Went here for lunch, it was great. We will be going back for dinner eventually. Cute little patio, nice price point and friendly staff. We shared the tacos and had the pico and chips for our side, very tasty. They also have happy hour and live music every weekend, kind of a nice change from your typical lunch selections. read more

Wow. Amazing, homemade food in huge quantities for reasonable prices. The staff is incredibly friendly and there was a great playlist playing in the background. I was honestly a little unsure when we walked up - it was dimly lit and looked empty. But we had read good reviews so forged on - thank goodness we did! My Reuben was the best I've had since I lived back east. The slaw was fresh, light and delicious. My boyfriend, who has a monstrous appetite, could only finish half of his club before asking for foil. The homemade bread and sauces are fantastic. Perfect balance of flavor and substance. This place is a total hidden gem - looks like they have great happy hour options too! We'll definitely be making this a regular spot. read more

This is the ultimate dive diner/bar with great food, servers, and drinks! I have probably walked/driven right by this place at least 10 times without even noticing its existence. Heather S. suggested we go here for taco Tuesday and I am always down for some tacos. The tacos were small, but for just $1 each, they were worth it. The tacos were not made in a huge batch quantity, but rather made or order. I also tried their Strawberry mint mimosa and it was delicious. I will be back for brunch or lunch one day because the items on their menu look very interesting. They seem to take regular items and put their eclectic twist on each! read more

High Note is another restaurant that I applaud heartily for doing specific things right, and reduce in stars for not being a truly well-rounded restaurant. For example, the tortilla chips and black bean puree, and for that matter the tortilla chips and pico de gallo, are excellent. Salty, rich, and fresh. The soups are good, but fall short of stellar, and I've found the sandwiches to be flavorful with quality ingredients, but heavily breaded and expensive.The bread also tends to fall apart easily, which can make for messy eating. Service and food delivery can at times be slow, but this can be partly offset by the intimate atmosphere of the place. Overall, it's a decent lunch spot with kind, enthusiastic employees, and with some minor upgrades to the menu could truly shine. Stick to the tortilla chips and dips, and you can't go wrong. read more

Absolutely delicious plant-based brunch, menu with lots of variety, quick service, and outdoor patio area for dogs! Everything was absolutely fantastic and the service was top notch. We'll be coming here every weekend from now on! read more

I can't tell you how often I walked past this place and overlooked it because it looks like a dive bar from the outside. I didn't even realize it was a restaurant - perhaps because the door is tinted, so it looks really dark inside. Now that I've gone inside, I can say that the ambiance inside still makes you think hole-in-the-wall, but the charming kind of hole-in-the-wall. If the weather allows, sit outside on the small patio. You can bring your dog. Enough about what it looks like - it's the food that makes it special. Everything is homemade, from scratch - even the bread. I had the grilled cheese with ham, which was really good. They have a good selection on the menu, from salads, to soup, to sandwiches. They have brunch on Saturday and Sunday. I am definitely returning here. Often. read more

Do not pass up an opportunity to check out this little gem! The food is delicious... I'm a huge fan of the Rueben and the Cuban! That bread though. X-tra yum! The stuff dreams are made of! Everything is scratch made, and takes a while. Worth the wait! read more

Wow wow wow. Great food, great beer, great conversation, great people. Everything in the restaurant is home made, including the bread and the pickles. We had a Reuben, a pork torta, a sausage sandwich, a cup of amazing tomato basil coconut soup, salad, two great beers and more and the check came in under $40. Uh May Zing! Will return every time I come back to Boise. read more

Great local spot. Homemade soup and yummy fresh salads. The breakfast food is delicious and the service always cheerful and welcoming. One of the best hole-in-the-wall joints in Boise for sure. read more

Delicious food, comfy atmosphere! Happy we found this place. It will defiantly be a stop we make when we are in Boise!

Our favorite little neighborhood gem! We go there every Tuesday for $1 tacos! Everything is homemade & I've never gotten something that I didn't like. The owner & staff is awesome! MUST TRY THE FRESH PIES! You won't be disappointed! My fav sandwich is the Cuban & my husband loves the club, the breakfast burrito & grilled cheeses are super yummy too. Patio dining when weather cooperates read more

I really wanted to love this place, but it just fell short. My coworker and I love trying new places to eat, especially on our lunch breaks. We work downtown so we thought that this would be perfect. (I had read a great article about the food online). When I walked in it was completely full. (Good sign right)? - We thought so. No one greeted us or told us to wait or anything. A sweet customer saw us and told us she would be leaving soon and we could have her table. When the server came to clear the table we were npt sure if she knew that we had just sat down because she never said hi. - After ten minutes of us sitting there looking at here she finally came over and cleared the rest of the table and then brought us waters. One thing you notice is the strong smell of food. It is a very small place and there doesn't seem to be any kind of fan or ventilation system. I am back at my office and my hair even smells like food! From the time we got in and got our food it took 40 minutes to get our food brought out to us. (Kind of long when we only have a one hour lunch break). The reason it takes so long is because there is one little panini type press, a small home type of plug in griddle/ skillet and another area where they can grill up some meats. - They can only make two sandwhices at a time on their little press and so during a lunch hour when everyoneis ordering sandwhiches it takes forever. (Our table was right in front of the kitchen area so we got to watch the whole process). I ordered a reuben (my go to) and my co worker ordered the rosemary chicken sandwhich. Mine was too salty and hers was too bland. I couldn't eat my side of coleslaw for a while because our server went the get me a napkin and silverware and never came back. - After over 5 minutes I just went and asked her if we could get some. (The irony was that she was wrapping silverware she just forgot to bring us ours). The server and cook were worried about their parking meter and even asked a customer to go outside and feed it for them. We felt really bad for a pair of customers that were there before us and seemed to have had thier order forgotten about comepletely. Overall the food was fine, but the experience was a little lacking. It just doesn't seem like they are really set up to serve very many customers. One couple commented that it was really busy, and the server said "yeah, you came at a funny time". (It was 12:30 - lunchtime). We were bummed that we didn't go to the new location of Boise Fry Company. - Next time. read more

Pros: good tasting street tacos and a good happy hour special Cons: very dive bar feel, not super clean, felt like a towny bar (not my preference) read more

This place is an absolute gem! They finally have vegan pastries and treats. The apple spice cake is a delicious delight! The owner is very kind and truly cares about her business and food that she serves! Support local businesses and check this place out! :) read more

Decided to jump into this small place because of it's good rating on Yelp ... and the food was AMAZING! However, we came in with a group of 8 during lunch time and that was a bit troublesome because this place is so small. They have only 1 server and a very small kitchen area. Took a bit for the food but it was WELL WORTH THE WAIT! Even with only 1 server, she was extremely polite and courteous. read more

The BEST Rueben in town (PS- I even get the gluten free version) WITH tomato soup! Delicious!

Salmon chowder was awesome! Highly recommend! The Reuben was accompanied by black bean purée and chips and both were tasty. My tummy is smiling Oh, and they have beer on tap which pleased my dinner date read more

I wanted to check out thier street tacos for a while now and finally had a chance to try it today! Loved the tacos. I gave 4 stars coz I felt the wait is too long ( that my husband finished his two rounds of beer by the time we got the food).But nevertheless I will come again to try the breakfast burritos and mimosas. read more

I went in to the High Note today for a nice Sunday lunch. The music was cool and hep and the clientele friendly. It took a while to get our order taken, but it was very busy. I had the Basil Tomato Coconut Soup and the Bacon Jalapeno Melt. The soup was creamy and flavorful. The Melt was delicious with thick-sliced bacon and pickled jalapenos (the latter of which I will pay for tomorrow, but IT WAS WORTH IT)! read more

Amazing!! Grilled bruschetta cheese and tomato/coconut soup delicious! Will definitely be returning!

A funky eclectic little cafe! We've been looking for a Sunday morning place and we may have found it!!! Looking forward to coming back!!!

I stopped in this place on a Sunday and loved it. It took awhile to get the food but quick service calls for compromised food quality. The food took awhile but it was worth the wait, they accommodated our vegetarian as well as vegan needs. There is something nice about supporting independently owned businesses, it was a refreshing dinning experience. Friendly service, hearty healthy food as well. read more

I'll be honest - I ended up here because the coffee shop next door was too crowded. What a nice surprise! The salad was fresh - soup was made from scratch and the service was great! It's a small place, but they have done a great job to make it cozy. read more

Previous Yelp reviewers have it perfect - we now love this lil' family run establishment. 1st visit here: wife & I shared a couple items - we enjoyed the absolutely fabulously delicious Breakfast Burrito - coming from San Diego and knowing the best hole-in-the-wall and more mainstream "breakfast burritos", High Notes is among the best EVER! The Grilled Cheese Bruschetta sandwich was good - the bread scrumptious, personally I like more garlic on the bruschetta but it was good. The flavored juice mimosas are so good you won't be able to stop from ordering 2 or 3 - we had raspberry mint, and they have others as well. Don't miss this place - great comfortable casual vibe with fun art on the walls AWESOME! read more

Excellent Cuban sandwich, and the soup of the day was a tomato basil coconut bisque made from scratch. It was delicious. I highly recommend.

A nice little joint, that's making there own versions of healthy and good tasting eats. Nice select of beer/wine, great $1 Taco Tuesday. Very friendly staff, and good modern mix of locals. read more

One of the best places I have been to; the food is great and a great price. Not to mention the server is really nice. Not that into the music they play but that's my only bad comment about the place. They have local artists come and preform at night too. read more

This place has delicious homemade everything! We love coming here for brunch, their breakfast sandwich on homemade bread, pico scramble, and breakfast burrito are amazing, especially paired with $1 mimosas (11-1 on weekends) made with their homemade juices - are you kidding me?! read more

Love this place! They have great food they prepare fresh! Wonderful food! Love their bread, salads are great too. I will definitely keep coming back. read more

Stopped here for a quick bite to eat on my way out of town. It was a great find! Great food! Had half a sandwich and a cup of soup and I was full. Service was fast but not rushed. Prices were decent. Definitely would recommend! read more

I had the grilled cheese and tomato soup as they are my favorites. I regret that I ate it too fast as the last couple of bites I came to appreciate how flavorful and delicious this sandwich and soup combo was. I also had some of the homemade lemonade with a free refill, it was amazingly delicious. I would give 5 stars but I am reserving that for one that will shock me. read more

High note is the best place to get dollar street tacos on Tuesdays, hands down! And if you happen to miss street taco Tuesday don't even worry because they have bomb home made sandwiches too! And you won't wanna miss $2 mimosas during happy hour 4-6pm Monday-Friday. The flavors of mimosas change all the time but are always so good! My favorite is cucumber jalapeño. If I could give 10 stars I would. read more

Great street tacos and chicken rosemary sandwich. Server was one of the best I've ever had. Small menu, but a nice little hole in the wall joint. Recommended. read more

Great lunch menu! The food is fresh and flavorful. Good selection of vegetarian items and the atmosphere is cool without pretense. I highly recommend checking this place out as an alternative to the usual (zzzz) places. read more

Decided to try this place for the first time today and I didn't like it. No one greeted us for about 15 minutes and when they did, the wait staff wasn't very friendly. We were there after the lunch rush and the place didn't seem busy, yet they still managed to make us feel like we were imposing. When we finally ordered and got our food we were unimpressed with what they brought out. I ordered the caprese sandwich and my husband ordered the Cuban, and both were severely lacking in flavor. Maybe we ordered the wrong thing, but I'm not going back to find out. read more

Grew up in Boise and moved away a few years ago, since then I have chosen a plant based life style. I'm in town for a couple weeks visiting.. Boise isn't a hot spot for vegan food YET buuuuut I was so happy to hear High Note going 100% plant based!!!!!!! The food was so yummy! I ordered (can't remember the name of the dish) a scramble with red potatoes, fresh pico and avocado, the mimosas are made with house made juice also amazing, & the customer service was phenomenal. Whoever owns this place your employee Amy is one of a kind hold her close.. she legitimately treats this business like it's her own.. She has excellent customer service, great at table touching, constantly staying busy with cleaning.. the rest of the crew and her seemed to enjoy their job and were so inviting!!! Being in the service industry myself it was awesome to see!! This place is rad! If you're in Boise plant based or not come thru!!! You'll enjoy it read more

I love the High Note. They have great local music, local beers, and great food. It is one of my favorite places to chill downtown. They serve brunch all day everyday and the breakfast burrito is a must try especially late at night. read more

13$ lunch for a gut-bomb flavorless grilled cheese and cup of soup that actually tasted bad to me. The soup was lukewarm and I'm guessing old. I wish the server had asked why the food was mostly uneaten, or offered to bring something else. Would've made the difference between disliking the meal and feeling ripped off and kind of hating a restaurant. Other people've had better luck here. But I am resentful of a bad meal carelessly prepared and served. read more

Wondered into this place trying to find a nice place to sit down after a long road trip. Really neat spot, I had the black bean tacos and they were G O O D. Pretty dang good. Service was delightful, got my food relatively quickly after ordering. I think it's worth a stop if you're near by, especially if your vegan. I always have a hard time finding vegan foods and this place has it!!! Thanks for having me High Note Cafe. read more

Go here. Eat the Reuben! Great service from nice people. They have live music, karaoke and a great atmosphere. Did I mention the Reuben?
