Bakery by the Lake - EAST — Restaurant in Coeur d'Alene

We have liked to stop here while we are on our bike trail as the Centennial trail runs right beside it… But what I’ve discovered is they’re just an extension to the main Bakery by the Lake on Front Street. More than once now they tell me that their food products are prepared at the other store but not prepared the way the food is advertised.

There is no overhead cover other than table umbrellas possibly and the view of the old highway and surrounding rundown motels is unappealing. Better to stay inside on this one where it is spacious and has plentiful seating. I took one star away for lack of...

Great little Cafe being quickly discovered by locals and visitors. Right along the Centennial Trail so you can ride or drive (there's lots of bike parking!). Clean and spacious with glass roll up doors for enjoying the beautiful Coeur d'Alene Idaho weather. Great menu selection and the Paninis made on house-baked specialty bread were delish! I added some photos and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did! We love to support local businesses prospering in our beautiful North...
