    This place is a cute little gem and you could almost miss it because it's kind of tucked off the main road. I use the term "little" loosely because it's actually very spacious and roomy inside. It's so spacious that they have room to add more tables and chairs which I don't think would be a bad idea. Their menu is pretty big and they offer quite a few items ranging from sandwiches and breakfast burritos to salads and bagels. As far as drinks, they offer all the normal coffee items you can expect to find at a coffee shop as well as fruit smoothies, protein smoothies, and all the Lotus flavors. Their breakfast burrito is definitely worth getting for the price. The service is average and the employees seem to be friendly the times I've been in there. My food has always come out hot when it's supposed to be. I still would like to try a sandwich and that will be next on my list. Their prices are very reasonable and are some of the best around Missoula. The adorable lighthouse decor just adds to the charm of this place and they even have a little children's play area tucked into the corner for those who have kids. Whether you're a local or a tourist visiting the area, this is a place I'd recommend stopping at.

    THICK layers of mayo, mustard and avocado.

    The food was so bad, i have tried really hard to like this place for years now, i've tried burritos, sandwiches, the whole thing... never have i been impressed and that's why today i decided to actually write a review lol, service i always wait at least 15 minutes, Do not go here on your lunch during work, you will not be able to eat in time unless its an hour long. look at my sandwich WHAT THE HECK IS THAAT??? why don't you toast them either? she put 10x mayo on my sammy... and not to mention the ONE piece of lettuce on my sandwich. so disappointed and will not be coming back.

    Bacon breakfast sandwich!

    The yummiest breakfast sandwich in Missoula! You get to pick and choose what ingredients you want in it and it's made right there, fresh and with love! I could eat one everyday. Stacie always makes mine, she's amazing! The coffee is DANG good too! Love this place.

    It's a little out of the way but worth it. Cute atmosphere, decent drinks and yummy hummingbird cookies. They have a decent selection of soup and sandwiches if you find yourself over there on lunch hour

    Plain bagel, egg, sausage, and pepper jack cheese.

You can see the care they put into these sandwiches. They dont throw on the toppings and hand you a mess. They actually take their time to build a sandwich that is balanced and delicious. I always get the Beach Boy, but the other sandwiches look great as well. I tired the pickel for the first time today. It was almost as big as my sandwich lol, and was juicy and delicious. If you head to this location, it's easier to park on the side of the road. Parking in front of the building is limited and can be a challenge to get out. Also, seating is located outside on the patio only.

Anyway, it's extremely flavorful and all the ingredients taste high quality and fresh (especially the ciabatta it's on). Have had a few others but this is my favorite. They're also very accommodating about substitutions in general. Prices are reasonable and the sandwiches can easily stretch to two meals. No seating inside so lots of people chowing down sandwiches in their cars outside including me who can't wait 10 minutes to dig in.

I've NEVER experienced it in Montana but market on front has SO many delicious options for every dietary preference. I decided on a portobello pesto sandwich on ciabatta and it was 10/10. The bread, texture and flavor were perfect! Although I was just visiting, I'd be shocked if there were a better sandwich shop in this town. There is also a grab and go and souvenir section that's very convenient. It was busy and we did have to wait a while for our orders but it was so worth the wait. If you're craving a sandwich or a wrap, this is your place.

They are a specific craving for me pretty dang often. Why? Because I love the burrito mixture with the SAUCE. I order, and because I have only so much time to eat in between patients, I ask for the sauce on the side so it all doesn't get soggy. I put specifically *sauce on the side* Then pay even more for ANOTHER sauce on the side in effort to get them to realize I want a SAUCE ON THE SIDE. More times than not, they have forgotten. The only times they haven't is when I ask the dash driver to confirm. In a moment of severe craving at work yesterday, I said heck with it, I'll order a burrito. Guess what?! NO SAUCE. I called in and in my most pleasant voice, I asked to speak with a manager. I was told they were busy but they would take my number down and have her call me back. NO call ever came. I was complaining to a coworker and sure enough she says "oh, that happened to a coworker last week." After that, I went and checked the reviews. Sure enough there were multiple complaining about not getting sauce on the side. At this point I'm questioning if the employees are just that dense or is this just full on laziness? I'm being ripped off every time for something I shouldn't even have to pay for in the first place. Won't be going back. Definitely won't be suggesting to visiting friends and family either.

What a disappointment! Ordered online. When my husband got to the business, he walked to the bar to ask where to get the food. The bartender ignored him. The bartender was visiting with another customer. After a few minutes, my husband asked if that was where he needed to pick up our sandwiches. The bartender said yes, but then continued talking to the other person there. Then, in walks two people, who order drinks. The bartender takes the time to make the drinks, before finally reaching up and grabbing a sack and handing it to my husband. When the sandwiches were taken out of the bag, I noticed one had written on it that it had no onions. I had ordered one with no peppers. Looked inside, and no onions, but plenty of peppers, which I didn't want. The sandwiches were both steak, chopped super fine, like ground burger. Extremely salty. The buns started to get hard as we were eating the sandwiches, which indicated they had been microwaved. We won't be wasting our money at this place again.

Beer choices are a nice variety, I like trying local beers and this gave me choices. Both burgers were outstanding, a little thicker than what you expect from a "smash" burger but this means they are giving you a good amount of food for a very fair price. (I did double the patties both times because I'm not really a sides person.) Just know that if you do this you may not want fries too, it's a lot of burger. The burgers have great flavor and the people working there are great. It's on our list of "go there at least once per trip places" for Missoula. I really enjoyed eating there, it's not fancy, it's good food with nice people at a reasonable price. If it were local to me we would know each other by name.

I ordered a an OG cheeseburger with cheese, onions, ketchup and mustard. The guy got mad at me, I could litter see the frustration on his face and I had to apologize and tell him it was my first time there. He picked something else off the menu for me and said it was a better choice. I payed $15.00 for a burger and fries. The burger was small. Maybe 3 inches across and the fries were stale and hard like they had been sitting under a heat lamp forever. The atmosphere presented as a luxury well put together restaurant but they provided fast food service and takeout. Didn't know whether I was at Macdonald's or a fine dining restaurant. Also I could probably get a burger quarter pounder and fries from Macdonald's and have more for then what I got at this place. Also the burger was so greasy it was dripping in it. It wasn't even five minutes after eating before I was rushing home feeling sick from the food. I will never recommend this place to anyone ever. If you go there bring something for your stomach cause you will need it afterwards.
