‘Wow, this one hits!': Here's what's coming to a former Boise coffee shop
A former downtown Boise coffee shop is on track to be revived as yet another drink destination. But this one will have roots in Japanese tea culture. And, mmm, exotic flavors of soft serve. Urban Matcha plans to open next year in the former Caffé D’arte space at 860 W. Broad St. in the BoDo district. A franchise location, Urban Matcha will be operated by longtime Boise restaurant owner Peter Qiu, who has served happy customers at Panda Garden , 2801 W. Overland Road, for more than two decades. Urban Matcha is a small but growing brand based in San Francisco, Qiu said. There are five locations — in Nevada, California and Arizona — with four of them launched this year. The Boise store is one of four planned for future openings, he said. Qiu is hoping to unveil the downtown Boise shop in March. “We create desserts utilizing matcha directly from Japan and more,” he added. Urban Matcha’s menu offers a variety of matcha and hojicha teas and lattes — both hot and cold — along with floats paired with soft serve. There also are traditional hot coffees (including Vietnamese-style), plus iced drinks made with yuzu, an Asian citrus

When will it start cooling down in Boise? Rain, wind & mountain snow in forecast
It’s finally time to finally unpack those sweaters, Boise. Rain is on the way to cool down the City of Trees, according to the National Weather Service. There’s even a slight chance that the first snowflakes of the year will fall, according to Korri Anderson, a Boise meteorologist with the National Weather Service. “It definitely won’t be 65 and sunny anymore,” Anderson told the Idaho Statesman via phone call. Here’s what’s in the forecast ahead: When will temperatures cool down in Boise? According to the National Weather Service’s most recent Idaho state forecast discussion , “dry and warm” weather is expected to lead up to the weekend. “A ridge of high pressure will build over the West this week,” the National Weather Service said in a Tuesday, Nov. 10, post on X. “This will bring unseasonably warm temperatures, with some valley locations expected to approach daily record highs on Wednesday and Friday.” Recently, high temperatures have been about 20 degrees above what’s standard in Boise, according to Anderson. Temperatures were expected to rise to near-record highs on Thursday, Nov. 12, and Friday, Nov. 13. According to Anderson, the maximum temperature record for Nov. 12 — 70 degrees — was set

A closure is coming to Boise's high-profile ‘restaurant row.' This will open next
An Italian-influenced eatery will soon bid farewell to downtown Boise’s “restaurant row” on 8th Street. But a Meridian brewery is preparing to raise a pint and say hello. Rustica will close at the end of the year at 211 N. 8th St., owner Dan Watts said. Its replacement? Loose Screw Beer Co. , which plans to open a taproom in the space in early 2027, according to a press release. Loose Screw’s brewery in downtown Meridian will continue operating at 105 E. Carlton Ave. The new Boise location will pour beer brewed in Meridian, the release says. Opened in June 2024, Rustica took over a space formerly occupied by restaurant and bar Juniper for a decade. Watts, who owns two other successful downtown businesses — Saint Lawrence Gridiron , a restaurant, and Suite 104 , a cocktail bar — said Rustica has been a challenge. Shuttering it will allow more time for the other concepts. “We knew that Rustica was going to be a big stretch to work in the beginning,” he said, “but we wanted to try it, anyway, because we love the space and we love downtown. It’s proven to be a lot more work than the other

Boise State moves up in College Football Playoff rankings. See the top 25 here
The College Football Playoff committee released its second set of rankings on Tuesday night, and Boise State remains in the driver’s seat among Group of Six teams vying for a spot in the 12-team playoff. The committee ranked Boise State. No. 24, a one spot rise from last week’s initial ranking of No. 25. The move comes after Boise State produced a 64-38 victory at Colorado State over the weekend with backup quarterback Max Cutforth starting under center. With just under four weeks until the final rankings are revealed, the Broncos currently sit at No. 12 in the bracket and would face No. 5 Notre Dame if the season ended today. The first round of the playoffs is played on-campus, meaning a trip to South Bend, Indiana, could be in the Broncos’ future. Boise State played at Notre Dame in 2025, losing 28-7 to the Fighting Irish. Boise State is included in the 12-team bracket because the highest-ranked team from a Group of Six conference is guaranteed an automatic berth into the playoffs. The G6 conferences are the Mountain West, American, Conference USA, Sun Belt, Mid-American, and Pac-12, the latter of which Boise State competes in. No other G6 team
