If you're in downtown Kalispell, Sweet Peaks Ice Cream is always a great place to stop by,…read moreespecially on a hot summer day. The ice cream is consistently creamy and delicious, and the flavors are unique and refreshing. My personal favorites are the huckleberry and espresso- a perfect combo of fruity and rich! The best part? You can get a split flavor, so you don't have to choose just one! The staff here are always super welcoming and friendly, making the experience even better. The ambience is cozy and laid-back, with both indoor and outdoor seating available, which is perfect for enjoying your ice cream while soaking in the sunshine. If you're in the area, don't miss out on this gem. It's a great spot to treat yourself to a scoop (or two) of some seriously good ice cream.

We are big fans of Sweet Peaks!…read more But when we came here after dinner at Bias Brewing, we were a bit unlucky. They were out of huckleberry sauce and huckleberry ice cream, and had very few flavors compared with our visit to their Whitefish location. The ice cream we did get was still great but summer in Montana is all about huckleberries, and we were disappointed not to find any here in the night we visited.

The display was super cute, and what I loved about the cupcakes is that they are normal sized, like you'd make at home. We got 3 different flavors, cookies & crème, carrot cake, and two of the lemon. They were fantastic! The flavors were delicate and the frosting was not overly sweet. Anytime I come across their food truck, I know what dessert will be that night! What is even better, they are women owned and their story of how they started is meaningful and a cause I want to support!

You do not expect a small town in Montana to have a bakery like this…read more So many cool and unique options, and easily some of the best baked goods I've had. The coffee is great too -- nothing that completely blows your socks off, but definitely solid and gets the job done. Would absolutely recommend it to anyone with a sweet tooth.

Fleur is so stinking cute. I absolutely love the aesthetic of this place…read more I always try to stop here when I'm in the Whitefish area. The baked goods and coffee are both so good, and they even have some gluten free and dairy free options which is a huge plus. We tried a few pastries and everything was delicious, but the standout was the huckleberry cream cheese danish. So good. I also love that they make their coffee syrups in house. The latte was really yummy and the foam on top was beautifully presented. The staff is seriously so kind and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better.

The secret of this spot isn't the chocolates, but the BOOKS!…read more Trivia: What unique element is included in every book with the price of the book? Super helpful counter help. Ask about the special, rare, signed books. Horse by Geraldine Brooks, several Neil Gaiman hardcovers. And a Longfellow book that looked awesome. Plus so many others. Books are well organized. It is a little cramped, especially if the spot gets more than 10 people mulling around. So not really a place to stop and consider books. And yes, there are chocolates in the back.

Great aesthetic!! What could be better than chocolates and books?!? The candy is very rich and…read moreflavorful. So many kinds and flavors!!

This is pretty much the only self serve frozen yogurt place in Kalispell. This and the Red Caboose…read morein Whitefish snipe all of the competition for frozen yogurt. I like being able to try my flavors before getting them and they have a lot of add ons that you can try before you put them on as well. They have non dairy options which is always nice when you are lactose intolerant. They seem to be open pretty average hours and in summer it may be later. Summer is when this place tends to get busiest but who wouldn't want frozen yogurt when it is near 100+ degrees out!? They have other kinds of little snack options to choose from but as far as their variety and flavor goes, good selection. I haven't been enough to have had dealt with a ton of employees but that sounds awful about what one of them did to that little girl's headband.

Well, this place went downhill. It's dirty and messy. My hubby and I get froyo whenever we travel,…read moreso we've been to a LOT of different froyo places, and this local one is the dirtiest we have ever seen. Splatters and drips all over the place. The toppings are spilling into each other and not being maintained. The yogurt's texture isn't right - all the flavors were more like a soft sherbet than a creamy frozen yogurt. One positive is that the cashiers were friendly.

The flavor was very subtle and the ice cream was a bit grainy. However, the homemade waffle cone it came in, sealed the deal. One of the best cones I've ever had. I would come back here just for the cone. Also, they are very generous with the scoops. I had one, and skipped dinner because I was so full.

Trivia: Ceres is known as a dwarf planet but I think the mythological connection makes more sense…read more Who is Ceres in Roman mythology? The live planter in the back is super cool! Really makes the seating area come to life! Ha! The cooler with ginger beer and kombucha had one small flaw: there were no nutrition facts. The baristas/bakers didn't have much to say on the matter. So I didn't get one. Service was friendly. It was fast. Definitely a good spot to duck into as one works their way along the shops on Main Street.

We were looking for a coffee shop to do some remote work/planning together and stumbled upon Ceres!…read moreIt was recommended by a few of my family members as well, so we thought we'd give it a try! When you walk in, fresh smells waft over you and it makes your tummy rumble (at least it did mine). All their baked goods are very fresh and look delicious! My only qualms are with the coffee and atmosphere. Either our coffees were burnt or we just don't like the roast (I got a caramel latte, she got a chai latte). We still drank them because they weren't absolutely disgusting, they just tasted off and not something you'd want to drink regularly. As for the atmosphere, the space was very cute and well laid out - there are plants and paintings throughout to bring color and joy. However, Carolers came in for about 15 minutes.. with brass instruments! I understand "tis the season" and I love the Christmas spirit, but I also don't want a trombone blasting music 10 feet from my table on a lazy Sunday morning... a little disappointed Ceres allowed them to do this, but I also don't want to be a Scrooge... If you want a good cinnamon roll or breakfast sandwich I think this is the spot! But maybe temper expectations for coffee? Might just be me, but also worth a visit if you want. Happy Holidays!
