Excellent friendly service by Nickie. Veggie omelet was very good. Bacon mushroom omelet was good as well. Side dish of country potatoes were nice. Side dish of fruit was good.

All I can say is the country fried Benedict is spot on! Never would have thought but whoever thought of it.. kudos to you. And the service is amazing and very friendly. And you can't beat the mimosas... if you like them with a splash of color then this is your place.

Nice place with in and outdoor seating. Hot food was hot and cold food was cold. Great service with nice seating. I would return

The food and price is great, but service is a major issue. We have waited 10 or more minutes to be seated when there are tables empty, and numerous times we have waited 5 minutes before anyone even acknowledged us, even though they walked right past us. Then it is usually 20 or more minutes just to get your order. If you don't have anywhere to be, the food is worth the wait.

I hate to give this place only three stars because the food is really good but it's hard to enjoy the food because they are not open whenever I try to go there. It's their business to run their way but extending the hours on the days you're actually open helps extend the review stars.

Great burgers and breakfast. Wish they were open longer. Very nice people. Mushroom omelette is the bomb.

We enjoyed breakfast at the cafe 95 this morning. It was our first morning in Sandpoint and we were very pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Chile Verde omelette and it was absolutely delicious. The omelet was fully loaded with the most wonderful pork roast and green chili sauce. I couldn't even eat my whole breakfast. We both enjoyed breakfast, the service was excellent, the place is immaculate. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone for breakfast or lunch

One of local favorites! Food is great and staff are friendly & helpful. Love this newer location in Ponderay. More convenient for us. We always look forward to coming here!

So this really isn't enough to warrant a very through review but I'll update once I've had a "real" meal here. I was craving a cinnamon roll. So I hit the lunch rush and not much seating was available so I got the awkward open table right near the entrance in the middle of the walking zone. No biggie since it was just myself, I just felt awkward and "on display". I ordered coffee and a cinnamon roll right off the bat. The waitress asked if I wanted it warmed and with butter so I was excited it was going to be good! It did take a while to get my coffee as I waited, but understandable as it looked like she was juggling several tables. I was pleasantly surprised and appreciative that they have raw sugar and real creamer! I saw the waitress stroll over to the podium near the door that held 2 plastic wrapped cinnamon rolls and grab one. "It shouldn't be long now!" I was thinking. Plates of food came and went as I patiently waited thinking of how busy that kitchen must be. About 15 minutes later, I see the waitress go grab the other roll. I'm thinking it got lost in the shuffle because she was out with it pretty quickly after that and I did not witness another being served. The coffee was good and so was the roll but it was a bit dry and more bread like than I expected. I was thankful for the butter. Service was over all friendly and you can tell there are already regulars. Again, I will return another day, maybe not during a rush, and get some "real" food.

New place, have things to learn yet. Big barn of a place, no atmosphere at all. Stopped for breakfast, it was ok, not spectacular. Reasonably priced. Service not so great - there appeared to be 4 servers, place not too busy, but nobody came by to offer a coffee refill. There seemed to be only one coffee machine, which is not good, especially at breakfast time! Will give it another chance, this is North Idaho, not famous for its great customer service...
We've never eaten at cafe 95 now that they are on our side of town we wanted to give them a try. We've heard good reviews on their food. Menu if diner style, breakfast, lunch a few entrees for an early dinner or late lunch. (They close at 3pm) Pros- food Good for groups. Parking Friendly staff Cons- crowded at peak times Long wait for food when its crowded. Possibly short staffed? A little bit smokey from the kitchen not sure if their grill venilation was not working very well that day? I would def come back to try breakfast menu though. Give Cafe 95 try as long as you are not in a hurry!

GOOD SERVICE GREAT FOOD We went to cafe 95 in its new location in ponderay. Right off we noticed better parking, paved lot and a shaded outdoor patio seating. Even handicapped parking! Then the smells of coffee and bacon that were coming while we waited were so inviting. We sat down with a party of 10 and got drinks right away while we had a minute to look over the menu. We orderd 2 lumberjacks, 2 haystacks, a ham and cheese omelette, a chorizo burrito, chocolate chip pancakes, regular pancakes, scrambled eggs, yummy hashbrowns, hot chocolate, coffee,chocolate milk, and soda. We were visiting from out of town and it started our day off right. Our server was awesome , he refi)led our drinks pronto and gave is extra napkins, hot sauce and ketchup always making sure we had everything we needed.

Great restaurant, friendly staff and good food. I'm never disappointed and have tried a lot of different meals. Great view of Schweitzer Mtn and nice outdoor seating. You never leave hungry and their prices are reasonable too!

Hostess is great, we have been in twice. 1st time: As a WAITER YOU NEED TO SMILE be happy that you are there, engage in conversation with your patrons, making them feel at home (this is the Idaho way) not once did server come by and ask how things were or even refilled our coffee, we needed to go to the counter and as for a refill on coffee even ask for our check!!! service could be better A LOT BETTER!!!! 2nd time: Hostess is great, waitress nice, except for the French toast, half off the order was soggy not cooked. So far we are not batting a very good score!!! When you are in a service based business you need to see all customers as they are there to rate your business/company, and they do!
