Consistently the most delicious menu in Boise or anywhere for vegans! Always always always delighted when we come here.

I like to visit an all vegan restaurant whenever I am traveling. I saw that the High Note was only .8 mile from where I was staying. My vegetarian friend offered to accompany me. The restaurant was cute, and I was excited to try it. I ordered the grilled cheese and mushroom sandwich with tomato basil soup. I liked the bread of the sandwich, it was pretty hearty. The cheese wasn't very melty. My friend got a French dip sandwich, she only ate half and brought the rest back to our Airbnb. The next day when we were departing, she offered it to me for my drive home. The service was ok, it wasn't the friendliest. Prices were a little steep. If I lived nearby, I would come back and give another try. read more

High Note - High Note: Mushroom Grilled Cheese with Basil tomato soup - Sandwiches Near Me - Boise, Idaho

The "steak" tacos are a must! The service is swift, the ambiance is welcoming, and the feeling of walking in there as a vegan and not having to make sheepish request or explain myself it a dream come true! read more

Last time we were in Boise, we enjoyed High Note so much we went there twice. Back in town for another visit this weekend, and the first place we went to was--you guessed it--High note. We were not disappointed. Same friendly, low-key vibe that lets you enjoy a casual brunch at your leisure. Menu had so much good stuff on it, and all the food was prepared fresh, to order. Everything was delicious, and the portions so huge we could barely finish them. Best vegan food in Boise. read more

Went back and the ambiance was much better - no discordant music! We went when we hoped the lunch rush would be over and it was, service was great again and the food was delicious, as always. read more

I've traveled around the world and have eaten a lot of vegan breakfast food, but this is one of the best things I've ever eaten! The gravy was absolutely fantastic. read more

High Note - The masher, add pickled jalapenos - Sandwiches Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Nice brunch spot in downtown Boise near the capitol building. Outdoor shaded table tempted me for the dog and I. Bowl of ice water provided for my pup from the only server working there which gave me feeling she was the proprietor. Very invested in my having a good experience. The menu is decidedly "adult" brunch oriented. During my meal, I saw two parties with young kids go in, be seated and then leave almost immediately after looking at menu. No fruit loops here!!! I had a delicious vegetable scramble and when I ordered I asked if they had sourdough toast and she said, we make our own bread here. And wow, it's a thick cut beauty that makes amazing toast. Coffee just ok ... it didn't taste like an espresso base, more like regular drip coffee, but everything else was so good, I hardly noticed. Highly recommend as a great alternative to some of the boujier coffee places in the vicinity. Oh, and they have comedy open mic every Wednesday evening. That's gotta be a trip!!! read more

Excellent everything! Food, (vegan) service and staff all earn 5 stars. Only wish they allowed door dash or other delivery service.

I got the breakfast burrito and it's amazing. Our server Elle was super nice too! Everything on the menu is 100% vegan and tastes great!

My son in law took me out to High Note and I was so thrilled with the place. The food is out of this world and there is so much of it!! The waiter was totally awesome to talk to and we found out that the owner used to work at Kulture Klatsh a restaurant my husband and I used to frequent. Even the color scheme was similar. They make your taste buds dance! I want to go back again and again. read more

We waited 1 hour and 10 minutes for our food. The server said they got 2 big to go orders and that is just the way it is. "Small kitchen, small staff." No apology, so if you come here, that is just the way it is. My food was cold. The nachos were ok, grilled cheese sandwich was terrible, and the mushroom soup was good. The ambiance is creepy. read more

Excellent food! Excellent service! Excellent location! Excellent ambiance! I could not say enough about how EXCELLENT this place it!! read more

High Note - Sandwiches Near Me - Boise, Idaho

In an unexpected time in Boise we were staying within walking distance of High Note and had been told great things by our hosts. So we decided to check it out for a casual lunch. The atmosphere is cute and casual and very zen, with colorful paintings on the wall. There are some tables and chairs through the space but it ain't very large. I'm sure they have a lot of to go orders as well. The waitress was friendly and chatty and sat us down immediately with drinks. After a bit of time on the menu (had looked a bit online first) we were able to choose. I love that it is a plant based restaurant and I can get anything on the menu! Such joy! I ended up having the bean tacos and replacing the corn shell with lettuce. It was delicious! There maybe 10 small rounds enough for a few bites each and they exploded with flavor. The beans were well seasoned and the puck plus avocado made it fresh and tasty. I loved their house cashew queso as well as vegan house made Parmesan. Delicious!! My friends got the grilled cheese and also tacos (with shells) and were pleasantly surprised. Neither of them are vegan and they both said it was amazing. I would highly recommend this spot for lunch, a quick bite, take out or anytime! read more

I love this place. The interior is a bit dark and small, but the vegan food they serve is no joke! You get more than enough, and it's comforting in the way they put their flavors together...sauces, spices, everything. I've only been here a few times, but each time, I was completely satisfied. PS - this place is vegan, and a good one too. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of vegan joints in Boise, and you may not have noticed this one if you drove by, so be proactive and go there. You'll be glad you did. Oh, and they now serve brunch ALL DAY!!! read more

I come here often just for the salads. The mix of textures with crunchy nuts and soft cheese is perfect. The portions are pretty big and always satisfying. Staff are always friendly and service is fast. It's my go-to spot when I want something light but flavorful. read more

High Note - Sandwiches Near Me - Boise, Idaho

High Note located on North 5th in downtown Boise is a phenomenal story. If you're not aware of the story, sit down criss-cross apple sauce style, and I'll tell you. STORY-TIME High Note was not always a vegan restaurant. One night a couple of years ago, the owner, Maria, watched the documentary, 'Dominion' and it not only changed her personally but changed her professionally. Almost overnight, she scraped the existing menu, donated her existing food supply, created a vegan menu, and opened Boise's first all-vegan restaurant. As a vegan, it can be very difficult to navigate the restaurant scene. Some restaurants will have plant-based dishes or have dishes that are vegan but sometimes, cross-contamination occurs, or worse the dish is not truly vegan. There are a handful of restaurants that I trust to make my vegan dish. Other locations have claimed to do so but have failed as my body has told me so. It is important to understand that when a vegan is giving a non-vegan meal, there can be many side effects ranging from rash, abdominal cramps, dizziness, fatigue, and more. This is why it is important to have an all-vegan restaurant that knows every single ingredient is vegan, made without animal products or by-products. I am so proud to have supplied Maria and her restaurant with vegan cheese from The Butcher's Son in Berkeley, California for a limited time before Maria crafted her own vegan cheese. I am over the moon thrilled that the remodel has transformed High Note into the eatery that needs to be. The chefs and creators now have the space that they need to masterfully prepare the symphonic dishes that Maria creates. If you haven't had the chance to visit or perhaps you're scared to go into a vegan restaurant, first of all, don't be scared, you're going to be eating well. Very well indeed. Please don't subscribe to the notion that your plate will be blades of grass and a pine cone. Have you not seen the pictures on the Yelp page? MENU Oh Lordy, the Breakfast Burrito is massive. It is so freaking delicious. If you need to fuel up for Breakfast, the Breakfast Burrito is the way. Make sure to check out the soups. Nothing beats the frigid winter temperatures than a cup of High Note's soup du jour. Habanero Hominy Quesadilla - Did you say you wanted an orchestra of flavors in your mouth? If the answer is yes, then the HHQ is for you. Get ready to savor each delicious note of pasilla peppers, garlic, cilantro-lime cream, and homemade vegan mozzarella. Bruschetta Grilled Cheese will melt your heart and instantly become your favorite go-to. NOTES: Breakfast is served all day! Woohoo! Space is limited and due to immense popularity, it is possible for some menu items to be sold out. Check their social media posts on Facebook and Instagram for daily updates. High Note Cafe proudly is serving fresh, spray-free & locally grown produce by Global Gardens, Treasured Mushrooms, and Greenhouse West. In summary, if you haven't been since the remodel, or if you haven't been to High Note, it is time. Go with an open mind if you are new to the vegan scene and give it a try, you may just love it. Special shoutout to Maria and the team for being passionate foodies who never give up and give their best each and every day! read more

The food is great. Sauces, soups, juices, seitan, and bread all made in house. Uses local ingredients often. Crazy vegan good. Female owned and locally owned. Usually one server covering the small interior and be prepared to wait during patio season! In regards to the interior, yes it is darker and there are local artists paintings on the walls. To that end, this building is historic. Wiring and HVAC ventilation can NOT be altered just as normal buildings. So can the place get smokey at times, yup, does it seem dark, yup. Is there music playing yup Does it all combine to make it charming, YUP. read more

love this place! food is super yummy and it has the coolest vibe art, wednesday night open mic- groovy crew making food, love it read more

I love their nachos and the servers are so nice and attentive. They also have great gluten free options and amazing lemonade.

I just wanted to share that the High Note Cafe is my all-time favorite restaurant--anywhere! The food is fresh and Out Of This World! The vibe in this small intimate establishment is casual, relaxed, easy--and the staff is friendly and attentive. It's always such a pleasure for me and my taste buds! read more

I think that lunch is a better time to come. We came for breakfast/brunch on a Saturday and were not super impressed. The menu all seemed to be the same exact food just with different names. The majority of them had the same ingredients I got the sandwich and my Aunt got the torta and our food looked identical. They should really work on giving some variety to the menu. My husband said his potatoes were bland and was not impressed. I will say I did enjoy my food. I thought that the bread was great. We ended up sitting outside since it was so dark inside it was a bit uninviting. Service could have been faster. read more

if you want to drown in grease and be underwhelmed by the lack of flavour try the roast beef. I was swimming in oil and it left me feeling sick. The butternut squash was overcooked and also lacking any flavour at all. disappointed and would not eat here again. read more

Really good vegan food. I'm not vegan and I thoroughly enjoy their breakfast sandwich. That said, the price is really high for what you get.

Great place to sit back and enjoy a cup of great tasting Joe. Clean,with plenty of seating. Very relaxing atmosphere. Well priced with 2 -4 shots available. More than just coffee, pastries among other items available. read more

Literally the only all vegan restaurant in the Treasure Valley area. Small menu, but you have some classic options. Out of everything i've tried, I liked the bruschetta grilled cheese the most. I haven't disliked anything, but some items are definitely better than others. Place is small, but not a huge issue. Staff is friendly, everything is in order. Sometimes I find myself wishing for more options, but you take what you can get. If you have a vegan in the family, it's worth checking out at least once. read more

Delicious every time! My favorite spot. Great ambiance and meal choices. Recommend for all!

The ventilation is terrible. It was so smoky in the restaurant we had to leave before we were finished because my nieces eyes were bothering her. I also had trouble with my eyes and ended up having to replace my contacts afterward. The food was pretty good. I enjoyed the pancakes but was disappointed my vegan breakfast tacos used chao cheese (or some other commercial slice) it wasn't homemade or melted. It sort of spoiled the nice mouth texture of the taco. We were also disappointed all the teas came sweetened and there wasn't any drink option that wasn't a sugar bomb unless you have water. read more

Really good food, lots of brunch options. I would be wary of splitting the bill more than two ways. They're unable to split the bill with large parties. However, they give a discount for paying in cash! My friends and I come here about every other week. Customer service is really great too. read more

I had some cousins visiting from out of town who are vegan and vegetarian so I did a search and found Highnote. We showed up on a Saturday night and we sat out on the patio. The staff was very friendly in greeting us. We had the Gyro, the soup of the day And the Pesto/mushroom sandwich and also had the hummus with pita chips as an appetizer ( so good) . Everything was absolutely delicious. I'm not even a vegetarian and I now eat here regularly. It has definitely become one of my favorites. read more

Excellent restaurant. The menu is small but with incredible flavors. All options are vegan but with a very unique take. Dining room is small but that just makes the service better. Had the breakfast potatoes with two great sauces. My mom had a veggie pita loaded with vegetables. I've walked past a few times and really glad I tried it. Definitely will be back. read more

the waiter was a super cute girl but unfortunately the $17 pancakes that we had were underdone. the paintings were cool and the lighting was dim but they were chopping onions in the back and me and my friends eyes were burning for around 30 minutes after. the hot cocoa did not taste like cocoa. you can come here but be warned, it's not all good. read more

We are visiting Boise from out of town and found this place on Yelp. Inside is small and cozy with cool paintings on the walls. I had a mimosa with my food and it's hands down one of the best mimosas I have ever had! It was with freshly pressed raspberries and mint. It's a must try! For food we had a pesto sandwich with homemade GF bread and gyro pita, both were delicious and full of flavor. They came with a side, we had a tomato bisque and a salad. The bisque was rich and filling, the salad was like a meal onto itself. We will be back! read more

Excellent plant based diner! Soup , salad and juice were so yummy! It's a Boise gem!!!

Disappointing. We stopped in at High Note for a quick lunch that turned into anything but. We ordered two sandwiches, a cup of soup, and some chips and hummus. We then waited an hour for our food, watching the table of four who ordered right before of us get their food, finish their meal, and prepare to leave, all with no update from our server. He finally let us know our sandwiches were being plated and would be out shortly. After watching the gentleman who came in after us finish his food, we finally got our meals. Our food was... fine. The breads were rather flavorless and dense, and definitely more bread than sandwich ingredients. The soup, a tomato bisque, was bland and watery, and overall, we were less than impressed, especially after such a long delay with no apology or explanation. Unfortunately, as much as I love to support a local restaurant, nothing about our experience felt worth paying $40 for a "quick" sandwich lunch. We won't be back. read more

Love that there is a vegan place in Boise! Thanks for being delicious and good to animals :)

We are always searching for great vegan food and we found it at High Note. I had a tofu scramble with a side of potatoes, James had loaded potatoes with a side of tofu scramble. Virtually the same meal, his spuds had a few more goodies (mushrooms). We shared some herbed juices, blueberry basil and raspberry mint! Swoon! The staff seemed happy and worked well together. There was a cheerful atmosphere in the kitchen. I caught a glimpse inside the refrigerator, and WOW, that thing is a jumble. It looked like mostly bags of veggies all catawompus. There's not really a worry about cross contamination as everything is vegan, but it could be better organized for the staff. Get some bins, shelves, or baskets! The tables are quite close together. I was tempted to chime in on the conversation at the next table (crochet and work with developmentally delayed children) but I held my tongue. Perhaps the crowding will be mitigated after their upcoming remodel. They don't open until 11:00, so we had to kill time to get brunch, but we loved it. We'll be back. Next time I'm bringing crochet patterns to share! read more

Ate they're twice while visiting and was pleasantly surprised. Loved everything I ate! My boyfriend said that it was hard to find good Mexican food in boise but their burritos were on point. They also have beautiful artwork on the walls. Absolutely recommend if you're looking for a great vegan spot. read more

Had my first vegan food here. We went here without knowing they only serve vegan. We decided to stay and I am glad we did. They have an amazing vegan burrito, I keep coming back for it. Never thought vegan food would taste so good. It doesn't look like I will give up on meat anytime soon but if I ever do this place is the one that set it in motion. read more

This is a vegan restaurant. I'm not a vegan and ended up here on a quest to check out somewhere I had not been before. All things considered, the food was decent, certainly not a substitute for meat... but certainly edible. Service was fairly slow, there was only one table when we went in and the place filled up after. Cute little eatery, very small and not overly well lit. I don't think I'd rush back, but that's because I like meat too much. read more

I mean...wow! I was lucky enough to win a free meal here and I am so blown away. Ive been wanting to try this place for forever and never got around to it but am so glad i got the opportunity. I ordered the breakfast sandwich, It was so good! The tofu scramble was so flavorful and the avocado, aoli, and cheese really tied it all together. My boyfriend was laughing because I kept doing a dance everytime I took a bite haha. This place is one of my top 10nik boise for sure! read more
