About Us

At Form & Function, we are more than your typical coffee shop – we’re a distinctive craft coffee haven nestled in Boise, Idaho. We’re firm believers in coffee as an art form, and our dedication to this craft is infused into every cup we serve. From sustainably sourced beans to precision roasting and brewing techniques, each step of our process is thoughtfully curated to bring you a superior coffee experience.

The faces of form

Partners Kate & Scott Seward

Form & Function was born out of a desire to connect our passions for both coffee and people. A place that didn’t cut corners on anything from green coffee sourcing to house-made flavors. An avenue for us to explore new coffees with new friends. Offering our best ideas to the public through education and shared experience.
 
We loved having our hands in every aspect of Form & Functions creation. Starting from the kitchen and garage in our little home, roasting new coffees to package and ship to our friends. Expanding to our local farmers market with our coffee cart to share what we had been doing at home.
 
We never would have dreamed that Form & Function would go on to become what it is today and the part that we get to play in our community. We love Boise, and we feel so honored to be able to give something back to the city that we grew up in. We love that we get to share Form & Function all over the country and meet new friends in new cities where we can build new communities!
 
If this is your first time here, welcome.
 
If you are a long-time supporter, thank you.
 
It is our great joy to share this place with you. Thanks for letting us be a part of what you’ve got going on.
 
Drink well. Stay well.
