Blogging Live from Bakery by the Lake

I’m in the process of discovering a new place in the downtown Coeur d’Alene area — Frank (and son Andrew) Pigott’s Bakery by the Lake. It’s in the old Insta-Print’s building at 314 N. Third St. Andrew’s at the counter. Frank’s baking. The shop features rustic breads, baked in a deck oven. Also, European pastries — scones, muffins, etc. I’m about to bite into a mixed-berry scone. Also, Italian roasted coffee and a traditional scratch bakery. The Pigotts opened shop 10 days ago and are introducing one or two products every other day. Frank sez the biz will be operating with a full line of tasty products within three weeks. I’ll be here for about an hour. Drop by and say, hi …

Update: Several residents have dropped by to thank the Pigotts for opening a bakery in the neighborhood. One couple had just worked out at 24 Hour Fitness (or whatever the old Sta-Fit is called now). She lamented: “Did you have to open so close to the gym?”

Update 2: I’m now sampling the Poticelli extra virgin olive oil on fresh French bread that’s for sale at Bakery by the Lake. Yum.

MamaJD: Okay, as someone mentioned yesterday, DFO has the best job around. Do you have to flaunt it so much? Why don’t you start dropping by and visiting with a regular commenter once a week. Bringing fresh muffins, pastries, specialty breads and/or coffee would help gain entry. You could visit our worlds for an hour or so. See how we incorporate HBO into our daily lifestyle. Did I mention that you could deliver muffins, pastries, breads, etc? Or just go back to suggestion A: Stop flaunting!
