Sure, Seattle is nice but, you don’t have to go to the west side to get great coffee. West Plains Coffee Roasters is five years into being a go-to spot in Cheney. Warm-up with their delicious maple nut latte or bold Brazilian brew, and maybe a little something they baked up special.
Where can you go for holiday treats like pie, pastries, or other baked goods to go with that big holiday dinner you have on your to-do list? Lefevre Street Bakery, a sweet spot in Medical Lake for breakfast and lunch specials, as well as a bakery full of yummy goodies.
