Disciples Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in Garden City

What I love about Garden City is it's hidden gems. All these new businesses are opening up. And you have to get directions to these joints to find cause they aren't on a busy road. I would have never known about this shop if it wasn't for Google or Yelp. I had an hour before closing so I headed in real quick for a caffeinated beverage.

Pulling up to the joint, it doesn't look like your basic coffee shop. It honestly looks like an office building. I love that they had Disciples in big bold letters on the door. It was a nice sign that I am in the right place.

Walking in, this place is cool. Cool in mood, cool in atmosphere and cool in vibe. It's really quiet and chill. A great place to have an intimate coffee date or work. I was instantly greeted by a gentleman behind the counter. He grabbed my order and got my drink started.

I ordered my usual drink today. A small iced americano with cream. They didn't have any sugar free syrup options which is a bummer. He did ask if I want monk fruit or stevia sweetner, I passed on both. He did offer raw honey so I took up on that offer! He finished my drink and I noticed there wasn't any cream. It was filled to the top so it was pretty watered down. He did pour some of the coffee out and added the cream.

The raw honey was nice but it still wasn't sweet enough for me so I added a packet of blue sweetner. It's a drinkable cup of coffee but it does lack flavor cause it was so watered down. I had really high hopes for this joint. After reading the reviews, I had high expectations. It looked like they pushed out great coffee! The venue and the gentleman were on point today but my drink was a flop.

While waiting for my drink, I noticed all the cool patches from different police departments. Supporting our police departments is so important to me! They protect and serve us so they have my highest respect. I appreciate the different badges on display.

I feel bad that I didn't really like my drink. I do want to come back and try again! I don't know if our addition of raw honey threw of dude while he was making my drink. This place is too cool not to come back. If I'm down Chinden again and I'm in need of a caffeinated beverage, I'll be stopping...

To say that the coffee scene in the treasure valley is competitive is an understatement. I’ve been to just about every artisan roaster and coffee shop in this area. And I have undoubtedly discovered my new regular spot. Not only was the coffee smooth and delicious, but the service was great as well. The folks at Disciple are passionate and generous, craftsman, Who really take serious pride in their work. I ordered a 12 ounce butter latte, made with Irish butter – and my only regret was that I didn’t get the 16. Living in Nampa I’m about 30 minutes from Disciple coffee, but I will certainly be making it a regular stop during my morning routine before work. I also found that their merchandise was extremely fairly priced, and nothing about this place screams pretentious, or overly trendy. It’s the type of business that will stick around for a long time, because of their commitment to excellence, kindness, and...

Coffee and how you like it is a very personal experience. The fact that some people drink Folgers or freeze-dried instant is a bit disgusting to me but hey, you drink what you like and can afford, right?

I am more of a small roaster pour over coffee guy (aka Slow by Slow is the best in town). I'm also a fan of a good cappuccino or latte.

What the guys at Disciples are targeting is I'd say very different. They do lattes, cappuccinos and mochas from an espresso machine but I think they're sweet spot of where they fit in the landscape of other coffee shops is their nitro coffees.

I had a bourbon barrel nitro. Nitro coffees give the coffee a creaminess without the cream.

Just to give a more complete review, I also ordered a butter latte which is one of their specialties. Very yummy.

I'll stick with my daily pour overs but when I'm in the neighborhood, this is a great option for a nitro coffee and...
