High Note is always a must-eat whenever I'm in Boise! The food is delicious, the portions are filling, and the staff is always so kind. I've had the quesadilla with "chicken" soycurls, the breakfast burrito, the pesto sandwich, and their blueberry basil lemonade... All were incredible! I always eat here at least once when visiting or passing through. I've been vegan for 5 years and have lived in the vegan mecca Portland-- the food here easily holds its own against restaurants there. High Note is proof that you can eat delicious food that doesn't kill animals and is much better for our planet! read more

High Note - Breakfast burrito! - Sandwiches Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Nice place to eat with friends, vegan, good food, friendly employees. Overall nice place to visit.

On our last day in Boise, we stopped at the High Note for lunch. Our friends had their dog with them, so we were looking for a place that was dog-friendly. Luckily, High Note has an outdoor seating area where we were allowed to bring the dog. Unfortunately, even though High Note does have umbrellas over each of their tables outside, the umbrellas proved to be relatively ineffective at shielding us from the heat. It didn't help that this place was absolutely packed at lunch time and they only had two employees working. We had to wait a while for our food, so if you are looking for a quick lunch in downtown Boise, this is not the place for you. Once we finally did receive our food though, I think it was worth the wait. I ordered the Reuben sandwich with a side of salmon chowder. The corned beef was thick and salty. It was perfectly complemented by the creamy Russian dressing. The bread was nicely toasted as well. They opted for red cabbage instead of the traditional sauerkraut, but the sandwich still had plenty of flavor. The salmon chowder looked a little watery, but was surprisingly very tasty. It had plenty of salmon and chunks of potatoes. High Note has pretty slow service for a downtown sandwich spot (especially for a week day), but the food tastes great and is filling. If you have time for a leisurely lunch, this place is worth checking out. read more

I am so glad that I stumbled on this fantastic little sandwich shop while here on business in downtown Boise. It's a family owned and family staffed place which serves artisan homemade sandwiches and soups I had the Cuba sandwich and tomato soup. Both were excellent, particularly the sandwich which was served on bread that they bake right in the store. Their ice tea was a bit watery, but that is to be expected. It's very difficult to find good ice tea outside of the South. My sole complaint is that they don't accept AMEX, which I suppose is not really a big deal, but inconvenient for those whom are on travel as I was. read more

High Note - Can't you just tell how delicious it was? - Sandwiches Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Holy hell, ordered the pesto sandwich with the side caesar salad, and probably the BEST sandwich in all of Boise. I recently became vegan, and I can tell you I am sick of the only options being fries (maybe, Buffalo wild wings fries everything in beef shortening so watch out) and hummus! Thank you so much for your amazing food I will be eating here again! read more

So. Good. Incredible flavor, texture, and depth. Super friendly wait staff. Warm and cozy. I'll be back, a lot! read more

This was our first time ordering food at High Note and all I can say is we will be back. They are doing a very good job with their vegan options. Very flavorful and large portions. I had the breakfast sandwich with a side of potatoes .... delicious. My husband ordered the pesto sandwich with a side of tomato basil soup .... excellent! During Covid they are only accepting cash for payment and they make sure you are aware of that when you are placing your order. Very nice staff, we will definitely be going back. read more

Love to support strictly vegan restaurants and High Note is one of the best. Went here for brunch during the week and it was phenomenal. Had the High Note Scramble w/potatoes and it was everything I wanted. The seasonings were out of this world and it was as fresh as could be. Generous portions as well. Wanted to come back for another meal but ran out of time. Can't wait to come back and try some of the lunch options. Highly recommended! read more

Walked by this place many times and finally decided to try it out. The inside had lots of art and music playing. Ordered the Mediterranean salad and tacos. It took a while to actually get, 20 mins, and there were only two other tables that had already received their food. The tacos were pretty good, but the salad was nothing special. I maybe picky when it comes to salad but I do not like it when I have to chop and mix my own salad. The veggies were cut large and we're all on the edge of the salad. Which meant I had to chop them into bite size pieces and mix it all together. I just wasn't very impressed, and it was a bummer because I had walked by it so many times and thought it looked like a great place read more

If you're in Boise and want food like you'd make at your house if you were home, this is the place to come. Perfect breakfast burrito of dreams, egg and hashbrown yum yum, and a slice of local blueberry, to geaux. Also, cannot beat dollar mimosas with fresh juices!!! Get there before 130 on Sundays and thank me later. read more

High Note - Maria was an amazing waitress, food was incredible, some of the best flavors I've ever had in a perfectly cruelty free way! - Sandwiches Near Me - Boise, Idaho

What a great place! Went there for the first time yesterday. Had a couple local beers and a coconut tomato soup with bread. The soup and bread were easily one of the best I've had in my life. So simple, but they really made it with care. The service was great too! Very friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be going here again. read more

I love being able to order off the menu and not have to worry if my meal is actually vegan. Food is mouth watering delicious and the staff is great! Definitely recommend! read more

Got the breakfast burrito and hummus. Both were really good! My dad had the Gyros and tomato soup and for someone who rarely eats non meat products, he liked it. read more

I love what this place stands for and the giant leap of faith they took in going cruelty free! That said, I think constructive criticism is necessary to make this restaurant as successful as possible. I was extremely excited to come here on a stop in Boise. The reviews were almost perfect. My son and K ordered the hummus plate, grilled cheese, and bruschetta grilled cheese. The hummus was delicious! Seriously one of the best I've had. The big bummer is that the veggies that came with it did not seem fresh. The celery in particular was brown and wilting. The pita was okay. I was really disappointed in the quality of the veggies after hearing so much about fresh and local. I would love to see the hummus platter include some additional,fresh veggies and more interesting "dippers". Regular grilled cheese was rad. Bruschetta grilled cheese tasted great but was extremely soggy and nearly impossible to eat. Maybe experiment with other cheese products or cooking times/methods because the shredded mozzarella did not melt at all, not even a little, and coupled with the slippery tomatoes made the whole deal a slippery mess that fell all over the place. The bread on both sandwiches was fantastic! I'd love to see a BLT with tempeh or zucchini bacon next time I'm in the area,and hopefully the little kinks will be worked out by then. read more

This spot is great! Loads of vegan options and friendly service. They are cash and check ONLY so take note!!! Also no seating indoor or outdoor. Food was great though and prices were reasonable! read more

High Note - Current specials and info. Note that everything is vegan! - Sandwiches Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Reading all the reviews we had to give this place a try. Ordered the Gyro (with tomato basil soup) and Rosemary Sandwich (with African spinach soup). The soups and the gyro were great. Also tried the raspberry lemonade. It was great to see a restaurant taking the right precautions and only doing take out unlike many other places that have started indoor dining. However would suggest to introduce card transactions to be even more safer. read more

We came in on a Friday night with our 2 year old and had an amazing experience! The service was a bit slow but there was only one server so I understood. She did suggest a baby plate for our son and munched on oranges and pieces of our meals as well. The food was insanely fresh. I got a gyro! The seitan was perfect in this dish. My partner had a habanero quesadilla. He said it was one of the best he's ever had. We got dessert! Apple crumble cake and a mixed fruit pie. So delicious! There was also live music that wasn't too loud or too distracting, which is important since the High Note is a bit small. We loved it. And we will be returning. read more

Stopped in for breakfast, had the sandwich and my lady had the potato, was excellent service food and atmosphere. Would def go again and recommend! read more

I don't have any complaints. We loved high note. The food was very fresh and incredible quality. If you choose a salad I am sure you cannot go wrong but I loved the high note house salad with the citrus cilantro vinaigrette. Good portion, not to big or small. Pretty good price especially for the quality. I will return!!!:) read more

Great vibe, friend staff and fabulous (plant based) food, what more can you ask for?!

Wonderful place to find a vegan breakfast! My husband, brother in law, and myself all loved our dishes. We got the potato scramble, build your own scramble with mushroom/pepper Jack "cheese"/spinach/and salsa, and the breakfast burrito. All perfectly seasoned and served hot! We can't wait to come back especially since it's quite hard to find a good vegan breakfast with so many options. read more

Absolutely horrific customer service. They we're very rude to us upon entry. After we found masks to walk two feet to our table, the lady behind the bar left us standing at the door so she could finish inputting receipts. The waitress then told us it would be a 40 minute wait when there was clearly 4 open tables available and no other people waiting to be seated. The server made it very clear they did not need our business in the future by telling us we're welcome to not ever come back. read more

After a morning walk through the zoo we were looking for someplace to grab lunch. Not being from around here we relied on google for something close. Luckily stumbled into the High Note. Small and friendly with a welcoming staff. Vegan and delicious. Try their potato and leek soup. Flavors to satisfy even the taste buds of a carnivore. read more

We went for brunch on a Saturday. The small outside eating area is great. Inside is pretty dark. The menu is now all vegan, and we loved it. My husband had pancakes, which came with syrup and a little strawberry rhubarb compote. I had a torta breakfast sandwich and it was excellent and very filling. We will be back. read more

This place rules! It reminds me of the Che cafe. They've got Jeff Rosenstock and GLOSS on tape! They are all #VEGAN so awesome! The burritos are excellent! The pancakes are ridiculously good l! It's hard not to go here everyday and the people that work there are genuine! This is a spot you can't miss out on! read more

I'm all about their Tuesday Tacos, but the past few visits here have been pretty disappointing. The tomato basil soup contained so much cream that it would have been better as a pasta sauce, while forgetting to ask for my dressing on the side, the Caesar salad came overly drenched. Too much mayo and over-buttered bread...this "light" lunch left me realizing that there are much better ways to spend $20 in Boise. read more

I decided to change things up a bit and ordered the breakfast burrito with ham instead of my pork tacos. It's huge but I managed to eat the entire thing. And a bowl of their tomato soup which I happen to have a special compartment in my stomach for, always. I seriously love this place and it always brightens my mood. From their awesome mix tapes (yes, tapes!) to the lovely service in spite of what I've always seen as a 1 or at most, 2 man/woman operation, they never disappoint. read more

This is a small hidden gem downtown on 5th street. I have been several times now and have enjoyed everything I have ordered. The service is friendly and quick, the atmosphere is very relaxed and calm, and the food is always delicious. I highly recommend going here during lunch time. It is less busy than other places, and has lots of great specials. They have great grilled cheese and soup, all of their sandwiches are tasty. If you like street tacos, they are definitely worth a try! If you really like tacos, go there on Tuesday, where you can get a street taco for a dollar all day! Four dollars, for four tacos! Definitely a great deal for lunch. If you cannot make it there for lunch, worry not, because they very frequently have live music there in the evenings! Great atmosphere, and you can even catch some tunes with some good drink specials depending on which day you are there! If you are looking for a new place for lunch, brunch, dinner, live music, or tacos!: this is worth checking out! It is a hidden gem downtown, do not be discouraged if it is busy or not! Cheers! read more

I just LOVE this place. I actually was trying to decide where to go to lunch one day so I looked on Yelp to see what was nearby with good reviews and came across the High Note. I don't know how I never knew about this place. It's tucked away in between the Flying M and Guidos. This has now become a favorite lunch spot of mine. The BEST part about this place is they take the time to make basically everything homemade and it really shows in the flavors. You don't get that much anymore...homemade bread..salad dressings?! So delicious. They also dont use microwaves! For the price it's a great value, I get the half sandwich with one of their tasty soups for $7. The turkey cheddar melt sandwich is so hearty with big thick pieces of turkey and homemade bread, I can't finish a whole one. I have only tried the salmon chowder, which I love, but they always have several other soup options. I am really curious to try the breakfast burrito or one of their salads...next time! The inside is small and a little dark and quiet in the daytime but don't worry the food makes up for it. I am going to have to check this place out at night sometime, it seems to turn into a bar and they offer late night food and live music! I hope this place never goes away!! read more

I'm not vegan but this is one of my go-to spots for lunch in Boise. The creamy soups are always delicious and the quesadilla with the cilantro cream sauce is one of my favorites. Service is friendly and quick. read more

This place is fantastic ! Have gone 3 times in a month ! I cannot get enough ! Every time a friend suggests dinner I meet them at high note cafe . And i ordered a to go meal for my husband and he was mindblown how tasty it all was. Especially the vegan cheese cool atmosphere super friendly staff . The only thing i would say was one night when a musician played it was a bit loud . my friend and I couldnt hear each other talk . maybe have the musicians play outside on the patio? Other than that i LOVE this placr and im so glad you switched to an all vegan menu read more

Found this place on HappyCow on day 1 of a road trip from Portland to PA. I ordered a grilled cheese (add mushrooms) and a side of tomato soup. It may have been the best vegan grilled cheese I've ever had (and I've had a few)! The bread and cheese were both homemade and absolutely delightful. Loved the soup too, very flavorful. My partner ordered the gyro with a side of bean dip and he was very happy with his choices. Friendly staff made us feel very welcome. I'd totally hang out here for karaoke night if i lived in Boise. The only thing I didn't care for was that they put ice in the kombucha, which to me is like putting ice in beer... so if you order a kombucha you may want to ask them to hold the ice. read more

Made a reservation for 15 people for my birthday brunch this past weekend (decided on High Note when Fork would only take a reservation for 8). Their $1(!) mimosas come in delicious, fun flavors (they had strawberry cilantro, blueberry basil, raspberry, and cucumber agave). The breakfast burrito I had was delicious. I love the High Note and so did everyone I invited to my birthday. read more
