Boise’s North End Neighborhood Culinary News

Boise’s North End has always had a charm all its own, where tree-lined, historic streets, character-rich homes, and the hum of front porch conversations meet the energy of a vibrant, connected community. Just minutes from downtown, this cherished enclave is home to iconic Harrison Boulevard, Camel’s Back Park, the Boise Co-Op, and of course, Hyde Park—a perennial favorite for locals and visitors alike.

Known for its long-standing eateries like Parilla Grill, 13th Street Pub, Goody’s Ice Cream, and Certified Kitchen + Bakery, the North End continues to evolve with exciting new additions that blend seamlessly into its neighborhood vibe. Over the past year, 13th Street’s patio extension and Lost Grove’s remodel have only elevated the area’s walkable, friendly atmosphere, perfect for patio dining, people-watching, and soaking up the soul of the North End.

Two New Concepts in One Convenient Spot

At 1607 N. 13th Street, a familiar Victorian-style home-turned-commercial space, now welcomes a dynamic duo: Hydeaway Deli and Boise Boba. Previously home to Apericena, the reimagined space features a cozy outdoor patio and a promising lineup. Boise Boba, already a local favorite with several Treasure Valley locations, offers a colorful menu of milk teas, fruity infusions, and blended beverages.

Hydeaway Deli offers a small but mighty lineup of sandwiches—like The Hydeaway, stacked with turkey, feta, apricot jam, arugula, and balsamic glaze—with more menu additions in the works. On hot days, pairing a cold boba and a hearty sandwich under the patio umbrellas may just become the new Hyde Park ritual.

Dee’s Ice Cream Trolley

Just down the block, Hyde Park now has a brand-new dessert destination with a heartwarming backstory. Dee’s Ice Cream Trolley, a lovingly restored vintage trolley, serves scoops of locally made ice cream from The STIL. Owner Quinn Skillin—a former Boise State football player—discovered the trolley on Facebook Marketplace and transformed it by hand. Named after his mother, Dee’s brings a mix of community, history, and joy to the neighborhood, offering a playful, nostalgic way to cool off this summer.

Raibu Sushi Arrives

Just a few blocks away on Fort Street, the North End is about to welcome a culinary heavy-hitter. Michelin-starred San Francisco restaurateur Kash Feng, alongside local developer Jon Bergschneider, is bringing Raibu Sushi to the former Bistro d’Helene space near the Boise Co-Op. This intimate, upscale sushi and steakhouse concept will feature a traditional sushi bar and a binchotan grill—blending precise Japanese technique with a Boise-local feel.

It’s a refined addition to a neighborhood more known for cozy cafés and casual eateries, and a promising sign of the evolving culinary identity of the North End.

Coming Soon: Sunset’s Food Truck Lot

Just beyond Hyde Park, in the Collister area near Veterans Memorial Park, the North End’s casual dining scene is also expanding with the launch of the State Street Food Truck Lot. Housed on a former auto body site, the new venue will host up to four rotating trucks, including favorites like Pop’s Taqueria and Anzalone Pizza, alongside live music and community bike-in promotions. It’s an exciting new space for casual dining, community gatherings, and weeknight bites.

Boise’s North End has long balanced historic charm with vibrant energy. With these exciting new additions, the neighborhood continues to elevate its lifestyle offerings without losing its sense of place.
