BAKERIES Rockwood Bakery 315 E. 18th Ave. | South Hill 747-8691 The Rockwood Bakery is less of a coffee shop and more of a community hub. Nestled in the neighborhood just east of Manito Park, the warm, open-air spot — stuffed with heavy wood tables and cozy chairs — is always a day-brightener. It’s just one of those places that makes a beautiful day nicer and a rainy day cozier. And nothing we’ve eaten there is anything short of delicious. Sweet Frostings Blissful Bakeshop 15 S. Washington St. | Downtown 242-3845 Everything about Sweet Frostings Blissful Bakeshop could be described with some sort of sugary adjective. When you walk in, it feels like you’ve just entered The Food Network. Brightly colored walls, cute decor and bubbly workers put customers in a good mood, while the amazingly delicious scent of the freshly made goodies makes mouths water. The bakery, in the heart of downtown Spokane, offers morning pastries,
whoopie pies, cheesecakes and French macarons, along with a few signature items — like cake truffles (also called cake pops) and homemade pop tarts. Bakery By the Lake at Parkside 601 E. Front St. | Coeur d’Alene 208-415-0681 The revamped bakery space inside the upscale Parkside building offers fresh-baked goodies and steaming cups of chai, in addition to the other treats one might expect — bagels, muffins, scones, croissants and shelves full of gorgeously browned loaves of bread. Bakery by the Lake also has a mini-bistro. You can enjoy both breakfast and lunch among the potted plants or along the sun-filled counter. In the evening, stop by for a glass of beer or wine, paired with a selection of soups and salads. n
