A Blue Collar Guide to Boise

This is our neighborhood. These are the spots we walk to, talk about, and keep coming back to.


Everything in this guide sits just steps from our shop. Start with a handcrafted drink at Blue Collar Coffee, then head out and explore Boise the local way. Markets, trails, art, and community, all right around the corner.


  1. Start your morning at Blue Collar Coffee

In Boise, we’re your neighborhood coffee spot. Grab your handcrafted drink and begin exploring the historic downtown, from murals to markets and everything in between. 

  1. Our Favorite Farmers Market

Boise Farmers Market: A bustling Saturday staple focused on local, sustainable vendors and a community-first vibe. 


Boise Flea Market: Not exactly a farmers market but too good to leave out. Held on the 2nd Sunday of the month (April-October), this vintage and handmade market is always a hit.

Freak Alley Gallery: Iconic open-air alley covered with extraordinary murals and street art. .


Boise Art Museum: Tons of exhibits, kid-friendly events and weekday programs.


Alive After Five (setup hours): Though technically an evening event, setup and infectious energy start early in Downtown.
