Vault Coffee
324 Sherman Ave, Coeur d'Alene, ID
Crema's Take
“Vault Coffee is a charming downtown Coeur d'Alene spot where creative seasonal drinks like the White Pumpkin and Neapolitan shine, backed by knowledgeable baristas who clearly care about specialty coffee craft. The vintage atmosphere and reliable pastries (that maple coffee cake gets real love) make it an inviting place to linger, though consistency with espresso fundamentals seems to vary depending on who's pulling shots that day. If you're seeking Instagram-worthy latte art and imaginative flavor combinations over strict technical precision, you'll find a genuinely friendly space worth exploring.”

Notable dust in the window sills and cobwebs on the chandeliers. In my experience of working in restaurants, this is part of a larger issue of not thoroughly cleaning in general. If the visible areas are dirty, imagine what the unseen areas are like. The seasonal coffee flight was overpriced and underwhelming.
The coffee here is not a lot better than SB. The person at the register did not know what a flat white was. She just gave me a latte. They burn the milk and the shot is bitter. Atmosphere is great. They need to work on the barista training though.
The seasonal drinks were amazing! We tried the White Pumpkin and Charlie Brown, and both were delicious. I also loved the latte art on top—it was a nice touch. I gave it 4 stars because the croissant sandwiches were just okay; I probably wouldn’t order them again. The barista was very helpful and recommended the drinks we ended up loving. The place isn’t the cleanest, but it does offer plenty of seating. If you visit, definitely try one of the seasonal drinks!
Nice spot downtown. Latte was good and maple coffee cake really good. The maple "icing" was much less sweet than a typical donut shop and paired much better with the coffee IMO. Spouse liked the berry shortbread also. Recommend.
Super cute little place and lovely decor. If you like specialty coffee, this place is for you… We were recommended the Neapolitan and it didn’t disappoint very friendly, knowledgeable, and fun staff.
