The plating is also very well thought out and was on theme without being overly done. A touch of culture, jazz and class. Except for Guy Fieri being on the wall. Haha. As for the taste of everything. The baklava was a bit too sweet for me compared to others that I've had. The blackberry lemon tart was perfectly balanced and just the right size to satisfy my sweet tooth. My favorite part of the experience was my spiced tea latte. Perfectly balanced with spices and milk. Would probably be my addiction if I lived in Boise. The many awards and praises are displayed on the wall and all the goodies back up the reason why this place has had so much attention. Definitely worth checking out!

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!

I've tried two drinks while I was in town: Snickerdoodle latte and a regular latte. They're both really good! What I really like about this place is Angie (I hope I spelled your name right)! Angie's energy and friendly personality suckered me into trying a drink. I originally wasn't going to try anything as I was just looking for food at around 4pm, but she got me, haha. Yes, I stayed up super late due to drinking coffee but oh well! I'm so, so happy I did decide to try it out. Plus, it's local so why not?! You can adjust your sweetness level if you ask. They also offer smoothies, teas, and other specialty coffee related drinks. There's plenty of parking spaces as it's in the plaza where Edwards Cinema is. As always, don't forget to support local businesses and tip if you are able to.

To my surprise, there was one left so I snagged it! To my surprise, there were two cutie little donut holes in the bag. I ate them and they were so soft.

On the morning we stopped in there weren't a lot of choices and judging by the size of the cases on the counter that's typical. We tried buttermilk, cream puff, strawberry frosted heart shaped donuts and a glazed croissant. My daughter rated the cream puff donut a solid 5 star! I give major props to that little glazed croissant- it was delicious but I also appreciate that it wasn't huge. I felt satisfied but not sickly full afterward. I tried the buttermilk later in the day and it wasn't okay, the frosted donut for a similar review from my daughter- like, solid food donuts but nothing we couldn't find at the local grocery store bakery. Worth the stop if you're in the immediate area, not a destination spot though.

I have driven by this shop a million times but never got the chance to make it in. After checking out all their photos and goodies off their website, making my way in today was a must. The shop is very small and intimate. You are immediately greeted by all the goodies as soon as you walk in. Colorful macarons, the cutest cheesecakes and beautifully displayed scones and muffins. The display case is nice and bright, allowing you to be able to see the details and coloring of each macaron. The pretty piping on the cheesecake. The fun layers of the cakes. It was hard not to want one of each thing out of the case. It was our first visit for my daughter and I. As a new customer, you're trying to absorb everything about this store. You want to look at all your options! The gal that initially was going to help us pretty much just stood there and stared at us. Didn't really talk to us. Didn't ask if we had any questions. She had the most unpleasant look on her face. It honestly made me feel so unwanted and uncomfortable to be at the shop. I offered to let another customer go ahead of us so she wasn't just standing there waiting for us to order something. The second customer also needed some time. Finally a gentleman came in and she got him some coffee started. Another gal was working and she helped us. At that point, I was so turned off about getting anything but we were already there so we decided to grab a few things. My daughter and I decided to share a 6 pack of macarons. We snagged lemon, birthday cake, coffee, chocolate, creme brulee and cookies and cream as our flavor choices. She also got a red velvet cheesecake for us to share after dinner tonight. On our ride home, we broke that box of macarons open and had to try them all. The lemon was sweet and tangy, I love the lemon custard in the middle. Birthday cake reminds me of a pink frosted animal cookie. The chocolate was my favorite! Very chocolate forward and sweet. Coffee reminded me of a vanilla latte in cookie form. Cookies and cream was much like cookies and cream ice cream. More cream forward and less chocolate cookie. Creme brulee had sugar toasted on top which created a slight bitterness to the cookie but it was balanced with how sweet the cookie was. All 6 macarons were fabulous! I look forward to having the red velvet cheesecake after dinner tonight. I like that there are so many gluten free options at this bakery. I adore how petite and prettily decorated the pastries were. I appreciate that this joint is local as I love supporting local businesses. But, first impressions are so huge for me and my first impression of their customer service wasn't there for me. You can push out great products all you want but how you make someone feel during their purchase can make or break your business. As fantastic as my macarons were, all I can think about was how uncomfortable I was when I was just being stared at. Macarons and cheesecake can be purchased at a few joints in our valley. I'm happy I got to enjoy some goodies with my daughter but I'm going to go support another local business that will actually make me feel like a valued customer and not a bother.

The other person there was great though! I was drawn in by the array of unique flavors and vegan options. I had really wanted to get something boozy and vegan, but they only had one flavor on at the moment that fit the bill and I wasn't particularly interested, so I sampled a few of the dairy boozy flavors and went with a vegan non-boozy ice cream for my actual order because a full scoop of dairy ice cream does not sit right in my stomach. I liked the boozy flavors more but that was only because of the flavors offered - the vegan ice cream itself was great, very smooth and creamy, not overly sugary. I got the float season vegan ice cream: blackberry ice cream with salted dark chocolate. I did still enjoy this flavor a lot. I really liked the crunchy bittersweet dark chocolate bits. I didn't get anything to drink but I was kind of tempted. The ice cream + beer or wine flights looked interesting. I don't know wine well enough to comment, but it looked like they had a good selection of beer with quality brewers and a good variety of beer types. This is technically a Warehouse Food Hall vendor but it's only accessible from the street outside the food hall. I wasted a few minutes wandering around the food hall trying to find it before I looked outside. They have a fair amount of seating inside and outside.

There is a certain appeal to this store that you cannot shirk from. Not only do they sell ice cream, candy, fountain drinks, and popcorn, they also sell Stuffed animals and letters/cards. It's a throwback to the days I never got to experience. To make it even better, it's only a short steps away from a small but interesting toy store next door!

Kate Shelton has been baking cheesecakes since she got her first mixer in 2003. As a stay-at-home…read moremother of four, baking became her escape. Kate's cheesecakes became a family favorite and in time, others began to hear about them. In January 2018, Kate opened Say Cheez Cake, a Boise-based cheesecake delivery service that delivers in the Treasure Valley, Magic Valley, Pocatello and Utah. Kate offers a constantly expanding list of flavors that come in five different sizes: bite-size, minis, slices, 4" personal cakes and 9" cakes. Every week, slices ($7) are available in three different flavors. Gluten free, ketogenic and vegan options are available upon request. I tend to be a traditionalist when it comes to cheesecake. I prefer classic cheesecake, or if I'm feeling wild and crazy, cherry cheesecake. Places like The Cheesecake Factory are of no interest to me. First, I have no interest in ordering dessert at a place that doesn't make them in the house. Second, most of the flavored cheesecakes seem to be made by people that don't enjoy cheesecake. How else do you explain the glut of cheesecake shaped desserts with so many mix-ins that they no longer bear any resemblance to cheesecake flavor-wise? On 11/1/20, I ordered a slice of Dutch Chocolate with Chocolate Ganache ($7) that was scheduled to be delivered the evening of 11/3/20. I was busy working and completely forgot about the cheesecake delivery so ignored the doorbell, assuming it was a solicitor. A short time later, I received an email informing me that my cheesecake had been delivered to my doorstep. I openedthe door and found a beautiful orange bag with Kate's logo on it. The bag was heavier expected. Imagine my surprise when I opened the bag and found a business card thanking me for my business that had a handwritten note, "Biscoff on me! Thank you." Beneath the slice of Dutch Chocolate cheesecake was a slice of Biscoff Cookie cheesecake!!! Kate's cheesecakes are so good that they have caused me to re-examine my assumptions about flavored cheesecakes. Turns out, I'm not a traditionalist after all Until now, I just never had a great flavored cheesecake. Everything about Kate's cheesecakes is perfection. Not only do they look beautiful, but the texture and flavors are remarkable. I also appreciated that neither of the cheesecakes was overly sweet. I look forward to trying many more of Kate's wonderful cheesecake flavors. With the holidays just around the corner, it's the perfect time for you to try them too.
