What’s for desert? It’s
a question your kid might ask you before he/she agrees to eat broccoli. You might be looking for a desert to top off
your dinner out, or perhaps, you ate early and want to satisfy your sweet tooth
before bed. Whatever provokes your desire;
there are several unique and tasty options in the Flathead Valley that you must
try!
Yay Huckleberries! As you drive from Kalispell to West Glacier,
you cannot help but notice the plethora of signs advertising huckleberry-.....-everything. You name it; they've put huckleberries in
it. These extremely flavorful smaller
cousins of the blueberry are good in many deserts, but are especially tasty in
shakes and pies. The town of Hungry Horse is pretty
much the capital of the huckleberry world (in Montana at least) and there are a
couple great places to eat shakes and pies there. The Huckleberry Patch is my favorite. It has great shakes, is open year round and
sends pies all over US. If you can’t
make it u
p to Hungry Horse, Frugals, the drive-through restaurant just south of
the court house in Kalispell, actually makes pretty tasty huckleberry shakes
and they are cheap!
Ice Cream You Won’t
Find Anywhere Else! If you’re looking for the local ice cream spot, look no
further than Sweet Peaks. It has a
variety of original flavors which are delicious! They also have a few that are a little weird
(ex: ranch flavored ice cream). In the
summer you can sit on their deck one story above Main Street in their Kalispell
location and they also have a location in downtown Bigfork.
Frozen Yogurt with a
Classy Twist: The Red Caboose in
Whitefish has taken everything you thought you knew about frozen yogurt and
turned it upside-down! Well, not
everything, you still go through buffet style; yogurt first then toppings. But
everything else is different. The shop
is located in a fully renovated red train car.
Rustic wooden floors, a fire place and comfortable couches make it an
experience and a place to enjoy good frozen yogurt and conversation. Oh, did I mention they have coffee too? So if someone in your party wants a latte and
someone wants real desert….. no problem!
Tempting Treats
Delivered with a Smile! Ceres’ Bakery is a pretty popular place in
Kalispell. Their baked goods are even
sold at several other places downtown! Is
it because their croissants melt in your mouth?
Or maybe because they bake a huge variety of cookies? Or possibly
because they’re super friendly? Hmmmm….you’ll
have to find out for yourself!
An Ice Cream Cookie
that Will Blow Your Mind! I promise
I am not a paid spokesman for the Tamarack, even though I recommend it constantly to guests. Its’ just that their entrees, beer and ICE CREAM COOKIES are so unbelievably
good! Here’s why their cookies are amazing:
a huge chocolate chip cookie is baked in a cast iron pan (probably 8” across)
and then, while it is still gooey, they bring it out to you with vanilla ice
cream on the side and spoons. The taste
is….well….out of this world!
