Craving the perfect chewy-crisp bagel but not sure where to find it in Spokane? From classic bakeries to quirky cafes serving up both traditional and gluten-free delights, the city’s breakfast scene is ready to surprise you with something better than your usual grocery store fare.
Let’s get to it.
Cole’s Bakery & Cafe
If “gluten-free” usually makes you think of cardboard masquerading as bread, Cole’s Bakery & Café is on a mission to prove you wildly wrong. Their menu is safe for just about anyone with food allergies or dietary quirks, all the way from keto to vegan to that friend who wants a donut but no peanuts anywhere in sight. The breakfast lineup reads like a dream—omelets, pancakes, even biscuits & gravy, none of which contain a trace of gluten or peanuts. Come Saturday, the cinnamon rolls and donuts make an appearance and proceed to disappear almost as quickly.
You’ll find lunch and dinner classics too, with burgers (on actual buns), gourmet grilled cheese, pizzas any way you want them, and vegan mac & “cheese” that doesn’t look nervous about the competition. They bake their own bread, baguettes, and bagels…and if you need a cake for an occasion, just give them a little advance notice so they can work their magic. Espresso bar? Check. Drive-thru? Naturally. Basically, Cole’s has the whole “why is this gluten-free so good?” question covered.
All those cravings you thought were off limits? Go ahead— see what Cole’s is baking up today.
