I stumbled upon Certified Kitchen & Bakery while strolling around Hyde Park and I'm so glad I did! The coffee was amazing and the bakery items were some of the most unique and delicious treats I've come across. I tried the toasted coconut latte and the birdseed rice crispy. I would order both again! Everything felt thoughtful and a little different from your typical bakery selection. Next time I'm definitely gonna try the nectarine blueberry crostata. They also have a cute little boutique area with cookbooks and other fun things to browse and shop, which makes the visit even more enjoyable. The staff were very friendly. The cafe itself is quite small, so there isn't a ton of seating, but it's absolutely perfect for grabbing a coffee and a pastry to go. Such a charming little find in Hyde Park, definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area! read more

Downtown Hyde Park in Boise. Streetfront building. Find parallel street parking somewhere. You can order online or at the register. Only high top bar seating along one wall. More of a to-go spot. They also sell random goods like books and gift wrapping paper at the front of the store. I got the north end club (turkey avocado bacon), which was amazing and came with mustard, which I'm not used to in a club sandwich, but loved it. Wife got the pulled pork sandwich. We split half of each to try both. Sandwiches don't come with anything like chips and a drink on weekends, unfortunately. You can get a deal during the week with those included. Also tried a side of potato salad, which was great. Got a kids egg breakfast burrito, too (breakfast served all day). Just under $50 including tax and tip as of Aug 2026. read more

We gave Certified Kitchen & Bakery 4 stars because there was a lot to like, despite one significant issue. Our biggest disappointment was the chicken sandwich. The 9-grain mustard completely overpowered the other flavors, making it difficult to enjoy the sandwich as a whole. That said, the bread was excellent, and the chicken was incredibly tender--it really could have been a great sandwich with a better balance of flavors. Even with that disappointment, we'd definitely come back and simply ask them to leave off the mustard next time. We're also looking forward to trying some of their take-and-bake items, especially the chicken pot pie and lasagna, which looked fantastic! read more

Certified Kitchen + Bakery - WAY too much grain mustard (but the bread and chichen were amazing!). I will ask them to hold off on the mustard next time. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Now I'm pretty sure I've written a review for their breakfast sandwich and English Muffins...best EVER! This is for the lunch I just picked up, which if I was closer I would take back! I ordered the Veggie Sandwich, which according to the Menu; seasonal veggies, greens and spreads...now first off this was a wrap, not on bread...second a few veggies but mostly Quinoa....i HATE Quinoa and it is neither a green or a spread! Was not, in any way what I ordered!!! Buyer beware!! I'll stick to Breakfast! KT read more

This is a must when you visit. We went two days in a row for the Certified sandwich. First of all, the English Muffin is made there. It is buttery and crispy. Mmmmmm. The eggs, bacon, arugula, tomato, cheese... all of it is perfection.. staff is friendly and helpful. They had so many people in there working. It was awesome to see. Worth the wait for your order. Super cute area too! read more

I should've taken some pictures, but I just had the best sandwich ever this place is so good. I'm gonna have to come back and try some baked goods. They look amazing and not only that this place is ridiculously reasonable. Check it out you'll be completely satisfied. read more

I live a few blocks away from certified and it's always a great treat to stop by there. Was craving a good sandwich in between the workday and I got a pulled pork sandwich. It had super delicious flavors within it, especially with the little greens and the pulled pork not feeling too heavy with it. The ciabatta was the main dealbreaker for me selecting that sandwich. It was so fluffy and delicious and tasted like it was fresh out of the oven. All of the stuff is always super sweet. My mom is obsessed with their blueberry bars and if I do not come prepared with four blueberry bars, when I visit, she will be very disappointed. Always a great time to stop by certified and get a treat. Definitely try out their baked goodies as well. read more

Certified has become a part of my weekly routine! I have yet to have something I haven't enjoyed. From the english muffins, to superfood salad, cookies, and carrot cake everything they do is the best! Their certified breakfast sandwich is a favorite and one of my favorite places to stop before heading up to ski bogus! The only con is the lack of indoor seating. It's for sure a grab and go place and their line is often out the door. If you know what you'd like highly recommend ordering online and taking it to the park! read more

I find myself at certified at least twice a week. A staple in Hyde park you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. From their handcrafted sandwiches to their coffees, desserts and prepackaged snacks for picnics certified makes their food with love. My favorite is the French style pancakes, which of course is a crêpe, just by a different name. They serve it with Nutella and fresh berries, and it is to die for. Their baked goods and pastries are 10 out of 10 delicious their Star cookies and the sourdough brownie are some of my favorites. they do have gluten-free breads and desserts so it is a gluten-free friendly place. they do not have much indoor seating at all. They do have a very small bar top with some barstools, but it gets very crowded during the busy time. I recommend getting your food to go and sitting at one of the tables outside. To me, certified kitchen and bakery, represents a successful neighborhood café/lunch spot. They have great options for just about everyone. A great spot if you're going to picnic at Cammile's back or bringing a friend from out of town who's visiting or just picking up breakfast or lunch on your way to the office. I highly recommend. read more

Everything is very tasty! Super bust spot but they do a great job of serving everyone efficiently.

I've been here twice now, and both times I've walked away genuinely impressed. The Certified Breakfast Sandwich is a winner--super filling with fresh, flavorful ingredients. Special shoutout to the bacon: perfectly cooked, not too crispy and definitely not limp. Just right. The staff is consistently friendly and impressively efficient, moving long lines quickly without making anyone feel rushed. While the restaurant doesn't have much indoor seating, it's easy to grab your sandwich and head to the nearby park or one of the many benches along the street to enjoy your meal. This spot is quickly becoming a favorite. Simple, satisfying, and run by a team that clearly cares about both the food and the customer experience. read more

Usually come here for the breakfast items but, wanted to try some of the sweets. The Breakfast burrito, grain bowl, and sandwhiches are all amazing and fresh to order. The Matcha isn't ceremonial but is a local business, I added an extra shot of Matcha and less Milk. It's okay but, recco to add a bit of sweetener since it comes out to be a bit bitter. The cookie was chewy on the inside and crispy on the edges. Love the addition of pecans and the folds bring more texture to the cookie. The service is great, tons of staff working tirelessly to get orders out. There's a few chairs on the side. Will be back again! read more

The sourdough English muffins are so good. You can get just an English muffin with butter and jam or get it on a breakfast sandwich. I really enjoyed the tumeric ginger tea with honey as well as the spiced citrus latte. I always come here when traveling! The lines are not too bad during the week day in the morning aside from the weekends! There is some seating in there but it's mainly to wait for your food as it's a long hallway essentially so more of a grab and go or grab and eat outside on a bench somewhere on 13th! read more

I'm obsessed with this place! From the lattes to the sandwiches to the baked goods, everything is soooo good. You have to get a starchip cookie! Heads up, this place really is best enjoyed to go! It's order at the counter and there is not nearly enough seating for how popular they are. Nevertheless, I'm loyal to Certified! read more

Coffee is bitter. They gave my sister two of the wrong cookies and breakfast sandwich was inconsistent. Each bite tasted different. Cold case looks promising. I wanted this to be so much more. I'll give them four stars for english muffins and friendly service. No where to sit inside or out which feels intentional. read more

Our friend who used to live in Boise recommended we come here for lunch because it was her "go-to spot for when friends visit." Boy, was she right!! This place was incredible. The ambience is so cute, very vibey with cute trinkets for sale and a table of cool cookbooks. The prices were great, the people were very friendly. There wasn't too much seating, but we found some stools at the counter to sit on. The sandwiches were out of this world. They tasted so fresh, the bacon was so tasty. The bread itself was absolutely amazing, it tasted so homemade. Apparently they use a 50 year old sourdough starter for their bread and some baked goods. The star shaped cookie was delicious, great texture. So good can't wait to come back here again. 10/10!! read more

Food was delicious! The cashier was really nice and friendly. I was just visiting Boise, but I hope I have a reason to come back just to go to Certified! read more

Came here on a Monday morning and the line was short. A couple places to eat indoors, but it's mainly takeout. I got the breakfast sandwich and added bacon. The 55-year-old sourdough starter for the english muffin was so good! The bread was clearly next level. I wish the egg patty was a little bigger; it should fill out the bread more. The arugula was a nice touch. My boyfriend also got the breakfast burrito; it looked average, but I liked the salsa that came with it. I would order from here again. read more

Great food. Service is always stellar and worth the wait. Breakfast sandwiches are amazing.

The Croque Madame was perfect - not drowning in Dijon mustard and the best sourdough English muffin. Add a Star chip cookie as the chaser and you've got the perfect breakfast. You won't be disappointed if you go to Certified Kitchen. read more

This place was buzzing with people left and right! Walking in to this store front, there are a bunch of neat gifts and treats in the front for sale. It is a smaller venue so it was kind of tight around people. For an eatery I was expecting tables and chairs but the only seating available was barstools against the wall. For breakfast I grabbed an iced vanilla oat milk latte and the croque madamm breakfast sandwich. The oat milk latte was delicious. It was balanced with sweetness from the vanilla, the creaminess of the oat milk and the bitter from the espresso. The sandwich came out fresh and hot! The English muffin was perfectly baked and soft. The dijion mustard added great flavor to the ham. The combination of everything made such a great breakfast sandwich. The staff was friendly and fast! They have pre made items and drinks in the refrigerators for easy grab and go meals. I look forward to going back and trying other items on their menu! read more

When this small storefront in Hyde Park opened, they transformed weekend breakfast in the North End!

I visit Certified at least 1-2x a week. I've tried just about everything and you really can't go wrong with what you decide. Everyone loves the certified breakfast sandwich and it is great- I bring friends here all the time for it. However, I think the trailhead breakfast bowl and the seasonal veggie sandwiches are severely underrated. Over the summer the seasonal option was a veggie wrap and currently it's a yam banh mi sandwich-- both were truly out of this world. So fresh and exploding with flavor. Really can't recommend them enough. The thing I would not necessarily recommend ordering at Certified is their flavored lattes/coffee- I feel like they're very bland and you can find much better coffee elsewhere in Boise (there's a lot of great spots). I order coffee here and always regret it as I leave underwhelmed. All in all, a great place and can't get enough! Staff are friendly and it's a lovely neighborhood spot. read more

Looks can be deceiving, Food is basic like a step above Starbucks , they have a whole team in there and can't even cook a sunny side up egg, the brisket sandwich was poor quality meat on a cheap piece of rye bread, tthe most saddest sandwiches in the world. If you don't like your job just don't work there because I can taste it every last bit of it. I would give this place a -1star but The only thing saving this place is their selection of baked goods. They should just stick to that n their coffee is decent. Also that girl who served me doesn't look so happy she should pursue what she really wants in life. read more

I ordered the Criminal Carrot cake for my daughter's birthday & it was scrumptious! Moist, flavorful. Yummy cream cheese frosting! We will order again!! read more

Stopped here because of a suggestion from a Boise local and it did not disappoint! Be ready and willing to wait if you do not come early and good luck getting a seat as there is super limited seating areas (just a couple of long bars). There are a lot of great options on the menu and baked goods out. They also sell their English muffins by the 1/2 dozen, so if you loved your breakfast sandwich, you can try and replicate it at home with your English muffins. Ordered their Huevos rancheros breakfast burrito and it was excellent and had great flavor. It was really full and had a good ratio of eggs, potatoes, and cheese. Love that breakfast is served all day! Should have also tried their breakfast sandwich. Next time! Would recommend! Also have a great kids menu. read more

This is my second visit to the spot in Hyde Park. The food is definitely fresh., the service is quick and efficient. However, if you're claustrophobic maybe not the spot for you. The layout is just like a long train track. It reminds me of New York City every time I go into this place.. First time I had the certified sandwich pretty on point maybe a little bland and today I have the breakfast ranchero burrito . Delicious, both just lack a little seasoning ! read more

I just wanted to add that their STAR Cookies and Sourdough Brownies are out of this world!!! And, if you want a really good breakfast sandwich, order the CROQUE MADAME STYLE. Minimal ingredients, but wonderful flavor, and easy to take "to go". I'm going to try the Certified Egg Sandwich on my next visit, just for fun. :) read more

I hesitate to give this place all the stars it deserves because it's already a popular spot for locals. They might run out of cookies! LOL. I wish there was more space to hang out but then it wouldn't be as quick. The ambiance reminds me of bustling pastry shops in Italy. The food seems to be made with great wholesome ingredients, like real butter. read more

4.5 rounded up Mediocre service and coffee but outstanding food! We tried the breakfast sandwiches (9/10), pumpkin bread (10/10), and a latte (6/10). Food tasted fresh, but the pumpkin bread was served cold; it was like it had just been pulled out of the refrigerator. This is more of a grab and go place with cute but pricey items like cookbooks and candles for purchase. It gets crowded here, so be sure to keep that in mind while ordering. Would definitely return! read more
