Big City Coffee and Cafe

It took a minute to be seated but the wait was worth it. Went for their breakfast and enjoyed every bite! If you are in this area and have never been, you need to try it. Especially if you ♡ bacon!!

Ordered a full OBGYF and a waffle and after waiting 45 min I finally asked a girl that was horribly rude and looked me up and down to check on my order and low and behold it had been sitting in the back for some time and was not the full size OBGYF I ordered so i asked her nicely for a full size and she lied to me and said they didn’t have any while looking me up and down. So my straight up Karen came out and demanded a refund and suddenly they had the full size and got me one. Awful employees and service. I have come here for years but never ever will again. Oh just realized no silverware! It’s fun to look at i guess.

This restaurant is awesome! I tried the tree hugger which can be made vegan. It was a nourishing and light meal which was perfect! My husband had the bacon ciabatta sandwhich and loved it. We also had some delicious green tea and a cinnamon roll! The baked goods options are endless! Friendly staff, welcoming vibes, and quick service!

Oct 2020. Just moved to Boise - spending hours at EVERY coffee shop. FREE 2hr parking outside door - others have meters. INCREDIBLE selection of HUGE pastries. EXCEPTIONAL quality sandwiches for $10. Unlimited coffee $3! The plates/ mugs are GORGEOUS! Staff has always been kind. Regarding some reviews; Properly baked scones which will be heated for the customer should be a bit doughy. Steamed eggs obviously will have water on the plate, and the "Local Guides" reviews come across as men who have ulterior motives.

Rosie’s Biscuits & Gravy - homemade biscuits and country gravy topped with bacon and made with lots of love (menu description) 🍳 🥓🧀🍓🍊☕️🍽

The BBC - toasted everything bagel stacked with egg, bacon and cheese served with fresh fruit on the side 🥯🍳 🥓🧀🍊☕️🍽

The sandwich was delicious, how they made the eggs so firm yet moist impressed me. The bagel was very well seasoned and toasted just right. With a side of their famous coffee, this was an excellent breakfast. And it came out super quick! The sandwich was so huge (for only $7) I had to take the other half home. They also have a deluxe version with ham and you can add cream cheese!

First thing I noticed when I walked into the restaurant was how popular it was. That, and the fact I heard a lot about the place, told me I wouldn’t regret coming here for late breakfast Saturday morning. First of all the biscuit was HUGE. It was stuffed with so much bacon chunks, and the gravy was perfectly creamy and delicious. I would suggest ordering an extra side of gravy because of how big the biscuit is. Amazingly, it saved well too. I couldn’t even finish the HALF ORDER I got. I would definitely go back just for this dish again!

Stopped in for lunch with a large group of work buddies. I had been here before and ordered breakfast that was very delicious. Coffe was good too! I decided to order the turkey gobbler sandwich this time. Wow! It was scrumptious and the portions were huge. Everyone else in my group enjoyed their meal as well. I took photographs of several of the items of food my group ordered that I will attach to this review. A+ for plating! All the food looked beautiful and was served on cool dishes. Love the atmosphere of this little place. They were packed with customers and they still got our food out in a timely matter. We will definitely be back! Great spot to hit in Boise!

WONDERFUL local coffee shop with great brews and delicious food and treats. Only downside is weird hours and they are usually jam packed busy with a full house of customers. But if you're not in a rush and don't mind the wait for a better than average roast and nosh, this is the place to be!

I used to love this place. They are slowly loosing their edge in terms of quality. I ordered oatmeal this morning and it was not hot and loaded with what appeared to be brown sugar. Go back to the quality of years gone past. Also ordered the fruit bowl with yogurt and the presentation and lack of all the fruit of the past left much to be desired.

Awful service today! We ordered a bagel with just egg and cheese but the bagel was toasted so much that we couldn’t cut it or bite into it at all! I unfortunately had to send it back because it was inedible with how hard it was. (Not to mention the menu had a different price listed that was higher at the register). I asked if it could possibly be remade but the woman working was NOT pleased! She gave us back a extremely soggy bagel not even toasted one bit and the wrong bagel we ordered the first time. So I tried to ask for at least a slight bit of toasting to be done on it but they were just angry and fed up with us at that point she took it and gave it back in the same condition straight up lying that it was toasted? It was so disappointing that if THEY mess up an order, you are kind of stuck. Clearly the customer doesn’t come first here! Will not be going back. It wasn’t a special order or anything…literally just wanted to be able to bite into it the way it was intended to be!

Great vibe, decorations, service, floor plan, and great quality food! The breakfast 🍳 🧇 has a lot options that can accommodate everyone’s wants or dietary needs. They also have pretty generous portions. It’s a great place to stop for a quality brunch with friends.
