I'm not proud of this fact, but I'm a total fan of Liverwurst - and when I learned of the Alpine Bistro, I just had to go - I just knew they would have great liverwurst!
Our visit did not disappoint. We enjoyed a nice lunch in the little cafe - my husband had the German cold cuts & cheese sampler plate and I had a liverwurst sandwhich - the breads were amazingly fresh and perfect, and the meats were terrific, prices were reasonable.
The atmosphere is simple, so don't plan on any fancy dates here and certainly no private conversations - its a little cozy.
The German store offers a large assortment of wines and beers, cookies, candies and other great stuff, but the best part are all the German meats & cheeses - we've sampled about 6 different kinds so far and all have been terrific - exceeding our expectations for taste/texture and quality - prices are a fair. Given my husband and I have lived in germany - we are always seeking German brotchen (little german roles) though the alpine doesn't make and sell an exact match for a german brotchen, they do offer a very close match that is perfect with their meats.
We'll definately be going back, and were pleased with the friendly and helpful service as we shopped all of their different meat choices! -

What a pleasant surprise!
This place is very similar to a quaint little shop-of-all-foodstuffs-German that you'd expect to find somewhere like Leavenworth (*cough*cheesemonger*cough*) but without the exterior Bavarian posturing.
All manner of cured German meaty goodness can be found here:
Land Jaegers? check
(dozens of) Wursts? check
"scary" meats like headcheese? check
They have the widest selection of German beers in Spokane hands down. If there is a German beer imported into the state of Washington, you can probably find it here. They even have multiple kinds of Rauchbier! (if you have to ask, I'd recommend you don't blind buy these).
And the deli portion: they have all manner of sandwiches and meat/cheese platters here. My friend got the "Putz" which is a roast beef sand which with cheese and horseradish, it was absolutely stunning. I got a wurst plate, which had a little bit of everything (I had no idea what I was eating 3/4 of the time, but that didn't stopped me from wolfing it down).
The only downside? You can drink beer while you eat, bummer.
NOTE: this place is only open "banker's hours", think 9-5ish with slightly more compressed hours on Saturdays. -

Great German deli in the middle of Spokane.
It's the place I go to get my fix for German hot dogs (wieners) and Bockwurst. They carry products from the Bavarian Meat Delicatessen in the Pike Place Market, Seattle.
Grab a sandwich from the deli and while your there check out there selections of German wines. -

Craving some German grub, I found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a shot for lunch. Not that I had much choice, the only other option in town has a Spanish name and a reputation for serving dishes resembling dog food.
Note that while a previous poster mentioned they're open until 5:00 p.m. or so, they stop serving hot lunches at 2:00. I rolled in just past this time and didn't want to be a bother, but they still happily sliced some German lunch meats and cheese that were served with two small hoagie rolls, spicy mustard and mayonnaise.
I can't say I was impressed with the dish. The meats basically tasted like baloney to me and the cheese wasn't anything special. However, I am betting that the sausages and hot dishes are well worth the trip. So until the time when I get to try one, I'm keeping it at 3 stars.
It is worth mentioning that the amount of imported German goods is bordering the ludicrous. The selection of German beers is astounding; and that of the chocolate is mouth-watering. They also have a bunch of trinkets and toys, as well as a decent selection of wines from around the world.
