Went here for the first time the other day and it was a very fun visit. The atmosphere is eclectic and exiting. The food was delicious. We shared the Gobbler sandwich and a peach pie scone. It was so delicious. That scone is dangerous! My only downfall of this place is that I couldn’t find any high chairs for the kiddos, but if that’s my only downfall, then I’d say this place was pretty great!

It's really great food, and worth going. My only issue is that you need to order at the counter and then get lucky enough to find a seat. If you go by yourself, you're not going to have luck, because while you're standing in line everyone else will have snatched up a table. Go with a group or go super early. The cinnamon roll is fabulous, though rich. All the scones are the side of your head, and look divine. I got the berry waffle, which was perfection. Highly recommend going. Just have a backup plan, because of the seating issues.

First time in Boise, and let me tell you, this small joint doesn’t disappoint! I had their sausage quiche, with side of potatoes. The food was excellent! And so was the coffee! The potatoes - well now, they ruined me from any other potatoes, ever! These were the best! And just spiced. I didn’t even need a ketchup or anything for them! What a delicious meal.

This place is a really cool gem in downtown Boise! The vibes are homey, they have lots of good menu options for dine in eating as well as a bakery case filled with goodies. They also feature small gifts and trinkets for sale and they were all really cool!I grabbed a bakery treat and a caramel mocha to start out with, my friend ordered their matcha and we both liked our drinks pretty well! Then we had breakfast and ordered the loaded potatoes (we added feta and Avacado and some corn tortillas on the side - highly recommend!) and it was a huge portion! We shared with leftovers to spare!It’s set up as communal dining, with nice seating and tables and real dishes! We loved it and will absolutely return!Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options from oatmeal and fresh fruit, yogurt with granola, loaded potatoes (minus meat) and lots of egg options!Dietary restrictions: Lots of dairy free, gf and vegetarian optionsParking: It can be tough to find a spot!Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly as there’s good seating and a cool atmosphere

The farmhouse vibes were cute enough, but the buildup of grime on the slats of the table weren't so cute. The food tasted fine, but took a while to get my to-go order.

Girl at the counter was nice, the food wasn't great, potatoes had way too much rosemary and the quiche was salty. Couldn't finish eating it:( The scone was not great either:( The coffee was good. Just not a place for us unfortunately.

I love the food and tea here! I have not tried the coffee yet but I'm sure it is just as tasty. I had the mushroom quiche and early gray tea, both very good! I took a blackberry scone to go, it was to die for but just a bit sweet, most scones are not that sweet. The seating is a bit tight because you order your food at the counter and then find a place to sit, most tables are large picnic style so you probably will be sitting next to someone you don't know but if you're into meeting people it's a good possibility you will make a new friend. Most people in Boise are very friendly. After you order they will bring your food to you but it is pretty much a self serve place, coffee and condiments are on a small counter, and don't forget to grab your water when you place your order, it's to the left I will make a point to eat here whenever I'm in Boise, good food, good people!

I love this place, I really do. However, with my waffle they brought me hard frozen butter????? Say what?!? Disappointing. Who wants to put cold butter on their warm waffle? I just don't understand the thought process there. Plus, I had to ask the server to remove the dirty dishes that were on the table when we found a seat. They literally were going to drop off my warm drink and walk away leaving all these dirty dishes on the table? And no, they did not offer to wipe off the table for us.

Scone and lemon bar were either raw or had been in a humidifier all day, but both were inedible and had to be thrown away. Cinnamon roll was fine.
