An Absolute Valley Gem - Flawless Food, Coffee, & Service Every Single Time! As a self-proclaimed picky eater, finding a breakfast spot where every single menu item hits the mark is rare. Moon's Kitchen Café has officially become my absolute favorite spot in the Treasure Valley. Having visited several times, I can confidently say their consistency, quality, and hospitality are unmatched. The Drink Lineup: You cannot go wrong with their beverage menu. I have explored several options: * The Rich Mocha (with Salted Caramel & White Chocolate): Tried this both hot and iced. Both versions offer the perfect, balanced blend of creamy texture and high-quality sweetness. * The 8 & Main Mocha: Served hot with distinct notes of honey and cinnamon. It is an absolute comforting must-try. * Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice: You can taste that it is juiced on-site. Bright, crisp, and incredibly refreshing. * Standard Drip Coffee: Served piping hot. The staff keeps your cup endlessly full so you never run out. The Food Standouts: * Louisiana-Style Beignets: These housemade, made-to-order square French doughnuts are fluffy and generously dusted with powdered sugar. Served with honey butter and housemade jam, they taste exactly like authentic New Orleans beignets. * Corned Beef Hash: In my opinion, this is the best in the valley. It features housemade corned beef, perfectly sautéed onions and peppers, pepper jack cheese, and two over-easy eggs served over diced red potatoes. * John Wayne Breakfast & Biscuits and Gravy: Both feature their phenomenal, daily housemade sausage gravy smothering fluffy buttermilk biscuits. It is hearty, comforting, and leaves you completely full. * Denver Omelette: A classic executed perfectly with three eggs, ham, melted cheddar, onions, and peppers. Location, Parking, & Service: The move to their current downtown location is a massive upgrade. Parking is incredibly convenient thanks to the attached building garage. You can walk straight into the restaurant from the second floor of the garage, or take the escalator/elevator up if you enter from 8th Street. The waitstaff is consistently friendly, prompt, and helpful. Every meal arrives hot, fresh, and served with a genuine smile. Moon's Kitchen gets my highest recommendation! read more

It's been months since my husband and I have been to Moon's. We were downtown for doctors appointments so it was only right to have a meal here. It has felt like forever since we have had one of their beignets. It was a great day to have one. We noticed that they updated their menu and we were excited to try something new. My husband got the Loaded B and G. It was right up his alley! Biscuits and gravy loaded with onions, green peppers, green onions, cheese and bacon. My husband did omit the veggies but what he got looked so good! I got the Country Scramble. Scrambled eggs, sausage, ham, cheese, veggies, country gravy smothered all over potatoes. Both plates were massive! My country scramble was so good! I swear country gravy on anything is so tasty. The potatoes were soft and savory. Plenty of eggs, meats and cheese on top. I only finished a third of my plate. It's enough to share! My husband's biscuits were smothered and covered. The biscuits were soft and paired perfectly with the gravy. We ended up taking half a biscuit home and I look forward to tearing it up tomorrow for breakfast. Moon's has and will always be one of the best local joints to have breakfast at. The staff is always so nice. The food is legit. You can't go wrong having a meal here. I look forward to coming back sooner than later. read more

I came here for lunch during a work trip. We were promptly seated when we arrived. The menu selection has something for everyone. I selected a healthier meal - egg white veggie omelette with no cheese. It's nice they made healthy accommodations to fit my dietary needs. The ambiance is nice and warm inside and staff is friendly! read more

This place exceeded all expectations. The food was delicious, the staff were amazing. My friend ordered the Irish Bennie and he ate the whole plate. I had the pancakes with the blueberry compote. I was also able to get a side of lemon curd for the pancakes. It was a beautiful match. I recommend. The beignets were ok. They aren't as good as going to New Orleans, but they are mid tier. I recommend the pancakes and lemon curd on the side. One bad thing about the restaurant, is that the music is so loud. Other than that, loved the restaurant. Lots of windows, great food, great portions. read more

Love love love Moon's! It's not a trip to Moon's if you haven't gotten the beignets. With the honey butter is divine! I usually get the hobo Benedict and it never disappoints. Always great. We ventured into trying the country scramble and it impressed me with how delicious it was. Get it with the red potatoes. The staff is always sweet and energetic. Never had bad service. And always funny signs to read in the restaurant. Always great to come here. read more

This place was one of the top rated breakfast spots in Boise so we decided to try it out. You may miss it because it is inside a mall type of building. As soon as I got on the 2nd floor where it is located, I saw many ppl waiting around. I assumed they were waiting for a table. Once we checked in with the host, she let us know it was a 20 minute wait. It was not bad so we waited. Once inside we were greeted by our server who was honestly one of the top servers ever. She took our orders and once our food arrived, she continued to check up on us all throughout. There were other people walking around with coffee refills too. Unfortunately I got too excited for my pancakes and did not take a picture but it was soo good! I actually got too full off from one pancake and took the 2nd home. The place was great honestly. Would definitely come back for breakfast when in town! read more

The most interesting thing about eating at Moon's is actually just finding the darn place. While it's address is on Main its main entrance equipped with escalators to the second floor are located off of the pedestrian plaza without a street number address to be found anywhere. I was pleasantly surprised with, considering how hard it was to find, that it was as busy as it was and with predominantly a younger crowd. Something about the decor really clicked with me and Becca who attended to my table was especially pleasant and very attentive. Another funny thing was the pollished concrete floor and how it interacted with the ball type castors on the bottom of the chairs. This combination made it especially easy for my chair to move around and glide away from the table when I applied any kind of pressure against the table. Kind of had to wedge my feet to the floor to keep me in place. Would you otherwise notice this; I doubt it. But I'm off that way. Fun place, good food, music not too loud....yes I would return, especially since I know how to find it now. read more

It's adorable, very nice servers. Can get loud, really loud. But depends on the day you go. The food's portions are huge, you will get your moneys worth read more

If I could give this place more stars I would. First of all the service was wonderful. Grady is a rockstar and was right on top of everything! The food was perfect. I had the chicken protein bowl and my husband had the chicken hash. He has declared this is his new favorite spot and I agree. It wasn't too loud in there. Lots of different seating. We can't wait to come back! read more

I've been here twice and both visit my breakfast was top notch! The first time I had eggs Benedict...so good! Everything was done perfectly! The second I went with a friend and we shared a breakfast burrito and a basket of beignets. Again, our meal was amazing! It's my new breakfast place. read more

Great NEW downtown location, much more seating and easier parking via the parking deck. Fresh squeezed orange juice and of course the beignets are great too! read more

The best breakfast in Boise. And for Hollandaise and Benedict's, incredible. The owner has invented his own proprietary process for the Hollandaise sauce and it's incredible. The Beignets are also the absolute best outside of New Orleans. If we could give 10 stars, we would. read more

A nice old school diner that has the nice new city building feel. It's located on the second floor of a building which is very modern but one you step in but has the diner feel. The moon babies are like crepes meets pancakes. They are good if you're interested in something sweet. It is also topped with their homemade jam. The country scramble is a large portion of really good food if you're craving something savory. I couldn't decide between the biscuits and gravy or an omelette so the scramble was a nice middle ground. The gravy on the scramble is really good and helps elevate the dish. Service was very attentive even with us having a larger party. Definitely recommend! read more

YUMMM! 15 min wait but incredibly friendly staff and good prices for great food. Thanks Boise!

Came here for brunch with my mom on the Saturday before Mother's Day. We didn't realize it was also graduation weekend, so the area was bustling--but even with the crowds, we only waited about 15-20 minutes to be seated, which was a pleasant surprise. The service remained attentive and friendly, and our food arrived within a reasonable amount of time. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. We both had the pistachio latte, which was perfectly balanced and not too sweet--definitely a highlight. I went with the classic eggs Benedict, which was spot on: perfectly poached eggs, creamy hollandaise, and crispy hash browns on the side. We also shared a small order of the beignets, and they were fantastic--warm, fluffy, and generously dusted with powdered sugar. I really love their new location--it has a fresh, modern vibe with great views of downtown Boise. All in all, it was a fantastic brunch experience, and I'd definitely come back again. read more

Moon's Kitchen Cafe - Huevos Rancheros with hash browns - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Love, love Moon's. The new location is worth seeking out, on the second floor of a building on the Eighth Street restaurant corridor. It's got great sunlight and open seating that feels invigorating at breakfast. And oh the breakfast! They make "pancake babies" that are opals little pancake bites perfect for a little dip in syrup. Another sweet choice is their lovely beignets which are served with just the right amount of powdered sugar. I got a latte here and I'm something of a coffee snob, so when I say it was perfect you can trust me. Rich espresso, creamy foam, and just the right temperature. They have both brewed coffee and a full espresso bar, and I've never been disappointed. My recent hostess, Emily, was an absolute delight. She made me feel very welcomed and made sure I got a great seat. My server was also very accommodating and helped me navigate the menu to find choices that would work for my dietary restrictions. I always appreciate someone who doesn't make me feel like a problem when I need a few modifications. Prices here are a bit high, but what isn't anymore. With a tip and a beverage you'll spend over $20 a person, but I think you pay for quality and good service. I always recommend Moon's for anyone looking for breakfast or brunch downtown. read more

Moons has been in Boise for many years. Some of the reasons why...Great food, great views, great coffee, great servers! Epic sized proportions. I still kind of miss the old gift shop days however, no way could that tiny corner support the ever growing demand for their most exceptional food. Mother tested and Frog approved! read more

Moons Kitchen is kind of in an odd location - upstairs above some other businesses. California Benni was fresh and perfectly balanced ( avocado was perfectly ripe) the Monte Cristo was warm and done just right (my husbands fave) and the kids' pancakes were a hit. I also loved the iced pistachio latte, which was unique without being too sweet. The only downside was having to pay for parking, which was a bit of a bummer. Overall, though, the food absolutely delivered and we'd happily come back. read more

For notice, they don't sell alcohol here. The restaurant is found up on the second floor btw. We came in with a group of 10 on a Sunday and they got us in within 5 minutes even though the place seemed very full. Incredible. Service. Our server Annabelle was really sweet and helpful! They have a fly fishing shop over by where we sat, for those that indulge in the sport. Everything seems promising, but the food overall needs something more. Nobody was really blown away with the meal. Beignets 4/5 Huevos rancheros (almost resembles breakfast tacos rather than huevos rancheros, good flavor but soft tortilla is a downside) 3.5/5 Hobo beni 3/5 John Wayne 3.5/5 Bacon/spinach/mushroom beni 4/5 read more

Moons Kitchen in downtown Boise has such a cool, hip atmosphere! The food was tasty, and the portions were generous. Our wait tress Ally was so sweet and attentive ! However, the prices felt a bit steep for breakfast--the "Hobo Beni" (pictured) was $19. The second dish shown is my daughter's kids' menu option, the "Moon Baby." Overall, a great spot if you're looking for a trendy breakfast spot, but be prepared for the higher price point! read more

Expensive for what it is in my opinion but what isnt these days. Was sat immediately on a late monday morning. Server took a few minutes to get to our table so by the time she got there we were ready to order. Ordered moons beni and country scramble and two waters. Food came out very fast but I was already halfway through my meal before I got my water. Quality and presentation was standard but I did enjoy the flavors. In the end it was a good meal just a little quicker service and it would have elevated the experience. The vibes and decor were nice. If visiting from out of town I would recommend, possibly I just got unlucky with the service. read more

Friendly, attentive, service. Amazing gluten free options- pancakes, French toast, and more!!HUGE portions!

We've been here quite a few times over the years! They had an unfortunate close for alittle bit! But, now have been open in new location for awhile I believe. It's still in downtown Boise but in a big business type building super awesome , easy to get too and it's much bigger to serve more people! My husband and I just recently went there and had the pleasure of Becca R. Be our waitress she was so sweet and on it! Food was delicious as always!! If you're in the Boise area want some breakfast/lunch 7am-2! Are still the business hours! But, come check it out it's just awesome!! I can't wait to come back in fall or winter for a beautiful view and enjoy a tasty meal. Happy customer for sure for Moon's! read more

My friend and I stopped by on a Saturday morning for the first time since they relocated. For a popular spot, there will of course be a wait, in which we stood around for 30 minutes. Nevertheless, they sat us in a cozy corner of the restaurant with a decent view of the city streets. It's a modern upgrade from the old spot but the decor seems the same! For food, we got omelettes and they were sure good, especially with a side of crispy hash browns, salty bacon, and a buttered toast. Our waitress was a young gal and very friendly, who gave us space but made sure we were always satisfied. It's always a fun experience at Moon's -- I recommend. read more

Happened into this breakfast spot on a Monday morning. Service was great, super friendly.

Clearly made on premises, super crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. read more

Wow what a busy breakfast place! The wait was over 30 minutes at 9 AM so we got coffee and beignets to go $25 later the beignets lackluster with no powdered sugar or anything sweet on top! These are not your New Orleans café Dumonde beignets. but if you're missing New Orleans buy them put them in your air fryer for a couple of minutes and put some powdered sugar and they'll work for a pinch! read more

The food was amazing and plentiful but only outdone by the phenomenal service we received from Marissa. She's also 5 star!!!

We really liked this place. It was quite busy but the wait wasn't too bad and our server Danica was very friendly and attentive. The food was very good, especially the specialty coffees and beignets. The honey butter alone was worth getting the beignets. read more
