    This is definitely a Spokane must go spot! So much here to love that it's hard to boil it down to a short review. Suffice it to say that in all our experiences here, we've never been disappointed. Coffee is always fresh and staff is super friendly. Sticky buns and biscuits are house made. Sticky buns are hard to get right, often they're too sweet, too chewy, too dry, or otherwise deficient. The sticky buns here are as close to perfect as they get. Biscuits are fabulous, too. Not your traditional buttermilk biscuits more like a cornbread texture, truly unique especially when served with their house made strawberry jam! Yum. Spinach bacon omelette and meat lovers scramble were the entrees. Both were more food than we could handle in one sitting. Great flavor combinations and reasonably priced, too!

    This place is really cute and is located right on the runway. However, as it relates to the food, it is just average and the prices are a little steep. The waitress was nice, but our water glasses stayed empty eventhough the lobby wasn't busy. I thought it was a little odd this place is filled with military images and planes, but they do not offer a military discount.

    For our tastes this is a 5 star place. We have been coming here for decades, and it would be more if we lived closer. It's so neat right on the Felts Fld airstrip. They hire the best servers! Always friendly and very helpful, you never feel like you aren't important to them. Personally, I love the option for a half order, and even the half is way enough for a normal appetite. It's regular diner food, but the short order cooks are some of the best our area has to offer. Every aspect of this cute place is top notch.

    Definitely a fun little experience. Fun atmosphere for kids and adults alike! Can watch planes take off and land while you eat and visit. Food was a standard diner fare, nothing exceptional, but good. Worth at least one visit.

    Cup! of house made chili
    Conni M.

    Huge menu... one for breakfast, one for lunch. They were slammed with just two servers trying to take care of a full house. They said they were short staffed but they did great anyway. They did have a busser so that helped. Two cooks in the kitchen were cranking the food out fast. Since we hadn't been here before we ordered pretty conservatively- cheese omelet with crispy hash browns and a biscuit for my husband and a cup of chili for me. The cook obviously read the request on the ticket because the hash browns *were* crispy! Yum! The chili is house made and mild but good. Topped with a sprinkle of shredded cheese and some chopped onions. I added Cholula hot sauce and a bit of sour cream so it was very tasty. It was fun to try it and it kind of felt like a diner experience.

    It might as well have been a bowl of water...

    8/1/2020. Chili review. Sadly, this will be a very easy review to write. The one positive was that it was definitely house made. Beyond that, there was no flavor what...so...ever. None. The beans; the beef; the broth; the fillers; heck, even the onions and cheese on top were completely indiscernible. Fer crap sake, I splashed a ton of available Cholula hot sauce into it, and even the heat was lost in a vacuum of nothing. And no, I have not lost my sense of taste due to the progressive's favorite virus. The only thing I can think of is that this place caters (mostly) to super-super seniors, and they have magically concocted a recipe for the blandest chili in our hemisphere. Heck, I was expecting it to be from a FSA/Sysco can, and even that would have been better than the bowl of library paste I just experienced. What a totally unexpected wow... My previous review for their other menu items stands firm. They are way better than this chili...

    I've been here many times and no matter what I order the food is always consistent and good the service is fantastic and I love the view of the airplanes around me I highly recommend this place you got to try it out

    California Benedict
    Julie P.

    I flew into Felts Field for work and ate here for breakfast! It has super cool airplane themed ambiance. I am a bit of an airplane nerd so I really enjoyed it. In addition, to watching all the fun general aviation aircraft takeoff and land. (don't worry I wasn't judging their landings..) I normally promptly takeoff my epaulets when I go into a restaurant to avoid the stares, but everyone here was nice since it was located at the airport. I ordered the California Benedict with hashbrowns and a coffee that never went empty. Just as soon as I would get about half way through my cup they would refill it :-) The hollandaise sauce on the eggs benedict was excellent and full of flavor. The service staff was friendly and did a great job despite the business of the restaurant. I would recommend checking this place out!

    Hatch - Iced chai with oat milk

    Hatch Beaker + Burr -- Spokane, WA…read more Midweek in Spokane and I was not expecting to walk into what felt like a warm hug disguised as a café. Wednesday morning. Doors open. Immediate vibe shift. Warm. Vibrant. Eclectic mix of humans scattered throughout -- laptops open, friends mid-laugh, someone clearly pretending to work. The energy felt alive without being chaotic. That's a sweet spot. The woman who served us? Absolute pro. Friendly with everyone. The kind of person who makes you feel like a regular on your first visit. Easy to talk to. Zero rush. Hospitality done right. We grabbed a solid-sized table for the group while one of the crew made a pastry run. Strong team execution. Now for the order: Iced latte. Almond milk. Honey. My control beverage. My combine drill. It was exactly what I expected -- smooth, balanced, no drama. And somehow... it tasted better because of the room. Setting matters. Coffee absorbs vibes. That's science.* (*Not verified.) This is one of those places you can: * Meet friends for breakfast * Post up and "work" for 4 hours * Or grab a quick coffee before pretending you're not late Would I come back? Absolutely. For the coffee, yes. For the vibes? Immediately. If you're visiting Spokane, this is a must-stop. No overthinking required. Rating 4.3 / 5 Açaí Berries Breakdown * Taste: 4.2/5 * Vibes: 4.7/5 * Service: 5/5 * Sit-All-Day Potential: High Current Status: Spokane Approved Lesson Learned: Coffee tastes better when the room feels right.

Everything tasted high-quality and made with so much care. You can really tell this place is special not just because of the food, but the whole experience. The staff were amazing, super friendly, and it even looked like they handle catering, which is such a cool bonus. I also love that it's named after the owner's granddaughter, which makes it feel even more personal and meaningful If you're into scratch-made pastries, artisanal breads, and unique brunch spots, this is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back!

    Rocket Bakery - Lemon tart.... Soo good!!

I quickly did some research and found Rocket Bakery was just 5 mins away from where we were. We pulled into the tiny parking and luckily there was 1 spot left. When we walked in, it was more of a coffee shop than a bakery I had envisioned. However, they had a small area of baked goods and a glass window of cakes/pie and ready-made food. I didn't recall being greeted either. Vibe was kinda off, not the cool vibing coffee shop feel. After looking at everything, the only pie option they had was a Rhubarb Custard, which I went ahead and ordered a slice. I also got a slice of the Blueberry Cheesecake Tart, and a berry scone. My friend got a slice of the Lemon Tart and a chocolate chip cookie. The young employee helping us was really nice, but I think she felt overwhelmed by the line of people started to form. Towards the end of putting our order together, another employee came to help. I also felt we were kinda rushed out of there. So much so, that after we were handed our food, out the door, and almost to the car-- an employee came running out with a box in her hand. She forgot to give us one of our slices. The berry scone was pretty good. It was dense, moist, and cooked perfectly. I was excited to try the rhubarb custard pie, but unfortunately it fell short for me. The rhubarb wasn't tart at all, giving it a real subtle taste. Possibly could have used too much sugar to cut the tartness. The custard and crust part wasn't bad. I could taste the nutmeg and cinnamon and a hint of vanilla. The blueberry cheesecake tart had great flavor. It wasn't too cheesy nor sugary. Preferably, I wished it had a bit more blueberry topping. The crust was interesting--it was good and I think it had nuts, oatmeal, and coconut mixed into it. My friend said his lemon tart was really good but that the winner was the chocolate chip cookie. He said it was on the softer side and filled with mini sweet chocolate chips that he really enjoyed. For now, I'll continue my quest in search of yummy pies in CDA and Spokane.

I got a raspberry mocha, which is a baseline drink for me that I get at all new cafes. It was delicious! The coffee shot was prefect and it was sweet enough for me. Also got the berry scone, which has lemon frosting on it. DIVINE! I don't think I could try anything else; I'd want this scone every time I stop by. The tables are assorted in size but I never saw an employee in that area to wipe them down. It also was crazy warm in there. Even after taking my coat off I couldn't stay long in the heat. The employees were very nice and conversational. You can see why it's been around for so long.
