Big City Coffee
Big City Coffee is a cafe and breakfast restaurant in Boise, Idaho, that prepares homemade pastries, quiches, and pies daily. The shop features bright, eclectic decor with colorful items that create a friendly and relaxed setting where guests can enjoy eggs, sandwiches, wraps, and biscuits with gravy.
The cafe was founded in 2005 in West Boise and relocated to the Linen District in 2006, where it grew into a popular local gathering spot. This move allowed the business to reach more customers and establish itself as a fixture in the Boise community.
Big City Coffee draws its name from its location in the Linen District and reflects local artisan traditions. The shop supports regional food makers and sells its own coffee blends, keeping it deeply connected to the Boise community.
The shop can get busy, especially on weekday mornings and weekends, so expect to wait during peak times. Portions are generous and often large enough to share or take home, making it good value for visitors looking for a substantial meal.
The shop has run a project called Joe Cans Coffee for a Cause since 2013, raising awareness and funds for women dealing with breast cancer. At the end of each day, leftover pastries are sold at a discount, a moment many locals look forward to for grabbing sweet treats at reduced prices.
