I'm plant based and it's been a long time that I've been crippled by indecision when ordering due to so many amazing vegan options. I've NEVER experienced it in Montana but market on front has SO many delicious options for every dietary preference. I decided on a portobello pesto sandwich on ciabatta and it was 10/10. The bread, texture and flavor were perfect! Although I was just visiting, I'd be shocked if there were a better sandwich shop in this town. There is also a grab and go and souvenir section that's very convenient. It was busy and we did have to wait a while for our orders but it was so worth the wait. If you're craving a sandwich or a wrap, this is your place. read more

Great vegetarian options and the sandwiches are both tasty and huge. Self service (order at the counter, grab your own waters, etc.) and kinda slow delivery but for the price, you can't beat it for an easy lunch. read more

They had a couple of vegan options listed on their website, so we decided to give them a shot. I had a delicious salad and my husband had the portabello sandwich, which was quite memorable! They also had a coffee bar and a little market with locally made items. You can walk to the Clark Fork River or anywhere in downtown from their convenient location. read more

Market On Front - Buddha Bowl - Delis Near Me - Missoula, Montana

Food was supposed to be ready by 12:50pm. I arrived at 12:46pm only to be told that both items of my order are unable to be made due to missing a key ingredient. I received no prior call notifying me of this even though I put my order in at 12:05pm. I see no reason why I was not called and notified of this instead of showing up expecting to pick up my breakfast and hiking sack lunch only to find NEITHER had been made nor could be made. This is not the first time this has happened. A call would have been appreciated and it would be nice if the ordering website was kept up to date to show when items were out of stock. read more

Market On Front - Vegan Avocado BLT - Delis Near Me - Missoula, Montana

Breakfast done right! I stopped into Market on Front this morning and was immediately glad I did. The vibe is warm and casual--perfect for easing into the day. I ordered the Spicy Pig breakfast sandwich and a classic drip coffee, and both hit the spot. The Spicy Pig lives up to its name--savory, just the right amount of heat, and layered with flavor. It's the kind of breakfast sandwich that doesn't skimp on quality or portion. The coffee was fresh and bold, no fuss needed. Service was fast and friendly, and the space has a great balance of cozy seating and natural light. Whether you're grabbing something to go or settling in for a relaxed start to your morning, this spot is a win. Can't wait to come back and try their lunch options next. read more

Market On Front - Coffee wall - Delis Near Me - Missoula, Montana

There were several vegan and vegetarian options. We ordered the VLT breakfast sando which came with vegan bacon and tofu and vegan chipotle aioli. I would highly recommend. And also the veggie burrito. It was pretty busy on a monday morning. It took a while for our food order to come out. We sat outside, where most of the tables were taken. read more

The food is, generally speaking, very good. They have a lot of different options and it's usually well made. Their biggest issue is that, although the staff is usually very pleasant and friendly, they seem to have a lot of turnover and it feels like half the time we go in, we're dealing with someone new. This also means that the service is often exceedingly slow, even when it's not particularly busy. I know they must be aware of the problem because they'll often warn customers that there's going to be a 30, 45, or even hour+ wait. It also doesn't help that some of their servers aren't the most observant and, on more than one occasion, I've watched a server walk by our table with what turns out to be our order only to take another two or three laps to notice us and our order number (which is always just sitting out in the open at the edge of the table). read more

We were in Missoula for a few days and this little gem was very close to our hotel. It was so nice to have this market/cafe a very short walk away. Their coffee was great and they also had some great herbal iced tea. I was so happy to find a selection of veggie sandwiches and subs on the menu. The one that I had was really good and very fresh tasting. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was the very slow service. Usually, I don't care, but for those who just want to grab something quick, it would have been a problem. Wish we had more time in Missoula. I would have tried something else! read more

Waited over one hour for our food. One hour plus for sandwiches!! Worker alleged that a machine malfunctioned! Which one, your brain? These are sandwiches! So unnecessary! Wasted time here - stoned workers misplacing the bread knife! Too high to care! read more

i was looking for a nice sandwich place and Market on Front stood out. I ordered a grilled cheese and they said it would take 20 mins so i left and came back. when i came back they had my food in a warmer to ensure it was kept hot. the sandwich itself was good as it was a good portion size and had a good flavor. read more

Market On Front - *Grilled Cheese - Delis Near Me - Missoula, Montana

Really long wait times - it's a busy spot located in a busy part of town so I guess you have to expect this a bit but do beware. We came in for breakfast and waited about 10 minutes to order and then 20 minutes for our food. The breakfast burrito was fantastic and quite large, and the angry bird breakfast sandwich was perfectly spicy and huge. I will say their croissant does not feel like a croissant but rather a biscuit had a baby with a croissant. Their coffee and chai was great though and they made those quite quickly. We came back again later in the day to pick up PB&J's and PB&Honey for our river float and were surprised to have another 30 minute wait midday. I get its first come first served but was surprised something so simple took that long to make. read more

Really having a hard time deciding how many stars to give. Our food was excellent, we loved the vegan breakfast burritos. Quality was great and it had lots of flavor. The portion was fair, though I did wish it was just a little bit bigger. The wait was about 30 minutes after ordering, which was frustrating because we watched many other groups order after us, eat, and then leave while we just waited. After about 25 minutes or so we asked the server, she was a bit dismissive and told us "that's a normal wait time." For a fast-casual coffee shop I wouldn't expect to wait that long, at the very least I would've liked a heads up from the cashier when we ordered. After seeing other reviews it seems like wait time is a common issue. Overall, the food was quality but I'm not entirely sure if we'll be back. Maybe if it's slow or we have a ton of time to kill, because the burritos really were good. read more

Super odd experience. Exterior // nothing to really elaborate on. It's very basic glass windows and a sign out front. Parking // so this is questionable. Monday through Friday you either pay for street parking or pay in the adjacent parking garage. However on Saturday and Sunday parking is free both on the street and in the adjacent parking garage. Interior // interesting layout. Not the best logistically. When you enter to the left they have where you can buy market items and sweatshirts. The counter is directly ahead to the right. You stand in line you order your food they give you a number and if you ordered coffee you have to go to the end of the counter to wait for it. The seating area is extremely small and very under prepared. People while I were there were dropping chairs, cramming 10 people into a small 4x4 table, tripping over my chair because they weren't paying attention, Etc not a pleasant dining experience. Food // so I really wanted to like this place. I really wanted it to be like catalyst. The problem is the food is subpar. And when I asked for it to be presented on a plate the lady behind the counter stared at me like I had spoken to her in a foreign language. I had to explain to her a plate a styrofoam plate a paper plate a plastic plate a ceramic plate some kind of plate. And she says to me well usually we just wrap everything up in a burrito. Told her I don't want all my food mixed I would like it on a plate. After considerable conversation she was able to bring it out to me on a recycled paper plate of sorts. Very odd experience. The food was cold. Scrambled eggs were cold. Potatoes were cold. The avocado was supposed to be cold and was room temperature. Overview / Conclusion // I can honestly say my friends and I will never be back to this location. What a disappointment. Between the lack of seating options, lack of understanding in the customer service area of what a plate is and the cold food that I think they were counting on the microwave heating up if I were to get it in a burrito form. There's just no reason to go here when there's so many other dining options. This is a hard pass for me. read more

Only reason I'm not giving a 5 rating is because they have the gall to charge .50 cents to cut burrito in half! I know it's not a lot but come on now! What's next, charging to wrap it? ‍‍ read more

Hubby and I had breakfast and tea/coffee pretty much every morning while staying in Missoula. The vegan breakfast burrito is delish! We shared it and felt full and satisfied for hours. We also tried the vegan burrito and the vegan blt- all excellent choices. Coffee and Tea flavors were great, too. Staff was friendly and the food always came out fairly quickly. Highly recommend! read more

I was hoping for better but maybe I had the wrong thing. The wraps looked awesome. The chicken in one of our salads was really dry. Service was really good. I'd give them another try and order a wrap. read more

My son and were in town for a cross country event. After searching Yelp for some good lunch, this place stood out with some good looking sandwiches and being downtown which we wanted walk through. We saw people sitting in the entree way when we arrived. I asked them how long the wait was. 30 minutes was the reply. Yikes. Well, this a market too, so we thought we'd get some drinks for race recovery and eat somewhere else. But I saw the sandwiches people were eating and they looked really good. The people who take your order are super kind, so when we went to pay for our drinks, I asked about the wait for a table. She said it was a wait for the sandwich as seating was where we wanted. Oh. I looked at my son who said it looks good, so we ordered a sandwich an ensured the wait. Mine was meatless, Hippy something or other. I'd had plenty of meat at breakfast so I went for that. My son ordered something piled with meat. I forget what it was. We tasted each others and agreed that they were both great sandwiches. I ordered a latte as well and it was good. Was hoping it would keep me awake for the ride home. We had a good experience. Plenty of self served ice water which kept my athlete hydrated, nice seating area and a good vibe to the place. If ever back in Missoula, we'll stop here again. read more

This is a casual coffee shop/market area. It is a nice spot to grab a coffee, quick and healthy meal, as well sit and study. They have a broad menu, but the breakfast burritos are a hit! I think the wait time is too long, and parking is questionable. Overall, it is a good, casual place to eat. read more

Nice salad bar, the store is clean and well organized and the service is what you expect from an upscale grocery store. People are generally polite and helpful, but not super gregarious and friendly. read more

The case of the disappearing breakfast burrito... For years these breakfast burritos were weekly ritual, reliable, delicious, and conveniently, located near work a.k.a. dangerously easy to justify every single Monday. They were the kind of comfort food that made mornings less offensive. But lately? Something has gone... Terribly tragically wrong. First, let's talk about the burrito itself. Prices have gone up which fine. Inflation is out here doing its thing but in a cruel twist the burritos have also shrunk. And yet somehow there's still enough tortilla to wrap around a small toddler. The result? A giant doe shell performing an interpretive dance around a surprisingly tiny amount of filling. Less burrito more blanket. Then there's the texture situation. Two weeks in a row the eggs and potatoes had the unmistakenly vibe of we were cooked during a previous administration. Chewy tired, and emotionally unavailable. Breakfast should not feel like a reheated memory. And the real kicker... My coworker two weeks in a row now took one bite of her veggie burrito. pause reflected on her life choices and then threw away 3/4 of it. This is someone who wants ate a questionable gas station sandwich without blinking. That's how you know. It's honestly heartbreaking. The place used to be a downtown. Legend, a shining beak and a breakfast Joy. Now it feels like a burrito and impersonator wearing the original clothes. Where did our beloved burrito go? Is it on vacation? Can we get it back, please? We miss it. read more

Ate here for quick breakfast! Great food, quick service and tons of options! They even have snacks for your adventure for the day and some grab and go options! Great stop before you go out for the day. read more

This place has fairly decent reviews so we stopped in during our visit to Missoula. The staff at the front was super friendly however, the food was truly the smallest portions I've ever seen and was not good. I ordered the breakfast burrito bowl and it came out with lukewarm warm microwaved eggs (about half an egg), 10 small breakfast potatoes and a very small portion of breakfast sausage. The only substantial portion in the bowl was the spinach. When I asked if I could get more potatoes and sausage, the girl working being the food counter was very rude and told me that "everything is pre portioned and there's nothing she can or will do". I didn't take a picture of the bowl with the toppings because I didn't think about it at the time but took a picture after to show how much spinach is in the bowl. Lastly, my coffee was honestly terrible. Would not recommend this place. read more

If you are downtown Missoula do not miss this place. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and you'll be happy you grabbed one of their breakfast burritos! Meat and veggie options. I opted for the sausage and egg and wow. Fantastic! The sausage was spicy and flavorful. The burrito was actually to big for me to eat. Order at the counter and they bring your food out. Super quick service, less than 5 minutes. Self serve drip coffee. Cute place to with plenty of seating both outside and on the sidewalk. I may be back tomorrow! read more

SOOOO TASTY! My partner and I actually dropped by 3 times to get some drinks and goods. The last visit we had was to grab a bite. Their sandwiches continued to look glorious so we had to try it out before we left the state. The cashier let me know that it would take 30 minutes for the sandwich to come out, which was fine. We lounged while observing that every single ingredient was quite fresh and made on the spot. I do wish they were better about estimating the time it took to make a sandwich. My sandwich took over 40 mins to come out and my partner, who ordered his sandwich a few minutes after waiting a whopping hour. A gentleman who had ordered his sandwich around the same time had to also wait over an hour. We got the philly sandwich and the founder which WERE SOOO GOOD. My tastebuds were dancing in its happy place we had both tried hundreds of thousands of sandwiches at this point and these tasted so unique~ We were both famished so that added another dimension of taste haha read more

I came here on a Thursday morning for a late breakfast. I got a cold brew and a vegan burrito. I'm not vegan but it sounded appetizing. I was told it would be a 15-20 minute wait for the burrito. I wasn't in a hurry so I was okay with that. Cold brew was really good coffee. Vegan burrito was huge and delish. Full of veggies and tofu. Ambiance is nice and they have outdoor seating, as well. It was pretty crowded when I was there and I shared a bigger table with someone inside. A great spot downtown and if I lived in Missoula, I would come often. So be prepared for a wait if you order food, though. read more

Don't come here if they're "busy." They had probably 10 guests eating breakfast and refused to add avocado to any breakfast options because that would slow down the kitchen. read more

Some of the best vegan food I've ever had. The staff was super cool as well. All around amazing atmosphere.

Great spot to grab a hearty breakfast burrito and coffee! I got the vegetarian burrito and a cold brew. Strong & good flavored cold brew and the burrito was packed with veggies and was delicious. Loved the chipotle aioli which added a unique flavor! They are freshly made burritos so expect about a 15-20 min wait. They have a bunch of grocery items for sale as well and an outdoor patio if you aren't in a rush. I definitely recommend their breakfast and would want to try to sandwiches if I'm in town again! read more

Born (1995) and raised in Missoula, and have never left a review anywhere in my entire life. I have been a customer since ~2015. Simply put prices continue to rise, customer service continues to fall and quality and care of food continues to drop. I used to rant and rave to almost anyone who asked for a local Missoula recommendation for a casual but elevated food location, I no longer do so due to listed concerns above. My interpretation is they no longer care to cater to the local Missoulians who made them who they are to today. Long wait times, high prices, poor food preparation and abysmal customer service doesn't matter when the average customer they are serving is simply staying in the various surrounding hotels or passing through Missoula, and then leave (possibly never to return). I understand everything in life is increasing in price, but that means you should do everything in your power to make sure your food preparation and quality remains excellent and consistent. It means the training, leadership and customer service of your team members should be excellent. But unfortunately as the prices continue to rise the food quality/consistency and customer service seem to fall just the same, while wait times continue to rise. As someone who has worked in leadership for a large part of their adult life, you can see the leadership and accountability is near non existent. There never seems to be anyone in leadership steering the proverbial ship and most times you can find who I believe to be the owner sitting at the back table doing who knows what during rush times. Again I understand prices are increasing across the board. Although that only means all other aspects of a customers experience, who is paying a high price, should be much better than what they currently are and have been for years now. It's sad to see and hate leaving a review like this but if my family and I are going to continue to do business here, and recommend this location to people, something has to change. read more

This restaurant is located downtown so parking might not be available in front of the establishment. We went there on a Saturday for lunch , which tends to get busy. You order at a counter and find a seat to wait for your order. We split the Hot Hippie and a cup of creamy tomato soup. Both had a great flavor and hit the spot. There are also items prepackaged to take on a picknik by the river. read more

This is a popular spot in the area and I can see why. I had their breakfast burritos two days in a row and they definitely hit the spot. Hearty and tasty...

I eat here every time I'm in Missoula which is about twice a month. The Hot Hippie is one of the best sandwiches in Missoula, in my opinion. The Focaccia is always fluffy but crispy on the outside and made in house. I don't even like focaccia, and this bread has my heart. The staff are super friendly and knowledgable about the menu and honest about wait times. This place gets busy during lunch and there's a reason for that. The coffee is great too. read more

Food was meh. It's a cute store with a lot of potential. Def fits the Missoula style and vibe! Their scramble was disappointing but the burrito was decent read more

Amazing food. Excellent breakfast bowls that are gluten and dairy free. Anytime I visit Missoula this is my go to breakfast stop.

I came here on a Sunday at 11am and this place was super busy! Market On Front is a market, deli, coffee shop, breakfast, and lunch spot. It's right in the downtown area and is a great place to sit down and eat or drink coffee if you can snag a spot. You order at the counter and they'll give you a number and find you when your food is ready. I ordered the fruity bird sandwich ($11) although I was debating between that and the chicken florentine which also looked good. The cashier said, "Definitely the fruity bird, I'm obsessed with it" and that was enough to sell me! I don't know if it was because I just did a hike and was starving but the sandwich was delicious! The sweet caramelized onions and the salty bacon go well together as they always do. I think what really made this sandwich for me was that date preserve that gave more complex flavors. It was so good that I devoured the whole thing. I also ordered the iced cold brew coffee ($2.75 for 16oz) which was good as I needed the caffeine. They also serve wine here and have free wifi too if you're looking to get some work done. read more
