As a lifelong resident of Spokane Wa. with 5 very progressive kids, I can tell you all of the cool places to " hang out!" From ages 12-54 we have personally tested these venues on many occasions. We will tell you what we love about them, and WHY!
- BethAnn's pick: THE LAGUNA CAFE' on the South Hill 4302 S. Regal ...Dan and Debbie the owner's of this great place are superior restaurateur's. How do I love Laguna Cafe' let me count the ways...the service, the hospitable beautiful yet casual atmosphere, the great food, the expertise of wine selections, the gift selections, the live music (Thursday-Sat. nights) and the home made soups! Did I mention free wireless Internet? Yes!
- Maggies South Hill Grill on 29th! OMG the food is better than mom's home cooking! Maggie herself is a delightful red head who always makes sure you feel welcome and have hot coffee!
- Bill's pick: The Rock City Grill! locally owned by Jim Rhoades, this place is " rock steady" and located conveniently in the Riverpark Square.
- The Empyrean Coffee Pub (Kevin's pick age 24) 154 S. Madison Downtown Spokane frequented by every cool teenager and young adult that loves coffee, live music, and the kids you might not find in other name brand coffee shops. Unique, locally owned, free wireless, beer on tap, open mic, poetry readings, art, a great concert venue.
- The Caterina Winery:905 N. Washington A place that frequently showcases budding young musicians, live music Thursday-Sat. Great wine selection that is made on site!
- Any Rocket Bakery! perhaps...the worlds best cookies? Several locations in Spokane!
- Madeline's cafe' and Patiserrie 707 West Main Downtown Spokane look no further for earth shattering pastries and much more. Perfect place to stop for coffee while shopping downtown Spokane!

As time goes on... we will add to the list. We especially appreciate the locally owned businesses and restaurants in Spokane, Wa.
