    Great breakfast, scones and coffee! Haven't tried their sandwiches yet, but the friends that told us about this cafe...rave how good their sandwiches are. They have Cabin Creek Coffee Roaster's coffee for sale also Friendly and helpful staff. Clean and nice cafe. Highly recommend you give them a try if you're passing through Potlatch

    What a cozy find right on Hwy 95! Immediately before one turns to the city of Potlatch, this little cafe is a necessary stop! I pulled in and opened the doors to a quaint spot which was serving breakfast at the time I arrived. There were so many options of baked goods from which to choose (which was why I stopped), and I took a few "day old" scones and coffee cake! They didn't taste stale, but rather tasted like they were made that day! Looked like a bunch of "regulars" were dining, but the service was great and I loved the Bible verse written on the refrigerator door. Please stop by this establishment, even if it's for a loaf of bread or a baked good! You won't regret it!

    Good little stop. Nice flavor coffee. Clean and nicely decorated inside. Variety of baked good options in a case. Worth making a stop on your way through. Seems the workers care about what they are doing.

    What a great location. Beautiful booths, great tables. Staff was very friendly. Food was amazing. Especially the baked goods Cherry Bars, Strawberry Rhubarb pie, giant Cinnamon Rolls! Not a chain. Stop by and enjoy.

    The special was a bbq beef sandwich - my friend really enjoyed hers. I got a create your own sandwich on freshly baked bread that was great. Ample parking, friendly staff, very quick service, cute decor. Although everything was tasty, my friend and I enjoyed our baked scones and coffee the most! Great for a quick road stop snack while we continued on our way.

    No little half & half cups here!

    You should have seen my guy's happy face when we walked in here, and he saw the family running the place in Mennonite dress. If you haven't dined at a place where these gentle folk own you will be in for a treat. Everything is farm fresh, and you will never find any bread products they didn't make. We had a bit of a drive to get home pulling a trailer, so we kind of took it easy this time. But that didn't mean our meals weren't filling. His breakfast sandwich had nice thick cuts of pit ham, and after a few splashes of tabasco he was in his happy place. I'm a biscuits and gravy girl, and their gravy was great, and the biscuits were so light with a nice sweetness to them. And I ordered a huckleberry scone that wound up in a box to take home because we were full. It made a delicious nosh for me this morning!

    Such a gem! Everything was fresh and homemade, excellent service and atmosphere and the cinnamon roll was divine! The food was made to order and came out as it was ready! Would highly recommend stopping here when passing through!

    My boyfriend and I made a pit stop here on our drive down to Moscow from Coeur D' Alene. You'll find delicious coffee, homemade baked goods (gluten free options) and breads. The staff was very friendly, there is a lovely interior and freshly made bouquets on the tables. I highly recommend everyone support this local business! We look forward to coming back our next trip.

    First off, the place is THE PLACE to be in Deary Idaho. The ambiance is amazing, the food was great…read moreBUT the prices on every thing from food to good in the gift store are pretty high. The great news is the source as much as they can from local gowers and producers so believe this is a huge reason prices are high. I can a Cobb sale that was great. I lived the addition of cubed beets and their hiuse dressing was soooo good. My husband had the steak sandwich which he said was very good. It was pretty small and didn't come with anything else on the plate which made the sandwich look even tinier. I ordered the raspberry cheesecake which was the BEST cheesecake I have ever had. If I disnt have manners I would have picked up my plate and licked the platter clean. The quilts hanging throughout the place are stunning. They are for sale as well but again, extremely high priced. If yiu are in the area make sure to stop by. The lune gies quickly and they get their food out very quickly. Sorry for the typos...I would have to erase the entire thing to make corrections my fat fingers made:/​​

    Delicious food, clean, and friendly staff sums this place up. It's a bit of a drive from Spokane,…read morebut oh so worth it. The food here is wonderful. The turkey focaccia was a taste delight, stuffed with meat and fresh greens and avocado. The bread had a nice cheese lace baked into the crust as well, which was just extra credit on an already 5/5 sandwich. Your choice of about 5 types of chips in a bag come with the sammy. I also pulled the trigger on a slice of huckleberry pie. How ever you ever imagined the best huckleberry pie, this is it. It was just outstanding. All of the employees were friendly and helpful. They also had someone cleaning all the time, which was nice to see. They do breakfast, salads, and brick oven pizza as well as sandwiches. I was too late to see any breakfast dishes, but did see several salads and pizzas, and they looked great. Water is at a self service bar, otherwise they'll bring foo foo coffee, or other drinks to the table or give it to you at ordering time. This is really an outstanding stop and worth the drive, especially if looking for a nice day trip to spend with your loved ones.
