About The Gathering Place

The Gathering Place is a charming spot that offers a variety of freshly baked goods, including homemade bread and pastries like donuts. Their menu features made-to-order sandwiches, salads, and soups, such as the Full Nelson sandwich and loaded potato soup. The attached deli and market section offers a range of homemade breads, take-home dinner meals, and unique gifts like handmade beard balm and oil, jewelry, and specialty foods like jerky sticks and yogurt-covered raisins. The coffee shop serves a delicious chai and has a cozy seating area. Many visitors praise the pastries, describing them as heavenly and unforgettable. The store also includes a delightful gift shop with a selection of deli meats, cheeses, spices, handmade rugs, and wooden chairs, all at reasonable prices. The place is very kid-friendly, with a playground next to the shop, and wheelchair accessible, making it convenient for all guests. With friendly staff and affordable prices, The Gathering Place is a popular lunch destination, especially given its proximity to the Kootenai casino. However, some recent visitors noted that the bread is outstanding, but their experience was marred by rude staff and issues with flies and cleanliness during their visit, which was disappointing. Overall, it remains a beautiful and welcoming place for good food and unique shopping.
