In North Idaho, the "good stuff" is often on wheels. From the heart of Coeur d'Alene to the quiet streets of St. Maries, our local food truck scene is exploding with flavor. But let’s be honest—tracking down a roaming kitchen shouldn't feel like a scavenger hunt.
At North Idaho Food Trucks (NIFT), we’ve done the heavy lifting for you. We’ve updated our master directory to ensure you are never more than a few clicks away from your next favorite meal.
Featured Vendors to Watch This Month
Our community is growing, and the variety has never been better. Here are a few standouts from our updated list:
Japanese Cuisine with a Twist: Visit Samurai Kitchen in Coeur d'Alene for a modern take on Japanese street food, specializing in Japanese curry, sushi, and noodles.
The Best of the Panhandle: Check out Pow'Waw Foods in Post Falls or Spicers in St. Maries for reliable local favorites.
Catering Experts: Planning a spring wedding or corporate event? Kalbria Grazing Bar Catering and Braised! Catering & Bar in CDA are currently topping our referral lists.
Unique Vibes: Stop by the Post Falls Pavilion to visit Friendly Islands Kava for a drink experience you won't find anywhere else.
Find Food Near You
We’ve broken down the North Idaho panhandle into easy-to-navigate town directories. Whether you are a local or just passing through on Highway 95, we’ve got you covered:
Coeur d'Alene & Post Falls: The hub of the local food truck movement.
Athol & Spirit Lake: Catch the trucks fueling the northern communities.
St. Maries, Priest River, & Bonners Ferry: Supporting the vendors that keep our smaller towns fed.
Why We Do This (The NIFT Mission)
We call it "Signal in the Noise." Most food trucks are owned by hardworking chefs who would rather be behind the grill than behind a computer screen. We provide the digital infrastructure—from this directory to custom website development—to make sure these local businesses get found, booked, and trusted.
