Best baked goods in town, and best coffee, bright large airy interior seating. They have recently moved locations to be sure to find them in downtown whitefish on central ave ,across from Montana Coffee Traders. Whitney bakes fresh from scratch amazing french bakery style pastries, croissants and cookies and a couple of bread choices. This girl can bake! Try the Canele ~ little cakes with a crunchy caramelized exterior and a custardy interior or my favorite - the Basque Cake.

Always interesting , eclectic and delicious. this is a Splurge $$$ wise, but worth it! Award winning wines to match and knowledgeable sommelier for suggestions. Local tip- you can also eat in the tiny 'snug bar' and the food is just as good- but small menu and more affordable!
