's Black Rock, Starbucks and Dutch Bros. Three franchises that are very predictable and consistent. I'm always down to support local so I made my way in! Supporting local joints is so important. Walking in, the shop is really cute. It's two levels which is fun. You instantly hit the counter as you walk in. Merch on the walls. Baked goods in front of you. I wasn't greeted or acknowledged right away. So, I checked out the drink list on the front of the counter while I waited. The gals behind the counter weren't friendly but they weren't rude, they were just there. I asked for thier sugar free options and was handed a list. To my surprise, they had quite a few SF options which was great! You can only do much SF vanilla, caramel and hazelnut. With so many options available, I was excited to order my drink. I got a med iced americano with sugar free peanut butter and white chocolate. I thought I could mimic a snickers. To be able to have SF peanut butter as an option was dope! I did ask for cream in my iced americano. My drink was ready pretty quickly. I scoped out the area upstairs. It's quite cozy and relaxing up there. There's also an outer deck which will be nice for spring and summer coffee dates. I adore the old decor they have. I also noticed all their syrups that they have available! Their syrup game is on point! Bottles upon Bottles! My drink was good. I do wish there was a hair more cream. The flavors were there, I should have added a pack of sweetner to sweeten it a little more but I didn't mess with it. The espresso was present but on the watered down side. It wasn't the best but it was a nice to get that much needed afternoon caffeine jolt. This coffee joint is cute and cozy. I adore the outdoor seating in the front and back of the venue. My drink was ok. Customer service could be worked on a bit. I'm hardly in Star but we will see if I'll be back. Maybe my next experience will be better than today's.

Thank goodness for living in a rainy city ..I had prepared all my life for this moment. When we…read morearrived, it was absolutely pouring, and being from the Pacific Northwest, we didn't think twice about waiting in line .As soon as the rain let up, though, the line grew dramatically, so we were glad we had stuck it out. The bakery itself is small, but the display case is anything but. It's packed with beautifully crafted pastries, each one more tempting than the last. Honestly, everything looked worth trying. We settled on the Rose Croissant and the Lox Croissant Sandwich, and both were excellent. The rose croissant was a standout with the rose flavor delicate yet present in every bite, which is rare for floral pastries. It never became overpowering or faded into the background or tasted artificial.The true star of the meal, however, was the lox croissant sandwich. It was absolutely stellar and one of the best savory pastries we've had in a long time.The coffee was just okay, but that was fine because the pastries completely stole the show. The staff worked quickly despite the steady stream of customers. There is a bit of seating both indoors and outdoors, although most people seemed to be taking their orders to go ,perhaps because of the weather. If you're visiting, come for the pastries. They're absolutely worth the wait.

Absolutely delicious pastries! We originally stopped by Janjou looking for coffee, but the coffee…read moreoptions are limited -- essentially black coffee or coffee with milk, with only cinnamon and sugar available as sweeteners (no flavored syrups). If you're like us and like specialty coffee flavors like salted caramel, lavender, honey, etc., this probably isn't the spot for your coffee fix. That said... the pastries are absolutely worth the visit! Everything we tried was beautifully made and delicious. Just a heads up: it gets very crowded and busy, so I'd recommend arriving early or going in with a little patience. It's not typically a quick grab-and-go stop, but the pastry treats make it worth slowing down for!

The walk-in store is fairly small: maybe four or five different kinds of pastries and a couple of breads. Simple and quite nice. I got a Kouign-Amann. About the size of a muffin. Wow. Just perfect. Also a Gruyere-ham croissant. Sooo good. Cinnamon roll wasn't overly sweet, a little dry for me. Coriander-rye bread is the best rye I have ever had. Ok, I am not much of a rye person. I am sure I will be back every week. Will upload some pictures.

What once was the best sourdough bread that I have ever had, is now an uneventful, below average,…read morepoor texture and taste lump of baked dough. It is a shame to see the quality of this product diminish, so quickly and thoroughly, but it has. I have brought Gastons sourdough bread as gifts, to other foodies, across this country, but today, wouldn't put my word on the product being produced. What was once a chewy, hole riddled, tasty and sour, sourdough recipe, is now, glorified white bread, except the flour being used for the past year or so, is "YELLOW", and so is the bread, baked to no attempt at a uniform degree of doneness. Sad, truly sad, whether it's poor management causing the use of substandard labor and ingredients, ownership lost it's once impeccable quality control, or ownership changed, and Gastons is now sold out to a lousy commercial bakery, such as "Franz". Not to mention, a loaf now runs almost $11. I'll pay $11 for a quality food product, but not yellow, "white bread" baked with no passion or love. Like most companies today, Gastons has failed at adjusting to today's business challenges and lost managerial control. I hope ownership returns to doling out their own Q.C. as their bakers and current management, surely have zero care about the product that is being sold. A shame for sure, and additionally, I used to downright crave the chocolate almond croissant, until it shrunk 50% in size, while increasing 60% in cost. Only poor management, and the lack of not wanting to sink one's complete time and energy into a company, would lead to ridiculous cost increases, and dramatic product deterioration. Good luck, but much like quitting buying croissants, when the product didn't match the cost, I will need to seek out a different sourdough loaf, from now on. Thanks for the few years of stupendous sourdough that I got to experience, but I'm afraid that is just another lost memory. I feel for any business owner today, as today's workers, are more interested in anything other than the tasks at hand, in front of them, and the survivability of the folks that employ them.

Even with that disappointment, we'd definitely come back and simply ask them to leave off the mustard next time.
