6.4.25: I had to come into town to run an errand and since I was in the area I wanted to check out…read morethis pie shop I heard about that offered both, sweet and savory pies. I almost missed the place not realizing it was a cute little house. When I walked in, I was greeted with a smile and told them it was my first time in. The employee was nice and friendly and explained everything I asked about. I was looking forward to trying a savory pie, however, they did not have a meatless option that day. I ended up getting a quad, which was a pick of any 4 mini pies. There were many too choose from and I had a tough time narrowing it to just 4. My choices were: Key Lime, Raspberry Cream, Chocolate Decadence, and the last one I couldn't remember it's name but it's the bright blue one with marshmallows on top (see pic). Chocolate Decadence: This was my favorite one of the 4. It was rich, thick, and creamy, but didn't give a heavy feeling. The chocolate crust had a nice crumble and the 1 fresh raspberry garnish gave it that sweet finish. Key Lime: I really enjoyed the taste of this key lime. It had just the right amount of sweetness and no bitter tart after taste. Some key limes I've had were just too sugary and glad this one wasn't like that. The crust was a coconut graham-like that was too hard for me and I thought the coconut over powered the taste of the key lime. Raspberry Cream: Good raspberry cream filling but with the richness of the chocolate crust and garnish, it almost overpowered the raspberry flavor. The blue one that I couldn't remember it's name nor could I find it on their website: Unfortunately, this was my least favorite one although it was "pretty" looking. The coconut graham crust overpowered the pie filling flavor. Given I couldn't remember it's name, I couldn't get a taste or feel for what the blue filling was supposed to taste like--all I could taste was coconut. Definitely a fun one for the kids, but just not for me which is okay since there's many more to try. Service was outstanding and she also let me know I could order a veggie savory pie online for pickup since there's no guarantee if it's available that day or not. It is a small place, but there were a couple of 2-seaters inside to sit at. I took mine to-go since I still needed to find some lunch. I do plan to return to try a different set of flavors.

They are located in the same shopping center as Super 1 and Ace Hardware. I like their coffee bakery shop is to the left of the parking lot and has ample spaces to park. The shop itself is very big and spacious. It includes lots of room for seating for different party sizes. The selection of pastries, breads and drinks make this an excellent place to visit. The prices are also very reasonable. I did also take the beginner sourdough class and had a great time. It was a small group and the instructor (owner) really took the time to answer questions, discuss methods and helped us perfect the techniques. Class took us through every step of the process and we got to go home with a starter and a loaf we cut. Since then I have made my own loaf using what I learned and it came out perfect. This is one of the best hands on classes in the area.

The food is authentic & fresh. The service is great and dessert is the best I've ever had!!!read more

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.

Very limited selection of items so we got a slice of strudel and a mini marzipan torte cake. Strudel was good, definitely not amazing, and I don't need to get it again. Chocolate topped marzapan torte cake was good. Items are extremely expensive, $20.00 for the two items, and, sadly, I will probably not go back as this is the type of business I would not frequent once a week or even once a month ( I'm not craving either one and the costs are prohibitive to make regular visits ). Still looking for an amazing bakery in CdA or Post Falls.

Not only do they make wonderful sweets, but their tamales really are the best. I'm from an area of…read moreCalifornia where access to homemade, family recipe type tamales were common. I've even participated in family gatherings making tamales as part of holiday traditions. So, I've eaten a lot of wonderful tamales in my 47 years. So I can say, with authority, that Rachel and Ruben's tamales are better than all of them. Not only is the filling bursting with authentic flavors and spices, but the masa is also popping with flavor and not one bit dry -- even after reheating in the microwave. Many times that's not the case -- to be moist they must be steamed. This was such a treat for me because I had them delivered to my office, and stored in my fridge to enjoy for lunches, and only have a microwave available. I got a mixed dozen, which included cheese, pork, and chicken. All were perfection. I also got a mixed box of macarons, their selection choice so I could be surprised. Also pure perfection. They literally couldn't have improved on anything. Most highly recommended.
