Hyde Perk Coffee House,

1507 North 13th Street, Boise, ID 83702

"Excellent little coffeehouse with house made scones, breads and lunch fare. The baristas were very friendly. I recommend the cinnamon scone with an Americano, sweet bites between coffee sips."

"Walked in on a typical Hyde Park Saturday late morning. There was no line, so I approached the young lady working her register. I gave a cheerful greeting and was met with a surly, stone faced non response. She seemed as if I was interrupting her quiet time, and she had more important things to do. I just shrugged my shoulders and walked out. There is a perfectly fine coffee shop just down the block, so my family and I now make our weekly trips for coffee and breakfast in Hyde Park at Java."

"This review is based upon the Avimor location. Peaceful place to go as far as location and interior design. Can be busy. Staff is hit and miss. Some of the young gals are very friendly, others can be very friendly to some customers and cordial at best to others (and not just ourselves). I have been in at 5:30 (they close at 6) and it was quite obvious that she was not happy I came in at that time. Asking for a mug to drink my coffee from was like pulling teeth as she wanted me to use a paper cup. I ended up feeling pushed to accept the paper cup. Music as also is very loud, you really have to raise your voice or lean in to communicate to the person you are sitting with. If they play music it should be classical or jazz and played softly. Lastly, I cannot stand the fact that they allow dogs to come inside. I love dogs but they do not belong in a coffee shop - this isn’t CA, plus dogs carry germs. I hope they can make these changes with the dogs, music, and a more consistent staff because the owners seem genuine and it is a lovely coffee shop"

"Delicious butter pecan latte. Loved the decor and atmosphere"
