Food scene
Le Peeps is always busy which is a good indication that the restaurant will not disappoint. The staff is friendly and there is a wide selection to choose from while you sip on your latte or mimosa. When the weather is good you can sit on the patio and take in the Spokane River watching the boats and kayaks go by.
