    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.

    Good, service and ambiance. It is hard to believe that Yelp named this the best cafe in Montana in 2016. Maybe that is what killed it.

The dining area is fairly large and comfortable. Feels very old school but also happened to have someone playing the piano with some classic western ish vibes if you know what I mean that really gave this more charm. Food is very generous and definitely recommend splitting the prospectors breakfast. Chicken fried steak, a monster biscuit, hash browns and two eggs with gravy is a lot to take down. Even if you were to do a long after, not sure you can burn off this many calories. Chicken fried steak is good - thin and crisp but with a breadcrumb like crust instead of the floured stuff I'm used to getting down south. Sausage gravy is flavorful and a classic pairing but you can also opt for brown gravy instead. The biscuit is moist and a good utensil to soak up the gravy. Eggs and hash browns needed seasoning - there's no salt on it so add it yourself but the griddled crisp on the hash browns were good. Some of my friends got the home fries but noted they weren't that great so stick with the hash. Accessible parking downtown and a good stop to fuel up!

Honestly, seeing that it was never not busy says a lot about how well this place is doing! We tried the burrito and the Shifty, and the Shifty was easily my favorite.

I especially loved that they had several GF/DF options, which can be surprisingly hard to find. It made it so much easier to actually enjoy a full breakfast without having to settle for one option. Great coffee, great food, fun atmosphere, and clearly a local favorite. Definitely worth stopping in if you're in the area!
