Inland Café & Tea

Great and fun place to visit! They had lots of teas and food to choose from. It's best to check their schedule and make an appointment ahead of time. I'll need to come back to try other options.

I booked a high tea party for 13 people for a baby shower. Communication with Jesse was prompt and she was great to work with. The food was delicious, especially the scones which were moist and soft unlike other scones I’ve had. Everyone there was friendly, and provided amazing service. Many people in my party said this was the best baby shower they have been to. Thank you Inland Cafe and Tea for making it so special!

What an excellent Tea Cafe! Of course you can get salads and sandwiches, but we went for the high teas experience. We very much enjoyed the Emperess Tea! The scones were amazing, the 5 different tea sandwiches were fantastic and the petite desserts were excellent, especially the bread pudding! There are so many teas to choose from and everyone I had were wonderfully made! I cannot sing their praises high enough! The food is amazing, the staff are so nice and pleasant, and the atmosphere is so relaxing and enjoyable. An all-around wonderful experience that I most highly recommend for e everyone! A little girls tea party (they have a special setup for that); a ladies tea, a book club tea experience (especially awesome if you're currently reading Victorianor steampunk era novels), a Bachelorette party, Mother's Day, birthdays, the list is endless! I want to start up a ladies society that dress up (possibly in Victorian styled outfits), enjoy a lovely tea there, then all play Whist and Bunco some evening! How fun would that be?!? Go, enjoy, and you will be so happy that you do!

My family, in our quest to visit all 50 states, traveled the northwest over the last couple of weeks. We love a good tea room and found Inland Café & Tea on an internet search as we were driving to Coeur d'Alene. We knew we were going to Coeur d'Alene for our Idaho experience, but we did not know exactly what we would do there. We chose to begin our adventure here for high tea! It did not disappoint. My wife and I have had tea at tea rooms all over the East Coast and Inland Café & Tea ranks among the best for us.

The food was well prepared and presented but most importantly delicious! The scones were a little different than we are used to, but they were fantastic. One thing I look for in a tea room is their tea selection, and this selection was extensive with a flavor for everyone. Personally, I like my tea to have a bold flavor and aroma without adding sugar. Our server, Jamie, was super helpful in pointing us in the right direction. The pistachio pu'erh and lemon sugar cookie teas were our favorite! Drinking the pistachio pu'erh tea was like wrapping up in a warm blanket and eating a buttery pistachio baked good. Drinking the lemon sugar cookie black tea was like eating a lemon square and finishing it with a shortbread cookie. I am not usually a lemon tea fan, but this one was off the charts delicious! Jamie was able to help us with our selections because she had tasted many of the teas herself, which was very important as you will see in my next comments.

The only negative things that we can say about our experience come from comparison to other tea rooms. When you order high tea, it comes with a bottomless pot of tea, which is standard, but here that applies to only one flavor. What if you choose wrong? Fortunately, we were blessed with Jamie, who listened to our flavor preference and got us to the best choices first! We did order some other teas to try and found others that we enjoyed and then purchased to take home. I will be ordering online when we run out for sure. They only sell the loose tea in 3 oz bags. I wish they had sample size bags that had enough for one cup so I could taste it before committing to a 3 oz bag of something that may not be what I prefer, especially if I am paying to ship it back to MD.

The final thing we thought was odd was that they steeped the loose leaf tea right in the pot. They seemed to time the steeping of the tea before bringing the pot out, but then without removing the tea leaves, it continues steeping, which causes the tea to get more bitter. They do provide a trainer on the table to pour your cup to catch the tea leaves.

Even though we would have preferred a few things to be different, we thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Unfortunately, we will not be back to Idaho anytime soon as our quest to visit all 50 states continues, but we will be ordering online for sure.

Kid-friendliness: Our kids were treated like royalty. Their food was delicious, and there were more sandwich choices than other tea rooms offer kids! The only thing missing from the kids' tea that is usually included was a scone. We absolutely added one for them, and they were glad that we did.

My mom took me and my little girls for a special lunch and tea. It was so fun and so delicious. The scone was the best we’ve ever had. We will definitely be back and would recommend 100%

My daughter and I made a special trip into town to go to this tea shop. The door said the would open at 9. We arrived at 9:30 not open, came back after 10 not open. We went to terre's instead and had great service. Came back by at 11 still not open. Great way to loose customers permanently. No sign on the door stating why they were closed for any special occasion or had a change of hours other than that was posted

The service was excellent! I enjoyed my tea, sandwich, and strawberry shortcake dessert ?! The staff was very friendly and genuine despite my big group, which was no doubt overwhelming. I will definitely be coming back to try more of their wide variety teas and delicious food!

Dietary restrictions: They offered gluten-free strawberry shortcake, so there is no doubt there will be other gluten-free option!

To be honest, we are tea snobs. Visiting England spoiled us, which means when we find a delightful place like this we get a little giddy. They have fair prices, very good food, and friendly service. We've been back multiple times, and will continue to do so. They also are kid friendly.

My daughter and I had a lovely tea here. The scones are like nothing I have ever had. We will be back for them. The veggie sandwich was fantastic!
