I was out exploring downtown Boise for the first time on a beautiful autumn day. The kind of day that makes you want to sit outside and enjoy a nice hot coffee. So you know what? That’s exactly what I did. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and my americano was great. They have a nice sitting area outside where you can just relax and enjoy the sights. When I visit new cities I always try to support local coffee shops if I can, so I was happy to give Dawson Taylor my business. Definitely recommend them to anyone looking for good coffee in the area.

Cute coffee shop indoor or outdoor seating

I visited this place twice ... chic decor... nice atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Quick service . I had once an espresso and now I am having an affogato double espresso with espresso ice-cream scoop . Both are tasty ...I bought their French roast brewed coffee and it is so tasty ! it is highly recommended!!!

Very cute place, great selection and service. Do not get a straw. It will disintegrate before you finish. We ordered smoothies and a biscotti. I would definitely visit again next time were in Boise!

What does it take to get your drink made right? I am a polite, friendly person. I tip every single time. Yet they still screw up about one out of every three Mochas.Again today it didnt taste right, and when I got home I just decided to dump it. Thats when I saw most of the chocolate was down at the bottom of the cup. What the hell? It only takes a few seconds to mix the drink properly! For five dollars I would think they would take time to get it right.

CoffeeVibeLocationJust a great place!

Friendly service :)

Lovely place! Wonderful staff.

Super friendly service + strong coffee!

Came in tonight and had a great cup of coffee. Friendly and genuine customer service and coffee.

Its worth a visit

Choose a chair that looks out to the street and enjoy some people-watching while you work on their Free WiFi. Nothing frilly here.

The coffee is always wonderful and the staff is extremely welcoming and helpful

Great coffee, great spot to work while visiting, friendly staff.

Good coffee.

Nice staff, good variety of drinks.

Great coffee, very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I’m unfortunately was only in Boise for a week and didn’t make it down until my last day. Will definitely stop in when I find myself back in town.

Quick. Tasty. The oat milk cortado was just right.

Had to order twice both tasted poorly after that didnt even try again.. the staff was very helpful though!

Across the street from another coffee roaster. Chose this one at random and I’m glad I did.

No complaints!

Awesome people seem to be working here! Polite, friendly but not the usual superficial customer service, felt like a relal person with actual personality is talking to me. Also was interesting to watch coworkers interact, felt like people are in a good mood and enjoying themselves not just standing behind the counter whispering to each other quietly judging customers like other places haha weird review? Maybe.

Had 2 shots americano in 8 oz cup which was tasteless. They either use not freshly grinned coffee or really old beans. This place is really popular with a lot of people sitting and taking out. This made me think if people really come for coffee here or just coffee flavor. Ive seeing how caramel iced americano was made and I couldnt believe my eyes. How someone can like it. Here are the details. Full cup of ice, in the separate cup a squirt of caramel and a turn of pick salt and a shot of expresso mixed then added to cup with ice and topped with tape water. I really loved the art on the walls though. There was a very pleasant scent of freshly grind coffee when I came in, but I was not lucky to experience it in my cup.

Nice little downtown coffee shop, its got those hipster vibes going strong.

One of the best perks of working downtown is their daily “perk”

Good coffee

The remodel looks amazing

Overall good coffee but I was looking for whole beans, which they have a smaller selection of compared to there other location next to the college

Tasty coffee and friendly service!

Fantastic! Really cool coffee shop, it has a great environment to just sit down and enjoy your coffee which is the best that I have found in town so far. Great location and really good customer service! I would highly recommend dropping in for a cup of coffee.

The location is a really good people watching spot. The coffee is delicious, as well as the banana bread. Staff is friendly and courteous.

I love Dawson Taylors coffee. I buy their beans regularly. They are evenly sized, whole, and consistently roasted. They do a great job bringing out the richness of their many single-source coffees.

One of my favorite coffee shops. Great selection, fresh house-roasted coffee, and you can even get a burlap coffee sack there (cats love them). The artwork inside is nice, but so is the outdoor seating.

Best Mocha in town hands down

I always have fantastic experience every time I go. It has nice selection of local drinks and bites to eat. The staff is friendly and helpful. Its a great place to get a morning pick me up or wind down after a day at work.

My favorite coffee shop by far!! The staff are always so nice and I can get lavender flavoring here which is the best part! Always good Italian sodas and a great selection of coffee and other treats.

Great coffee, ambiance, and seating. They have limited food options but perfect if you are just looking to enjoy a drink and a pastry. Bathrooms need some work, one of them is always out of order so there is only one toilet available for everyone there.

Cute little coffee shop with great chai. Atmosphere is nice. Great place to have a meeting, do some homework, or just hang out. Really nice staff too!

Best camomile tea I’ve ever had! When we went it was fairly quiet. Nice little place for a little pick me up.

Great coffee, weak wifi

Comfortable atmosphere. Good coffee. Yummy food. Gluten Free options. Good decaf and teas. Always enjoy it there.

Unfriendly staff, automatically put my change in tip jar when I was in shop for less than 60 seconds.Go to wildroots

My happy place! The best people and coffee around ♥️

This is the best coffee roaster in Boise and the owner is a coffee wizard. Dawson Taylor has a great vibe and one of Boises best patios to hang out. Dont miss the the beautiful mosaic beneath the counter or the original oil paintings on the walls. 👍👌✌️

Not impressed at all with the $ 4.50 americano .. totally tasteless

We love Dawson Taylor. Been coming here for weekend coffee for years. The staff is great and the coffee is amazing. You cant really beat the ambience of 8th street.

Always a nice place to stop in and get a coffee or snack on a cookie. WiFi is easy to use. I dont recommend the hot chocolate for kids, never had a kid that like it.

Great indy coffee shop vibe, this a go-to spot to catch up with a friend or have a casual conversation. Coffee selection is one of the best in town, really friendly and knowledgeable staff. Not my favorite coffee shop to be at for a few hours working, its a little loud and hectic for that, but perfect for energizing conversation and people watching.

Orange Coconut Coffee with Mr.Pink & Poe 💯 They always have some stellar art to check out while waiting for your crafty beverage.

Idaho original awesome brews great staff and Service, where everyone knows your name.

Love there tumeric tea.... Must try in my opinion.. Nice people to

Good service, friendly workers. I lived The atmosphere, and the Idaho artwork for sale on the walls. The hot chocolate wasnt anything special but it was a decent price and hit the spot on a cold day.

Delicious one cup at a time....even though I dont know what the coffe lingo really is.

Honestly, i just didnt like it. It was my first time going in there and I had a bad start to my day going here. We ordered some coffee and got black coffee with little room for cream so we had to drink black coffee to make room, then after that it took awhile to make the coffee drinkable.

Great place for a cup of coffee or a latte before hitting the market.

The employees are nice and the atmosphere is pleasant but the pastries are stale every single time I go. The espresso is also ok but there are definitely better options in the area.

Great, local, coffee. Always a cool vibe, and great service.

Coffee was pretty good. Liked the wall pictures.

My favorite roaster in Boise. Quiet little shop downtown with pastries from Gastons bakery. The Nutella stuffed croissant is pretty delicious.

The hands down the best espresso around! ☕

Absolutely great service you wont find any better in Boise

This place has the best selection of high quality direct sourced coffee, roasted to perfection. Amazing dark roasts, exquisite medium and lght roasts. Spanning from; Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, Sidamo and Harrar, to Papua New Guinea, to Colombia, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Guatemala and more! The Baristas can make any of the delicious hot or cold coffee drinks that One could imagine and are willing to personalize any drink a customer wants. Also their roastery is only .9 of a mile away. So everything is very fresh!!

Great coffee an plenty of seating. I got a mocha and I could actually taste the cocoa in the mocha instead of just sweetened milk chocolate.

Great staff and cozy location

Great coffee, great atmosphere, and amazing art hanging on the walls makes for a great coffee house experience.

They fill their own tea bags! Delicious stuff!

Jeremy made me the most amazing vanilla latte yesterday! It was transcendent!

Had the chai tea and it was delicious. Love the feeling and the cozyness of it. Wish they had more plug ins but whatever. Really enjoyed my time here.

My absolute favorite coffee shop. Make sure you try the dirty chai tea with espresso

Always friendly baristas. The coffee is excellent.

The best coffee in Boise and very nice attendants.

This place is pretty great. I definitely recommend trying their Italian sodas

Yummy 😁 coffee is always delicious.

The Valleys freshest, most well roasted coffee. I like the drip coffee, especially if the Misty Valley Yergecheffe is on.

Best coffee in Boise! I love their Backcountry Blend even though they rarely feature it anymore...

Locally owned, fantastic coffee and tea, lovely service. One of the reasons theres no point in attending a chain.

Great local joint. Friendly staff. Good coffee.

Every cool kid in Boise knows Dawsons has the best coffee in town.

Great coffee, quick service. Good selection of local pastries

Expensive coffee shop, $5.20 for a medium vanilla breve. Was better than Starbucks, but Starbucks cant make a vanilla breve

The best coffee, period. Great variety of unique blends, roasted to perfection. Wish I had one in my city.

Best place for Craic in town . . .

Quad shot 8oz Breve... its always awesome here

The owner served us being the counter. Knew exactly what we wanted. Very Engaging and Friendly.

Super friendly staff, amazing coffee, and they have cool stickers!!!

Crazy good coffee, friendly and cool baristas. I like that theres a separate sandwich shop connected too.

Best coffee in downtown Boise. Americano is my goto here, always awesome. Great staff!

Excellent coffee. Always greeted happily.

A nice coffee shop.
