    Pastry case

    Best scones l've ever had. Been coming here for years even when they were out in State Street street. Just tried a pecan sticky bun today. Probably the best one of those as well.

    We were looking for somewhere to grab a good breakfast, and one of my friends was dying to grab biscuits and gravy. They Googled "best biscuits and gravy in Boise" and this place came up...and good thing it did! The prices were surprising for the amount of food they served. The friend ordered biscuits and gravy and their plate was MASSIVE! Each biscuit was probably the size of their head, entirely smothered with country gravy and filled with bacon. I didn't taste it (although there was plenty to share) because I ordered a feta and artichoke quiche (for $7!!!) with a side of breakfast potatoes. Again, the price was incredible for the amount of food they served. They also had amazing scones--I ordered a lemon blackberry scone and it was so yummy! I would 10/10 recommend this spot if you're looking for somewhere to grab a bite.

    This dessert case is a thing of beauty

    We stopped here on our way back home to Utah and man all I can say is I've been depressed knowing that I can't come back multiple times a week to this place. The take out was ready exactly when it was supposed to be. The workers were amazingly friendly and helpful. The restaurant was super cute and it made me sad we didn't have time to eat there inside. It was like Hipster meets Cracker Barrel and I am down for that pleasing esthetic. The food was incredible it was the best breakfast I've had out in forever. We ordered the Farmer's daughter with sausage, and the rodeo wrap with avocado and sour cream, and the loaded potatoes. Which was kind of a mistake on our part only because the food portions were HUGE!! The eggs and cheese and all the veggies with the Farmer's daughter were absolutely incredible it was so hot and tasted so good my husband really enjoyed it and I enjoyed a few bites. I got the rodeo wrap which I should not have added sour cream to and in general I don't really eat wraps very often but this was absolutely delicious. The meat was perfectly cooked and the eggs were to die for the cheese pulls in this wrap were the stuff of legends. The loaded potatoes were so good we ate them for lunch on the road and man I wish we could go back today. We also ate the leftovers from breakfast for dinner. My one true regret at this place is not getting any dessert. The dessert case was truly a thing of beauty. Husband and I are already planning a trip back just for this place .

    Super cute place if a little spendy. The coffee was great. Not too sweet, not too not. Service was a little slow but not too bad for hand-made.

    We were visiting the city and really enjoyed the vibes here. Cozy and busy. The moment when we walked in we could feel this is a community and local favorite. We waited in line for about 10 mins and read the big menu trying to decide what to get. I ordered the bacon and spinach quiche with fruits, and hubby ordered the Deluxe bagel sandwich. We waited at our table for another 20 mins before getting our food. The quiche was absolutely delicious and worth the wait. Fresh and hot out of oven - it's savory and rich. The fruits on side were refreshing. Hubby thought his meaty bagel sandwich was good but could be warmer - maybe the kitchen finished making the bagel sandwich first and waited for the quiche to cook in the oven. I think if you are ordering something along with a quiche, you should know that the quiche could take a longer time to cook and your other food orders could turn cold a bit because of that.

    Great customer service, DELICIOUS eats and great value :). I absolutely loved my veggie bagel and latte. Oh let me tell you this place is popular. If you're looking to eat in, get there early or be prepared to kinda stand and spy on all the tables until you can tell someone is ready to throw the towel in haha. I highly recommend this spot. Don't walk, run!

    I don't know why I don't come here more often. Oh yea, it's not in the best part of town anymore. On another note,this place is seriously so yummy. You get a lot of food for a medium price. I got the Spanish breakfast with bacon and salsa, I think they forgot the sour cream, a huge warm scone, and a medium Mexican hot chocolate. All for under $27. The breakfast can feed two people. The scone two or three people. It's nice and clean inside. I didn't know, but if you want water it is to the left of the register. The baked section.. holy jeeze the variety they had. I would have liked all of it, but I wouldn't be able to eat it all before it went bad. I definitely will make it a point to come by more. Oh yea, parking. It's street parking. I got there at like 715/730 so plenty of parking. I don't know how it is when it is later in the day. Inside and outside seating available.

    Some sort of protein, keto number that had good flavor

    This place is darling! The name didn't communicate what it was at all, in my opinion. It's a farmhouse-style full breakfast and bakery spot. Indoor/outdoor seating with lots of colorful decor and fresh wildflowers on farm tables. Large tables and tables for four, there's plenty of seating. The menu is large worth options for everyone. The portions are HUGE! Enough for 2 people, at least. I had a breakfast sandwich the first day, just your standard bagel, egg, bacon, cheese number and let me tell you, I don't recommend eating it in the car! The second day I had the veggie breakfast burrito which tasted super healthy with broccoli, squash, red onions and bell peppers, eggs and potatoes in an enormous wheat tortilla. I ate it for two days and it was just as flavorful the second day. They have pastries, cookies, and baked goods galore! And they're all as big as your head. Highly recommend coming down and trying this place!

    Decided to stop by after seeing the crowd enjoying their meals outdoors. Little did I know how big the space was and how packed it could be! How it works is that you walk in, go to the counter to order, and find available seating. They have large family style tables and some small bar seats on the side slightly hidden. As you wait for your food be sure to check out their decor indoors as it's not your average and have cute trinkets around the whole place. Ended up getting the tamale & cowboy breakfast. Both items were decently priced but the portions were HUGE! You will likely need to share an entree or you will for sure have some to take home. For the cowboy too they only have one type of toast so don't expect your sourdough here but be sure to enjoy it with the side of jam they provide. The tamale was unique and loved the avocado they pair on top as well. All in all, the menu items were pretty extensive but were pretty standard. Solid place if you want a classic american breakfast but also want the options for bagels, etc. be sure to look at their window case as well since they have MASSIVE desserts as well for under $5. We ended up getting a blueberry scone to go and would highly recommend! Love scones and this was no exception.

    This spot is one of those types of eateries where you order, get a number, and then find yourself a table. It can get really busy, especially during brunch hours so it can be a gamble on getting a seat or not. They do offer takeout if you think seating is going to be too much of a problem. I came here for lunch but I was craving breakfast foods and I got the Wrap which is like their breakfast burrito with steamed eggs, potatoes, cheese and your choice of their ham, bacon, or sausage. I order it with sausage but there just wasn't enough flavor there. I think they charge more of extra salsa and that wrap really needed it. We also got the breakfast tamales which were better than the Wrap flavor wise but still could have used more of a kick in my opinion. Everything you order here is A LOT of food. These are the American sized portions that other countries joke about.

    Great place for breakfast! The eggs were buttery and delicious. The seasoning on the potatoes is amazing! I also recommend the scones

    Huge portion sizes,delicious bakery items, and great coffee. This place is not to be beat For a delicious breakfast. The staff is wonderful and friendly as well. Theonlyy challenge is that it's always busy and take can take a while to get food. It is however worth the wait.

    The last time I came into Goldy's Corner, I had asked the girl that helped me if they had apple…read morefritters. I guess apple fritters are not a consistent pastry that's made. I was suggested to call in and see if they were some available the day of. So, I called in this morning to do an apple fritter check. I talked to Emily this morning. I was told that they don't serve apple fritters. So, now I'm confused to whether they do or don't sell fritters. She did tell me that they have apple bear claws and an apple bread available. I asked if a bear claw could be set aside for me. With it being Saturday morning, I wanted to guarantee a bear claw after I got off work. I wanted to take one home to my husband since I promised him one. I headed in around 9:30. It was chill so I probably could have just snagged one but I wanted it to be a guarantee. The gal behind the counter grabbed my bear claw. Paid for it and made me way out. On my way to the car, I couldn't help but be baffled to how light the box was. I got into my car and opened the box up. Bro, to call this pastry in this to go box a bear claw has to be a joke. A bear claw to me is big, palm size. Multiple people handling a big claw size. I was so disappointed at how tiny this bear claw was. Honestly, to have it be called bear claw is criminal work. And to have it be pushing 5 bucks is criminal work too. Don't get me wrong, the bear claw was decent. It was frosted. The pastry portion of it was soft and buttery. There was apple but very subtle. The size of it is comparable to street taco but fluffier. To compare a bear claw to a street taco is just insane to me.

    Goldie's corner is just that, a restaurant located on the corner where you can grab a cookie and a…read moresmall bite to eat. Note: this isn't the full Goldy's restaurant as that is next door. We enjoyed our coffee with unlimited refills and took a booth where you can people watch and we could see the capitol building. Friendly staff and good coffee. I appreciate the variety of baked goods and even the discounted day old items. Good place to grab a coffee when you don't have much time. Loved the artwork on display too. Several little tables here and booths and one larger table. My quiche was good. Everything I expected and I got the day old banana bread which was dried up and hard on the edges and soft in the middle. I guess that's why they discount it. After a day it doesn't hold up too long.
