Healthy Vegan, what more could you want - Edit
After a long day of driving I arrived in Spokane for the first time, hungry and needing healthy food. Saw Boots on Happy Cow and was once again thankful for the App. I didn't take a photo of their case (but others have), it was great to have plenty of options. Both that I chose were tasty and filling. I had the Curried Roasted carrots and cauliflower and a potato and tofu dish.
Read moreStaff was kind and patiently explained/answered my questions. Seating was open and shared with several other establishments. Location seemed to be on a great little street downtown and the Main Market Co-op is right across the street.
Found myself in Spokane again and went back to Boots, and would add their blackened tofu with yams to the list of great options.

The best biscuits - Edit
Stopped here when we were in town for a wedding, and I'm so happy we did. We got a few sides and an order of biscuits and gravy. Everything was great, but the biscuits and gravy were a real highlight. The chef even brought us a free buttered biscuit to try when we said how much we liked them! I liked the space, too--seemed to have a nice community vibe. Definitely worth checking out!

Great for to go food - Edit
Stopped here for some food while on a road trip. It was a great place to pick up some food to go. I got some potato salad, noodle dishes and a cookie and felt like it was a pretty decent amount of food for the price. The food itself was delicious and I would definitely go back. The space itself looked pretty cool and there was some outdoor seating in case you have a dog.

Food is so good! - Edit
I stopped in on my way through Spokane on a long road trip, and it was well worth the drive into the city! Street parking was easy, and the food was amazing! I couldn’t pick just one thing, so I got a trio of savory dishes, plus two different savory “cakes” that came with sauces. Everything reheated well and I have been enjoying the food for the past few days. I highly recommend the breakfast dish (I don’t remember what it was called, but it has potatoes, veggies, and tofu), sweet potato dish, and mac n cheese. The savory corn cake and potato veggie cake were super flavorful. I didn’t get any desserts but they all looked yummy. The atmosphere was casual and open, and I appreciated the queer-friendly vibe!

Awesome place!!’ - Edit
Everything is both vegan (no dairy milk for coffee anymore 😁) and gluten free (for those who are looking for that). I had a lemon raspberry cinnamon roll (sooooo delicious) and three sides which are all unique and VERY tasty. The sides were supposed to be to go but they were ALL so good that I ate part of each (cheesy brussel sprouts and kale, a tofu scramble and spicy tofu and squash). I read so many good things about the waffle that I ordered a half order and I was so tasty with the chai butter and maple syrup, you’d never know it was gluten free!!! The staff was incredibly sweet and helpful (shoutout to Alison who puts her heart and soul into Boots and its customers). I wish I lived here- I’d be a regular ♥️♥️♥️.

Falls flat on taste - Edit
I've been here 6 times and I just can't get into the flavors of their savory foods. The macaroni and cheese tastes nothing like traditional mac-n-cheese. The potato salad had a weird after taste. The pineapple rice had 1 miniscule pineapple chunk in the entire portion. I have not had their sweets so can't comment on that. I'll stick to the Co-op salad bar across the street next time I'm here.

I had an amazing pumpkin waffle with chai butter! (seasonal option I’m sure). Chatted with one of the owners for a bit who was so kind. They share a cool communal space with a coffee shop, pizza spot, and brewery. Highly recommend checking it out!!

Unique, 90's vegan spot - Edit
This place seems to specialize in the kind of food people who were vegan in the 90's talk about. The food just has that "natural foods store in Boulder, CO cold bar" vibe — like "Wild Oats" before it became "Whole Foods."
Read moreThere are plenty of options for savory and sweet treats. Many gluten free and all vegan. The unique thing about this spot is that everything is cold in a deli case and gets heated up by microwave...it's like eating leftovers, I guess. So, without a doubt, that means you'll sometimes get food that should be hotter, but is still cold in the middle or served lukewarm. Which was my experience. Not great but...the saving grace is that the food is quite good. I got the brussel sprouts, Amy's breakfast — a tofu scramble sort of thing that I wish was served hot(ter), and a sausage hash (pretty sure this was made with TVP). The sausage hash and Brussels were excellent.
My mom ordered the black bean soup too. We heard the staff say that was heated up from frozen. She ate one spoonful and gave up. It was cold. When I asked if she wanted to take it home, she declined.
Also tasted my partner's pumpkin waffle and my mom's buckwheat pancake. They were both fantastic and the chai butter was amazing. Highly recommend getting those if you want something dependably good, made fresh, and served at the right temp!

All Plant Based Savory & Sweet - Edit
I was walking in downtown Spokane and decided to try Boot’s Bakery in its new location inside the Saranac Commons (just east of the Saranac restaurant). There was no signage for Boots on the street so I first wandered into the Saranac restaurant by mistake, but now I know to pass that restaurant and look for a small sign that says “Saranac Commons”.
Read moreInside is a charming food court with lots of table seating for large and small groups. Boots is 100% plant based and has a wide variety of side dishes, salads, entrees, bakery items (cookies, cinnamon rolls, cakes etc).
I enjoy two roasted vegetable side dishes that made a perfect amount for lunch (I’m a small woman). They heated them so I could enjoy them hot. I also had a pecan roll for dessert that I planned to take home but ended up eating most it there because it was so good! My lunch of two side dishes and pecan roll came to $20 before tip.
Note that coffee drinks are available from another vender in the food court.
This is definitely a favorite vegan food stop for me when I’m in Spokane.
Pros: Vintage cafe atmosphere , Great selection of nutritious food , Delicious baked goods
Cons: Street parking sometimes full

Puts the deli in delicious - Edit
Make sure you set your expectations before coming here. With the exception of the absolutely perfect pumpkin waffles, the food isn't made to order, and that's okay! There's a wide variety of options that are constantly changing (with a few stand-by exceptions). There's a lot of breakfast foods, but there are more time-agnostic dishes like rice and pasta.
Read moreThe decor is eclectic and fun (the tale of two Samuels is my favorite booth), and the staff are very friendly and helpful!
Boots is a weekly staple for my wife and I.
