Idaho | Boise Brunch Guide 🍳☀️

Boise has no shortage of brunch spots — and they cover all kinds of styles! You’ve got the “old-school” classics: eggs, meat, and potatoes — the kind of meal that powers you through a 10-mile run 🏃‍♂️💥 Then there’s the “new-school” vibe: avocado toast, sandwiches, salads — perfect before a relaxed riverside walk with your dog 🥑☕🐕 And let’s not forget the Mexican influence — breakfast burritos are basically everywhere now 🌯❤️ Here are four standout brunch spots — each with something special, though not all perfect: 📍 Griddle Classic, hearty American breakfast — like stepping back in time 🥓🍳 Two locations: one in Meridian, one in Parkcenter. The Parkcenter one is smaller and often has a wait; Meridian is more spacious. No-frills, satisfying food in a cozy, family-friendly atmosphere. Vibe: Warm & nostalgic 🧡 📍 Egg Man and Earl Even heartier American breakfast — think 3-egg omelets packed with fillings 🥚😳 Small space → expect waits on weekends. Wild decor: hunting trophies and rustic paintings 🦌🎨 Hushbrowns are a must-try! Good to know: Go if you can handle the wait — and the portions! 📍 Bacon New-school brunch with a bacon twist 🥓✨ You can’t sit without a number → popular = long lines. Creative combos (I had fried okra!) but dishes can be greasy. Their huckleberry jam (served with meals) is so good you’ll want to take some home! 🍯 Ideal for: Bacon lovers and the curious. 📍 Tupelo Lighter, modern brunch 🥗🍋 More veggies and salads → great if you’re not into heavy plates. Bright, spacious vibe — perfect for lavender lemonade or mimosas 🥂💜 Service can be slow, but the food is pretty and tasty. Note: Higher “white people food” factor 😉 but still enjoyable. Bottom line: Want hearty? → Griddle or Egg Man Want light? → Tupelo Feeling adventurous? → Bacon #BoiseBrunch #IdahoEats #BrunchGuide #FoodieReview #BoiseFood #EatLikeALocal #BreakfastGoals
