    Very vibrant and cute!

    If I had only one thing to compliment sbout I'd say the OPTIONS! They have so much items, including gluten free and vegan items marked on the menu. The staff are so sweet and very talkative (in a good way!) And the general vibe of the place is beautiful, it has tons of unique art and sculptures, the tables are vibrant and very pretty. Absolutely amazing.

    Popped in to have brunch. It wasn't too busy but wait was 20-25 minutes. I don't think it took that long to be seated. We ordered a meat lover scramble and the two eggs with toast and potatoes with an extra side of bacon and a cinnamon roll. Our server was nice. It's a nice vibe in here, colors are pretty, and I love the music and photos on the wall. The cinnamon roll was served quick, piping hot with a cinnamon sprinkled glaze on top. It smelled divine and the hubby says it was amazing. I finally took a few bites and it was heavenly!! I feel like I taste some form of citrus or apple in it but it is light and the sauce is not heavy... THIS IS A MUST TRY WHEN VISIT! Our food was really good. The potatoes were seasoned and the bacon was really good.

    Delicious little café right on Main Street. There are tables both inside and outside if you want a sit down meal or around on the other side you can grab your food/coffee to go. I love that they had a separate vegan menu, definitely try the tacos with mushroom "bacon". They were delicious and also extremely filling. The workers were so nice and gave recommendations both about what to order and also about what stores to go to on Main Street for souvenirs. They had all kinds of dairy free milk: soy, almond, coconut, and oat. Highly recommend !

    An awesome place for breakfast with a large seating area. Everything my group ordered we enjoyed and half of us had leftovers for the next morning. The cowboy hash was huge and even though it has spicy sausage, it wasn't overly spicy. We also grabbed a scone to go for a member who couldn't join us - also huge! Also recommend getting their focaccia as your bread option, something fun and different you can't find other places. Definitely recommend stopping in if you're down on Main Street for breakfast.

    A fun and vibrant spot with inspired breakfast plates! There are two sides of the restaurant. On one, you can be seated at a table for dine in or you can visit the other side to grab coffee and something quick to go. We dined in and I really enjoyed the tom avo Benedict. The tomato and avocado were fresh and wonderful. The egg was poached perfectly! The yolk oozed over the sides just as you'd want it to. The plate was hearty with a side of potatoes. I was stuffed nice and full afterwards. The servers were awesome and made sure we had everything that we needed. Fast and friendly service. Would definitely stop back anytime.

    See all

We started with the beet and burrata salad, which was full of yummy complimenting flavors and fun textures. I think it could have done without the yellow peppers but I just ate around those. The pepitas with the pistachio butter and beets were excellent, and the burrata added a creamy touch. We also tried the frites and fondue. The fries were thick and browned how I like them, but the fondue wasn't my favorite and was a little too overpowering in flavor for my taste. The parmesan on top of the fries was a nice touch. For beverages I had a local pale ale from Bridger brewing that was crisp and went well with the meal, and my partner tried the rotations shrub (peach), which she said was just okay. The star of the show was the arrabiata pasta made with vodka sauce and Calabrian chilis. The pasta was cooked perfectly Al dente and was well sauced, truly delicious. The ambiance is nice, and the service was fine. They checked on us frequently but not entirely friendly, maybe our waitress was having a bad day. The meal was a little on the pricier side but I felt the happy hour prices were fair. We would return when visiting Bozeman.

Several tables, elevated booths and an elaborate bar setup with a warm and very hustling staff. Hospitality is off-the-chart here and the Main St location is straight out of a cool mountain town set. We ordered the avocado toast and a simple plate of biscuits / sausage gravy. The avacado toast was stacked tall with guacamole, bacon, roasted grape tomatoes and an over easy egg. This was good but trying to eat it was a challenge due to size and ingredients. There was a small side green salad. The biscuit and sausage gravy was also stacked. You definitely get good value here as is evident with the families surrounding us. The gravy was almost overflowing the plate with a good uncious taste. The biscuit was dense, a bit dry and was just ok. The gravy was a home run. Jam is a great family breakfast option with the food almost over-flowing the plates. We ordered basic dishes from the appetizer menu and enjoyed them but not overwhelmed with taste. Even though I found it good, not great, I would encourage you to come here with a hearty appetite, and give them a try. NO ONE here is eating with a frown on their face and joint is jumping.
