On our way from Chicago to Seattle on a road trip. Jo Mamas morning breakfast (with a sausage paddy on the side) was the best breakfast we have gotten. And the americano coffee was splendid too. Our warmest recommendation. Kris and Jesper

Cute little bakery. We had Cinnamon roll coffee cake and an Americano. The coffee cake tasted fresher and better. Americano was a super light roast of coffee for my tastes (didn’t taste like espresso but something you’d use for drip) but hot and drinkable. Friendly service and adorable interior!

Jolene provided us with catering for our daughter's wedding, she wanted brisket and a lot of it! Green bean casserole, baby medley colorful potatoes, amazing tossed spinach and green salad, and a family recipe fruit salad, all made to perfection. She was very involved weeks before the wedding making sure everything was correct and when they were at the venue they helped massively by serving each first plate with the correct amount of meat, they did the dishes, made last minute Huckleberry lemonade in a Giant drink dispenser that I forgot to fill before they got there! They were just amazing! I also often go through their coffee shop and pick up desserts and breakfast sandwiches from their Cafe which has amazing breakfast as well and coffee. Seems like they always have Huckleberry something in their case as well. Thank you Jolene, Jesse and Autumn for an amazing experience I will use you for my catering of large events from now on!

One of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had! It was HUGE and you also get a slice of pie (or other side) included in the great price! I got mine to go - so good! It will last me 2 days!

Cute little bakery / cafe in Priest River, right at the intersection of Hwy 2 and Hwy 57. A 15-seat gem that is cool, clean, and very inviting. The crepes are amazing. I had the "Oh so berry good" crepe and a large mocha. The crepe was warm and full of berries. While sweet, it wasn't overly so. The mocha was creamy and thick. I encourage you to stop by and see Jo if you're in the area. You'll be glad you did. The hours are 7-2 Wednesday thru Sunday.
