First time diners, new to Boise area. Very excited to try this place. First, the bacon is amazing. Can't complain at all. Fantastic flavor, thick cut and I really enjoyed the spicy one.

Location is very convienient downtown. Lots of seating, even for large parties of 6+. There is no table service, so it's an order at the counter place; we didn't like that at all, especially since the counter is hidden in the back of the restaurant and you can't even see it, you'd have to follow signs to find it.

It's a serve your own coffee place as well, kinda chincy like a hotel lobby or something. The eggs were cooked great and my husband loved the Brioche french toast. They also have a great espresso menu and make it at the bar. yes, they do serve alcohol and have a full bar for lunch/dinner diners. That's as an added bonus and it's likley we will return for lunch soon.

One very disappointing (but awesome) thing is that they CAN sub most of their items for gluten free items (ex. Toast, french toast, etc) BUT they do NOT even put that option on their menu. I found out second hand. Why? I have no idea. They are losing a lot of business because of this, especially people that view the menu online before deciding to go there. This is a huge mistake for them.

In addition, there are many pictures online of various items they don't actually have on their menu and we're simply a one time special. Example, don't get excited about pancakes - because they don't have them. Also, waffles, that's just an occasional thing, they don't have that option everyday. So that was a little misleading and kind of a bummer considering we brought our kids - that don't have any interest in specialty bacon for breakfast. We were banking in pancakes or something for them.

I didn't like how were expected to tip either, when you have to order at a counter, get your own coffee and water, and...wait for it...get your own silver ware. Just seemed weird to tip them for basically bussing the table (an obvious "service" for any establishment - not the customer).

Lastly, prices. Yikes! While I do respect bacon is expensive, and expected to pay more for that (and rightfully so - cause it's amazing) they also charge high prices for beverages, toasts, eggs, etc.

Overall, we would return. Probably not as a full family of 5, but my husband and I at least. There's other options for great breakfast in the city for a much better experience at a cheaper price.
