Review content:
This coffee stand has moved to the corner of Hayden and Ramsey in Hayden.
I moved from the Seattle area to Coeur d'Alene in mid-August. I thought that there would be no hope of finding well-crafted lattes in the Panhandle. After a few attempts at different stands seemed to confirm my worst fears, my Mom recommended Great Escapes. This was definitely one case where Mother knows best.
My first cupa joe from Great Escapes was a Toasted Hazelnut White Chocolate Mocha made by Billie (the owner). She's super-friendly, remembers all her customers' drinks and resembles a young Kimberly Williams (Mrs. Brad Paisley). The espresso bean she uses there is roasted by 'Doma', a local certified organic roaster that for my money gives the best Seattle roasters a run for their money. Doma has a smoothe, sweet chocolatey finish that tames the sweetness of the white chocolate and complements the toasted hazelnut syrup perfectly.
Since that first cup, I have had at least 40 more of the same. No matter who makes it, Billie, Mikaela, Angela or Tara, the quality has been consistent. All the baristas have been well trained at adjusting the shots for different weather conditions and strive for the perfect pour. Most other stands I've been to in the area don't know their crema from a crouton. Angela, Mikaela and Billie all have amazing memories as well -- they remember even small changes I make to mine (like going non-fat) and I have reason to believe that they do that for all of their customers.
Great Escapes is easily accessible from both Ramsey and Hayden and there is room for four cars to queue on each side. Even when there are eight cars in the lot though, the line moves fast enough so that you won't be late for work.
Pros: Lovely ladies and craveable coffee.
Cons: Relatively a bargain compared to Seattle, but it's still 3 bucks for a cup of coffee (plus tips, of course)
