    The food and service was amazing. The atmosphere overall was very warm and cozy. My mom said it reminded her of her childhood :) i forgot to take photos of the food cuz i just ate it all the second it landed in front of me but believe me it's really good!

    Don't blink, you'll miss it.

    We came here on a recommendation from a guide (Cory) at Minnetonka cave. Awesome food, Great price. Sure there is more gourmet in garden City, but if you want a tasty burger at a better than fair price, this place is a win! We've got a new burger joint when we are in town.

    Little Mom and Pop market and gas station with a cafe in the back. You might miss the cafe if you didn't know it was there and you would not want to miss their home cooked breakfast, lunch & dinner! The prices are great, we had 2 meals, 2 coffee's, one soft drink and our bill was a little over $18 bucks. PLUS they are pretty much the only place open during winter for about 20 miles. They are open from 8am - 8pm. The market has a good selection too! If you want a delicious, inexpensive meal then this is the place to go.

    What a great little spot! Nice people, good food, and a memorable stop for breakfast on our way from SLC to Jackson.

    The shakes were great. Burger & fries were outstanding. Don't let the appearance fool you, this place is the real deal.

    Moose Buns - Mocha frappe and cinnamon roll

    Moose Buns was hands down one of my favorite food discoveries in Garden City! We stopped here early…read morein the morning before heading out to kayak Bear Lake, planning to simply grab a coffee and something quick for breakfast. I had no idea I was about to become completely jaded when it comes to cinnamon rolls! I ordered the caramel walnut cinnamon roll, and WOW. It was absolutely incredible. The roll was soft, warm, gooey, and covered with delicious caramel and walnuts. Every bite was ridiculously good. I honestly have no idea what they do differently here, but this cinnamon roll has officially become the standard that every other cinnamon roll will now have to compete against. The coffee was also a great addition and made this the perfect quick breakfast before starting our day at Bear Lake. I love finding local places like this when we travel, especially when something as simple as stopping for breakfast turns into one of the most memorable parts of the trip. Moose Buns has officially earned a spot on our Bear Lake must-visit list. From now on, whenever we're staying in Garden City, this will be my first stop in the morning. If you love cinnamon rolls, do yourself a favor and try the caramel walnut. Just be warned--you may never look at another cinnamon roll the same way again!

    Most delectable latte I've ever had (strong and sweet). The steak breakfast burrito was also yummy.read more

    We had such a great experience at Coffee and Crepes in Bear Lake! Everything we tried was SO tasty,…read morebut the bakery treats were especially yummy. We got the raspberry cream pie, a no-bake cookie, and a sugar cookie, and our whole family absolutely gobbled them up. They are short-staffed for the rest of the season, so there was a wait for our food, but they were incredibly upfront about it. There was a note on the door, and we were reminded several times before ordering that the wait could be around 45 minutes. We knew exactly what to expect, so it honestly wasn't a problem at all. Our family just shared everything as it came out, which ended up being really fun because we got to try so many things! The biscuits and gravy were probably the BEST I've ever had in my life. Seriously so good! We also tried the Nutella crepe, raspberry crepe, the Classico, and another crepe with dark chocolate, and every single one was delicious. Definitely worth the wait. Come with a little patience, enjoy the slower pace, and make sure you don't leave without trying something from the bakery!

    This place has basically lost all its charm for me. i left an amazing review years ago and in the…read moreyears i've been back since it's been a steep downhill decline. I have always cut them slack in my mind because the poor employees were serving so many guests out of essentially a shed; but even with the massive new building they still have no clue how to run anything. every single year that I come here it leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth. at this point, you know youre a busy establishment. it's time to hire more people ??? train them better??? employees have no clue what they are doing. you walk in and no one greets you, tells you what to do, where to go, how to order. me and a group of 4 came in and ordered today, the first time we've been here where it's been generally pretty empty, i'm thinking this is a great sign and maybe this year will finally be a good experience! our group of 4 ordered iced coffees and given buzzers. our experience was waiting 40+ minutes for our buzzers to go off while so many people we saw sit and get their food way before us. not sure if crepes go faster than other food?? just sucks sitting there watching new tables sit and leave in the time none of us have had a buzzer go off ?? so we finally walk inside to see what's happening and all of our coffees are sitting on the counter melting. this is where i stopped and instantly started writing bc WTF!!! the order taker never said anything about how our drinks would come out. all we were told is the buzzer would go off when our order is ready. we were never asked our names even so if they were calling for the drinks i'm not sure what they would even call ?????? i get that the buzzer system and drink system should be different , then tell your damn customers "hey we're just gonna leave ur drinks to melt if you go find a seat outside so be checking the front every once in a while" i got a blended drink and they really just thought to leave it there ??????? the bathrooms were also disgusting and had no paper product in them ?? it's just every year i come here it seems like no one knows how to run the place. employees are clueless and sluggish. have been here for over an hour atp and the free water jugs with fruit in them would have been a nice touch if there were actually water in them ?? again this is an empty restaurant today. employees sitting behind the counter talking and no can refill the water jugs out here?? the coffee is the only thing saving them a single star. the coffee is genuinely good, i got a blended iced vanilla latte and if i had a chance to drink it actually frozen it could have saved me from this review. i ordered a BLTA and it should be renamed miracle whip sandwich. the wettest mayonnaisey thing i've ever eaten. i think they know they have a monopoly over coffee and breakfast lovers and they need to get out of their own ass and make some improvements, clearly we have a budget with the new building.... i'm just always so disappointed when i come here.

Be patient as it takes a while to receive orders. They are known for their traditional danish Æbleskiver's which are essentially pancake balls. They have a variety of flavors and toppings, sweet and savory. They also have a lunch menu as well as breakfast items besides the pancake balls and an assortment of drinks, juices, coffees, housemade flavored waters. I got the beach babe water, very strawberry forward. I will try something different next time. The Æbleskivers were well prepared and my entire family enjoyed them. I'm not a big fan of pancakes, I prefer a crispy waffle. The stand out of our experience however was the friendly service from the woman taking our orders. She was so welcoming and talkative even though they were very busy. It was our first time here and she treated us like local friends. Once she spotted our dog she immediately searched for her dog treats and offered one. While we were waiting for our food I asked for a small cup of water for our dog. A minute later the woman who took our order walked out with a large, clean dog bowl filled with cool water. It really put a special touch to this darling place. Even though I dont even like pancakes we will return just because of the hospitality. BTW, check out the adorable shack filled with crystals, candles and lovely jewelry. You won't be disappointed!
