Several Boise-area restaurants are making major changes in 2025. Cinnaholic in Meridian, known for its vegan cinnamon rolls, announced it was closing in March, ending its run as the chain's only Idaho location. The Turn, a golf-themed bar inside Sockeye Alehouse, has shut down so the main restaurant can focus on a new menu and refreshed vibe. Nara Ramen's original Boise site is now Nara Teriyaki and Wok, serving teriyaki and Chinese food instead of ramen.
Lemon Tree Co. also closed its East Boise sandwich counter with The STIL due to staffing troubles, while Ramen Sho's Meridian shop and Duck Donuts have both closed their doors.
