Lots of choices: gelato, shakes, coffees, teas, homemade cakes, cupcakes & pie! The folks here are uber-friendly, engaging & eager to please. Oftentimes you'll be served by the lovely owner/baker herself, Teaghan. My husband, a long-time huckleberry shake connoisseur, had a religious experience with the shake here. I had a slice of the homemade 'Northwest Berry' pie - perfect crust, filled w fresh fruit. We're looking forward to enjoying the whole menu throughout the year. The outdoor patio has seating under the giant trees with a view of Bigfork Bay & people watching on busy days. And, bonus, in addition to the outside area, there's a small seating area/dessert nook with several tables that joins The Marketplace to the Bigfork Inn dining room. We usually have no problems finding a parking spot on the street nearby. Stays open late to cap off a beautiful Bigfork day.

Glacier Perks serves up delightful specialty coffees and high quality, fresh eats in a charming little shop. When we were in, I got their s'mores mocha, which was a smoky version of other shops cloyingly sweet options. It was chocolatey, the espresso was beautifully rich, and the smokiness added the perfect s'mores kick. For my breakfast, I got their avocado toast. Hearty, freshly baked toasted bread topped with pesto aioli, sliced avocado, and pico--it was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. I wasn't convinced the pico would be a good addition but it was pitch perfect. The service was friendly. The shop is very small. We were able to find a spot to sit and enjoy but on a busy morning, I could see this being challenging. Some of the best coffee and breakfast bites in the area!

Having never been there before I wasn't sure what kind of coffee drinks were available, but they had a decent selection so I ordered an iced caramel coffee (bonus in my book). We ordered a cinnamon roll to start and share, then our main plates. We received the roll before my coffee even though I ordered the drink first; probably because the barista at wasn't stationary position and was taking other orders. It was then that things slowed down a bit after a large table was seated. Once we received our food we were over-all happy with everything. Though my husband was disappointed in the potatoes O'Brien since the onion and peppers were just added to the top of the regular breakfast potatoes instead of frying them together. I'd say 8/10, we would go again if we were back in the area.

The new…read moreowners had an opportunity to continue making this a welcoming place where locals were met by a friendly face and a warm greeting when they walked in the door. Sadly, they've scored a big F for FAIL. My husband and/or I have stopped in at least a dozen times since last October, and last week we decided "enough is enough." We mostly encounter the male owner, not his wife. He's not much of a talker, gruff to the point of blatant rudeness. A simple question like "where can I find xyz?" is met with a "what, are you stupid?" stare and a reply that expresses that same attitude. We thought maybe he just didn't like us for some bizarre reason. Is it because we've only lived here for 12 years and aren't "old timers" like his family? But we've seen him treat others, tourists and locals alike, just as rudely. It's almost like he's baiting them to call out his rudeness so he can then refuse them service. When we witnessed EXACTLY that last week, we decided we're DONE with Papa's Market, and we are telling all our family and friends who live here to do the same. Word of mouth is still the best form of advertising. When you treat one customer badly, you can multiply that by 10. In small towns like ours, multiply by 20. REAL Montanans are good neighbors, no matter how long their neighbor has lived in Montana. Now, if you don't care about rude business owners (let's face it, civility and common decency appears to have been thrown out the window in this country), here are a few other things to keep in mind before giving this establishment your hard-earned dollars. 1) Prices at places like this (tourist traps) that get a lot of out-of-state travelers usually are much higher. That's an unfortunate given. We understand inflation is making things tough for everyone, but Papa's Market prices are INSANELY high. 6 bucks for a regular size box of Nabisco crackers? 5 bucks for box of cake mix? Back in December, I ran out of raisins for a dessert recipe and sent my husband over to Papa's (3 min. away) for a box. He ended up going to Harvest Foods because even with the extra mileage, it was still cheaper than what Papa's was selling: 6 halloween-treat-size boxes of raisins that had been wrapped in cellophane and slapped with price of $4.99. 2) Gas price gauging. Watch out! Read the Unleaded gas price sign very carefully. The price is for CASH ONLY. When you get to the pump, you'll find the price is at least 10 cents higher if you're paying by credit card. No matter which method of payment you use, gas prices at Papa's are ALWAYS at least 10-20 cents higher than the Harvest Foods gas station just 5 miles north. 3) If you're looking at old reviews, please be aware that Papa's doesn't sell milkshakes anymore. There is a nice veggie/fruit stand set up outside every Wednesday (June-September) by the local Hutterite community. My one star in this review is for the Hutterite stand, though they'd get 5 all on their own.
