Patio and Brunch in the Treasure Valley

We get asked all the time what our favorite spots are for brunch and great patio vibes here in the area! There are way too many to narrow it down, but here are a few of our team favorites. 

Best Brunch Spots

• Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar — Southern-style brunch with chicken and waffles, biscuits, mimosas, and a fun energetic weekend vibe. Great downtown patio and dog friendly.
• Goldy's Breakfast Bistro — Probably the most iconic Boise breakfast spot. Expect waits on weekends, but locals still love it for the classic Boise brunch experience.
