Central Food
When I think of Central Food, I think of delicious, fresh-baked bread and a wonderful view. If it is a nice, sunny day in Spokane, Central Food is where you should be eating lunch. Nestled right along the Centennial Trail, at Central Food you can count on quality food, quick service, and smiles all-around. The best day to go to Central Food is Friday because that is when they sell their“ Roasted Garlic Rosemary Bread!” You can also grab a loaf of their“ Country Bread” for five dollars any day of the week.
They have four different menus: Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, and Dinner. Brunch is only available on the weekends.
When I go for lunch, I usually order a hearty sandwich like their“ Smoked Brisket.” If you’ re a fan of spice, you’ ll want to order the“ Korean Pork Sandwich.” The“ PNW Lentil Bowl” is great if you are looking for a lighter lunch. It is a spinach salad mixed with a generous number of golden beets, lentils, radish, cucumber, red onion, and sprinkled with a light red wine vinaigrette. This was so much better than a boring lunch salad. Don’ t worry vegetarians, they didn’ t forget about you. The“ Chickpea Burger” is a hearty portion served with your favorite side.
Hello Sugar
Hello Sugar opened in mid-2018 and they have been making waves around Spokane since day one. This is THE spot to satisfy that sweet tooth and it is donut-lovers galore. These guys make the most beautiful mini-donuts I have ever seen. You have to see them to believe it! Covered in glitter and sparkles, they’ re truly works of art!
They have all different flavors, so there’ s sure to be something for everyone. They also can do bulk boxes, which are great for family or work events. Hello Sugar is a must-try when you’ re in Kendall Yards. They take any mini-donut you’ ve ever had and go above and beyond! Bonus: they make a large batch of gluten-free donuts every morning, so get there early to try one of those before they run out.
