    10/10 Great vegan options. The house made black bean falafel was very tasty. I had the wrap turned into a salad and it was great. They also had a coconut corn chowder that was delicious. Their scones are yummy. Just really authentic and home made food with good ingredients. Great portion sizes. The service was fast and friendly. It is cute and cozy in the cafe. I would definitely recommend!

    Cute place with great tasty food and service. Our waitress checked in on us multiple times, 10/10 service and delicious food! Glad we stopped before heading to the airport, perfect last meal before our travel day!

    "Mike just makes the soups; she does everything else", said the waitress. Well Mike, those are some fine soups. Tasted the split pea and carrot ginger soups and I can see why they take so much time. The quiche of the day was solid including the GF crust, which must have been made by Mike's better half. They make a good team.

    Coffee anyone?

    The Knead Cafe lives up to the hype and if you don't mind waiting to get a table, you'll be highly satisfied. It's a small place yes, but it's got a rustic and quaint feel to it. The staff was upbeat, energetic and really appeared to be flowing as a team. The food was great, and we were there before 10am and we were able to order from the breakfast and lunch menu. I think the lesson is, you can't and won't go wrong. The portions are not only large and intense, but they do a great job of letting flavors fly and compliment each other. The Sante Fe Hash, the Veggie Breakfast Burrito and Black bean quinoa falafel wrap were all loved. With specialty toast, brilliant soup and a fresh fruit bowl, we couldn't have had happier taste buds and tummies. Highly recommend if you have a chance. Enjoy! *I do see reviews about its location and agreed it's not the most obvious, but it's far from hidden. Keep your eyes peeled or follow your GPS and I promise you'll get there just fine.

    Probably my favorite breakfast spot in town. Friendly staff and lots of good options on the menu. Got the waffles and they were really good. Came with fresh fruit and a generous portion of bacon on the side. Menu says it is TWO WAFFLES but it was really HALF A WAFFLE with two squares from a waffle make that does 4 squares per waffle! That was really my only complaint. Ordered the "sticky toffee pudding" and it was good but it was more like chocolate cake with a hint of toffee inside. Inside was fun, playing jazz music with various posters of bands and artists from years past. I would come back!

    We just went by the reviews here while trying to find a restaurant on the way and kalispell was mid…read moreway to our destination. Boy the reviews don't lie! This was our best pick! It boasts of barbecue style sandwiches and menu and this place was packed on a Friday at 3pm! Hosts looked like are the owners of the place made every effort to go above and beyond to seat the guests and look after them. They have the bar seating facing the kitchen where we occupied the last 2 seats remaining in the restaurant getting the live action right in front of us. We ordered the PBJ (pork belly jelly bites) and brisket cheese steak sandwich with jalapeno mac n cheese on the side. Both the dishes were amazing and we will surely stop by here again when in the area. The whole sassy sandwiches section look like a must try. Only thing we will try to avoid here is the desserts that were not bad at all but because we saw them being made in front of us now we know it is just assembled we may not order more of that. We got the huckleberry peach cobbler and banana pudding. Both the dishes aren't really made from scratch and had we not seen how they're assembled we may not judge it too harshly.

    Server Kaylee G was horrible. I can see she's overworked and overwhelmed, and even though she took…read moreforever to get to us every time and it was impossible to flag her down making our meal last 2.5 hours when we're on limited time on our trip, I tried to be really nice to her, when I made simple, normal requests, she gave me an unsmiling look and made me feel very uncomfortable. I think she needs more training in service. The owners were very nice and exemplified what I think service should be. The bacon mac was not good and rather flavorless. Mac & cheese is one of the benchmarks of a good BBQ place. Collard greens I think had BBQ sauce? making them very tangy and not good at all, almost inedibly sour for me. They tasted better the next day mixed with other things. Elk sausage came smothered in more BBQ sauce and mustard. I wish these were on the side so that I could control how much sauce was on there. Cornbread seemed good but if I really looked at it, the cornbread was rather bland and the server instructed us to put honey on it. Well anything is good when you pour honey & butter over it. Loved the decor. I think because they're so busy, it became quantity over quality, unfortunately.

The buffet was well stocked, with a nice variety of chicken, shrimp, and vegetarian dishes, along with salad, naan, rice and desserts. Overall, the flavors were enjoyable and well-seasoned. The only downside was that the chicken was a bit dry, though still flavorful. One nice touch is that beverages are included with the buffet. We ordered a mango lassi and masala chai, and both were absolutely delicious --definitely highlights of the meal. The dessert selection included carrot pudding and ras gulla (pillowy, spongy balls soaked in syrup), fruit salad and 2 other unlabeled square bars. While they appeared authentic, they were a little too sweet for our taste or lack of flavor so we weren't as excited about that part of the buffet. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was comfortable. We also appreciated how the buffet was set up and maintained. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and we'd be interested in coming back to try some of their à la carte menu items next time.

    I haven't been to Panera in several years and I think this is my first time coming for BREAKFAST…read more Arrived and the building is HUGE. It was 8am on a Wednesday and the place was EMPTY. I wondered how they stay in business. Walked to the self service computer monitor and placed my order. Placed my order but was NOT given the option to have a receipt (not even an emailed receipt). They did have a barcode to scan and track your order on your phone so I did that. It let me track my order but had no receipt option. So I had to go to the counter and ask for one. Order came out pretty quickly. This is what I ate: 1 - latte - this was the best thing I ordered and was pretty good. Right amount of froth and temperature was good. Quality espresso as well. 2 - Croissant bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. This was a pre-made breakfast sandwich that they heated in a microwave. Similar to what you would get at Starbucks. Nothing special, just ok. 3 - Cinnamon roll - I saw they advertised a "new recipe" for this and I enjoy a good cinnamon roll and gave it a try. This was the WORST thing I ordered. It was cold and tasted like something I would buy at a grocery store. Would never food ANYONE for being fresh or homemade. There are better options elsewhere!

Great idea, actually, and the first couple of bites, I thought, hey, this might be a winner. Then the aftertaste started. Then my wife asked how the steak was, and I realized I hadn't found any steak yet. Lo and behold, after digging through it, I found the steak was actually a tiny steak, well, I'll call them flakes. I knew that because of the color, not the texture, they were too small to determine texture. My wife and I discussed it after studying the tiny flecks for a while, and we had to assume that was my steak. No thanks, I tossed it and looked for something to get the taste out of my mouth. I guess I am just not a sophisticated eater.

Not so at Sunrift, though. The beer is just okay. Nothing to really write home about by any means. The Chislic was good--though it wasn't much of a garlic butter sauce so much as a bunch of chopped garlic with a bit of butter. Excellent cook on the beef though. The real sticker though? This is a place with really pro-LEO vibes and if for whatever reason that isn't your cup of tea and you wish you'd read that somewhere beforehand? Now you know. I wish I had--it would've influenced my decision to spend my money here. I'm not a local and I can't imagine I'll find myself back at Sunrift, but maybe it's for you?
