Certified has become a part of my weekly routine! I have yet to have something I haven't enjoyed. From the english muffins, to superfood salad, cookies, and carrot cake everything they do is the best! Their certified breakfast sandwich is a favorite and one of my favorite places to stop before heading up to ski bogus! The only con is the lack of indoor seating. It's for sure a grab and go place and their line is often out the door. If you know what you'd like highly recommend ordering online and taking it to the park! read more

Now I'm pretty sure I've written a review for their breakfast sandwich and English Muffins...best EVER! This is for the lunch I just picked up, which if I was closer I would take back! I ordered the Veggie Sandwich, which according to the Menu; seasonal veggies, greens and spreads...now first off this was a wrap, not on bread...second a few veggies but mostly Quinoa....i HATE Quinoa and it is neither a green or a spread! Was not, in any way what I ordered!!! Buyer beware!! I'll stick to Breakfast! KT read more

I live a few blocks away from certified and it's always a great treat to stop by there. Was craving a good sandwich in between the workday and I got a pulled pork sandwich. It had super delicious flavors within it, especially with the little greens and the pulled pork not feeling too heavy with it. The ciabatta was the main dealbreaker for me selecting that sandwich. It was so fluffy and delicious and tasted like it was fresh out of the oven. All of the stuff is always super sweet. My mom is obsessed with their blueberry bars and if I do not come prepared with four blueberry bars, when I visit, she will be very disappointed. Always a great time to stop by certified and get a treat. Definitely try out their baked goodies as well. read more

I find myself at certified at least twice a week. A staple in Hyde park you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. From their handcrafted sandwiches to their coffees, desserts and prepackaged snacks for picnics certified makes their food with love. My favorite is the French style pancakes, which of course is a crêpe, just by a different name. They serve it with Nutella and fresh berries, and it is to die for. Their baked goods and pastries are 10 out of 10 delicious their Star cookies and the sourdough brownie are some of my favorites. they do have gluten-free breads and desserts so it is a gluten-free friendly place. they do not have much indoor seating at all. They do have a very small bar top with some barstools, but it gets very crowded during the busy time. I recommend getting your food to go and sitting at one of the tables outside. To me, certified kitchen and bakery, represents a successful neighborhood café/lunch spot. They have great options for just about everyone. A great spot if you're going to picnic at Cammile's back or bringing a friend from out of town who's visiting or just picking up breakfast or lunch on your way to the office. I highly recommend. read more

I've been here twice now, and both times I've walked away genuinely impressed. The Certified Breakfast Sandwich is a winner--super filling with fresh, flavorful ingredients. Special shoutout to the bacon: perfectly cooked, not too crispy and definitely not limp. Just right. The staff is consistently friendly and impressively efficient, moving long lines quickly without making anyone feel rushed. While the restaurant doesn't have much indoor seating, it's easy to grab your sandwich and head to the nearby park or one of the many benches along the street to enjoy your meal. This spot is quickly becoming a favorite. Simple, satisfying, and run by a team that clearly cares about both the food and the customer experience. read more

Usually come here for the breakfast items but, wanted to try some of the sweets. The Breakfast burrito, grain bowl, and sandwhiches are all amazing and fresh to order. The Matcha isn't ceremonial but is a local business, I added an extra shot of Matcha and less Milk. It's okay but, recco to add a bit of sweetener since it comes out to be a bit bitter. The cookie was chewy on the inside and crispy on the edges. Love the addition of pecans and the folds bring more texture to the cookie. The service is great, tons of staff working tirelessly to get orders out. There's a few chairs on the side. Will be back again! read more

Coffee is bitter. They gave my sister two of the wrong cookies and breakfast sandwich was inconsistent. Each bite tasted different. Cold case looks promising. I wanted this to be so much more. I'll give them four stars for english muffins and friendly service. No where to sit inside or out which feels intentional. read more

Great food. Service is always stellar and worth the wait. Breakfast sandwiches are amazing.

The sourdough English muffins are so good. You can get just an English muffin with butter and jam or get it on a breakfast sandwich. I really enjoyed the tumeric ginger tea with honey as well as the spiced citrus latte. I always come here when traveling! The lines are not too bad during the week day in the morning aside from the weekends! There is some seating in there but it's mainly to wait for your food as it's a long hallway essentially so more of a grab and go or grab and eat outside on a bench somewhere on 13th! read more

I'm obsessed with this place! From the lattes to the sandwiches to the baked goods, everything is soooo good. You have to get a starchip cookie! Heads up, this place really is best enjoyed to go! It's order at the counter and there is not nearly enough seating for how popular they are. Nevertheless, I'm loyal to Certified! read more

When this small storefront in Hyde Park opened, they transformed weekend breakfast in the North End! They continue to deliver on their signature breakfast sandwich and all the sweet and savory treats they offer! If you're near, stop by to try something, anything, you won't be disappointed! #lovelightjoy read more

Cool spot for a casual coffee and breakfast sandwich. Coffee was good and well made. Breakfast sandwich had a really good English muffin and savory bacon but at $11, was a bit on the pricey side so dock one star. Overall pretty good. read more

Our friend who used to live in Boise recommended we come here for lunch because it was her "go-to spot for when friends visit." Boy, was she right!! This place was incredible. The ambience is so cute, very vibey with cute trinkets for sale and a table of cool cookbooks. The prices were great, the people were very friendly. There wasn't too much seating, but we found some stools at the counter to sit on. The sandwiches were out of this world. They tasted so fresh, the bacon was so tasty. The bread itself was absolutely amazing, it tasted so homemade. Apparently they use a 50 year old sourdough starter for their bread and some baked goods. The star shaped cookie was delicious, great texture. So good can't wait to come back here again. 10/10!! read more

Ordered the coque madam, breakfast sandwich, star chip cookie, and sour dough brownie. The sandwiches were fine, a bit under seasoned. The cookie was great, one of the better cookies I've had anywhere. I'll be dreaming about the sour dough brownie! So fudgy and moist! read more

Looks can be deceiving, Food is basic like a step above Starbucks , they have a whole team in there and can't even cook a sunny side up egg, the brisket sandwich was poor quality meat on a cheap piece of rye bread, tthe most saddest sandwiches in the world. If you don't like your job just don't work there because I can taste it every last bit of it. I would give this place a -1star but The only thing saving this place is their selection of baked goods. They should just stick to that n their coffee is decent. Also that girl who served me doesn't look so happy she should pursue what she really wants in life. read more

Came here on a Monday morning and the line was short. A couple places to eat indoors, but it's mainly takeout. I got the breakfast sandwich and added bacon. The 55-year-old sourdough starter for the english muffin was so good! The bread was clearly next level. I wish the egg patty was a little bigger; it should fill out the bread more. The arugula was a nice touch. My boyfriend also got the breakfast burrito; it looked average, but I liked the salsa that came with it. I would order from here again. read more

I hesitate to give this place all the stars it deserves because it's already a popular spot for locals. They might run out of cookies! LOL. I wish there was more space to hang out but then it wouldn't be as quick. The ambiance reminds me of bustling pastry shops in Italy. The food seems to be made with great wholesome ingredients, like real butter. read more

The Croque Madame was perfect - not drowning in Dijon mustard and the best sourdough English muffin. Add a Star chip cookie as the chaser and you've got the perfect breakfast. You won't be disappointed if you go to Certified Kitchen. read more

This place was buzzing with people left and right! Walking in to this store front, there are a bunch of neat gifts and treats in the front for sale. It is a smaller venue so it was kind of tight around people. For an eatery I was expecting tables and chairs but the only seating available was barstools against the wall. For breakfast I grabbed an iced vanilla oat milk latte and the croque madamm breakfast sandwich. The oat milk latte was delicious. It was balanced with sweetness from the vanilla, the creaminess of the oat milk and the bitter from the espresso. The sandwich came out fresh and hot! The English muffin was perfectly baked and soft. The dijion mustard added great flavor to the ham. The combination of everything made such a great breakfast sandwich. The staff was friendly and fast! They have pre made items and drinks in the refrigerators for easy grab and go meals. I look forward to going back and trying other items on their menu! read more

I visit Certified at least 1-2x a week. I've tried just about everything and you really can't go wrong with what you decide. Everyone loves the certified breakfast sandwich and it is great- I bring friends here all the time for it. However, I think the trailhead breakfast bowl and the seasonal veggie sandwiches are severely underrated. Over the summer the seasonal option was a veggie wrap and currently it's a yam banh mi sandwich-- both were truly out of this world. So fresh and exploding with flavor. Really can't recommend them enough. The thing I would not necessarily recommend ordering at Certified is their flavored lattes/coffee- I feel like they're very bland and you can find much better coffee elsewhere in Boise (there's a lot of great spots). I order coffee here and always regret it as I leave underwhelmed. All in all, a great place and can't get enough! Staff are friendly and it's a lovely neighborhood spot. read more

I just wanted to add that their STAR Cookies and Sourdough Brownies are out of this world!!! And, if you want a really good breakfast sandwich, order the CROQUE MADAME STYLE. Minimal ingredients, but wonderful flavor, and easy to take "to go". I'm going to try the Certified Egg Sandwich on my next visit, just for fun. :) read more

This is my second visit to the spot in Hyde Park. The food is definitely fresh., the service is quick and efficient. However, if you're claustrophobic maybe not the spot for you. The layout is just like a long train track. It reminds me of New York City every time I go into this place.. First time I had the certified sandwich pretty on point maybe a little bland and today I have the breakfast ranchero burrito . Delicious, both just lack a little seasoning ! read more

Stopped here because of a suggestion from a Boise local and it did not disappoint! Be ready and willing to wait if you do not come early and good luck getting a seat as there is super limited seating areas (just a couple of long bars). There are a lot of great options on the menu and baked goods out. They also sell their English muffins by the 1/2 dozen, so if you loved your breakfast sandwich, you can try and replicate it at home with your English muffins. Ordered their Huevos rancheros breakfast burrito and it was excellent and had great flavor. It was really full and had a good ratio of eggs, potatoes, and cheese. Love that breakfast is served all day! Should have also tried their breakfast sandwich. Next time! Would recommend! Also have a great kids menu. read more

12/10 coffee. Drank one there and had to get another one to-go it was so good. Came in with a group of 8 hungry road trippers and I found this place on TikTok and it didn't let me down. Food was so great and had so many gluten free options for the celiac girlies in the car. Fresh, great tasting food. Chocolate cake was to die for. Baristas were so sweet and got our order out to us quick! Will go back when we're in town!! read more

4.5 rounded up Mediocre service and coffee but outstanding food! We tried the breakfast sandwiches (9/10), pumpkin bread (10/10), and a latte (6/10). Food tasted fresh, but the pumpkin bread was served cold; it was like it had just been pulled out of the refrigerator. This is more of a grab and go place with cute but pricey items like cookbooks and candles for purchase. It gets crowded here, so be sure to keep that in mind while ordering. Would definitely return! read more

All Boise locals know that this is THE SPOT! Doors opened at 8 am today and THOUGHT we were early rolling in at 7:45 am - and yet, we were behind about 20 people already! Proof positive that this place is the shizzzz! Ordered breakfast sando and a croque madame for the road - - - but absolutely couldn't leave without a couple of pieces of their coffee cake - it is DIVINE! Did I mention that WE DON'T EVEN LIVE IN THIS STATE but ALWAYS do a detour through Boise on road trips JUST TO POP IN TO GET OUR COFFEE CAKE FIX! LOVE that they serve breakfast all day and appreciate the culinary creativity I couldn't give it a full five stars, though, because I don't love their "certified" breakfast sandwich - it's the only menu item that I don't adore, and I was disappointed as I truly believed it was going to be amazing. Still, we keep going. Because - coffeecakelove! Tips: call in your order before you drive over before items sell out! read more

The uncles took out the niece for a stroll. We were hungry and saw a long line come out of this place, and thought it would be worth the wait given the attention. We were stoked for how refreshing and delicious our food came out. There wasn't much seating, but we spontaneously found a curb in the neighborhood, and it made the experience much more special! Indoors get crowded but it's a warm, welcoming environment. We all shared a piece of our food and immediately gave a thumbs up to each other. This will be a new brunch spot for us and the kiddo. read more

Imagine this, you wake up and realize you forgot to order Mom's favorite carrot cake for her 73rd birthday today! You hustle to Certified Kitchen Bakery and yup, your fears have become a reality. These carrot cakes sell out quickly. In comes "Lola", who's all hands on deck on a Sunday morning with all 16 arms doing all sorts of things as people just kept coming in through the door. I asked Lola if they had a carrot cake in the back by chance and she tells me she will check and she comes back and tells me there is one getting finished in the next 15 minutes and I tell her I will wait for it so in meantime I'm order a Certified breakfast sandwich and a chai tea latte and it was the most delicious waiting I have ever done and while I enjoyed my yummy breakfast sandwich I got to see the kitchen staff (army / soldiers) put on an amazing performance. I love how the kitchen is exposed. They so need a reality TV show to capture the team work & individual commitment. I saw it and I can't unsee it. Lola you are the bomb and to everyone in the kitchen, congratulations for the artists you each are and for being the best part of the Certified ambiance. read more
