Shakes come in two sizes—regular or large—at Big Dipper, where folks line up for homemade ice cream in flavors like cardamom, green tea, huckleberry, maple walnut, and Mexican chocolate. In the summer, the line can extend around the block. There are locations in Helena and Billings, too.
One of a very few small, local breweries that is all about lagers rather than ales, the Bayern Brewery offers dozen craft beers in this German-style brewery's tasting room. The Edelweis Bistro upstairs serves good German staples, including excellent sausages and schnitzels. Try the bratwurst and sauerkraut or the kasespatzle. Beer options include Schwarzbier and St. Wilbur Weizen, as well as seasonal specials such as Dopplebock, Groomer, or Face Plant during ski season, and Dump Truck Summer Bock when the weather's warm. Brewery tours are available by appointment.
Loosely translated, the name means "The Little Outrageous," which is fitting since the croissants, scones, brioches, canneles, and other sweet baked treats here are outrageously good. It also serves the best coffee in town. In addition to pastry, this longtime bakery sells artisan breads (think baguettes, ciabatta, rosemary foccaccia, and New York rye), gourmet mustards, salts, vinegars, and olive oils.
For a quick bite to eat, this local favorite offers a variety of tasty burritos and tacos inspired by similar shops in San Francisco's Mission District. Try the Mission Supreme with your choice of baked cod, pulled pork, or carne asada. Though now a small chain, the restaurants started in Missoula, where there are three locations, but can now be found all over Montana. Each one has a different vibe, with local, funky art, and cool music.
Come here for the best bread and soup in the valley. The café's baked goods, including fresh croissants, baguettes, and scones, will entice you in, but it's worth your while to stay for breakfast or lunch—the Reuben sandwiches are sublime, and any one of the salads makes a great lunch. Local artwork adds a warm touch.
Floorboards creak beneath your feet as you explore this old-fashioned market, opened in the 1880s as Missoula's first grocery store and spilling over with deli delicacies today. With 150 cheeses to choose from, the sandwich possibilities are endless; have them pile on Black Forest ham and horseradish for a creation that will get you down the trail. There's an impressive selection of specialty groceries, along with imported beer, microbrews, and an outstanding selection wine, plus a knowledgeable and friendly staff to help you make the best selections. There's limited seating both inside and outside, where Worden's espresso bar has a walk-up window.
