Best French Bakery in Nampa

"There’s a lot of great stuff about The District, so let’s get started: 1) They are a non-profit coffeehouse that sends proceeds to an orphanage network called Send Hope. 2) They offer internships for refugees in Boise. 3) They have a system of “Pending Coffee” where those with extra income can pay in advance so someone less fortunate can still enjoy a wonderful cup of joe."

"An Instagram-worthy seating area and specialty coffee are par for the course at Form & Function, one of downtown’s newer coffee shop additions. Nestled in the lower level of the Fowler, a luxury apartment building, Form & Function is making waves in the local coffee community with quality roasting and espresso drinks. Hours: Mon-Fri 6:30AM-5PM, Sat & Sun 8AM-5PM | formandfunctioncoffee.com511 W Broad St, Boise, ID 83702 | (208) 433-5108"

"For immediate morning joe there’s downtown’s artisan Guru Donuts and Form & Function Café serving fresh-baked scones and avocado toasts. Mornings are the best time to hike and mountain bike the scenic Boise Foothills. Boiseans love Camel’s Back Park trails meandering up the hill for tree-filled valley views. Maps and daily trail conditions can be found at The Ridge to Rivers Trails website."

"Dawson Taylor Coffee Roasters is a low-key hangout and neighborhood gathering spot with bright artworks on the walls that serves house-roasted coffee, espresso drinks, and freshly baked goods in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Named after owner Dave’s son, Dawson, the coffee shop has been roasting exceptional, artisan coffee since 1995 and has two locations across town, where coffee is freshly roasted on a daily basis in two traditional European drum-style roasters. The roastery on 8th Street in the heart of downtown Boise offers tours of the roastery where visitors can watch the roasting process and enjoy freshly brewed coffee drinks at the pour-over bar."

"Push and Pour is just steps away from the Boise River Greenbelt. Inspired by the owner’s own passion for skateboarding, this hip coffee shop (once an old autobody repair shop) is filled with 70s-era skateboards mounted to the walls and fixtures made from old skateboards. It’s located right along the Greenbelt in the heart of Garden City — an industrial sector turned artsy, up-and-coming neighborhood."

"Right outside downtown Boise is the burgeoning Live, Work, Create district, full of wineries, breweries, restaurants, and venues. Push and Pour is a part of this energetic area and offers delicious coffee in an industrial, vintage-inspired atmosphere. The relaxed feel of this coffee shop fits well into the artsy, avant-garde vibe of Garden City’s newest additions."

"This up-and-coming coffee shop in Garden City was created to be a place for skaters, artists, and musicians to meet over a cup of coffee. Inspired by the owners’ passion for skateboarding, this space (once an old autobody shop) features 70s-era skateboards mounted on the walls and fixtures made from the wood of the owners’ old skateboards."

"This 153-acre park offers plenty of wildlife and bird sighting opportunities. This popular park is part of the Idaho Birding Trail and showcases the wealth of wildlife and natural fauna found in the local area. Ann Morrison Park has bocce courts, soccer fields, a disc golf course, cricket fields, lighted softball diamonds, an outdoor gym, and a sand volleyball court."

"Harry W. Morrison gave this park to the city in remembrance of his late wife, Ann. This park is large with different walking paths, water features, benches to enjoy the river scenery and a dog park. For fun activities there is a playground, golf disc course, horseshoe pits, and tennis courts."

"Located on the Boise River, Ann Morrison Park offers sporting areas for volleyball, bocce, cricket, soccer, softball, tennis, and disc golf. A dog park, playground, and outdoor gym are available, along with a nature trail for bird-watching."

"A haven for meat lovers, Barbacoa is a stylish restaurant featuring succulent steaks from local sources and flavourful Latin American fare created by Mexico-born chef Enrique Martinez. Diners can begin their meal with guacamole made tableside served with plantain chips followed by the cowboy rib eye — 24 oz. bone-in rib eye chop served with chipotle onion rings and borracho beans — or paella with braised seafood, chicken, chorizo, tomatoes, and saffron rice."

"Barbacoa is very unique in that it is both an old Boise restaurant, and a brand new Boise restaurant. This is because the building burned down a few years ago, and they completely rebuilt from the ground up. Barbacoa’s menu includes everything from nachos and pizza, to smoked duck prosciutto and carne asada."
