miFLAVOUR's Story
While we all know the classic tale of boy meets girl, this one has a journey to the sweetest of ends. Max and Ella Piskun met and began dating several years ago. Ella, an accomplished pastry chef, made Max the now-famous Adeo Jr. for their second date, it was truly love at first bite. Max immediately knew creations like this deserved to be shared beyond their kitchen, and with his entrepreneurial drive the idea of opening a modern French bakery in Spokane Valley began to take shape.
As their relationship grew, so did the vision. After getting married, they founded miFLAVOUR, a French-inspired bakery and café serving Spokane and Spokane Valley. Through long nights, kitchen mishaps, and plenty of laughter, they built a place where guests could enjoy fresh pastries, handcrafted desserts, and specialty cakes made with care. Today miFLAVOUR has become a local destination for macarons, cakes, and desserts for everyday treats and special celebrations alike.
What miFLAVOUR Offers
miFLAVOUR is a Spokane Valley bakery and café offering a wide variety of desserts, pastries, beverages, and custom services. Guests can enjoy fresh Italian gelato, freshly squeezed orange juice, delicate macarons, buttery croissants, and decadent cakes made daily for in-store pickup and special occasions. miFLAVOUR also provides corporate gifting, wedding desserts, custom cakes, and catering throughout the Spokane area.
What makes miFLAVOUR different is not just the range of flavors, but the commitment to craftsmanship. Every item is created from scratch by hand — from cake decorations and candied oranges dipped in chocolate to the finishing garnishes placed on each pastry. The bakery prioritizes locally sourced ingredients whenever possible while also importing select specialty ingredients when quality demands authenticity. The result is a French-style bakery experience where every dessert is made carefully, intentionally, and fresh for the community it serves.Â
A True Parisian Bakery
Is miFLAVOUR a true Parisian patisserie? The answer is a resounding YES! Ella and Max wanted to make sure that the bakery and café they envisioned would be true to its inspiration. So, they packed up and hopped a flight to the City of Lights itself. They spent several days wondering the sights, indulging in every patisserie they could find, and realizing exactly how on point their direction truly was. Their creations back home were so perfectly exact in replication of the French ones from Paris, that even those who have lived there can’t tell the difference. It was leaving that amazing place that was truly the biggest disappointment of the trip. But they knew to finish creating their incredible dream, they needed to come home so they could bring Paris to the States.Â
Thrilled to be a miFLAVOUR employee
Ella had worked in several commercial kitchens and seen on a firsthand basis how often food workers are not treated well. Sometimes their treatment is downright dismal at best. Max, on the other hand, came from a professional company that not only treated its employees well, but praised and promoted hard work. His company offered growth and validation for the employees who tried hard and did their best. Max and Ella both knew that by offering employment to people based in kindness, validation, understanding, and offered growth and promotion, they would attract potential employees who would want to do their best and build a business that they could take pride in. Ella and Max have done just that. Their employees love to come to work and take great pride in everything they do at miFLAVOUR.

Every time I go in there, the staff is so cheerful and helpful. The business itself is beautiful and impeccably clean; the display of goodies always immaculate and enticing. I feel like a kid in a toy store when I walk in. I haven’t yet bought something that I didn’t just adore.
