Great indoor and outdoor seating, HUGE breakfasts (good vegetarian choices like tofu), plenty of reusable silverware and mugs, and the best selection of bakery items in Boise. We had the white chocolate/raspberry scone and didn't care for it (hypersweet and doughy) but the pumpkin spice muffin and berry shortbread were divine. Plenty of breakfast items but be prepared to add your own flavorings (salt, sauce) to make them less bland Dining in is pretty sustainable, but takeout is pretty plastic-y. Coffee is excellent. Get there early(ish): we got there 5 minutes before the line extended all the way back to the door.

That's what I am talking about! 5+ stars for being a collectic environment, clean, friendly, humongous portions, delicious Chai tea...the bomb! The only thing I would personally add improvement to is the gravy for the biscuits. It was a little bland. I absolutely look forward to returning every time I am in town! Such a cool place! Love the vibe!

Great atmosphere, clean, could use better GF options, coffee was good.they could make this place exceptional.

If you have ever wanted a biscuit the size of an 80lb bag of concrete, this is your place. Rest assured, the biscuit was absolutely delectable, with a slight crust and soft and slightly sweet interior. Steamed eggs are delightfully fluffy as well, and one serving here is about the size of your average throw pillow. The potatoes were quite savory and yet not too heavy as they are baked, instead of fried. Their baked goods and coffee are well worth the visit. My only withholding would be their bacon. It was cooked well, but lacked a crisp or crumble expected, but hardly a setback as their real are to shine is their coffee and baked goods.

Nice atmosphere and setting! Very friendly staff! I am having tasty Drip Coffee with skim milk! It is crowded and people are having food that looks delicious! Fair prices! It is recommended!!!

Very popular place! If it's busy, it's worth the wait to eat here. The food is delicious and the portion sizes are huge!

Very good coffee, relaxed atmosphere, very very friendly and attentive staff. Latte was above average, the oreo no bake bar I had should probably be illegal (it was excellent but heavy lol).

We went last weekend for bfast and breves. Bfast was great as usual. The breves were done completely wrong. Asked to have them redone. They came back just as bad. This is not the norm. We drank them anyway, and the employee who was helping us asked what exactly was wrong with them. After we explained how they should be made he decided to tell us that their barista had recently quit, and I said whoever is making your drinks now hasn't a clue.

Absolutely love this place! Delicious food and the best staff! We are completely stuffed after this amazing breakfast and can’t wait to come back

great service, excellent food, solid environment
