Ceres Bakery is on Main Street (as is Norm's News and Sweet Peaks) and offers some wonderful bakery treats. Not your typical bakery... you won't find any donuts here. You will find some tasty scones, chocolate croissants, crostatas, danishes, and great coffee.

Tamarack is a great place to go for great drinks and good food. It is located in Lakeside, just a 20 minute drive from Kalispell. It is a few blocks from Flathead Lake. We love to go on Tuesday nights for Tamarack Tuesday Night Trivia. Lakeside has recently gained some pretty great restaurants (Tamarack, the Farmhouse, Seven, and Glacier Perks are all great places to grab a bite before going out on the lake).

We love love love Serranos. It may not be 'authentic', but the people are fabulous, the atmosphere is laid back, and the food is delicious. Plus - they have a hostel (& cabins) just out the back door, so if you have one too many margaritas, all you have to do is walk 15 feet and lay down... lol. We love Serranos and have stayed in the hostel and would recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, cheap place to stay in East Glacier.

Shopping
Montana Marie’s (formerly Think Local) is a FABULOUS shop about 4 blocks from the house on Main Street. Everything they sell is made by Montanans. They have handmade wooden toys, food/spices, photography, beauty products, jewelry, and Montana themed work. It is my favorite spot in town.

Kehoe's is one of our favorite places in the valley, and has been for as long as I can remember. It offers stone, agates, and gems from around the world, including a number of stones found to Montana. They sell fossils, jewelry, stunning agate bookends, even small trinkets for kids (small packs of Montana agate, stone animals, etc.). Kehoe's is definitely off the beaten track, but well worth the trip.

Entertainment & Activities
The house of mystery is well worth a stop (especially if travelling with kids). Just ask and I'll fill you in on why this should be a definite 'to-do' while in the valley.

Want to entertain the kids?
This place has it all... an awesome life-size maze, bumper boats, (weird) basketball, and so much more. I love this place. It is awfully touristy, but still a lot of fun.

Drinks & Nightlife
This is a new addition to the Flathead brewery scene and a regular stop among locals and tourists alike. They do not serve food, but there is frequently a food truck parked out back and they have menus from local restaurants that deliver right to your table at the brewery.
