Moon's Kitchen Cafe is a lively breakfast and brunch spot nestled in Boise’s downtown area, known especially for its varied Benedict selections and hearty breakfast plates. Set at 800 W Main St, it draws a mix of locals looking for a substantial morning meal and visitors eager to dive into a thoughtfully curated menu.

The atmosphere here feels casual yet full of energy—expect a bustling environment especially on weekend mornings. Conversations rise with the sounds of service moving briskly, reflective of both the cafe’s popularity and the friendly hustle of its staff. It's the sort of place where servers are attentive and knowledgeable, helping guests navigate the menu which emphasizes classic and creative takes on breakfast staples.

Moon's Kitchen Cafe suits those who come hungry and appreciate a solid, well-executed breakfast. Dishes like the Classic Moon’s Beni—a perfectly poached egg on a grilled English muffin with Canadian bacon and hollandaise—stand out for their balanced flavors and satisfying portions. For something with a twist, the Chicken Tamale Beni or California Beni offer interesting variations featuring fresh avocado and spinach. Fans of sweet options can look forward to specialties like Moon Babies, which are a light crepe-pancake hybrid served with raspberry compote, or the gluten-free pancakes that accommodate different dietary needs.

Those looking for a more casual, laid-back breakfast or brunch spot that goes beyond the usual diner fare will find Moon’s Kitchen an inviting option. The vibe suits solo visitors catching up on reading over a mocha or fresh-squeezed orange juice, as well as groups gathering for a weekend meal. Given the cafe’s location, parking can be a bit of a challenge, so planning a visit during off-peak hours or with some extra time makes the experience smoother.

Overall, Moon's Kitchen Cafe works well for anyone craving a well-rounded breakfast in a place that combines a spirited downtown feel with thoughtfully prepared food. Whether you're drawn by the extensive Benedict offerings, the brunch classics, or the sweeter items, this spot maintains a steady flow of regulars and newcomers alike, who appreciate solid service paired with honest, satisfying food.

The Denver Omelet Guy

Moon's Kitchen Cafe Official Denver Omelet Review Appearance: 9.0 Full plate filled to the brim with hashbrowns, fresh toast, and the one and only Denver Omelet. Omelet had a light blanket of cheese, ingredients mixed within the egg, and a buttery cooked edge around the body of the Omelet. Ingredients: 8.5 Egg quality was very good and fluffy. Ham had a smoky aftertaste which was pleasant, however the size of the cubed ham was a little larger than I'd prefer. Peppers and onions were good but surprisingly did not stand out flavor wise. Cheese was nicely layered and did not overwhelm the experience. Taste: 8.75 This omelet speaks for itself. The taste was very delicious and had high quality ingredients, especially the eggs. The butter base was very yummy and worked well with the onion and eggs. Overall a very well-rounded flavor. Experience: 9.5 Moon's Kitchen Cafe was a very enjoyable Denver Omelet experience. Service was wonderful, atmosphere is vibey, and the location is in the heart of Boise. The fresh jam was a standout part of my experience, it was absolutely amazing. Toast was high quality, fresh pulp orange juice was great, and the potatoes were perfectly seasoned. I'd say the only .5 point mark down is that it is on the pricier side, however it is well worth it!!! Total Denver Omelet Review Score: 35.75 / 40

You guys! It's worth finding parking. Breakfast here was my favorite meal of my whole trip to Boise (and we are at some fancy schmancy places!) Such a fun atmosphere, our waitress (Hailey) was absolutely darling & very efficient..... but the best part... THE FOOD! The Irish Beni, which I ordered unassembled, was incredible. The corned beef is top notch! Beni sauce is fabulous. Such great flavor. We also ordered a latte that was also delicious! We will definitely be back. 10 outta 10

A must visit breakfast gem! Moons is hands-down my new favorite breakfast spot in the city. Locally owned and full of charm, this place gets everything right—from the warm atmosphere to the incredible food and unbeatable service. Our server, Jeffrey, was exceptional. Attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the menu—he made our experience even more memorable. The food? Out of this world. Their gluten-free options are some of the best I’ve ever had—especially the pancakes and toast, which were fluffy and flavorful without compromise. The house-made hollandaise sauce is a standout: rich, silky, and perfectly balanced. And the breakfast potatoes? Crispy perfection. To top it all off, the city views from the dining area make every bite feel like a little celebration. Whether you're gluten-free or just love a great breakfast, Moons is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back!

Decent food in a clean environment. It was fairly noisy when we were there. The French toast was good. The breakfast menu is large - lots of Benedicts and pancakes. Prices are on the higher side for a fairly standard breakfast.

Moons is always the go to breakfast spot in Boise, nothing beats it. Our go to’s are the chorizo omelette and chicken omelette. Moon babies are amazing if you’re feeling for a sweet breakfast.

The most interesting thing about eating at Moon's is actually just finding the darn place. While it's address is on Main its main entrance equipped with escalators to the second floor are located off of the pedestrian plaza without a street number address to be found anywhere. I was pleasantly surprised with, considering how hard it was to find, that it was as busy as it was and with predominantly a younger crowd. Something about the decor really clicked with me and Becca who attended to my table was especially pleasant and very attentive. Another funny thing was the pollished concrete floor and how it interacted with the ball type castors on the bottom of the chairs. This combination made it especially easy for my chair to move around and glide away from the table when I applied any kind of pressure against the table. Kind of had to wedge my feet to the floor to keep me in place. Would you otherwise notice this; I doubt it. But I'm off that way. Fun place, good food, music not too loud....yes I would return, especially since I know how to find it now.

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.

It was a busy still early Saturday brunch. I sat at the bar and kudos to Adriana for being the nicest and most efficient waitress I have known. The boise eggs benedict were generous and delicious and I tried a half portion of their celebrated beignets. They were light, fluffy and as good as those at Cafe du Monde!
