    Bring your own Tupperware's!
    Alison G.

    Absolutely loved the build your own salad. The warm breakfast bowl was fantastic too. The pesto stirfry was tasty, but mostly rice. We would've liked more veggies. They were happy to put our to go orders in our own Tupperware's. Save the Earth! And we absolutely love the bone broth! The strawberry rhubarb smoothie sounded tasty. The only thing that can make it better is if they had fermented veggies!

    Shared a salad and a smoothie with my husband, we both were full and very satisfied with the quality of the ingredients and the flavors. So much freshness-love it! We do wish they had tofu as a protein choice, but the lentils they had were very tasty and cooked firm so they had that nice robust filling quality to them. would def come back here!

    Yum delicious breakfast! Glad I made it before noon to order! Love that they ask if you want extras or substitutions and even if you have allergies. Indoor seating is limited and it was busy during the lunch hour. Order a head and enjoy!

    Almond butter and jelly smoothie; americano.

    Clean and open place - loved the display of all the fresh ingredients. Service was fast and friendly. I ordered a smoothie and americano and was shocked at the relatively low price for both - but I am from Seattle so take that with a grain of salt. Americano was appropriately strong and smooth. Smoothie (I got the almond butter and jelly) was obviously very fresh and had some great flavor. It was just south of room temperature - I personally prefer my smoothies a bit colder. Definitely would swing by again.

    Pricy but fresh salads with quality ingredients. This restaurant has lots of greenery with their decor and feels organic yet chic. Casual spot for lunch or breakfast but seems to get lots of takeout business too. Smoothies are okay- feel like the flavors are good but not great. I tried the half salad, buffalo cauliflower and it was fresh, filling, and delicious. A little skimpy on the cauliflower, but the salad consisted of mixed greens, cherry tomatos, celery, purple cabbage, croutons, gorgonzola, and a yummy ranch dressing. Nice healthy spot but seems a bit overpriced for what it is. Maybe try getting a full salad and splitting it in two meals.

    Quaint place to drop in for a bite to eat. The soup of the day was delicious but the bread was very dry and must have been sitting out for awhile. A bit over priced for what you are getting. Curious about their salads to try next time as that is what they are more known for. Would recommend this place for lunch or a snack.

    Basel is a cafe in Missoula serving healthy salads. We stopped here for lunch one day while on a national park road trip, while craving something lighter and healthier. The menu consists solely of salads, so there isn't much variety if you are craving a salad but your friend is not. The eatery is casual, and you order and pay at the counter before receiving your food. They have two or three outdoor tables, and more tables indoors. I had the cauliflower salad and was not satisfied at all with this salad. The ingredients seemed fine, but there was so little cauliflower or anything else that could have been filling in this. It was mostly just a bunch of salad greens. The pieces of cheese were tiny crumbled slivers. My husband got a chicken salad, and his also was very measly with the portions. We regretted coming here and left still feeling hungry.

The pastry case is impressive with a huge selection of pastries, bagels, and goodies, including massive pies that are hard to resist. Coffee and tea options cover all the standard classics, plus some fun twists that keep the menu interesting. The coffee is good for the area but nothing outstanding. The space itself is large with plenty of seating options, and it never feels overly crowded, which is a big plus if you want to sit and relax for a while. Unfortunately, the service has gone downhill. The baristas used to be incredibly friendly, remembered drink orders, and made you feel genuinely welcome. Lately, it feels rushed and impersonal, like you're just being pushed through the line with little acknowledgment. The experience has been very hit or miss, which makes it hard to want to return regularly. Overall, amazing pastries and pies, solid drinks, and a great space, but the inconsistency in service is what keeps this from being a frequent stop for me anymore.

After we ordered, however, we were bummed to find them promoting anti-ICE ideology in a prominent way at the front counter. Can't a coffee shop just make good coffee and not get political? If not for having political things a prominent part of the experience, I probably would give this place five stars. But it takes away from the experience if, even when you are just trying to get a drink and a bite to eat, you must ascribe allegiance to some cause or some political agenda. Typical Missoula I guess. I just would love to be able to have a relaxing time getting a cup of coffee and nobody carrying whether my values are democrat or republican, ICE or anti-ICE.

It has a cool, modern coffee shop aesthetic with a clean layout and a good amount of seating. The ambiance is definitely a highlight and makes it feel like a place you'd want to hang out. Unfortunately, the coffee and service didn't match the vibe. The drinks were underwhelming and not particularly memorable. Service felt rushed but also slow? It was a big game of hurry up and wait. On top of that, staff is not very warm or welcoming. Nothing outright rude, just not friendly or engaging. Overall, it's a visually appealing spot, but based on my experience, the quality of the coffee and the service are what hold it back. I may give it another try, but it didn't win me over the first time.

They are a specific craving for me pretty dang often. Why? Because I love the burrito mixture with the SAUCE. I order, and because I have only so much time to eat in between patients, I ask for the sauce on the side so it all doesn't get soggy. I put specifically *sauce on the side* Then pay even more for ANOTHER sauce on the side in effort to get them to realize I want a SAUCE ON THE SIDE. More times than not, they have forgotten. The only times they haven't is when I ask the dash driver to confirm. In a moment of severe craving at work yesterday, I said heck with it, I'll order a burrito. Guess what?! NO SAUCE. I called in and in my most pleasant voice, I asked to speak with a manager. I was told they were busy but they would take my number down and have her call me back. NO call ever came. I was complaining to a coworker and sure enough she says "oh, that happened to a coworker last week." After that, I went and checked the reviews. Sure enough there were multiple complaining about not getting sauce on the side. At this point I'm questioning if the employees are just that dense or is this just full on laziness? I'm being ripped off every time for something I shouldn't even have to pay for in the first place. Won't be going back. Definitely won't be suggesting to visiting friends and family either.
