Lake City is a restaurant with a bakery counter inside. On the day of my visit it was packed. I just walked up to the counter and said I wanted 6 donuts and let me tell you, UH- MAZING! So soft and delicious. The people at the counter were just the sweetest. I found that it's best to park around the corner and walk the short distance to the shop. Also try to be quick as it gets packed inside on a weekend and there is not a lot a room to wait or walk around. It's a cozy place. The prices were reasonable as well. read more

Heard good things, but the food was cold, and the bakery goods were stale definitely will not be coming back. I tried it twice. read more

Hometown Phil. Great pastries. The service was professional and personal and the ambience exactly match the whole venue. It will help yourself to the coffee but once you did, the waitress would bring you more. read more

Super little place. I arrived about 30 minutes before they opened and was confused because the front door was open but the lights were off, with Christian music playing. The worker in back welcomed me in, told me I could help myself to the coffee until they opened at 7, and even offered a sample of several pastries set out nearby. It was a breakfast cafe, but I had come only looking for a mocha and a cinnamon roll . . . Ohh my! I chose the sticky bun with nuts and have to say - I haven't had anything that amazing since my momma cooked some homemade 40 years ago!!! They had a wide variety of bags of day old that I ended up taking home, too! This place has amazing ambience, lots of little "isms" all over the walls for decorations, and the locals fill the chairs before they open also. Awesome little place! read more

We had breakfast. It was awesome. The most impressive thing was how the staff all worked together.They were polite to each other. I picked up a $3 bag. Talk about goodies...Id rate them a 10 if I could. read more

Cute little bakery and food spot found in Yelp. Super friendly family owned for 53 years parking is a little difficult but stays busy constantly as we sat and ate breakfast. Breads are baked here and the doughnuts seem to sell out here. People seem to keep coming back here as I hear the stories while people pay for their stuff.. coffee bar here coffee is excellent It's awesome as I watch the lady give out doughnuts and she gives out extra for no charge just incase you want to share she says.. they play Christian music here and have scripture all over the place The lunch was good the bread was amazing and the service was with a smile.. they work hard here and the vibe is friendly friendly as different walks of life walk in here read more

Seriously great. Family run business with the husband (a 3rd generation scratch baker) in the kitchen and wife and kids in the front. Everything was good - the beef and barley soup was outstanding. It has caramels onions and a perfect balance. Food is freshly home made and tastes it. A true gem. read more

The smell in this place is just incredible food. Came looking for an apple fritter. This is a combination of monkey bread, cinnamon bun and the butter crispness of an apple fritter. Unbelievably good read more

Perfect spot for a cup of soup or breakfast. The donuts are fresh and amazing. Friendly staff. Will definitely be back again soon.

Great little diner. Everyone was super friendly. BLT was delish! Chili was decent. Can't wait to return to try some of their doughnuts. read more

Lake City Bakery & Eatery - Classic BLT - Bakeries Near Me - Polson, Montana

I wish I could give this place 10 stars! We were visiting Polson for the first time and had been searching for a breakfast spot all day on Yelp but couldn't find exactly what we hoping for. Stopped at this restaurant on a whim because there was parking right in front. OMG it was exactly what we were hoping to find ! Giant portions, the food was quick and popping hot, smothered in gravy! They even have flavored coffee creamers! Booths right by the window for some people watching on the street. The service was wonderful and so kind! We forgot to ask for ketchup and she somehow still knew to bring it. Everything was salty enough so I did have to keep using the salt shaker. This place is amazing. I literally kept wondering if I was dreaming because it was exactly the breakfast spot we were hoping to find. AND they have donuts!! I can't wait to come back!! read more

Lake City Bakery & Eatery - Chicken Fried Steak - Bakeries Near Me - Polson, Montana

See all

As we were driving to Polson to spend the day everyone was hungry and ready for a good breakfast, so searched Yelp and found the Lake City Bakery. As we entered saw they were busy with only 1 server and so you have to seat yourself. Since only 1 server also had a little wait to get menus and then to order. However although our server was very busy she was friendly. Unfortunately the downside was unable to get refills on our coffee during our meal. We ordered the huckleberry pancakes, the ham scramble and the chicken fried steak. When the pancakes arrived they did not appear to have any huckleberry's in them so double checked with the waitress to ensure we got the right order. She apologized said the huckleberry's sink to the bottom of the batter sometimes and so she would have the kitchen remake them. While we appreciated her doing this unfortunately when the 2nd plate arrived the pancakes had very few huckleberry's in them so they were disappointing. The ham scramble was very plain, just eggs with a few cubes of ham. As for the chicken fried steak the breading was not good and the gravy was not very tasty. Not sure if maybe a new cook or just a bad day. So although I will not be back for breakfast I may stop by to pickup some donuts as they looked good. read more

Giving it all the small town feels, this place definitely is a must when in town. Beginning with the food. I had scrambled eggs/hash browns/German sausage.

Great service, friendly staff, excellent food and large portions. Very cute hometown establishment.

Our first time here and for sure will be back. So many items your eyes just get big and want one of each. We ordered donuts and egg bacon, cheese croissant. Donuts were great! Croissant was ok. Cinnamon rolls looked amazing and will be something we come back for. Think we might also try this spot for lunch/snack. Make sure you get there early as sometimes they sale out we were told. Thanks for the great service as well. read more

The absolute best! Amazing donuts and food. Great service and a fun atmosphere! Would definitely recommend checking it out!

This place was amazing prices was good service was excellent we love the atmosphere and food was delicious We will be back for sure read more

Very cozy place and very friendly. Be prepared for a wait as it's a very popular destination. The wait is well worth it as the food and service is A+. I've eaten chicken fried steak all over the US and by far this rates in the upper levels. It pulls in close to my all time favorite and upon 1 more review it may take the lead. We are in a group and sat outside and ordered pancakes, biscuits and gravy, and of course the famous chicken fried steak. All was excellent and the entire experience was managed perfectly by 1 wonderful and very organized waitress. Thanks for a wonderful experience. read more

It's really just a diner type place but food was good, service friendly and quick and the price was great

We love going in for breakfast while we are in Polson!!! Very friendly staff and always smiling!!! The food is always delicious and the pastries are amazing!!!! Breakfast and lunch both served until closing, although one person in our group always asks if they are still serving breakfast!!! We will miss you when we leave; until next year!!!! read more

All I can say is go try the donuts.... I cannot say honestly that they are the best but they are pretty great for the small area! Ask them to put bacon on your maple bar and they will easily accommodate you! We went here early one morning and that is the best time to go since everything is uber fresh! Took donuts to the office and they were devoured literally in minutes! read more

No masks, no gloves, glass salt and pepper shakers that are filthy, bus girl brings us straws after clearing tables without cleaning her hands plus the straws were not wrapped in paper protection. A dog roaming the floor and the service was terrible. Not a place to go anytime including during a pandemic. read more

Love this place! They have a great positive atmosphere and the food is great. The staff is very friendly. Could literally eat here daily.

Nothing short of amazing! The donuts are fresh and delicious, the young man working the counter is patient and hard working. We spent a week here and made it a daily stop! My latte was perfection, my husband had a huckleberry smoothie that was made with fresh huckleberries, and did I mention the donuts? We also had sandwiches one day, and my brother had an amazing butter pecan iced latte. DON'T MISS OUT, make this stop, eat the donut holes. read more

Huge pancakes the size of a dinner plate! Family run business, all staff were cheerful and helpful. Dog friendly seating out front of restaurant. read more

Loved the place while we were in Polson! The service is friendly and fast and the food is great. We loved the pastries and maple cookies too. I guess it's pretty well known around that area because a woman I can into in Big Fork was also gushing about it. Really there's nothing not to love about Lake City. I miss it now that we've left! read more

Our go to local hangout. Eat and get donuts for later. Bread is also amazing. Everything is reasonably priced.

I had the best sandwich ever! Those donuts look amazing!!

This place genuinely has one of the best set of doughnuts I've had in years. Looking forward to having breakfast sometime here

Great place everything looked delicious. Enjoyed the cinnamon sticks. Highly recommend for breakfast

The apple caramel pull apart donut that is as big as a plate is amazing! We shared it with 6 people. I'm so glad because I would have eaten the whole thing. The staff is so nice and easy going. We came in with a group of 20 and were easily served with plenty of seating. I will be back again before I leave town! read more

We arrived about a minute before closing and they were so nice and let us in. We never felt rushed at all and you would never have known they were closed if the sign on the door wasn't flipped. We ordered sandwiches and a couple slices of huckleberry pie. The food is really delicious and homemade. It reminds me of something you'd get visiting your grandma :) pie was excellent as well. They had an assortment of yummy baked goods too but we were too full to try them. Would definitely recommend if you're passing through Polson. read more
