Best Ice Cream I have ever had. The make everything on location. Opened Last year. Read their facebook page and there is a link to their blog...
Reviewed By FVRob - Columbia Falls, Montana
The ice cream is excellent and the service is very good. There are a few seats inside and a couple picnic tables outside. If you are visiting in the summer, plan to wait in line and walk while you eat. It is the best ice cream in town and people know it. The only downside is the lack of parking and the wait - which is worth it, by the way.

While staying in Kalispell valley and enjoying the exquisite beauty of Glacier National Park, we were oh so grateful to be directed to Zucca. We had been longing for fresh and delicious real food and this is exactly what we found. We delighted in the well developed flavors of their soups and the freshness of their mostly local and organic products. The owners are kind (darn...forgot their names), the ambiance is simple and friendly. We treated ourselves to a smore latte (I think) - a creation from the owner. It was scrumptious. They open early and serve breakfast and lunch. Be sure to pick up your dinner before 4pm.

My husband had an excellent chai tea and we also got yogurt. I had the vanilla with almond slivers. The vanilla tasted a little artificial for my liking. My husband had the chocolate and said it was ok. Nothing to write home about but terrible either. I would say this is an average yogurt shop that has some good attributes. The ambiance is quite charming though. I'd go back for a nice cup of coffee or chair and hang out in this cute shop.

Breakfast lunch or dinner this place deserves a visit. We have tried all 3 & never disappointed. Lots of tasty food especially breakfast. Unfortunately with success comes lineups! Worth the wait though. Great customer service. The owners, Charlie & Linda often greet customers & chat with everyone although very busy people! As mentioned we have been here several times & every time has been a great experience.

Sweet and savoury crepes made with local and in-house ingredients. Locally roasted coffee,tea, and specialty beverages. Seasonal soups or locally grown salads.
Reviewed By Eestigirl - Leavenworth, Washington
Amazing Crepes was small and busy and a great spot for lunch. The crepes are large enough that filled and folded they cover the entire plate. We had the ham and gruyere; the smoked salmon, chèvre and spinach and the Brie, pesto, spinach with added sausage. Our cappuccinos were excellent as was the ginger lemonade. We’ll be back.

We dined one night and I did not enjoyed it. I ordered a salad which arrived in very small size whereas the kids meals were enormously big. The salad was not nothing impressive and did not have any dressing. When I asked for olive oil and vinegar, I was brought some sort of oil, probably canola or similar. The calamari were not great, either.

The snippy server low lighted what would have been a meal with our guests from out of town. We decided not to return for dinner, and that is good thing because they are now closed indefinitely for dinner service.I am the owner of Loula’s and am wondering if you would share more information about this server so we can correct this problem. Thank you. Mary Lou

It right off the hwy with Windows with a view. We were seated immediately, Tuesday night, by a very nice hostess. It s quaint little restaurant with reasonable prices. The salmon was delicious. The service was quick, efficient, and accurate. The venue appeared clean with paper table clothes. Reservations are advise but might not be needed during the week. Nice place.
