 Bursts with fresh selections |
888 West Fort Street Boise, ID 83702 United States +1 208 472 4500 http://www.boisecoop.com/ |
A grocery store on the move is the best way to describe this cooperative market. Its roots go back to 1973, where it began on its path to the present location. A succession of stores followed from Hyde Park to Hill Road. Today, the spacious store in the North End offers locally produced goods from organic vegetables to muffins and fresh-baked breads. Gourmet coffee and carefully selected beer and wine are also available. The deli's display case bursts with color and selections include pasta salads and a multitude of cheeses.

Grab a tray and go |
801 Main Street (Eighth and Main streets) Boise, ID 83702 United States +1 208 342 3456 |
One of the city's favorite downtown cafes, this eatery has pleased palates for years. Slow-roasted meats, hand-kneaded bread baked in brick-lined ovens and old-fashioned milkshakes are among the popular choices. Don't let the tray fool you into thinking about junior high school cafeteria food, either. Its selections, such as the Louisiana Cajun Gumbo, Beanery Club and Apple Bread Pudding with Bourbon Walnut Sauce, are not only edible, but enjoyable too! Patio and indoor seating are available. The eatery is adjacent to the Boise Center on the Grove, Boise's brick-covered plaza. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Lovingly created sandwiches |

The sign is flashy. There are brightly colored food items, and the selection is overwhelming. But this eatery, located in the Boise Towne Square Mall, pleases everyone. Low-key and casual, the 10 restaurants represented here are perfect for large groups that can't agree on a single restaurant. Under one roof, diners will find Mario's Pizza, Kelly's Cajun Grill, Edo-Japan, Great Steak and Potato Co., Courtside Deli, Panda Express and a variety of chain restaurants.

Sandwiches with Texas twist |
1201 South Vista Avenue Boise, ID 83705 United States +1 208 331 1173 |
With its roots in College Station, Texas, home of Texas A&M University, this small eatery adds a Texas-twist to lunch vittles. Offering submarine sandwiches, burgers, salads and croissant sandwiches, the utilitarian eatery makes up for its lack of decor in generous helpings. Specialty sandwiches include the Grilled Ham, and Turkey and Roast Beef Croissant. A side order of fries is a meal on its own, and ice cream creations are the perfect to end to your meal.
