Lots of choices: gelato, shakes, coffees, teas, homemade cakes, cupcakes & pie! The folks here are uber-friendly, engaging & eager to please. Oftentimes you'll be served by the lovely owner/baker herself, Teaghan. My husband, a long-time huckleberry shake connoisseur, had a religious experience with the shake here. I had a slice of the homemade 'Northwest Berry' pie - perfect crust, filled w fresh fruit. We're looking forward to enjoying the whole menu throughout the year. The outdoor patio has seating under the giant trees with a view of Bigfork Bay & people watching on busy days. And, bonus, in addition to the outside area, there's a small seating area/dessert nook with several tables that joins The Marketplace to the Bigfork Inn dining room. We usually have no problems finding a parking spot on the street nearby. Stays open late to cap off a beautiful Bigfork day.

We came here because we wanted our after dinner treat before heading over the Bigfork summer playhouse (aside: it's amazing! We saw Footloose, and our daughter who normally falls asleep since these events are so late, stayed up riveted the whole time). There was a long line and it did not move quickly and service was not particularly friendly. To the reviewer who said the following comment, you get a gold medal: "Montana's SMALLEST scoop of ice cream." You are CORRECT. The portion is freaking tiny. Our daughter got some gross cotton candy flavor that we can't abide, but we went for a huckleberry cup and huckleberry milkshake. The ice cream itself had huckleberries that were so frozen that they crunched unpleasantly--like they had been added from a freezer bag. The milkshake, on the other hand, tasted like pure vanilla because the proportions were all off. Bottom line is that the people have spoken and this place sucks! Two stars. No thank you.

So we've been to Grateful Bread many times. Every, single, time, we leave disappointed, not in the food but in the service and the wait. The food is okay. Honestly, because of how long you have to wait to get it, I'd expect something out of this world, but it comes out as run of the mill eats. At this point, we know what to expect when we go in. What GB has going for it, is that there aren't a lot of options in town. Last week we went in before hitting up Harvest Foods, saw that there were just three tables of people and thought, ok, let's give it a shot, surely we won't have to wait TOO long. We were short on time so we ordered two Avocados toasts, one with bacon. That's it. With only three other tables in the house, it took 30 minutes. As we sat there, about 6 more tables came in. With ONE waitress. With also whom I can presume is the owner as I've seen her time and time again, also bringing out food, there was absolutely no hussle. Listen, I worked in food service for a decade. When I worked, I moved. People were waiting to have their order taken. The bell would ring that food was ready and it would sit there. The owner surely could have been taking orders too. Heck, you could even give the tips to the waitress! Maybe there is a worker shortage in Big Fork, I don't know. But girl (owner), you gotta be hustlin' to make up for it. And no offense to the waitress but girl, you too. Or hire a busser, someone to bring out food and cleanup, ring people up. In any case, it's always this way. We hadn't been in a few years and gave it a shot again. As we were walking out, I said "well that wasn't THAT bad", as in having to wait that long for food and watching people just sit there in silence wait for the waitress and then their food is a good thing. Also, not to be petty, but as a deadhead, I take a minor offense to you using the name and not being vibin'.

Having never been there before I wasn't sure what kind of coffee drinks were available, but they had a decent selection so I ordered an iced caramel coffee (bonus in my book). We ordered a cinnamon roll to start and share, then our main plates. We received the roll before my coffee even though I ordered the drink first; probably because the barista at wasn't stationary position and was taking other orders. It was then that things slowed down a bit after a large table was seated. Once we received our food we were over-all happy with everything. Though my husband was disappointed in the potatoes O'Brien since the onion and peppers were just added to the top of the regular breakfast potatoes instead of frying them together. I'd say 8/10, we would go again if we were back in the area.

Check the board for the soup and home-baked item of the day. We discovered some gems that way, like the chicken and rice soup! You can also get half of most of their sandwiches, which delighted me. As did the tuna melt, and their iced tea on a hot day. Everyone comes to eat here: tourists, locals, on bikes, in trucks, from all around. If you arrive at lunchtime, you may encounter a wait but they have plenty of trees to park yourself under until it's your turn for a table.

Hearty, freshly baked toasted bread topped with pesto aioli, sliced avocado, and pico--it was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. I wasn't convinced the pico would be a good addition but it was pitch perfect. The service was friendly. The shop is very small.

For Flathead I had their Centennial IPA which I really liked a lot. I can get burned out on IPA'S pretty easily as they are everywhere but this summer (summer of 2025) I have had a hankering for IPA'S off and on. The Centennial proves to be a refreshing one for me the few times I have had it and firs the bill quite well for that occasional IPA hankering I've been having. Flavor highlights in this beer are hoppy, malty, floral and sweet (naturally sweet tasting). It's a very well balanced IPA with these features. The beer is also smooth in body. I look forward to returning as Steve and I are bound to pass through the area again but more for the purpose of sightseeing on that trip.
