    The Protein Spot
    Brittanee W.

    I stumbled across this place with my family after our first 5k run/walk . Great atmosphere , friendly employees. A great healthy menu that is very fulfilling for any and everyone. Whether you do single serving of protein or double, great serving sizes where you feel full , but not overfilled and not still hungry. All options feel very light on the stomach even with double protein. The ToGo meals are such a cool option for easy meal prepping that you can buy right there in store. I really enjoy this place and trying the different bowls. So far the Cheeseburger Bowl is in the lead. A healthy way to itch that cheeseburger taste craving!

    Great food for great prices. They also have a really good grab and go protein focused meal prep containers that are really useful for work.

    Fantastic spot. I'm from San Diego and would eat here at least twice a week if we had one!

    There's a reason ā café is the highest-rated brunch in Boise. This is a clean, bright, vibrant…read morespace with incredible food! I swear the D-Town Scramble must be the best scrambled eggs I've ever eaten. Sitting at the counter and enjoying pastries and breakfast foods is just an exquisite experience I must have again!

    We picked the spot because we saw they had breakfast sandwiches, which we love, and our bellies…read morewere so happy we visited this cafe as rhere seems to be a cafe on every block. When you walk in, you will order from one of the friendly servers, who will give you a number for your order. Then, you can pick a spot around the room to sit. They have one large table, a handful of tables with bench seating along the wall, a high-top area, and counter-space bar-like seats. Lots of people were working while they drank lattes and ate food. We chose the egg, bacon, avocado sandwich, and an egg scramble to share. The sandwich was insanely good. The bacon is super crispy. The egg was perfectly cooked. The bun was buttery, toasted, and the avocados were real and mushy. It was such a thick sandwich. Getting it all in your mouth was tricky, but each perfect bite was phenomenal. We also got the simple scramble, which was scrambled eggs, pepper, and avocado on the side. The scrambled eggs reminded me of my mom because they were light and fluffy. I also got there with hippie chai to drink with our food. The habit guy had cold brew in it, and it was lovely.

    For me, wild root is a tried and true Boise staple. I have been here time and time again and each…read moretime I walk away happy, satisfied, and full. Their menu changes with the season but some of my favorites are the avocado toast with an egg over easy add steak, and their seasonal sweet potato hash. The flavors are fresh fruits and vegetables are incorporated throughout their menu and their dishes. The restaurant feels welcoming with beautiful decor, light and airy windows an amazing staff. Wild Root feels like a little Indy breakfast brunch and lunch spot. I am never disappointed. I always recommend this place to my friends. 10 out of 10 every single time.

    TEMPORARILY CLOSED AS OF 12/1/25 per letter posted on eatery door. See excerpts below…read more I was a big fan of this eatery under original owners but not so much since the current owners took over. So, I don't weep for their need to re-evaluate but realize fans will be disappointed. If you have gift cards you can use them at St. Lawrence Gridiron or Rustica, two other Boise downtown restaurants with the same owners. From the letter on door: "As many know, there has been a significant slowdown in consumer spending, especially in restaurants starting late 2024. We've done our very best to keep prices in line with what makes sense to cover costs and provide full benefits for our amazing staff," the letter said. "However, with sales down across all entities this year, we must re-evaluate our operations and make the necessary difficult decisions to be a sustainable business. Also, for the first time in many years, we recently lost two key people in our organization, and they both were a large part of what made Wild Root special. Last, we are heading into the slower, winter months. Instead of scrambling to keep the doors open, we are going to shut it down to evaluate everything."

    After experiencing wildly successful popularity last year for their Friday lunches, owner Rita…read moreSturiale closed the cafe portion of this gift shop - café in roughly December to regroup. So it was delightful when The Sturiale Place reopened last month (May 2018) as warm and wonderful as ever for ambiance in the lovingly restored old house, hospitality, service and food. With a revised and bit expanded menu and a new young Chef in the kitchen, formerly Executive Chef at a Portland area McMenamins, this was a unique little gem before and the changes have polished it even brighter. Our first lunch after re-opening was as delightful as the others we enjoyed here last year (see my previous review for details). This time we enjoyed being able to try new menu items like green salad with Delicata squash and herbed goat cheese (half order $7.50), house made pappardelle with braised lamb Bolognese ($18) and mushroom Marsala on polenta ($13). As a great new surprise on the wine menu, manager Gina Sturiale (daughter of Rita) has added a really good white and red wine by the glass, like the nice Negroamaro my husband enjoyed, for as little as $5! The menu spans options from soup through appetizers and starter or main course sized salads through entrees to desserts. Prices range from $6 to $18. Total inside seating is limited to maybe 16 and maybe about that many on an outside deck. So this is not a place for big groups. It is likely not a kids' destination either. As added treat they are now open on Thursday and Friday from 11 to 2 for lunch. And now reservations can be made via Open Table.

    Make sure you have a reservation before you come! We got turned away at the door because we didn't…read morehave one. Not subtracting stars for that, since it was our fault. I did subtract one star because there is only street parking and many spaces you need a residential permit to park. Also, they have such limited hours of operation. Won't be able to try again until next week. We have a reservation for next Friday, so I will update with review on food then.....
