Excellent food. So delicious. The service was very friendly! Love being able to sit outside or inside. It's on a great street for browsing. Highly recommend! Get Huckleberry bars! read more

I love it when small establishments hit one out of the park doing something simple, but doing it very well. This was my experience at the Central Ave Bakery & Deli for lunch today. I ordered the Adobe sandwich (with no onions, please), and I enjoyed in greatly. The size of the sandwich was perfect! I hate it when some places think that "more is better", giving you a huge sized sandwich (or burger or meal portion) of fair or sub-par quality, instead of focusing on something good, and then providing a normal-person sized portion. This sandwich was about the size of sandwich I would make myself, however the quality and taste was over-the-top good. The turkey had a sauce that was like chipotle-mayo spread, with a little zing to it. The lettuce and tomatoes tasted fresh, and the pickle was way-cool-pepper-spicy. Loved it! The staff was super friendly, and the restaurant itself is very charming. Loved everything about this place, and I hope to experience lunch here again. read more

What a cute little deli and bakery in downtown Whitefish. We stopped here for lunch and both my husband and I got the Adobe sandwich which is turkey sandwich with pepper jack cheese, chipotle mayo and tomato and onion grilled on wheat grain bread. I got mine no tomatoes and my husband no onions. The sandwich was warm and delicious. The cheese was melted and the bread toasted. It was just a good sandwich! The staff/owners are super friendly and the dining area is cozy and clean. read more

Not super high quality. Great service, decent selection, but most items are sort of "meh." I don't taste a lot of real butter and other real ingredients. The mini cookies are the star. read more

Not sure why this wasn't our first choice for breakfast or bagels....everything was exceptional! Scones, fresh bagels, service....atmosphere! read more

I got the Best BLT which was amazing! Great service too! All the workers were so kind. For the BLT the bread was crunchy but not too tough to bite into, and the bacon was nice and crispy. To go with my sand-which I got the gluten free bit sized cookies that were only 25 cents and to die for! Overall 5 stars I would love to come back if I ever come back to Montana. read more

Gosh I love this place. We ate here every single day for breakfast on our vacation (5 days). The bagels and pastries are delicious along with their vanilla lattes. Everyone is so nice and remembered us and asked about the events we were doing while in whitefish. The jalapeño bagel was incredible, and so was the chocolate croissants. All of their quiches were delicious too. 12/10 recommend to stop in to this cute mom and pop type place! You won't regret it Also, very accommodating to gluten allergies! read more

Good pastries and service. Very cute little cafe, table little wobbly but it's all good, gives it character. Coffee good and strong, people very friendly. Would come back. read more

Great sandwiches and soup. Came too late at lunch for the chicken salad, it was all gone! Can't wait to try the pastry.

Great service and excellent sandwiches. Loved the Adobe and Reuben. Very friendly staff and quick service. Super Clean

Good place. Decent pastries and the V sandwiches were spot on. Had an Italian and a Cuban. For dessert we had a chocolate croissant and a huckleberry Bear claw. read more

Very kind staff! My wife and I were greeted as soon as we walked in. I unfortunately did not get the name of the gal that helped us bud she was very kind! I got the club sandwich and my wife got the veggie wrap with turkey added. The sandwiches were a great late lunch while visiting Whitefish! I highly recommend a stop in for a pastry, coffee and/or sandwich! read more

Delicious bacon/onion/cheddar scone! The everything bagel was better than most I've had in NYC!

We picked this place for lunch out of all the other places to eat and we weren't disappointed! They have gluten free bread which you can substitute any sandwich with. You can toast any sandwich, and they're gluten free muffin was nice (Not dry like you'll get at Montana Coffee Traders) I hope they can offer more gluten free baked goods as i have myself wheat sensitivities. But, regardless this is an amazing cafe with really friendly service! read more

Great food, great vibes. We must have changed our to go order a few times and the girl working at the counter was just amazing - patient, good natured, and super helpful with suggestions. No wonder this place is an institution. read more

excellent hot capicola breakfast sandwich and excellent veggie breakfast burrito. Everything was hot and fresh. the hot cap definitely gave the breakfast sandwich a lot of flavor. we ordered a croissant and the staff toasted it up for us. Warm flaky croissants are the best. all the staff was courteous and attentive. we did not encounter any rude staff. read more

Simple, quality pasties for breakfast. Picked up some sandwiches to take into GNP. Worked out really well. Friendly staff.

Nice place with great coffee and a number of delicious huckleberry based breakfast bakery items. Had a fantastic huckleberry scone. read more

Cute little cafe in walking distance to our super duper hotel. The food and coffee were great, once the staff managed to get us the items we actually ordered. Anyway, I whish them good luck and success, but please, wake up and smell the coffee. read more

We love this place! The food is great. Prices are reasonable and service is the best. The owners are so kind and both of them skilled bakers! The breakfast burritos are my favorite due to the spinach tortilla. So good. read more

The best Ruben since 2001! Fabulous bread, great amount of meat, wonderfully melted cheese, perfect amount of dressing! And sweet staff!

Not even sure about the food. They accidentally threw out my ticket and after waiting 15 mins, I'm waiting 10 more. If it was my store I'd throw in a pastry. I guess that's what happens when you let kids run your restaurant. read more

We walked into this place by chance and ordered a latte. It was delivered quick and was absolutely perfect. It beat the pants off Starbucks. We decided to order lunch and got a cob salad and turkey sandwich. While the order was simple the product was fabulous. The salad was a work of art and almost to pretty to eat. It was sensational with the best homemade dressing ever. The sandwich was so good I devoured it in minutes--- it had a spicy cheese and dressing that I would love to be able to make. To top it all off we had a huckleberry scone which should not be missed. The taste snd texture were truly amazing. We plan to visit again this week to order the same thing. Friendly, smiling, happy owner. read more

We were driving through and stopped here. I have weird food allergies. When I ordered, the owner and staff were so polite and willing to adapt their menu to my weird allergies. So kind, no complaints. It is so rare for me to meet such accommodating chefs and staff. The food was delicious! I had a salad and my sweetie LOVED the cheesecake. Thank you so much for your excellent service with a smile! We'll be back on our next trip through!! (They are hiring!! Must have gotten rid of the meanies mentioned in other posts. ) read more

Of all the places I had breakfast in this town, this was my favorite. It's not fancy (have to bus your own table) and the menu isn't large but the food and pastries are very good and reasonably priced. I would recommend any of their croissants, adobe sandwich, and caramel pecan roll. read more

A great little find in Whitefish. Reasonably priced food/drinks in a tourist driven town. Freshly made. Very good service. Recommend the chicken corn bean soup. Very casual. read more

Fast service. Nice food choices. Soup of the day was very tasty. Has free wifi also. Friendly staff.

I felt this place was average, not bad, but average. With all the really good places in Whitefish there was nothing at Central Ave. Bakery that will draw me back. Sorry but it's just Ok read more

This place has the best bagels in the Flathead valley. They are the perfect texture and flavor. All of the baked goods I have gotten from their case have been excellent. The bubbley-blonde girl who works the counter most mornings is the nicest cashier in Whitefish if you ask me. I will keep coming here for breakfast sandwiches, pastries, coffee and the warm service. read more

Great food, but even better customer service! We enjoyed this cute little deli so much we ate here twice during our five day stay in Whitefish. The first time we had breakfast (their quiche was delicious, and their breakfast sandwiches have a variety of options available - it was also delicious). We came back for lunch and had a BLT - which had fresh lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and generous portions of both bacon and avocado - and black bean tomatillo chili. Twenty five cent mini cookies were the perfect end to our meal! Come to this deli - your belly will thank you, and you'll enjoy the friendly employees. read more

Incredibly impolite staff. I feel bad for the owner, as front-line people in retail can make or break your business if you're depending on repeat customers. read more

Busy cafe during the breakfast hour... The girls were still very friendly to all. The bagel and lox tasted great and fresh. I would definitely come back next time I'm in Whitefish! read more

I'm not sure why this place has 4 stars. The breakfast burritos are amazing and the baked goods are insane.

Central Avenue has the best bagels in town. I also love their croissant breakfast sandwiches and vanilla lattes. Yum! I call in my order and pick it up on my way to work. The staff is friendly. This is definitly where the locals stop for a quick breakfast or to grab something on the go. read more
