Polebridge Bakery - WHITEFISH

If you're near Glacier Park, you absolutely have to make a trip to Polebridge. It's a stunning area, and the Mercantile Shop has gained a reputation for its delicious Huckleberry bear claws. A freshly made Huckleberry bear claw is not only incredibly tasty but also makes for a great start to your camping breakfast. Just a heads up, the road to get there is gravel and might have some rough spots if it hasn’t been graded, so be prepared for a bit of an adventure. It's a bit off the beaten path, but if you haven't experienced Huckleberries before, this is a must-try! The bear claws are truly something special. It's a worthwhile stop on your way to Lake Bowman, as it's the only place around where you can grab food, gas, and souvenirs. The sandwiches are massive and quite filling, and there's a good selection of Montana souvenirs to choose from. Kudos to this place for successfully maintaining their business for so long and providing essential services to all visitors!

Fantastic experience, albeit quite pricey. This might be the most delectable bakery I've ever visited. We purchased 8 bear claws (possibly the best I've ever tasted), 1 fritter, 1 lemon huckleberry bar, 1 monkey pull-apart loaf, and 1 huckleberry loaf, totaling $85. I was taken aback by the lack of listed prices. The food was exquisite! If I return, I would definitely choose the lemon huckleberry bar over the bear claw, and I'd also get the monkey pull-apart loaf.

Polebridge was a must on our Montana trip. I heard about it in a song from Owl City and it looked interesting on photos so that we did the drive. It's worth it. This is a small shop with souvenirs, a bakery and other types of food. No phone service and it is near Canada! There are some big dogs that welcome you and they are sweet. The staff here is friendly. The views are also beautiful. If you think about making the ride of Whitefish or Glacier, just do it. Do not forget to buy a delicious bear claw.

It's a bit a car to come, but it's worth trying the Huckleberry bear claws for the bakery. There is a beautiful picnic area and a place for the children to stretch their legs after the ride. There are some souvenirs (t shirts, cozies, books) in the wishlist for purchase.

This restaurant has a lively and unique vibe! It's an establishment that caters to a variety of tastes. Additionally, the lack of cell service in the area allows you to truly enjoy your surroundings! I highly recommend the jalapeño rolls and the ricotta poppy seed rolls—they're a perfect 10 out of 10.
