Cool spot. Coffee is good. Sweet pastries are good. Def a coffee and sweet spot. Food was not good, at all. Fat soaked food with poor quality ingredients- they serve gravy from a jar.. not making your own gravy is pretty bad
Besides the great food and atmosphere, the staff are the nicest. Even at busy times they are really chill. My daughter is potty training and this was the first place she asked to go potty. She nailed it so I went to the register and asked for a treat and they hooked her up with choc chips and marshmallows.
Love you guys.

Lovely, spacious breakfast spot with huge, delicious portions. I ordered a breakfast sandwich with a bagel that was just the right size and a giant raspberry scone to go. If I’m ever swinging through again, I’ll definitely return.
Soooooooooo delicious! 10/10 we will definitely be back again. The biscuits and gravy is HUGE so bring your appetite, we didn't order the burrito but they are bigger around than my arm! You come in and wait in line to order, grab a menu up towards the register on a pole so you can look over the menu. Seating is first come first served so try to grab a seat when they are available. Also the baked goods are all amazing!!!

Big City Coffee and Cafe is a fun spot with a “small town roadside” vibe. While staying downtown and needing to be at an event by 7:30AM each day, this was the only cafe open before 7:00AM that provided breakfast.
I had the Tamale Breakfast with chicken. Other than the eggs needing some seasoning, it was a hearty option with a big portion.
The only thing that made this place a little unwelcoming was a staff member that kept running into us and carrying large objects over their head that made us need to duck at the register. Otherwise the other staff were friendly and the cafe was clean.

One of my go to brunch places in Boise. Great food options, decent outdoor seating and very friendly staff. It’s first come first serve here so wait times maybe long in summer. Here’s what we ordered and how we felt:
Nutty buddy - 5/5
Banana split - 5/5
Avocado toast - 4/5
Veggie sandwich - 4/5
Waffles with berries and whip - 5/5

I had never been here before. So, I asked one of the customers what his favorite was there, when I was waiting in line, and he said, "Everything"😁
I then ordered the biscuits with gravy. Wow! I heard about how giant the biscuits were, but seeing is believing. They even had bacon bits in the middle. Great atmosphere. I also walked away with a mouthwatering lemon bar. Handicap ♿️ accessibility. I took pictures of the menu and monthly special.
Update: I had to go back and show you how big our portion sized meal was for a great price.
