Meh

Really wanted to love this place but it was just kind of so-so. The staff were super nice and friendly, but the food was pretty bland and they only had brunch options on a late Saturday afternoon.

Pros: All vegan, A few beer options, Art for sale

Cons: Bland breakfast sandwich

Delish

Went for Sunday brunch- delicious fresh teas and great options! We chose potato based meals. Kind staff and lots of outdoor space.

I had the seitan gyro with a Caesar salad and it was great. Clean ingredients, filling and satisfying. Friendly staff.

Filling and delicious

We really enjoyed the food here. It's 100% vegan and the menu has gluten free options too. Even though they only had brunch today, the menu was pretty extensive! From tofu scramble to breakfast sandwiches and pancakes.. there was a lot do choose from. Prices are very reasonable and I left there feeling stuffed!

What a disappointment

I had the broccoli cheddar soup, pesto sandwich, ceasar salad, and habañero hominy quesadilla. The sandwich was good, although pretty oily. Salad was good. Soup was good. All things I was happy to eat but wouldn't order again, especially at the prices they're charging. I was told they make their own cheese for the quesadilla so I was pretty excited for it, but I absolutely hated it. The cheese was a solid block, not melted in any way. The rest of the quesadilla just fell apart due to that, and in general it just tasted like a very oily, very expensive salt block. The dips it came with didn't add much flavor either, seemed like just liquidy mayo. I really try to support all vegan businesses especially when there aren't many in an area, but vegan food can be so much better than this.
Also, I tried to order take out and was told there is an automatic 20% gratuity for orders over $30. For take out?? So I decided to just eat in because I was only ordering take out so I could save on tip money. Then when I got the dine in check, I was able to choose whatever gratuity I wanted. Nonsensical.

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Price, Bland

Highs and Lows

I ordered the Rosemary Seitan sandwich with a side Caesar salad. We received our food quickly. I didn't like the oiliness of the bread, and it made it feel soft despite being toasted. Overall, the sandwich tasted kind of bland. Conversely, the salad dressing was amazing. Next time, I would skip the sandwich, and just order a full Caesar salad.

Pros: all vegan, quick service, outdoor seating

Great food! Great service! Great price!

I had the High Note Potatoes with scrambled tofu. It was superb…flavor, texture, it even looked appetizing! My And then there was the service. Our waitress was friendly, attentive and our food came out relatively fast considering it is a fresh meal with wholesome ingredients. Will definitely return and try other menu items. Oh, also, I like the art on the walls!

Pros: Taste, Selection , Service

Cons: I don’t live next door, Puts my cooking to shame

Meeting the vegan stigma

I looked at this place's menu for almost two years before finally deciding to go to brunch. My partner and I were ignored for almost 10 minutes upon walking in and the staff seemed like zombies. They are still wearing masks, have BLM signs in their windows, and in general just a really leftist vibe which was offputting. My bf got the breakfast sandwich and I got the skillet with tofu and potatoes. They were pretty much identical in ingredients and flavor with just a different presentation. They were both pretty bland and the tofu was crumbled so small it was like it had been pulverized in a food processor. Granted it was a Saturday but we waited over an hour for our food to come out and when it did it was barely warm like they had forgotten about it sitting on the order counter. As we were leaving a waitress came out and asked the other patron dining near us if he had placed his order already. I had heard him order almost half an hour prior and he second guessed himself to which I provided confirmation yes he had a while ago which made it seem like they probably forgot to ring it in. I probably won't go back here which is unfortunate because I would love to support an all vegan business.

Pros: Can't really say anything positive about it

Cons: Absent-minded staff, Long wait times , Pushes leftist ideology

Lol “pushes leftist ideology” with masks and supporting BLM lol They support LGBQT too & even serve food to those with alt right ideologies. Sounds like a cool, non judgmental environment inclusive & welcoming to those with varying beliefs. With that said, i’ve been there and had to wait awhile for my food too which sucks. Other times, i got it rather quickly. I guess even restaurants have bad days, especially in todays climate in finding workers that stay, the whole service industry is suffering with constant turnover & training new staff who leave after putting up with rude or entitled customers. I had the same crap service at cheesecake factory during the day on a tuesday at 1pm.

Wonderful all-vegan local spot

This place has tons of variety for a super small and local spot. The wait staff is so nice and the food is delicious. There is a comfortable patio that is nice to sit out at. The best thing on the menu is the breakfast burrito, in my opinion! The sandwiches are all good, but the bread recipe could be improved, as it’s just a little crumbly and doesn’t always hold the awesome ingredients they fill them with.

Pros: Entirely vegan, Delicious food, Friendly staff

Cons: No dinner menu

Like eating at home only way better!

This is our family's favorite Vegan restaurant in Boise. The portions are great. There are a lot of great menu choices and the staff is super friendly. The place is small, so it's not super fast but it's a great dining experience. People are friendly and you can tell the place is full of regulars that come back to eat great, consistent, delicious vegan food. We have never had a meal here we haven't liked. It's not super healthy, so it's not the choice if you're oil-free or trying to eat healthier, however, it's great comfort food. We also love the comfort of being able to order anything off the menu.

Pros: A lot of choices, Great food, Good portions

Horrible staff and food

We are vegan and this was a go to until today. My husband was treated like garbage. The staff felt like they can talk to you like garbage. They gave us the wrong order we still tried to eat it but all of it was horrible. I just cant believe how when the world changes how rude people (staff at The High Note) become. I wasted to much money with these awful people.

What a gem!

So happy I found this place during my quick visit and they just reopened back for indoor dining (limited of course). Breakfast burrito is such a bomb (not exaggerating). Real delicious home made food made from scratch and not expensive.

Pros: Delicious , Home made from scratch , Sweet staff and 90’s music :)

Cons: Non

Can’t beat the food

My SO and I are obsessed with this place. We eat there embarrassingly often. Everything we have had so far has been absolutely delicious and their homemade bread is mind-blowing. I recommend the gyro, breakfast burrito, and breakfast sandwich.

Pros: A ton of options , The food is amazing , The staff are really friendly

Cons: Close early-ish
