Big City Coffee and Cafe

I’ve been here twice and unfortunately both times the scones were doughy. Scones the size of your head just don’t work. Steamed eggs seem like a clever idea, but they arrive in a puddle of water on the plate. Not very appetizing. Everything else was just okay.

Loved the potatoes. The seasoning was perfect. I got the loaded potatoes, it was enough for two meals. I also hope the bacon cheese scone which again was great and I don't usually like scones. Very busy place but food came out pretty quick. Will definitely be back.

Great place. Highly recommend this anything-but-big-city-feeling-place with their warm and welcoming staff and fun atmosphere - roll up garage door front and excellent music... oh, and the food is delicious.

Try one of the extremely large baked goods, smooth espresso beverages, ginormous burritos, tasty granola and fruit bowls, and/or excellent egg dishes. All are thoroughly enjoyable and satisfying.

Wow! Great coffee, fabulously well prepared food, fresh and flavorful baked goods! Everything in generous portions. Friendly , helpful staff. Noisy when busy, but a welcoming atmosphere. You're fortunate if you live close enough yo be a regular, and it's well worth a detour if you're just passing through town.

Breakfast is delicious and portions are so big you have enough for 3 meals! Pastries are outrageously good, and coffee is pretty great too, but the food is what brings me back!!

Okay so I spent a weekend in Boise and everyone told me to go to Big City coffee and cafe for brunch! Well they did not let me down, this place was packed on a Sunday morning! I debated ordering some of the hot food but ultimately just decided to grab a couple of pastries and a coffee. The blueberry scone was the best I’ve ever tasted! Definitely will be back again just for the scone! The vibe is very chill and hometown type of feel! Recommend!

Incredible local flavor and decor. These baked goods are to die for! The cookies are HUGE and so chewy. A comfortable spot to hang out, or good fast service if you’re in a rush. I ordered a big box of goodies for the office and everyone loved it.

Phenomenal cafe. Good vibes & great food at an affordable price. Everything you'd expect from a locally owned place. There's WiFi and plenty of table seating, but it does get busy. The staff is mainly local college kids. The food is traditional (eggs, waffles, etc) but it's good portions and cooked well. This isn't a local roaster; they primarily serve mixed espresso drinks (think espresso with milk and flavoring).

Among the best places in Boise, Idaho to enjoy locally sourced food in a locally owned business. Besides the food and coffee, which are both delicious, the atmosphere here truly sets Big City Coffee apart from its competitors. Be ready to share a table with friends you haven't met just yet, and fill yourself up with some biscuits and gravy or perhaps a waffle chosen from a creative menu.

Cute ambience. Lots of things I want to try but I won't be ordering the veggie quiche again. It looks amazing but it tasted like I was mostly eating melted cheese.
