Between miles 11 and 12 on the North Idaho Centennial Trail, in the Atlas Waterfront neighborhood west of Coeur d’Alene, there’s a new café in town. DOMA Coffee Roasting Company, a local craft coffee roaster and long-time advertising supporter of Out There Outdoors Magazine, opened the doors of its café location on August 15, 2024.
The DOMA café can now serve your pre- and post-adventure fuel needs in the form of excellent craft coffee, a curated food menu featuring favorite local bakers and chefs, and a great atmosphere to unwind or exchange route notes. With a sweeping view of the Spokane River and local pine-studded hills, the DOMA café provides stylish indoor and outdoor patio seating just a few steps from the North Idaho Centennial Trail.
A good café is a place to create community, somewhere to gather with friends and chat about life. “It’s an opportunity for us to contribute to our neighborhood being a rad place,” says Muir Harrison, DOMA CEO. “We envisioned a place that would be warm and bright in the cold, gray months. Cool and light during the hotter seasons. Vibrant, full of life, art, sounds, textures and tastes.”
Some of that art and taste comes in the form of café bites made by Back Pocket Bakery, Boots Bakery, Locos, and Mimi and Frankie’s Kitchen. Local tattoo artist Jacob Redmond of Fourth Street Tattoo has tricked out the bold green La Marzocco espresso machine at the coffee bar and added art around the café space. A kid-friendly corner with a wooden toy coffee station, large windows for natural light, and enough houseplants to fill a greenhouse are a few other touches that make this a great space to gather.
Stop by the DOMA Café to experience the variety of coffee they have to offer, all brewed via dialed-in techniques and recipes. After your morning or afternoon fuel, walk along the river or continue about 3 miles to City Park beach in Coeur d’Alene. Grab a coffee, croissant, and pedal on. (Lisa Laughlin)
