Sweet Peaks Coeur d’Alene: Sweet Peaks  108 N 4th Coeur D’Alene, ID 208.666.0832 Sweet Peaks Ice Cream is so tasty that I use it as an excuse to make the drive to Coeur d’Alene. They create and make all their flavors in Whitefish, MT and transport them to their other locations. They have done such a great job with their brand, decor and swag. Everything is so simplistic and pretty. They sell mugs, t-shirts, etc., and this is a brand I would be proud to rock. After trying way too many samples, I still couldn’t have enough! Their ice cream is just different. The flavors are unique and the ingredients don’t get lost in the cream. The waffle cones are sugary, flaky and fresh. They melt in your mouth instead of breaking off in chunks like usual. These are my favorite cones around. They are located on 4th, right off CDA’s Main Street.  They also love to work with local ingredients. When we visited for their grand opening, they had a beer and peanut flavor from a local brewery and a flavor that used Doma Coffee. At Sweet Peaks, they always offer their signature flavors and they have a list of flavors they switch around as the seasons change and they experiment with new ingredients. There is a lot of ice cream competition on CDA’s main street, but let me tell you…this is the place to go. Like I said, it’s just different!   Mary Lou’s MILK BOTTLE Milk Shakes: Mary Lou’s Milk Bottle 802 W Garland Ave Spokane, WA  509.325.1772 56 ART CHOWDER MAGAZINE
