    I just got in town last night from my trip to SLC. I wanted to spend some time with my daughter so I suggested that we go out for breakfast. And honestly, I didn't want to cook breakfast. The Potholder Cafe has been on my to go list so I took today as an opportunity to go check this joint out. It was a quick drive to the café which is nice. Walked in, was instantly greeted and it was seat yourself so we found a comfy table in the secondary dining area. The chairs they have here are so comfortable! That was the first thing I noticed getting myself situated. Whoever chose the chairs, good job! Kaitlyn came and dropped off menus to us. Coffee and orange juice was ordered I did Kaitlyn if I could possibly grab fresh creamer from her that wasn't in a communal dish. She offered to grab me a little portion of half and half from the back. I thought that was so kind of her! Drinks were dropped off and food was ordered. My daughter got the Loco Moco with some toast. I got the Baja scrambled with some spinach added to it. While our food was being prepared, we got to check out the decor. I love that our Idaho flag is represented at the restaurant. The country, farm chic decor makes the vibe fun and homey. Our food came out shortly and it was hot of the grill. You can smell the spices used on my ground beef. The spinach was bright green and fresh all over my scramble. There were pieces of olives, tomatoes and green onions sprinkled throughout my eggs. It looked delicious! I got a huge helping of hashbrowns which is shared with my daughter. There was enough for the both of us. My daughter's Loco Moco looked tasty! It was a hamburger patty topped with a fried eggs, covered in gravy. And underneath all that goodness was steamed white rice. The coffee was hot. Our food was really good. I enjoyed my scramble very much! Each bite was different cause of the ingredients in my scramble. Kaitlyn did a great job taking care of us. I guess my only complaint is that my daughter's meal was 17 bucks for a hamburger patty with a scoop of rice, 2 eggs and some gravy. Honestly, I would have expected at least another portion of it. I just don't see where the 17 dollars comes in for that amount of food. I do look forward to coming back, especially with my husband. He loves a good chicken fried steak. I would like to enjoy brunch somewhere closer to home than heading downtown to our Sunday local joint. Everything about our meal was great today, I guess we will just have to make sure we order something that has a good amount of bang for our buck the next time we come in.

    Lots to pick from!

    My wife and I recently stopped by The Potholder Cafe in Eagle, a new outpost of the beloved Long Beach, California favorite that's been around since the 1970s. From the moment we walked in, the place felt inviting. It's clean, bright, and cozy with comfortable leather chairs. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and we loved that the owner was hands-on, checking in on tables while the waitstaff handled orders seamlessly. We felt genuinely well taken care of. The menu is extensive, with tons of breakfast options like creative omelets, scrambles, and traditional lunch fare (think BLTs), plus plenty of dishes with a nice Latin flair. I went for the eggs with chorizo sausage, which was perfectly seasoned and flavorful. The portions are generous and filling while the crispy hash browns were spot-on, and the sourdough toast (sourced from Gaston's Bakery in Boise) was super good. Hot coffee kept coming, plates were piled high, and the whole experience was just great. If you're in Eagle, do yourself a favor and stop in, I don't think you will be disappointed! Recommend...

    When you enter, you can see the cafe split into two separate dining rooms, with standard tables (no booths) on each side. The Potholder Cafe has a very comfortable and friendly "neighborhood cafe" kind of vibe and style. Nothing fancy, just inviting. We were a large party of 12 (with a reservation due to size) and it almost looked like we wouldn't fit in there, but the staff were incredibly accommodating and had the tables all ready to go. Once seated, service was friendly and attentive. Of course, one of my friends is a frequent flyer at The Potholder and shouted "toast" as soon as she showed up. The servers promptly served her perfectly toasted white bread, slathered in melty butter. She was very excited...citing this toast as the best "melt in your mouth" toast on the planet. I have to agree...the toast was pretty perfect. We quickly ordered from the mammoth-sized menu (which only made it harder to choose because everything sounded delicious). I opted for "Sam's breakfast bowl" but the table selected a plethora from omelettes, scrambles, burritos and sandwiches. Food came out roughly 15 minutes after ordering, though sporadically due to the size of our table. It took roughly 5-7 minutes before everyone had their food. The plates are overly generous with portions, so bring an appetite! The bowl I ordered was decadent and rich with flavor - a mix of potatoes, beans, eggs, chorizo, cheese, sour cream, avocado and enchilada sauce. The downside for me was the heavy pour of sauce, which negated the flavor and texture of everything else. I would have liked to have crispier potatoes or cubed potatoes in place of what there was. That said, it was hearty and very filling, flavorful and a nice change to the average breakfast fare. Everyone at the table thoroughly enjoyed their meals, gleefully sharing and swapping with each other. There was a constant fervor of joy around the table. This is a place someone can enjoy over and over again, mostly due to all the limitless breakfast options and excellent service!

    This Potholder Cafe is one of a small chain of Southern California originated eateries with the same name and based on my first visit, I think the same menu is used here as in all of them. The owners are a daughter and father team, I think, and they are currently residents of Eagle. Open from 7a to 2p with a two-plus page laminated menu of breakfast offerings and lunch offerings on the back suggesting a pretty fixed menu, not changing seasonally.. They have updated to brighten the space that was formerly home to a beloved by many and locally owned lunch and dinner spot, Stuffed Olive. They get a lot right here and I wish for them great success even if it isn't the kind of menu that would lead me to eat here often. And that is all about my food preferences and in no way an issue with their food. SERVICE: We arrived right at noon and they were busy but service was excellent for being friendly and informed about the menu and the wait on food was merely a matter of a small kitchen trying to serve a lot of people from an expansive menu, I think. Were stars for service alone, they would easily be 5. Service here is light years better than the two other in-town breakfast / lunch spots of The Griddle and Rembrandt's. VIBE & SEATING: We were offered seating at the only open table that was in their overflow dining room. We appreciated the lack of music, one can carry on a conversation better, and I asked if that was an all-the-time thing or just this time thing. I was told the main dining space is wired for music but this room is not. Works for me! There is seating outside as well. All tables are standard height and I also appreciated they provide some "elbow" room between them in arranging both the main and overflow dining room. EATS: In a nod to the past, my husband and I shared a Club Sandwich ($15) and it came on rye toast (even if too lightly toasted) and without mayo, just as we requested. (Do you know how many restaurant kitchens can actually get that 'no mayo' request met? Answer: Few. :-) ) We can count on the fingers of one hand with some leftover how many times we eat fries during a year, but we had them here and they were delicious and came crispy hot. The fries were coated with something that seemed to add to the crispiness. Worth every calorie. Portions seem huge and looking at the tables around us, plates had food remaining or people asked for to go boxes. It seems as if part of the schtick here may be serving huge amounts. That is a thing for some people, although not mine given I am one of "those" who is concerned about food waste in the U.S. where 40% of food goes into landfills (and a lot of that starts in restaurants). We weren't the only ones in the dining room sharing an item; the server brought an extra plate with the meal to make sharing easy and they didn't charge us a share charge. We tipped $10 on that $15 sandwich to say thank-you. (When we share something, we often tip the server as if we had ordered two items.) Re those same two in-town breakfast - lunch spots I mentioned earlier in these comments, based on this single experience at Potholder and multiple experiences at the others before we said "we're done", the food here is better too. PARKING: The strip mall has a lot of spaces but it seems often full around this eatery, just as in the Stuffed Olive days. ACCESSIBILITY: There are 2 ADA compliant spaces in front of the restaurant but they are the only ones for the entire side of the parking lot. (The lot does not meet ADA minimums for number of spaces but that is a strip mall owner deficit, not the restaurant owner's.) Level in from walkway through both entry doors. Adequate clear floor space to get to tables. I wasn't using a wheelchair today (although on other days I might since I have had multiple sclerosis since college) and it seems some 4 tops would work for diners using wheelchairs. The uni-loo was marked accessible but I didn't check it. GOOD FOOD NEIGHBOR: If you arrive after Potholder closes or if they're full or if you are hankering for Greek food, local family owned and operated Kosta's Taverna that is directly across the parking lot and open for lunch and dinner is a top notch option.

    The Potholder Cafe has officially landed in Eagle & it's here to stay!! We went for breakfast on a Saturday morning & loved it! We sat down right away & the service was on point. Whether you choose to sit inside or outside, there will be plenty of room for everyone. The food was delicious & the portion sizes did not disappoint. While you're here, I'll let ya in on a little secret.. the chorizo & egg breakfast burrito is actually 2 burritos & you still get to choose a side.. it's a lot of food!! Yum! Speaking of a lot of food, Tim's Dug Out should be renamed the breakfast of champions.. it has all your favorite breakfast items & perfect for the person that wants a little bit of everything & can't settle on just one thing. If you're giving this place a try, you better come hungry! Happy Yelpin Y'all

    Simple breakfast with scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, and a smart upgrade to banana nut pancakes!

    We've been looking for a replacement breakfast spot since Squeeze In closed (and broke our hearts). Enter The Potholder Cafe! Filling the void of the Jack Johnson is the banana nut pancakes! My mom ordered the Popeye's omelet, but then ate my pancakes. Good thing I can share! Will be back!

    A great early morning breakfast spot in Eagle! Our waitress was delightful and we got our food quickly. The food was pretty good and there is a lot to choose from. A quaint, cozy restaurant.

We asked the gal behind the bar if we can there. She simply said yes and walked off. Another gentleman dropped off menus and didn't say much to us. Honestly, it wasn't the best start. I thought we were going to have soothe questionable visit again. Griffin greeted us with a great smile. He asked us what our drink orders were. I asked for coffee. I couldn't remember if they had flavored creamer here. Griffin said they didn't have any but he was kind and got me a side of vanilla syrup. He is the first server to give me an option and to do something simple like this. I knew we were in great hands with Griffin. Drinks were dropped off, orders were taken and we just chilled. Food was dropped off after a bit and man did everything look grand! My husband got the Rosie's French toast combo and I got the 2 eggs with bacon. My breakfast was great. The eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly. I love that the English muffin as a little overly toasted but still soft in the middle. My husband's French toast was killer. It was a croissant that was made into French toast. It was also coated in cinnamon and powdered sugar. It was soooooo good! I had a couple bites and it was hard not to ask for more. Griffin was the highlight of our brunch. He made sure my coffee cup was filled. He checked up on us and just was kind from beginning to end. He ended our visit with asking us if we wanted any drinks to go. If I wasn't on a fluid restriction I probably would have gotten something. I have never had a server at any of these locations ask me that before. This visit was great and I can't wait to come back. And if you do come at eat here, make sure you have Griffin take care of you.

It has a very local, community feel that's getting harder to find. The coffee itself is fine -- not terrible, not "drive across town for it" amazing either. I usually just get the unlimited refill cup and drink from one of their mugs while I work for a bit. Where this place really shines is the baked goods and breakfast food. You can smell everything being made from their little kitchen, and it feels genuinely homemade in a way most coffee shops don't anymore. Their molasses cookies are somehow available year-round and I'm not exaggerating when I say if they're sold out, my day takes a turn. The quiche Lorraine is also legitimately excellent with a buttery crust, and they usually have a surprisingly good variety of gluten-free baked goods too. One thing I oddly appreciate: no music and no giant café chaos. Also no plugs, so this isn't the place to camp for 6 hours on a laptop. But if I need a quiet spot to answer emails or get 1-1.5 hours of work done without distraction, this is actually one of my favorite places to go.
