I had a really lovely time at Kitty Cantina in Spokane, the vibe is super cozy, and all the kitties…read morewere adorable. I absolutely love the concept of Kitty Cantina--it's such a great way to combine a café with a cat adoption center. The food was incredible--seriously, a 10 out of 10--so I highly recommend visiting just for that. They also have a drive-through option where a lot of people bring furry friend to get a treat. The kittens do cost $200, which is good to know upfront. That said, the adoption process is very slow. Because it's off-season (winter) they have limited cats, and the website wasn't very functional. They open their books for a reservations the week of and they book up pretty fast. They do have walk-in visits Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays for around $5, it's four people at a time and it's first come first serve for those visits. Same-day adoptions aren't possible; you need an appointment. If you're looking to adopt quickly, I'd suggest trying somewhere else--like Petsmart, where we found a beautiful kitten and adopted the same day. The process was seamless and so easy. Still, I'll definitely be back for the food and to support them with donations--just be prepared for a longer adoption timeline.

I don't know how we missed this place on our previous trips to Coeur d'Alene, but this time, we…read morewere on the hunt for some good coffee and a bag of beans to make every morning during our 10-day stay. I was really surprised by how fresh and flavorful their beans were--and their lattes and cappuccinos were just as amazing. One cool thing is that if you scan their code, you can check out what they have right on your phone. Every latte and cappuccino we tried was outstanding. We'll definitely be back next year!

Really cute coffee shop! I wanted to stop here since the building looked so inviting…read more I loved all the fun season drinks and ended up getting one of the seasonal spritzers. I enjoyed the colorful drink and that it wasn't too sweet. There was a lot of seats for people who wanted to sit too. Only reason I gave it 4 stars was the service was alright. The baristas weren't the most welcoming but make good drinks!

I absolutely loved the atmosphere of this shop. It has a very warm and welcoming feel, with tall ceilings that make the space feel open and airy. When I first arrived it was quite busy, filled with families laughing and enjoying their time together, which created a lively and friendly environment. As someone who is more introverted, the crowd was a bit overwhelming at first, but it eventually cleared out and became a very comfortable place to relax. The staff were also incredibly kind. Since I had never tried a macaron before, I ordered a rose macaron to taste, and it was absolutely delicious. They also gave me a complimentary sample of their coffee, which was excellent. It was the house blend. And the bags they sell are very reasonably priced. The café is very well priced, with drinks ranging the $5-8 mark, and the foods ranging $3-8- and the quality of the food and drinks are quite rich in taste! Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I will definitely be coming back.

Shelly and the staff are sweet as can be. Easy spot to sit for a view and a cinnamon roll.read more

Vault Coffee was a really good stop in downtown Coeur d'Alene. It's in a cool old bank building on…read moreSherman Ave, so it already has more character than your average coffee place before you even order anything. The coffee menu was the big win for me. They had a lot of unique latte options instead of just the same basic flavors you can get anywhere, and I liked that they leaned into local touches with huckleberry items. That's the kind of thing that makes it feel like you're actually getting something from the area and not just another copy-paste coffee stop. It's also in a great spot if you want to make more of an afternoon out of it. There are cute little shops around downtown, and you're close enough to wander over toward the park and the lake after grabbing coffee. It's an easy place to stop, walk around, and actually enjoy Coeur d'Alene for a bit. Definitely worth checking out, especially if you like flavored lattes and want something a little more interesting than the normal coffee chain run.

I'm always tempted by pumpkin this time of year, but the Chilton Chai on their Gilmore Girls menu spoke to me today. It's their version of a dirty chai and has a good balance of spice and sweetness.

The french toast was really good. It was nicely balanced and not too sweet. The warmed peaches added great flavor. The classic on the other hand was a standard breakfast. The eggs were tender, the potatoes were crispy and I love the soughdough with preserves. The sausage on the other hand wasn't my favorite. They weren't bad, I just didn't enjoy the spices. Next time I'll try the links or bacon. Today we showed up around 1030a and the resturant was busy. The later in the day you come the busier it gets. Its best to come early on the weekends if you want to avoid the noise and crowd.

It feels very open with a long wooden table in the center and tables on the side wall and by the window with a few couches at that end. Turmeric chai was bomb! Lightly sweet with a light turmeric ginger flavor. And best of all it was caffeine free!! So great anytime of day or for those sensitive to caffeine like me. 8oz was $6 so that is steep for the smallest size but it was good enough I'd come back for it when in the area again. They are known for there hand pies so had to try one of those! I got the mixed berry since they were out of there most popular huckNberry and it was good, pretty sweet for me in the morning so wish I had tried a savory one but had good flavor and flaky crust. I bet the chicken pot pie one is really good in that crust. My friend got a seasonal Latte with pecan I believe and liked it a lot.

While I don't believe murder is the correct ending to someone's life, Charlie Kirk was also not a positive figure on the political stage, in my opinion.
