Just happened to meet the baker from Chapps dropping off the fresh pastries... All hand formed and baked in the wee morning hours... The vanilla bean peach scone peaked my interest matched up with a delicious mug of coffee. Meeting friends early on a Saturday. Wonderful place to sit, breathe and slow down the week! Great fast service!

What a great place to work remotely for a few hours, study, or just have some alone time to read. I needed a place to work for most of the day since my hotel check in time was at 3pm and I flew into Spokane in the morning. I ended up here and there was a great amount of space …

This is my go to place for not only Coffee but great conversation… The vibe is super amazing and the food is truly so yummy but I would be remiss not to mention the owners… Because they are the reason I keep coming back.

The staff were very accommodating - very clear with helping you clarify the food and coffee options. The coffee is nice - they have a unique flavor - butterscotch latte. The best one is the vibe - it is a nice relaxing hang out place in the middle of downtown Spokane. Don't miss this one when visiting.

I wish we had such a place in our own city. The interior design is modern, it reminds me of the famous …

Delightful espresso cafe & hybrid work center - worth the trip! Indabo is a wonderful and airy cafe space with lots of seating. Perfect for meeting friends or teleworking. They could invest in comfortable seating however. Their biggest flex - for me - was their high end Slayer espresso machine. As expected, the espresso was quite smooth. They offer quite …
