Caffeina Kitchen represents the evolution of a beloved Boise coffee tradition, seamlessly blending the cherished legacy of Big City Coffee with the innovative spirit of Caffeina Coffee Roasting Company. Located at 1416 W. Grove Street in downtown Boise, the establishment opened its doors on September 6, 2024, with a mission to honor the past while brewing the future.

The story begins with the rich 24-year history of Big City Coffee, a downtown institution known for legendary cinnamon rolls, hearty biscuits and gravy, and that unmistakable "homegrown feel" that made it a cornerstone of Boise's coffee culture. When Big City Coffee closed, Caffeina saw an opportunity not just to fill a space, but to preserve a legacy that meant so much to the community.

As part of the Caffeina Coffee Roasting Company family, Caffeina Kitchen brings together the best of both worlds. Founded by Lyndsey Hopkins in 2018, Caffeina has grown from a single location to four thriving spots across the Treasure Valley, each rooted in the belief that coffee shops should be more than just places to grab caffeine – they should be community gathering spaces where relationships flourish.

At Caffeina Kitchen, the team has carefully preserved many of Big City Coffee's most beloved menu items while introducing signature coffee creations, house-made pastries, and fresh takes on breakfast and lunch favorites. The establishment's commitment extends beyond great coffee and food; the business is passionate about supporting local causes, maintaining sustainable practices, and creating an environment where everyone feels like family.

Caffeina Kitchen continues serving the downtown Boise community with the same warmth and dedication that made this location special for nearly a quarter-century, while adding its own chapter to the ongoing story.
