Any weekend that starts with brunch is bound to be good. So, before you head off to look at listings in Boise this weekend, we recommend inviting a few friends out for a tasty meal. You can order something sweet, something savory, or perhaps a bit of both. Here are some of the top spots our real estate agents recommend visiting for a memorable brunch in Boise.
- Big City Coffee & Cafe: 1416 W. Grove St., Boise, ID 82702
If you're looking for a brunch spot in downtown Boise, check out Big City Coffee & Cafe. This restaurant moved to its current location in 2006 and is known for its farmhouse-style breakfasts – served all day.
One favorite at Big City is Rosie's Biscuits and Gravy. Even a half-order is delicious and filling. Another good option is The Rodeo Wrap, which is stuffed with eggs, potatoes, cheese, bacon, ham, turkey, and sausage. For something sweeter, try the Fresh Berry Waffles, which come topped with a generous portion of whipped cream.
- Tupelo Honey Cafe: 150 N. 8th St., Suite 200, Boise, ID 83702
Tupelo Honey Cafe is a quaint cafe offering southern hospitality and traditional American comfort food. Their menu changes seasonally and uses a lot of fresh ingredients.
If you're in a savory mood, try the Tupelo Shrimp & Grits, which are made with chorizo and goat cheese. For something sweeter, try the Mountain Blueberry Buttermilk Waffle. Of course, you can never go wrong with the Chicken & Waffles, either.
- High Note Cafe: 225 North 5th St., Boise, ID 83702
For a plant-based brunch, you can't beat High Note Cafe, a 100% plant-based eatery that makes everything from scratch using fresh ingredients. They're open for brunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 am - 4 pm.
One favorite at High Note Cafe is their potato tacos. Served in mini corn tortillas, they're stuffed with black beans, red potatoes, avocado salsa, and pickled jalapenos. Guests also love the Breakfast Sandwich, made with seasoned, scrambled tofu, fresh avocado, and black pepper aioli on homemade bread.
- Brunchette: 7135 W. State St., Garden City, ID 83714
Stop by Brunchette for a morning meal. This family-friendly restaurant serves all the classics, from omelets to chicken-fried steak. Their Hipster Toast is also a hit. It's white bread topped with fresh avocado and pretty much anything else you can think of: spinach, melted brie, bacon, eggs, or even roasted garlic.
Brunchette offers several vegan and vegetarian options, such as their Stuffed Tortilla and homemade pancakes. Pair your meal with one of their specialty coffee beverages, like a caramel macchiato or cafe mocha.
- Goldy's Breakfast Bistro: 108 S. Capitol Blvd., Boise, ID 83702
Goldy's Breakfast Bistro has been a Boise staple since 1999. They have a large dining room that's perfect for brunch with a big group. Plus, their a la carte menu makes it easy to order exactly what you want.
The Eggs Benedict at Goldy's practically has its own fan club. It's made with black forest ham for a hint of sweetness. For something on the lighter side, try the oatmeal. It's served with walnuts, raisins, and brown sugar on the side. You can't go wrong with a frittata, either.
