Far-North Coffee Lodge, Bonners Ferry ID

My Fiancé, and I went there yesterday for the first time to use a gift card we were given for Christmas and now I have the worst food poisoning and they were the only thing we had besides dinner which was leftover lasagna from the night before so unfortunately the obvious culprit is this place I would like to try it out again to see if it was a one time thing but unfortunately they are closed on the days I have off and I'm having to miss work because of this so I don't believe I will be coming back. Also not very friendly employee.

The food and beverages are unparalleled. It has a welcoming and cozy atmosphere with open seating. Did I mention the food is amazing? 10/10. The baristas do an amazing job.

Food and drinks are to inconsistent and has progressively gotten worse since opening. I like to get the red yeti that is a signature drink. 75% of the times it was perfect and good. Other times they were slightly curdled and sometimes very curdled. The last two years have been the worst to the point I basically quit going but still went occasionally due to the convenience. My second to last visit I called my order in, when I got there the drive thru was empty so I used it. I could see two employees one young man and young woman laughing around and on phones. Not once in ten 10 minutes did they even attempt to look out the window. No bell to ring and I couldn’t reach the window to knock. I left with no food or drink. I later called the phone number listed on the website and got no response, I then sent a text message like they say you can do to make a comment or ask questions. I still have not received even a text back almost a month later. I then made the mistake to go again and they completely made my drink wrong, I think because they know me and know I drove off. I even tipped every time hoping they would one day make my stuff correctly. I will not be returning to this establishment nor will I be going to any of the other businesses connected with the owner as I find that extremely bad business practice to not respond back to a simple phone call/text. All I said was I visited the coffee lodge today and had something happen and that I needed to talk to someone.

I think they forgot about our coffee order people who came in after us (3) got there bigger orders first it's cool it happens

The food is terrific, and I enjoyed it so much after traveling from Calgary, after hitting 32° on the way. The team was so nice and helpful. I needed the food that sustained me until my next stop that day in Eagle, Idaho.

LOVED! Worth making a stop! Their biscuit sandwiches are bomb! They also have good free wifi and let us sit and work for a while
