Thomas S.

Lovely coffee shop! My wife and I went to the downtown location. Their butterscotch latte was really good. Super great spot for studying or you can get something and walk around riverfront park.

A cute little shop in downtown Spokane! This place had a good crowd on Saturday morning but the place has quite a fair amount of seating and a variety and dare I say a good coworking space in the back? Despite the crowd the line moved fairly quickly. Some of the stand outs were bagel sandwich and the avocado toast. The bagel was filling! They did this interesting thing in which they chopped up the bacon. It was good but perhaps a tad too salty. The avocado toast was also a hit and that's big considering how trendy it is now. I also had a cortado which I think was pretty good imo since I didn't add anything extra in it! Overall I'd definitely come back!

Vanilla latte

Had a delicious latte and great friendly service from Ella. Cool vibe inside. Glad I popped in.

Blueberry Sunset | Blueberry Matcha  with Oat Milk and a Lemon Merengue Cold Foam
Sophia C.

The baristas here were so welcoming, nice and excited to explain the menu to me as a first-timer. They took their time to figure out what kind of drink I wanted and I was very happy with the Blueberry Sunrise! This was my first time trying blueberry and lemon in a matcha, and it was very delicious-- so so unique. The coffee shop is also connected to a running store, so it is a smaller space.

Coffee, matcha's
Charley B.

Really good coffee shop in Spokane that I recommend to anyone needing suggestions!! The cold brew is nice, but the matcha is amazing, especially with honey or strawberry. The staff is very friendly, and the place is modern and big - good spot to work or meet with people. The parking downtown can be a bit difficult, but not horrible - you will have to pay.

Pumpkin spice latte, matcha latte
Emily L.

Was walking the downtown area and in need of coffee. I remember this coffee place being great last time at the other location so I went again. Decided to try the butterscotch latte with oat milk, and lemon vanilla latte with soy milk. I liked how they don't charge for alternative milks. The flavors were very faint, they were a perfect sweetness but I didn't taste lemon or butterscotch at all. I also got a breakfast sandwich, which I think the price was excessive. It was about $12 for a bagel with a little cheese, an egg, spicy mayo, and arugula. It was good but not worth the amount for what's in it. After buying the things, the girl taking my order was super rude. Didn't say anything, even after I said thank you she just said "yup". Inside was nice and super cool to see lots of seating. All seats were taken so we decided to sit at the bar area. We stayed inside, and it comes with mugs which was cool.

Spicy avocado toast
Jesica V.

I was in Spokane for a few days and stopped into indaba four times. Hands down my favorite coffee spot in downtown Spokane. And -- even better -- they've got unquestionably THE BEST avocado toast I've ever had. The best avocado toast my boyfriend ever had and the best avocado toast eaten by the lady at the table next to ours who also kept returning just to eat it. I'm addition to mashed avocados, the toast features tasty sprouts and pickled onions which combine to make a fresh, savory, spicy, delicious treat. By comparison, the veggie burrito was just okay -- but that doesn't even matter because you can always get the spicy avocado toast. Service was great. Ambience in the rear seating section was also perfect for working on a laptop - so it feels like one area is more social and the other is more studious.

Such a cool environment with lots of local vibes. We loved spending our breakfast time as a family there. They had a very delicious and rich matcha and a freshly made croissant Enjoy It!

Laura B.

Great spot! I hadn't been to this location and loved the vibe. Lots of seating and quick service. The lemon latte was delicious!! Will definitely remember this for next time I'm in downtown Spokane and need a caffeine fix!

Great place for quiet reading in a Sunday morning.
Kelly K.

I was in town for a conference and searched for a coffee shop near the Davenport hotel. This was an easy walk and such an adorable place. Customer service was five stars, even though they were having technical difficulties they took good care of their patrons. I had the seasonal pumpkin spice latte, and it was absolutely delicious! It's a perfect end into a weekend conference in Spokane.

White chocolate mocha.

$$$$ too expensive for my blood. Good coffee, but can't justify over $6 for a latte without a tip.

No one asked if we'd made a reservation. I eventually asked a server at the bar if we should seat ourselves because we'd been standing there for so long. No, someone will help you soon. A host walked up. He was eating something. When he got to the host stand, he finished his food, took a big drink and wiped his hands before making eye contact with us. He said the wait would be 15 minutes. We sat down in the lobby. We were seated at a community table. The couple to our right finished their meal, paid the bill and left. Their seats were bussed. This all happened before our server greeted us. We ordered coffee. We waited. And waited. I scanned the restaurant for our server - or any server- to ask about our drinks and place our food order. No one else approached the table. Still no coffee. It had been 30 minutes. We decided to leave. The host realized we were leaving. He offered to find our server, pay for our meal, seat us somewhere else. He practically chased us out of the restaurant. I appreciated the sentiment but it was too little, too late and my teenage daughter was super uncomfortable with his approach. I was excited to eat at House of Brunch. I won't be back.

The inside as shown in my picture is very charming and old timey. Allow time to wait for a table unless you are just one or two like I was and able to grab a seat at the bar. I was able to sit immediately. The staff is very amiable and the hostess made the recommendation that I try the Caprese Benedict, which had fried tomatoes in place of bread, fresh basil and blood orange balsamic drizzle. They offer the option of one or two Benedict, which is nice if you aren't super hungry. They also give the option to smother the hashbrowns and cheese, which I obviously opted into. The menu is absolutely massive though, so if Benedict's or even breakfast aren't your jam, you should be able to find something that suits your fancy. Also worth noting that they offer a very wide variety of gourmet flavors of house-made juices (7 or 8) for mimosas, like honeydew melon mint which I tried as a soda with soda water since I was driving.

For main course, I had sea bass for $48 (pan-seared fish served with onion-potato gnocchi, charred asparagus, mushrooms, and asparagus coulis). It was decent, but the portion felt small for the price. Salmon rillette ended up being the best dish! It was rich, savoury, and delicious when paired with pickled onions (the bread was slightly burnt - I hated it). Ended the meal with a vanilla gelato dessert - just okay, not too wow. The restaurant was so packed and seemed understaffed, so service took forever. I left feeling a bit disappointed, especially after looking forward to it so much

We told the server it tasted burnt & old so she offered to make a fresh pot. It was just as bad, when she asked we said it was still really yucky and she said that a lot of people don't care for it. I ordered the tamale waffle. The beef was great, eggs were a bit overcooked but no biggie, the waffle was really hard and dry. It needs some sort of crema sauce or something. It wasn't horrible by any stretch but it wasn't great either. My mom got the veggie breakfast burrito and she liked the veggies though it was bland, felt like it could have had more sour cream & cheese. It was massive and came with a side. The added 16% service fee is some real BS. It says on the receipt that it's split between the server & the kitchen staff. Call me old fashioned but I thought it was on the restaurant to pay their staff a living wage. At $18 a breakfast plate & $4 for drip coffee you should be able to pay your staff. And then we're supposed to tip on top of that? Nope.

Time from entering the restaurant to food on the table was an hour, seems a little crazy for a waffle + topping situation. I think I'd almost prefer this as order at the counter and stream line the service time given waffles are casual. Inside was really loud even though it wasn't packed. My latte listed on menu for $6 was $7.50 and mimosa listed at $11 was $14... not sure if we missed something there? Was hungry pretty soon after, sampler really isn't enough for a meal. Would I go again? Sure! Overall, a fun treat.
