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

glad we went

Had the burrito daily special which was delicious and wasn’t just the run of the mill burrito; it had a peppery hominy as part of the filling. Also had pie that was yummy. For drinks had a couple different versions of the lemonade. We ordered and left and came back and the food was ready pretty much exactly when they said it would be.

Tasty Vegan Junk Food

There were not a lot of vegan options traveling through Iowa so we were thrilled to support an all vegan restaurant. We got the habanero quesadilla, horseradish cream melt and the breakfast sandwich. The best part of the meal was actually the Caesar side salad. Almost never order salads at restaurants because I feel like I’m missing out but it was incredibly tasty. 100% worth visiting if you’re around Boise. There’s a nice park with picnic tables two blocks away you can take your food to.

Pros: Sizable portions for the money, All vegan

Cons: Greasier side, but it’s expected for junk food!

Delicious breakfast tacos 😋

Wish we could have eaten more from High Note! Only ordered some breakfast tacos to go before heading to less vegan-friendly places and I'm so glad I did. Delicious! The rest of the menu looks great, too.

Pros: All plant-based, friendly, cool vibes ✌🏻

Love this place

This is one of my favorites. I have had many items on their menu and everything was pretty good. Everything is vegan. Can’t really say I have a favorite item. The tacos are delicious and the gyro was stellar. They have good food but not open when I’m don't with work so I have to get someone to go in for me. But now they close earlier so I can’t get food unless I want it sitting for 8 hours.

Pros: All vegan , Nice variety, Live music

Cons: Closes early. , Doesn’t take card payments anymore, Dark dining room.

Great options, kinda greasy

I love a vegan diner. Love. Upon seeing the menu I decided I would eat here both of my nights in Boise. The quesadilla with soy curls was delicious. But I wound up with a bad stomach ache - maybe because the good was kind of greasy. Also the ventilation was terrible and my coat smelled like grease for days. I opted for a different option night two.

Pros: Full vegan menu , Really great options

Cons: Poorly ventilated - my coat smelled for days , Greasy - I got a bad stomach ache

I love high note, I am actually obsessed with their scramble breakfast sandwich I definitely fiend for it. Everything I've had there has been delicious and when I had a problem with bad avocado the owner reached out to me personally !!

Pros: Very tasty

The Best

Awesome vegan breakfast!!! Can’t go wrong with the scrambles, the burrito, or tacos. Great black beans. Often bring my omni family members here and they’ve all loved it. The only thing I’m not a fan of is the seitan. It’d be awesome if they had some tempeh.

Pros: All vegan, Awesome flavor, Perfect tofu scramble

10/10 will eat here again and again

The food here is so good. Everything I’ve had is delicious and filling. It’s comforting to know I won’t “accidentally” get meat or dairy in my food!! The breakfast burrito, scramble, hummus pita and grilled cheese are all so tasty! I can’t wait to try everything else on the menu!

Pros: All vegan , Made fresh , Good portions

Cons: Hours can be inconsistent

Totally vegan!!!

Quirky and we love it. No freezer, made fresh from scratch, with love...and you can taste it. Glad their desserts are not gluten free, or I'd be in trouble!

Delicious with a Great Setting

The high note is a special place in Boise. It has great food and is now 100% plant based, so order whatever looks best and feel great about supporting someone who is doing the right thing. I'm sure it was a big risk for an established business to make a drastic shift away from meat and dairy, let's be sure to support the heck out of this place and show them it was a good move, ethically and financially.

Pros: Delicious Food, Great Setting, Live Entertainment

So so good!!

We ordered a quesadilla, hot cakes and two of their many sandwich options. EVERYTHING tasted so good! The only downside was the food took a while to come out. The waitress was amazing as well. Everything was decently priced.

Pros: Nice staff, Decent prices, Lots of variety

Cons: A little bit of a wait

Amazing All Vegan Breakfast!

So Good

Came to visit the first all vegan Cafe in the Treasure Valley. It did not disappoint. This small cafe puts out big flavor. We ordered off the brunch menu and had the breakfast burrito, breakfast torta and breakfast potatoes. So good! Coffee was excellent too. Everything was made fresh. No prepackaged food here.

Pros: All vegan options, Affordable, Wonderful service

I had the best experience !!

I read the reviews and was still willing to go (it’s the ONLY vegan place in Boise, I had to!). I was half prepared for them to be closed during business hours and half prepared for the staff to be rude. It couldn’t have been more different, I was greeted as soon as I walked in and the staff was so friendly! They were even very accommodating to all of my customizations. So maybe I caught them on a good day, I don’t know but still definitely check it out!! The food was amazing !!!

Good food, inconsistent everything else

After hearing about their switch at all vegan I was excited to give them a try on my next trip to Boise. It was a Saturday and got there at 2pm, wasn’t given a menu, had to grab it from another empty table myself. After looking over the menu I decided what I wanted. Waitress came by to get a drink order and I said I knew what I wanted to order for food as well but was told she could only take a drink order at the moment, odd. Finally she comes back and I order only to be told that they were only serving brunch that day. It wasn’t on called out of the menu or one any visible sign that they were only serving brunch and other people came in and tried to order lunch items as well only to be told the same thing. Wasn’t told either when the drink order was taken.

The food was good, in fact service and menu issues aside I was eager to come back just for the food. They also started turning people away at 3 saying they were closed until 5, but that wasn’t listed anywhere either. The following Monday I tried to stop by to grab a breakfast burrito before I left town but they were closed, it was 9:15 and the sign on the door said open at 9.... I really want to support this place since they switched to all vegan for the animals but it’s hard when the hours aren’t reliable and you don’t know what you can order until the waitress comes to take your order.

I might give them another chance next time I’m in town but there are a lot of other great places in the area that have vegan options, they aren’t full vegan but if I can count on the hours, menu, and have good service it’s hard not to support those other places.

Pros: All vegan, Great food

Cons: Inconsistent hours , Don’t know what part of the menu they serve when

Terrible Service

I'd been looking forward to trying this place for weeks unfortunately after going there I still haven't tried the food. When we got there we stood in the door way awkwardly for a few minutes, no one greeted us even though there were 3 people standing behind the counter (one who was standing there eating in the prep area), we though maybe we were supposed to seat ourselves, but when we tried to do the the waitress snapped at us that we needed to wait for her to seat us... so we stood by the door and waited some more, the waitress finally asked us how many in our party but then walked outside and started helping another table. After that we decided to leave and the waitress laughed as we walked by her on the way out. So I can't speak for their food but won't be returning do to service.

Unexpected treat!

I was just walking passed this place and saw the vegan grilled cheese sign! It’s not the best grilled cheese I’ve ever had, but it’s a solid choice and an unexpected treat. I’d come back. The staff is super nice and the food is fast and reasonably priced.

Love that the owner turned the whole restaurant vegan!

Pros: All vegan now!!!!, Reasonably priced, Good location
