If you're visiting Coeur d'Alene for the first time, do yourself a favor and make a stop at Backpocket Bakery. One of our local friends picked us up from the airport and immediately took us there, and now I totally understand why. We tried three pizzas -- the cheese, the bumblebee, and the sausage & mushroom -- and every single one was incredible. The kale Caesar was honestly one of the best salads I've had in a long time. There were four of us eating, and we still walked away with leftovers. But the real star? The sourdough crust. I will genuinely be dreaming about that crust when I'm back home in California. Perfectly chewy, flavorful, and unlike any pizza crust I've had before. If you come to Coeur d'Alene, this spot is an absolute must-try. read more

My wife introduced me to Back Pocket Bakery, and I was really impressed! I tried one of their pizza slices today, and it was absolutely fantastic. My all-time favorite is the Walnut Coffee Cake--so delicious. Plus, the service was wonderful. I highly recommend it! read more

Love the Nordic Rye bread! It is a must try ! Available on Fridays! It's a go to for me! read more

Pretty good food. Kind of pricy for what you get, but it definitely was worth trying.

High quality bakery with pizza, sandwiches, pastries, salads, and bagels. Normally eat gluten free, but had a regular bagel and it had that dreamy chewy texture with a crusty outside. Had with their house cream cheese and it's so much better than store bought. Husband had the orange chocolate scone which had that bright orange flavor and managed to be moist for a scone. Pizza was 4/5 per his report. 3 items was only $13 so it's fairly affordable as well. Lots of seating, although we came at noon and it was very full. Service was as expected for this type of place. Thanks!! read more

Great pizzas and sandwiches. I do wish they had a little more seating. But overall would recommend this little hidden gem.

Been here a few times and it is phenomenal. The best small local bakery in my opinion. The meatball sub is out of this world. The mortadella sandwich is amazing as well. Definitely opt for the kale caesar as a side, it's delicious. I bought a loaf of olive focaccia here and it was gone in hours. Their pizza is delicious. It's very quaint but family friendly. read more

BEST EVER PIZZA, and pastries. Service is always so fast and yes just long enough to make freshly baked goods. The place is just what you need on a bad day to make it better. Everything there is industrial and yet it feels so homey. read more

Probably the best pizza in town you've never heard of. My favorite is the bee. The ambiance isn't really suited for dining in or a date, but there are plenty of great locations to eat outside once you order. It's not a place where you go to get dined on. read more

I don't want to say that crust makes the loaf, but I totally agree with another reviewer that they have mastered a firm crust that you can actually use your bread knife to cut through. Beyond that, the flavors of their rye breads are incredible! We got two different ones, and they were both distinctly different in texture and density, yet made a wonderful sandwich base. We visited them at the Kootenai farmers market, and they had a line that stretched for 30 yards. I asked a nice lady in front of me what I should look for, and she told me what ever they had left lol! read more

While downtown I wanted a sandwich at a new place. I looked up and found Back Pocket Bakery. I couldn't find it at first but was surprised to see that it was right next to the bike shop that I frequent but had never noticed it. The place looks nice and homey, though devoid of plants which usually adds to homeyness. I was on the phone when I ordered but the kind server was very perceptive and interpreted my pointing and hand motions quite well. I ordered The Deli despite thinking $16 was too much for a sandwich. When the sandwich came to my table, I was quite surprised to see how hardy it was. It had a lot of ingredients, was big and I could only eat half. It's a perfect sandwich to share. It was delicious. The bread was oh so fresh and delicious perfectly complimenting the meat veggies and sauce inside. I'll definitely order it again. Finding the bathroom is a trip as the diner walks through a mini kitchen, not in use by the staff, before finding it. My biggest wish for this place is that they would offer a half size sandwich for when it's only you and you have only $10 in your pocket or looking for something on a budget. The server was very friendly and seemed happy to grab a to-go box for me. My son enjoyed the second half at home and wants to go there as well. A solid place to eat! I'll be back. read more

Back Pocket Bakery - Meatball sub - Bakeries Near Me - Coeur D'Alene, Idaho

I went there for lunch for the first time recently and the food was delicious! My aunt and grandmother came with me and my aunt and I shared the Meatball Sandwich and my grandmother had the Margarita Pizza. Both the pizza and the sandwich were incredible. We got our food very soon after we ordered it, and it was still warm, unlike at some restaurants. The service was good and the restaurant is good size, but not very big. I would come back here and I recommend going here. read more

I love this place. I can tell they use good ingredients in their bread because I never get a stomach ache after eating here. Their pizza is amazing, my favorite pizza in town. They have delicious pretzel bread that is always sold out too. If you come later in the day, don't expect them to have a full stock of bread, as they often run out quickly. The employees are always nice and quick with the orders too. read more

Extremely disappointed. Came here 45 minutes before closing and they were out of almost everything, They didn't even have fresh drip coffee. Cashier was unhappy and mean, didn't care. I get that these places don't want waste at the end of the day but that comes with the price of disappointing patrons. Perhaps make more and offer happy hour specials at the end of the day if you're left with extra. It also felt like the staff was trying to clean up early. ZERO food in sight. read more

What a great place for delicious bread, pizza, sandwiches, and pastries! We tried the birria grilled cheese sandwich, margherita pizza, the wheat berry salad (so filling), and the chocolate chip cookies (with flake sea salt)...all were fantastic! They have a few tables outside and some lining the perimeter inside. They seemed to be busy, but we got our food in a reasonable amount of time. We will definitely be back! read more

All I had was their chocolate chip cookie but I went back every day for one because they were so good.

The Bumblebee pizza is insane. I've gotten it multiple times and they do not miss. Hands down the best pizza I've had in CDA. No complaints about the staff or how fast food was brought out. The music is cool too, you can tell it's someone's playlist (in a good way) not some life sucking background music. read more

My friends and I picked up sandwiches (meatball for them and deli for myself) and they were delicious!! The bread was so fresh. My deli sandwich had the perfect ratio of condiments, meat, cheese and lettuce. I subbed turkey for the ham and it was thickly sliced and delicious. Loved the pickle on the side. Will definitely be back to try their bagels and pizza... and cookies! Everything looked amazing! read more

Everything is scratch made by hand and the quality shows in every product. I've tried almost everything! It's the only bread I eat - locally grown wheat and long fermentation make it healthy and digestible. The pizzas are stellar - current favorite is the veggie pizza with red sauce although the mushroom/house made sausage is a close second. Mortadella sandwich - nothing like it! Staff is friendly and on top of everything! Music is always epic. Love this place! read more

Back Pocket Bakery - Absolutely delicious! I love finding places like this off the beaten path!! - Bakeries Near Me - Coeur D'Alene, Idaho

The bread and pastries are always excellent and fresh! The only issues I've had were parking (not really under their control) and the fact that their employees never smile or have any enthusiasm (very much under their control). In fact, I would classify their treatment of customers as "Seattle Nice." read more

So far I've been twice and I think they have the best croissants in the whole world! If you can get one of their almond croissants you're in for a real treat! Their breads and wood fired pizzas look and smell amazing. read more

The Birria Grilled cheese was pretty good but the most delicious was the bumblebee sourdough pizza. The people inside were nice and gave good recommendations. Will be back for the pizza! read more

Great baked goods. Consistently above-average. Excellent service. Bread, bagels, pretzels, croissants, pizza, sandwiches and more. A+

Love the bread here! The turkey sandwich was my favorite. The pizza was very good as well with a chewy crust and lots of sauce. It was a little spicy with the hot honey on top. I'm not a huge pimento fan, but my husband liked the ham sandwich. read more

Really bland. I asked the cashier if she recommended their sandwiches or their pizza and she recommended their sandwiches. We got the birria grilled cheese and the turkey sandwich. Extremely expensive $33 for two small sandwiches. You do get a bag of kettle chips and 1 homemade pickle. I felt that the sandwiches were extremely boring and bland. I expected it to be delicious based on the other reviews and the amount of people ordering but unfortunately I was disappointed. The staff were not very friendly and not a single smile. read more
