Great place, wonderful service, amazing food! I'm gluten free and I got three whole slices of French toast - simply amazing. So tasty. Didn't get sick. Lovely staff. Loved the location. Loved listening to the other staff interact with customers.
I’m disappointed that the bacon burger couldn’t be made gluten free because of cross contamination on the griddle. While I appreciate the acknowledgment of celiac disease, I’m concerned about their ability to truly prepare gluten-free food.
If you have celiac and want fast food this is a safe bet. Just tell them when you order and they'll separate your tortillas and they'll even fry your shrimp in a separate pan!
I don't recommend this place for exciting Gluten free options. Unfortunately the waffle they have is not very tasty and unless you willing to pay significantly more for an attempt at remaking the waffles advertised for regular waffles it's just not worth it. The server was kind however my waffle was cold. Beautiful atmosphere, it just doesn't meet expectations.
Called ahead to say we were celebrating an anniversary, as well as we have a celiac. We were told that the most expensive menu choice was our only option! $38.95 compared to the average $13.95. The steak option was also only gluten free with nothing but a steak! No sides or a server willing to help us enjoy our dinner.
I went out on a limb and picked this Boise staple and lost at every point. Sad to say we will never go back!
I planned to trip to the city and need a place to accommodate both my wife and I desire for a good quality meal and the safety of a place that knows how to prepare things for people with food allergies like my son.
I made an inquiry to the website about their handling of gluten free and dairy free items. The general manager wrote back within minutes, providing an outline of how they approach safely, providing their food, and offering us the opportunity to make a reservation.
We arrived at the time reserved and service was prompt, welcoming, and made us at ease.
The food was spectacular. American fare is American fare is American fare, right? Wrong. The wings were executed flawlessly. Fries served thinner but not quite into pomme frittes delicacy, in a way that's well suited the truffle cheese upgrade.
The sauces, rubs, and garnishes are the subtle touches that make "typical American fare," anything but typical.
Service was excellent. Food very average.. didn’t match up with the experience the restaurant was trying to achieve.
The best dish was the rhubarb tart with oat milk .
(1) Gluten-free bread- was hard
(2) Crab & artichoke - Yummy
3) soup - sour & peppery. Average taste but pretty
4) Monk-fish : nice presentation but tasteless.. the sesame caviar wasn’t salty at all thus didn’t help to bring any taste to the monk fish
5) Pork - overcooked thus dry & very salty
6) Rhubarb tart - best
Warm towels at the end … nice gesture... note to restaurant .. perhaps use tongs to place the towels on plates instead of hands
"I recently had breakfast here and found it to be a clean and welcoming spot, with a particularly friendly face at the front counter. However, while the service and atmosphere were positive, the food presentation left something to be desired. I ordered the breakfast burrito, which, at a price point of $12-14, arrived on a plate with only salsa. While the flavor was adequate, I couldn't help but feel a side of fruit or even a small garnish would have greatly improved the overall experience and value. My wife's gluten-free avocado toast, though tasty, also seemed to lack the visual appeal and extra touches that elevate similar dishes at other establishments.
In a competitive breakfast market, presentation and perceived value are crucial. While the core flavors were there, the simplicity of the plating made the dishes feel somewhat overpriced. The cleanliness and friendly service are definite positives, and I believe with some attention to improving the visual appeal of the food and perhaps offering sides to enhance the meal, a cafe could truly shine. There's potential here, but the food needs to match the high standards set by the service and cleanliness to make it a truly winning combination."
Lovely lunch spot, feels like you're in an Italian deli. All of the food is fresh, gourmet-quality, so many options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, etc... Fantastic place for lunch, European gifts, prepared meals to bring home for later. Literally our favorite deli!
I have celiac and there are not many places for me to get food that’s including the grocery stores that mainly have gluten free junk food so my partner tried to help me find something to eat that was an actual meal (yes I’m new to the diagnosis) so we settled on this place b we saw they had some options so we ordered and waited he got a notification about 20 min after we ordered that they couldn’t fill the order and gave a refund and u know sitting here typing this I’m very starved b no one can live off junk and gluten free stuff is not cheap nor do I have the knowledge of making any of the meals so ordering was the realistic option so thank u for the refund when I really needed food that u supposedly serve I think u should change ur menu options if u don’t serve gluten free or just don’t want to
The food and atmosphere were great. I specifically want to thank my server Troy for making excellent food recommendations to accommodate my gluten allergy, as well as recommending places to go in Boise.
I’m so thrilled that Sunshine Spice has opened in downtown Boise! Unfortunately, the timing was awful and there is a large roadwork project right on their street. Please don’t let that stop you from seeking them out! The sidewalk is open. You can enter at Idaho and 10th. Try a cardamom or saffron latte. The hazelnut and passion fruit tarts are divine and they have an entire rainbow of gluten free cookies that are delicious!!
