Good service! Everyone was kind and welcoming. The restaurant is beautifully designed and has a…read moregreat atmosphere. They played great music too. I also really appreciated that they offer several vegan options. I ordered the Creamy Blue Smoothie and the Banana Walnut Oatmeal. The oatmeal was absolutely AMAZING--perfectly cooked, flavorful, and easily one of the best breakfasts I've had here. It's the item I'd recommend to everyone. The smoothie was good overall, but the fresh mint was a bit overpowering and left an aftertaste for me. I think it would be even better without the mint or with less of it. I also appreciated that they use compostable straws, although mine was cracked when I unwrapped it. Later, I came back for lunch and ordered the half Brussels Caesar Salad with the vegan protein. The vegan protein (chickpeas and lentils) was delicious, and the half portion was surprisingly large. I also liked that the dressing came already tossed throughout the salad. One thing I found a little confusing was that the Brussels Caesar uses a vegan dressing but is topped with cheese, so I'd be curious what substitution is offered for guests ordering it vegan. The bread was good, although the butter was served very cold and was difficult to spread. A few suggestions that could make the experience even better: * Add a larger "Basal" sign above the entrance to make the restaurant easier to spot. * Install a large wall-mounted menu inside for easier viewing. * Keep tables and chairs wiped down throughout the lunch rush. The restaurant was spotless during breakfast, but by lunchtime several tables and seats needed cleaning. Given the price point, I'd expect a bit more attention to dining room upkeep. Overall: good atmosphere, friendly staff, and good food. I recommend the Banana Walnut Oatmeal.

Come in the morning when they have the most options because they sell so many throughout the day (rightfully so).

Unfortunately, my recent visits haven't lived up to what it used to be. The donuts don't seem as fresh or high quality as they once were. They were noticeably drier and denser than I remember, which was disappointing given how good they used to be. The flavors are still creative, but the execution just isn't quite there lately. Service also felt pushy and a bit rude, which was a contrast from the friendly experience I remember in the past. There's no seating inside, so it's strictly grab-and-go. I really hope this is just an off period because Veera used to be excellent. The concept is great and the selection is impressive, it just hasn't been hitting the same recently.

From the very beginning, Kelsey made the planning process easy, smooth, and stress-free. She was wonderful to work with and helped ensure everything came together perfectly. On the day of the event, Mira provided fantastic service to our family and friends with a smile and great energy. The variety of ice cream flavors was so much fun, and throughout the evening we heard rave reviews from guests about the rich, creamy, delicious ice cream. Absolutely recommend the Espresso Heath and Huckleberry flavors. So yummy! Having the ice cream truck at the party added such a fun and memorable touch to the celebration. The combination of Big Dipper's delicious ice cream and outstanding customer service made the experience even better. We couldn't have been happier and highly recommend Big Dipper for any special event!

The line can get long, but it moves quickly, and you get a perfect view of the mountains from the tables while you wait or eat. They serve cones, cups, shakes, and even pints and quarts to take home. The flavors are incredible, especially their seasonal and rotating specials. The huckleberry is my favorite ever, and the white mint Oreo is phenomenal and super unique. It also makes an amazing shake. Parking in the lot can be a little tight, but there's plenty of street parking if you don't mind a short walk. This place is just awesome. Great ice cream, fun atmosphere, and such a classic Missoula experience.

I also love that you can create your own spice combinations by selecting jars off the shelves and bringing them to the counter to have the salespeople measure them out for you.
