A Norwegian Potato Flatbread Shop Just Landed on 11th Street
Loving Lefse has opened a downtown Boise storefront at 110 N. 11th St., serving traditional Norwegian lefse with sweet and savory fillings alongside a specialty coffee menu.
BOISE, ID—A family-owned shop specializing in Norwegian lefse has opened its first brick-and-mortar location in downtown Boise, giving the city a genuinely unusual breakfast and lunch option.
Loving Lefse is now open at 110 N. 11th St., where the menu centers on lefse—a traditional Scandinavian potato flatbread—folded around both sweet and savory fillings. According to @treasurevalley_treatsandeats, standouts include an Italian Beef Lefse and a Breakfast Lefse, alongside a specialty coffee menu built around house-made syrups, cold foam, and seasonal drinks. The salted caramel latte gets a specific nod.
The family behind the shop has been making lefse since childhood, which tracks with a product that tends to live or die by institutional knowledge passed down in a kitchen rather than sourced from a manual.
For anyone unfamiliar with lefse: think soft, slightly chewy flatbread with more personality than a tortilla and a better origin story. Worth a detour on your next walk through the north end of downtown.
