If you live in the CDA area, you've driven past Alani on Appleway and Fourth at least 100 times and…read morehave never seen it. It's in the rear parking lot behind Hometown Chiropractic, next to Surf Shack Burgers. Alani Bakery is fantastic! Husband and wife owned, specialty in custom cakes (which I have not tried) and pastries (which I have). Their pastries are amazing, fresh, and perhaps the best I've had in all of Kootenai County. Sitting area is small, with a total of three two-seater tables and a sofa. Certainly not a place for a gathering. But if you want a quiet, comfortable hidden getaway to enjoy some quiet time without a loud blender, grinder, or coffee shop noises every 45 seconds, this is the place! Limited breakfast menu, but the croissant sandwiches and crepe options are wonderful. Croissant is warm, buttery, flakey, fresh and filled with goodness. Owners are super friendly and knowledgeable and offer great service. Excellent espresso (no drip coffee, so order an Americano or latte). You must try this place! P.S. there is one negative 1-star review on this site. Anytime I see someone post a 1-star review on any place, I check out their profile and almost always every one of their reviews are 1-star. Don't be deceived by either a chronic discontent or fake review. You will enjoy this place!

So happy to have stumbled upon Alani Bakery soon after their opening! My friend recently hosted her…read morebachelorette party in Coeur d'Alene, so we visited a wine bar nearby. We drove past Alani and decided to stop in to grab some goodies for our Airbnb later. It was late in the day, so they didn't have too many options, but we were lucky to get our hands on the last of their monthly mini cake! This month was a beautiful little lemon cake with strawberry buttercream. So delicious, and split with 8 people, the perfect small bite of cake after a day of rich foods. Service was excellent. The man working at the counter was very knowledgeable in explaining each available item to us. The place was very clean, though small. I will definitely be back if I find myself in Coeur d'Alene!

These are by far the best doughnuts in the Cd'A area. Their chocolate bars and Bavarian cream…read morefilled doughnuts are my favorite. They have different flavors of bagels and cream cheese which have been great as a savory option. Their breakfast burritos are also very good! I just had their kombucha from tap for the first time, and it's excellent. My kids love it here too because there's plenty of space to roam and comfy places to sit everywhere. It's well lit and comfortable, even in the winter due to the big fireplace in the middle. Bathrooms have always been real neat and clean. Everyone here has been so helpful and friendly each time. Such a treat every time we come!

We were greeted right away by an employee who complimented my son's haircut, and he was genuinely…read morefriendly and welcoming. The staff behind the counter was patient as we decided what to order, though the interaction felt a little less warm, almost as if we were interrupting their day. We picked out six doughnuts and spent nearly $18. The dough itself was excellent and probably the strongest part of the experience. The toppings, though, tasted a little artificial to us and were sweeter than we prefer. There also wasn't much of a selection if you're looking for simpler classics like glazed or powdered doughnuts. The doughnuts were creative and certainly different, but for the price, we didn't feel like the overall value was there. I'm glad we tried it, but I don't think it would be our first choice next time we're looking for doughnuts.

My wife and I like to visit all the various shops in the area and my first stop into Cornerstone…read morewas a good one. I just had black coffee and it was solid. The shop is small but comfortable. With it being in a walkable area I could see this place getting busy. The only negative part was a huge picture of Charlie Kirk on the way to the bathroom. This was an unfortunate turn. 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. Since I vote with my money I will not be returning to this place.

Looking to get your donut fix on the South Hill? Well, look no further than Sweet Tooth. New to the…read moreneighborhood, Sweet Tooth's donuts are cakey with flavorful sticky frosting. Get here early because they do sell out of popular donuts; however, they continue to make donuts throughout the day. As other Yelpers have noted, donuts are a bit pricey (about $6/donut), but they are also pretty big donuts. You can get specialty coffees and tea here too. I ordered a cedar chai latte. I was told some people think there is cedar in the chai, but that's not why it's called that. It's the name of the tea company. The chai was really rich and worth stopping in for a visit on its own. There is also plenty of parking just off Grand Boulevard.

I love to see new places on Southhill and this location always seems to struggle. I was up for a…read moredoughnut so headed in to do a pickup. The owner was very kind and showed off the doughnuts and his coffee machine. It is clean and professional! Clearly looks like a nice product. The doughnuts look great! However please note it is about $6 a pastry. So this isn't a pick up a dozen. Also they are made with brioche dough. So they are heavier vs the soft puff one may be used too. In general they were good. I guess a more European take on a pastry. Not as sweet and probably better ingredients. They all ate a bit dry though. Not sure if this is by intent. It was good. But at $5-$6 a doughnut it should be dreamy I think. Would I go back. Maybe. I probably would prefer a maple bar from doughnut parade or fluffies or such. I want them to succeed and maybe the coffee will be their jam. The owner talked it up. And 1 doughnut may be ok. Also there is no sitting. This is a take and go operation. Clearly great people. I hope it works out. But the price and product was lacking for me. But go try them out!
