Miller’s Country Store — Restaurant in Sandpoint

I happened upon Millers one day by accident when I first moved up to the area. This is the epitome of a local Mom & Pop shop. I don't want to mislabel here but I believe the family & friends that run this are either Mennonite or Amish. In any case, as you may expect, real nice people whom aim to please.

You can find a variety of sundries, dried goods, food prepping supplies, bulk goods, farm fresh goods, take & bake items, deli meats and cheeses, soaps, arts & crafts, and even a deli that serves soups and sandwiches.

There is ample parking unless there's a rush around lunch time so you may be required to side street park. It's not near the typical food districts and retail areas so check out Maps before heading out. They have outdoor seating and indoor, although note... you go back outside the store to access the attached indoor seating area as their kitchen divides the two areas.

I was so hungry I forgot to take pictures of my soup, sandwich, and dessert but I'll update the next time I go. The soup is not to be missed as it's always very flavorful without being overly salty and it actually surprises me. The sandwiches come with your choices of fresh baked breads, cheeses, and deli meats. They have a menu board with premade selections or pick up a deli slip at the counter and build your own. The desserts...don't even get me started! I want to try them ALL! You may want to bring extra money and take some home.

It's a hidden little gem you should go check out. I almost hate to mention it here because I want the things I love to stay...

I come from the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country (at least one grandparent on both sides of my family spoke PA Dutch!), so when I say that Millers is the real deal, I can vouch from a lifetime of experience. It's a great bulk food store with everything you would expect to find in Ohio or Pennsylvania. All of their canned stuff is exactly what we bought in Lancaster County, and the Lebanon Bologna is legit (they don't carry Seltzers, which was always my favorite, but Kutztown is a solid brand). Plus, all of their homemade stuff is top notch...I love the beef strogonoff and my wife loves their bread which, I have to say, that bread tastes exactly like what we bought at the Mennonite bakeries growing up). Oh, and do yourself a favor and get one of their sandwiches, I go for the Lebanon Bologna with the farmers cheese, sweet onions, savory mustard, and sprouts on honey wheat bread...this place is a gem of the...

This store is a little gem. From home bait, and stupendously tasty, pastries to soups and sandwiches and everything in between. Local eggs, deli meats and cheese, freshly made and frozen dinners. And the biggest supply of dried goods I've seen in a long time, from flour to nuts literally .

Add in a scattering of little toys, hand woven and brilliantly colored baskets with handles that support a collective, raw milk, fresh veggies, coffee, tea. Yep, everything.

There is always a service with a smile and no one to rush you along when you looking over everything. Oh there is also a separate space next door where you can take your soup and sandwiches and collectible pastries and sit either outside in the sunshine or inside out of the weather.

I know I sound like an ad, but you really should go...
