Bonjour Bakery & Bistro at 45 Heritage Way in Kalispell is a French-American bakery and cafe serving croissants, macarons and cakes alongside a lunch menu of pressed sandwiches such as the Croque Monsieur and French Dip, small pizzas, two salads and a rotating soup. It opens at 8 AM on weekdays and 9 AM Saturday, closes at 4 PM (2 PM Saturday) and is closed Sunday, so it works as the breakfast-and-pastry stop before the roughly 33-mile drive up US 2 to Glacier's West Entrance.

Tips Advice
  • Order through the bakery's own website for pickup if you want sandwiches ready before you head up US 2.
  • Sandwiches are pressed on one panini machine automatically, so gluten-free bread is pressed the same way.
  • The soup of the day rotates; some days it is gluten-free and vegan, some days not, so ask.
  • Allergen note from the bakery: it produces items containing gluten.
