And the award for the nuttiest shop in Idaho goes to…City Peanut Shop! Yes, there’s an entire shop dedicated to fresh-roasted peanuts in our state, and it’s a must when you’re craving a salty snack. The shop may be physically small, but it’s stuffed to the gills with all types of goodies. From salty to sweet and everything in between, you won’t be able to resist taking home some goodies from this unique spot.
Located in the heart of downtown Boise, City Peanut Shop is a hidden gem that's about to become your go-to snack spot. The shop specializes in flavored, fresh-roasted peanuts, but you'll find all sorts of goodies waiting to be tried!
City Peanut Shop is truly one-of-a-kind. The store itself is small, but it's always loaded with a myriad of tasty snacks. Brittles, flavored corns, fresh-ground nut butter, confections - come prepared to try one of everything.
However, it's the small-batch, hand-crafted artisan peanuts that have solidified City Peanut Shop as a Boise favorite. These are far from your typical store-bought peanuts, especially with the wide selection of incredible flavors to choose from.
Sweet, savory, spicy - pick your poison. A few of the most popular peanut flavors include BBQ, Thai Chili, Porter (roasted with craft Porter beer and dark malt), and Idaho Smoke Jumper (tabasco, hickory smoke, and spices.)
Don't forget to check out the shop's extensive selection of brittles. They boast not only peanut brittle, but cashew, pecan, and pistachio brittle, as well. Crunchy and sweet, they pair perfectly with a local Idaho beer!
If you're looking for a unique gift for that peanut loving Idahoan in your life, City Peanut Shop is the perfect choice. Not only do they offer a variety of gift tins and boxes, but the store also has a small but varied selection of Idaho-themed merch including stickers, mugs, flasks, bags, bottle openers, hats, and more.
When exploring the City of Trees, a stop at this quirky little peanut shop is a must. And if you can't stop by in-person, you can always make a purchase through their online store!
