Wow, just WOW! Thank you - we’re beyond humbled 😭♥️🙏🏻

Tear into a warm, extra-large Bavarian pretzel with curry ketchup on the side at this riverside Idaho German spot, then save room for a dessert called hot love.

And just like that, summer is officially over, with today’s autumnal equinox ringing in our beautiful fall 🍂

And what a summer it has been! Our busiest ever at Tante Emma ♥️

Thank you for all the love and happy vibes, for the impromptu guest collaborations on German Biergarten songs, and for all the kind words of encouragement — especially in moments when things got a little crazy.

And a little reminder as we look back on those incredibly busy summer days: this is a small town, full of small businesses — and in our case, an even smaller kitchen. Our kitchen is run by two cooks max., banging out hundreds of fresh, homemade dishes, because there simply isn’t room for more. Kindness and patience during those sometimes extremely busy summer months go such a long way up here 🫶🏻

Now, as the season begins to slow down and our amazing team gets to catch its breath, we can’t think of a better way to relax, hang out, and welcome the season of coziness than with a cup of our homemade hot cocoa.

Rich, creamy, cozy, and made from scratch at Tante Emma ♥️

Hot cocoa season has officially begun 🥰☕️🍂

The Tante Emma Boise remodel is moving right along with some demolition therapy 💪

Bit by bit, the old space is disappearing… and the new Tante Emma is starting to take shape ♥️

Looking forward to meeting you! 🥨

Thank you, Michael Deeds @ Idaho Statesman 😍 This feels somewhat surreal! ✨

It will be the latest restaurant with potential to revitalize surrendered food-and-drink destinations in downtown Boise’s BoDo district.

Well… apparently we’ve got some competition 🫎😂

Tante Emma is coming to Boise and people are talking — just not quite as much as they’re talking about the moose touring Downtown.

Fair enough. She got there first 😍

But seriously: we are absolutely overwhelmed by all the love, support, excitement, and wonderful feedback about Tante Emma coming to Boise. You guys have made us smile A LOT these past few days!

From the bottom of our little German hearts: THANK YOU!!!! 🇩🇪❤️ We cannot wait to take you along for this adventure

And a little Garden Valley housekeeping while we have your attention:
starting tomorrow, August 17th, Tante Emma Garden Valley will be closed Monday through Wednesday. We’ll be back serving you Thursday through Sunday
