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.

It’s nice to be able to pick and chose a few sides to make up a full meal. And the pumpkin waffle was so indulgent while feeling a bit healthy too!

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.

Great place for breakfast - Edit
I was initially not a huge fan when we first moved to the area, but recently we gave it another shot at a friend's recommendation and have been going here almost every weekend since! You have to be on board with choosing your savory food options from a display case and then having it microwaved for you. When I first went, I was expecting the food to be made to order, but now keeping in mind it's deli style and meant to be heated from cold, I think the choices are great! There is always a lot to choose from, and it changes from day to day but I always have a hard time picking just a couple. My very favorite part of eating at Boot's, though, is their pumpkin waffles. These ARE made to order and come out hot, fresh, and topped with incredible cinnamon butter with a side of maple syrup. I can't get enough of these waffles. They are generously sized so be prepared! The first time I got one all to myself I could barely finish it so highly recommend splitting one if you are getting other sides too.

Neat place - Edit
It's vegan except they offer cow milk for coffee for some reason. Gluten free. They really need to address the bottleneck that happens when busy. In 2 visits I saw people leave because of the wait. Also they use a microwave in case you care.

Pros: Pre made food inside a case, You pick the items you want, pay per scoop, They heat it up.

Besides one cows milk for coffee Boots is completely vegan. I’ve gone in for their pumpkin pancakes multiple times and I love trying all the ready to eat salads and goodies they have in the display case. They also make my oat milk hot chocolate “child temp” because I’m a baby with heat!
