The shop has these large sliding doors that open the area to the outside, so it feels like the entire place is under a covered patio. There is plenty of seating both inside and outside. I love their variety of food, which includes sandwiches, pastries, and a great variety of macarons. If you love lattes with flavor, they have a wonderful variety of flavors as well. My go to was the latte with mocha and hazelnut flavor. Sandwiches were delightful too. They can serve it to you warm or cold. Their ceramic mugs, plates, and silverware were super cute. Nice place to enjoy a cup of good coffee and snacks.

11.3.25: First time in at this location after our morning Costco trip. I've been wanting to visit…read moreand was finally craving something super sweet as Crumbl is known for its sugary treats. When we walked in, we were not greeted nor acknowledged or spoken to the entire time we were there until our name was called out when our order was ready. Customer service was non-existent. Ambiance-wise, there were a few people standing around waiting for their orders but it didn't seem too busy. There is a drive-thru as well. I quickly scanned around for an "order here" sign and noticed they had a couple of ordering kiosks in the corner. Placing our order was easy and self explanatory and so was the payment process. I wanted to try the Mile High Lemon Pie in a large but they only had it as a mini. So I ordered a trio of minis: lemon, chocolate tart cookie, and chocolate fudge brownie. Then we also got a quad of large cookies: Halloween confetti milkshake cookie, semi-sweet chocolate chunk, and Martha Stewart chocolate chip cookie thins x2. The mini lemon pie was delish--fluffy, light, and creamy. Crust was crust and had a good cook. I enjoyed it vs some places that try and get fancy by adding all kinds of things to the crust, for example I see coconut a lot in crusts nowadays. I'm not a fan. I so wished it was in a large and believed they were in the process of making them for the day ahead. The chocolate tart was pretty good--smooth, silky, and chocolatey with a soft chocolate cookie crust. The chocolate fudge brownie was better than I expected. It was nice and chewy with a chocolate frosting. Now if you want something high up there on the sweet scale then the Halloween confetti milkshake cookie is your pick. It's basically like a birthday cake cookie with a whole lotta sprinkles (see pic) and vanilla frosting topping. If you pair it with some cold milk, it's yum and cuts some of the sweetness. Lastly, the Martha Stewart chocolate chip cookie thins are the kind of cookies you can keep eating one after another. Thin, crispy, yet slightly chewy and the sea salt (or maybe coarse salt?) sprinkles tied it all together perfectly. I can't speak on the semi-sweet chocolate chunk because it was my friend's and he ate it lol. I enjoy Crumbl when I want something really sweet and they never fail at that. I like their variety of cookies and how they rotate flavors. There's always something new to try when I visit. Crumbl Cookies is 4 stars, but today's customer service was a 2. Looking forward to seeing what different cookies they'll offer in the upcoming weeks.

11.21.25: I'm always on the hunt for a good pie and while doing some research I came across Olive's…read morePastry, a local family owned bakery that's located inside of The Caramel Kitchen, and thought it's worth a try. She relocated her shop here a little over 2 months ago and has a spot that takes up the corner. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by Kelly. She offers a variety of fruit and cream pies, tarts, cake loafs, and rolls--as well as savory pies too. Right away, I noticed how big and heavy the pies were and for $25 bucks each, that's a great deal for something homemade! We went with a whole lemon cream pie and two mini chocolate cream pies. The mini pies are $5 bucks each and pretty big too. On my way out, I decided to pre-order a Dutch Apple pie to pick up next week for Thanksgiving. The lemon cream pie was fantastic. Great lemon taste and it didn't have that sour tangy tart after taste either. What I particularly like about this lemon pie is that the topping was a whipped cream vs meringue--not everyone is a meringue fan, so the cream topping you really can't go wrong with. This pie was hefty and I loved how there was so much filling vs cream ratio. Pie crust was cooked through and had a nice crumble and flake to it. The chocolate cream pie is good if you like that lighter chocolate taste vs the dark rich chocolate taste. It had more of a silky chocolate flavor and was smooth.

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.

Ciccarelli's -- Coeur d'Alene…read more As someone who has traveled extensively -- including throughout Italy, one of my favorite places on earth -- I do not say this lightly: Ciccarelli's serves some of the finest pizza I have ever eaten. And I mean anywhere. Italy included. There is something almost impossible to describe about truly exceptional pizza. At a certain level, words begin to fail because great pizza is not analyzed... it's experienced. It's the kind of food that causes conversations to stop mid-sentence because everyone at the table suddenly realizes something special is happening. That's Ciccarelli's. I've lived in Coeur d'Alene barely three weeks and my wife and I have already been there three times. At this point, resistance appears futile. Every pizza we've tried has been a masterpiece. Not "really good." Not "our favorite in town." Masterpiece. The crust alone deserves poetry -- blistered, wood-fired perfection with that delicate balance of crispness, chew, char, and tenderness that only happens when people truly understand dough. Every ingredient tastes intentional. Nothing feels thrown together. Every bite -- from the tip of the slice to the outer crust -- is a full gastronomic experience. Favorites so far: THAT'S AMORE -- red sauce, pepperoni, Italian sausage, red onion, black olives & mozzarella. THE SPICY ITALIAN -- spicy red sauce, pesto, Italian sausage, red onions, fresh mozzarella, parmesan & basil. Ridiculously good. THE STELLA -- olive oil base, goat cheese, prosciutto, apricot preserves & honey drizzle. Sweet, savory, luxurious, and somehow perfectly balanced. And the Pizza Margherita... Listen carefully: A Margherita pizza is the ultimate truth serum for a pizza restaurant. You cannot hide behind toppings. It exposes everything -- crust, sauce, cheese, balance, restraint, technique. Ciccarelli's passes that test with flying colors. Their Margherita has become my weekly sustenance pizza. And then... The desserts. Good grief. Most restaurants treat dessert like an afterthought. Ciccarelli's treats it like a sacred continuation of the meal. I am slowly working my way through their dessert offerings, but I keep getting derailed by the BLACK BOTTOM COCONUT CREAM PIE. I have been eating coconut cream pie for over seventy years. Seventy. I have NEVER had anything like this pie. The rich saturation of flavor... the generous texture of real coconut... the black bottom... whatever culinary sorcery is occurring back there needs to be protected by national treaty. It is so good that you could honestly justify visiting Ciccarelli's solely for dessert. Also outstanding: * Piña Colada Cream Pie * Strawberry Shortcake Torte * Napoleon * Cannoli The restaurant itself is immaculate, intimate, warm, and beautifully designed. Seating is limited, however, and deservedly so. My advice? Get there early or go on a weekday if possible. They also offer lovely outdoor seating. And finally, the family behind it all. There is something unmistakable about a place built by people who genuinely love what they do, love each other, and love the experience they are creating for others. You can feel it the moment you walk in. That kind of thing cannot be faked. Ciccarelli's is not merely a restaurant. It's one of those rare places people discover and then quietly hope doesn't become too famous because they still want to get a table. An absolute gem in Coeur d'Alene.
