Both get the question.

You know there’s another ice cream shop two doors down?

They opened within a week of each other on North Fourth Street in downtown Coeur d’Alene. Of course they know.

That is, they know now. It was a surprise to both parties in the spring when it happened. But nearly five months later, they’ve gotten used to the idea.

Two ice cream shops. On the same block.

Abi’s Artisan Ice Cream opened April 1. Sweet Peaks Ice Cream opened April 8. There’s a bar between them. But the owners of each say that’s not all that separates them/Adriana Janovich, SR. More here (subscription).

Question: Have you ordered an ice cream at either of these shops?
