The foothills of Boise have a reputation for being our greatest example of how this city shines. Poppyseed has become a local favorite site due to a caring owner and consistent thoughtful food. You're treated to a high level of service that helps you feel like family. Kim's savory pastries always hit the spot. Her coffee is magic. Her burritos and wraps are monstrosities. The lift is relaxing, the patio is quaint with its little fireplace tables. I hope you try this place out. Take some time, slow down, enjoy, or grab a Foothills Fog & Blackberry Danish to-go.

It's always fun to find hidden treasures in my city. My son and I stopped in for breakfast while waiting for an oil change nearby, when we left my son asked " How have we not known about this place before ?" It's one of Boise's best little secrets, I suppose. Basically, when it comes to the menu, the choice is yours . You can be healthy, semi naughty or real naughty, and it's all delicious (we might have tried a few things ) . Service was delivered with a smile, and attitude of gratitude. The staff was happy to have us visit and show us around the menu items. I love having a latte with my breakfast. Life is good when you're at Poppy Seed Cafe.

What a great find! I'm from the other side of Boise and met a friend here for a light breakfast and to get caught up. The breakfast sandwich was hot and fresh. Very friendly staff. Will certainly be back when on this side of Boise!

Filled with good smells! The quiche was about the best I've ever had, looking forward to trying more of the menu. Not much seating but that isn't really a bad thing, perfect size for cozy meeting with friends or a day off. Plus they serve Ironside coffee which can only mean good things!

It was my first time here and I wasn’t expecting much going in, I thought it was a café with a few pastries however I was very surprised to see a full breakfast menu. I got the avocado toast and coffee and a pastry and everything was top notch and very delicious. The place is very cute to go and study they have free Wi-Fi. I highly recommend this place and I will be back to try more stuff from their menu.

Cutest little bakery/coffee shop. I had a London fog latte that was TO DIE FOR, and was blown away at the case of delicious treats to look at!! These berries and cream tarts (pictured) were just beautiful. The quiches were HUGE and mouthwatering with 3 different flavors available. I had a salted caramel brownie with a pretzel crust that was oooey, gooey, crunchy, salty, and just totally dreamy. The girls working were super friendly to top it off. Definitely stop in!

Delicious coffee combined with a tasty scone severed my needs. Friendly staff also. They offer a nice selection of pastries. A must try are the wonderful biscuits and gravy a real treat.
