Are you a coffee fan? Maybe more like a coffee fanatic? We love a good cup of coffee to provide some fuel for our cleaning jobs. This blog is all about why you should indulge in coffee and gives you three of our favorite local spots to enjoy a nice cup of joe! 

There are a lot of people down on coffee. Don't let them grind the joy out of your favorite buzz! The truth is coffee can be beneficial for your health. Here are some great reasons to grab a cup today:

Antioxidants 

Coffee is rich in antioxidants, which help protect cells from damage and reduce inflammation in the body.

Mental Alertness 

The caffeine in coffee can improve focus, concentration, and cognitive function, enhancing alertness and productivity.

Mood Enhancement 

Coffee consumption is linked to a lower risk of depression and may help improve mood and overall mental well-being.

Metabolism Boost 

Caffeine can increase metabolic rate and aid in fat burning, potentially contributing to weight management.

Reduced Risk of Certain Diseases 

Studies suggest that moderate coffee consumption may lower the risk of conditions like Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and type 2 diabetes.

Remember, moderation is key when it comes to coffee consumption. Too much of a good thing can be bad. Excessive intake of coffee can lead to negative effects like insomnia, anxiety, and digestive issues. Coffee has been a part of the local culture for years. From loggers to farmers, coffee has long been looked to as an aid to getting the hardest jobs done. Throughout the state there seems to be a coffee shop on every corner in every town. Here is our guide to our favorite local coffee shops in the Treasure Valley.

Flying M Coffee

Since 1992 this locally owned coffee shop has provided a place for relaxation, connection, and delicious coffee. With a location in downtown Boise and one in Caldwell, the Treasure Valley has been able to enjoy this local favorite for decades. As one patron writes, “Great staff, great food and drinks, wonderful atmosphere!” 

Push and Pour

You're invited to skate, bike, or stroll on into one of their three locations for delicious coffee and fantastic food. A real city vibe, this is a great place to work from or catch up with an old friend. As one patron writes, “This is such a special place. The staff are friendly and hard working, the products are amazing, and the atmosphere is always nice.”

Moxie Java

Moxie Java is the longest lasting brew house on this list. Moxie Java has been fueling the Treasure Valley’s coffee craving since 1988. With several locations throughout the region, for long-time locals this may be the first place they ever tried an espresso! As one patron writes, “This is the best place to get great coffee whether on the go or for a sit down with friends!”
