The staff is lively and friendly - no surprise - and service is FAST. My espresso was prepped & handed to me before I even clicked on the "Tip Amount" on the card reader -- if on purpose, brilliant, if not, certainly made it an easy decision to tip generously. The baked goods perched in window at the front counter - between croissants, banana bread, tarts, cheesecakes,... - are beautifully crafted and tempt even the LEAST sweet tooth's of us. They have an EXTENSIVE list of crepes (both savory and sweet options) and sandwiches, so if you come for a grind session, you have plenty of (seemingly tasty) food options to choose from. Prices...$2.75 for a double espresso is a deal, especially at a well-staffed / newly(?) renovated / luxury coffee establishment such as this. They really could raise their price two-fold and I'd still be happy (at least coming from Californian like myself). My espresso was served hot but not burned, with low acid beans which contained an obvious LACK of mycotoxins & mold (at least based on my amateur judgement; I am a good judge, though, as I am extremely sensitive with coffee beans). So with that said, if you are sensitive and need high quality coffee beans, do what I do and make Bernklau your morning coffee spot if you are staying or live in the area. A+ all around. Kudos to the owner/manager and kudos to the staff.

Last time I only picked up something for myself. This was a first ordering for a 4 of us. Everyone went with a 12" so we had lunch for next day. Prices are pretty fair for a non-franchise business. Their inside has booths available to eat at if you want. Looks like they have photos of their local towns folks all over the walls. Parking can be scarce but they do share with the pharmacy and a liquor store. I had their Hawaiian sub as is. Even for a 6" its very fulfilling. Two others got the spicey Italian. Then one got the Ruben.

When we first moved to this area a few years ago, Joe's was our go to after a day swimming and…read morecatching sun out on City Beach. It's roughly walking distance from the beach (maybe a brisk quarter mile or so from the sand), and is THE best kept secret in downtown Sandpoint. This place defines "hole in the wall" restaurant, and even if you're on foot, if you blink at the wrong moment, you'd likely miss it. Don't do that. This place is excellent. I've never been to Philadelphia, so I can't say with any accuracy or certainty how Joe's sandwiches hold up to the real deals, but I will say that the sandwiches and their burgers are indeed the Real Deal. Their sandwiches come in 8" and 12" lengths and burgers from 1-2 quarter pound patties. They have a fairly standard soda fountain equipped with Pepsi product, a few bottled beverages, and a mindblowing milk shake menu. A few years ago they even offered a buffalo sauce flavored milk shake. Full stop. Anyway, I can attest that their huckleberry shake and Hershey's chocolate malt are out of this world awesome. My wife and I went here for date night last night, our first time in in quite some time. Service was very friendly and attentive, and everything was made to order. Whereas I've usually gone for the Philly cheese steak or French dip, this time I did the bacon burger with pepper jack (they have a good variety of cheese available, I should add) and left with zero regrets. My wife did the standard cheeseburger with everything and we split a side of onion rings which were ambrosial (delicious, amazing, what have you). Parking can be a little iffy, but there are some spots on the street right out front. Worst case scenario, they're a very short walking distance from the big (free) public parking lot on Church street, which is where I parked. You might even need the walk if you're eating there. Inside seating is limited, but clean and comfortable. The AC wasn't the greatest, and I can't imagine the heat from the kitchen does the interior temps any favors. My wife and I rarely if ever get a date night anymore, so the whole thing was a great treat, and something I'd gladly do again anytime. Highly, highly recommended.

My wife and I stopped by here yesterday for a late breakfast in which I ordered the B&G plate with a side of 2 over-medium eggs. My wife ordered the Denver omellet. They didn't disappoint. The biscuits were a little dry and crumbly but the gravy made up for it. Good texture and flavor but don't forget to add a little hot sauce. My wife enjoyed her Denver. I tried it and it was solid. BTW, a ton of food. Get a to-go box even though I'm a fat guy in which I powered through mine. For me, this place is right up my alley. No frills. Just a old timey hole in a wall place that serves the comfort foods that I like. Service is great, place appears to be clean, and didn't upset my stomach after eating there. 4.5 stars out of 5. Highly recommend for like-minded individuals like myself! Cheers!

They allowed dogs and were very friendly and also had very pleasant outside seating right on the marina. My husband ordered a Cobb salad and added turkey and I got the soup (lemon chicken orzo) and side salad and we got two Americanos. The food was pretty good. Tasted fresh but we were very disappointed in the portion sizes. My husband's $18 salad was so tiny and it came with two rolled up slices of deli turkey and I dont even know how much the add on was for turkey. My salad was tiny as well as a tiny tea cup of soup. Total was $48 for very small portions. I wouldn't recommend for that reason alone but worth the 4 star rating if you are looking for good food that is light and refreshing that you don't mind paying extra for though.
