Beautiful view! But their windows are dirty during winter so dress warm and get a coffee and then go for a walk ;)

This is a great place for coffee and baked goods! We often walk or bike here when visiting the area. Amazing views of the lake. My favorite is the ham and cheese croissant! Yummy

Overall this is a really nice bakery. Great location! Very friendly service and fast (considering how long the line can get). I really like their house made nut butters! Almond croissant is delicious!

This was a convenient walk from our hotel every morning for a few days. The staff was always so friendly and helpful. The coffee is very good and the pastries are amazing!

Stopped here as part of our ride on the Centennial Trail. Offered a good mix of sandwiches and bakery items for lunch. Chocolate Chip Cookie was soft, fresh and very good. Had a half sandwich as well and it hit the spot. Friendly service and indoor/outdoor seating available. Worth the stop, especially if you need a break from peddling.

Love this place! Great breakfast. Coffee is fine other options are close by but going for food is with it
Glad they arrived at this location. Great stop for morning on my drive to the bay and beyond. Got a few pastries. Great tasting crecents. Got the apple filled one on recommendation. Iced mocha tasted great. Spacious lounge and cafe layout. Friendly ladies knowledgeable on product. Thank you!

Yummy! Good looking bread and treats served in a comfortable, welcoming space. They need more employees so customers aren't made to wait so long.The sourdough bread and huckleberry cupcakes were both excellent.

Downtown Couer d'Alene is no picnic to look for parking by mid morning up to the evening. That was why on my last day there on my most recent trip I went early and parking was abundant! I was trying to make a goal on the Pokémon Go game and did just before the conclusion of my trip but Downtown had plenty of elements to get close to that goal with a fair amount of walking.All that walking and strolling around got me in the mood for a coffee shop. I didn't see one readily available but I eventually came across Bakery by the Lake. It's a very appropriate name as this bakery is literally facing Lake Couer d'Alene. I went in and saw a very nice pastry selection as well as coffee drink options. I haven't had a Bear Claw pastry since I don't know when. I also got an iced Chai Tea. My current drink at coffee shops this past spring and early summer. The staff very promptly completed my order.It was warm and humid enough outside in a pleasant way to eat outside of the bakery on the patio. My Bear Claw was awesome! I got the impression it was made on site or very close by because it was very fresh, flaky and vibrant to eat. Needless to say it didn't stick around long. My Chai Tea was very good too! Very refreshing and it had a nice spiciness to it from the Chai mix.I would definitely come back here again for more of the Bear Claws! But know to come early due to the parking challenge unless you feel like taking a walk from a nearby residential area.
