Lovely downtown restaurant with salads and healthy smoothies. This is a great place to have a lighter or healthier lunch, and the serving sizes are big enough to be filling. The salads are served with delicious sourdough bread. I was really impressed with the blue cheese in the buffalo cauliflower salad.

The staff was very helpful explaining their menu and combinations of toppings etc. They can accommodate what you have a craving for. Plus they can make it GF, DF and vegan. They really think of everyone’s palates here. I was told to try the pesto rice with chicken and I wasn’t disappointed. I ate the whole thing and wanted to like my plate clean.

Lovely, airy space with a small patio. Definitely has that urban minimalist vibe.

Quaint place to drop in for a bite to eat. The soup of the day was delicious but the bread was very dry and must have been sitting out for awhile. A bit over priced for what you are getting. Curious about their salads to try next time as that is what they are more known for. Would recommend this place for lunch or a snack.

The food is great. We enjoyed the cornbread, beet salad with steak ( ask for it hot ), and the tea was awesome. The only thing that wasn’t awesome is that they had some homeless guest which through off my appetite a bit… But the food and service made up for it. I’d definitely go again anytime I’m in Missoula.

Super delicious Salads! I got the chicken caprese and my friend got the Brussel Ceasar salad. The dressing, toppings, and everything was so good. The half order is a perfect portion for one person! I have to say, it is a bit expensive but it’s a fun treat for lunch!

Lovely little salad bar in downtown Missoula, offering stir fry, smoothies, coffee drinks, and, unsurprisingly, salad. Prices are quite high and they have a weird pricing scheme whereby half portions are $17 when the full is $20. Makes me think the half portions are severely overpriced, but ok. For lunch, I ended up spending $50 for 2 salad and a smoothie, which is more than I spent in sit down restaurants for dinner. Vibe is nice, though seating is limited and there’s no table service.

My beet salad was missing the goat cheese, if there was any in there I couldn’t find it, my wife however had a lot on hers so it’s a hit or miss. You can pick your ingredients but the staff decides how much an mixes the salads. Post modern industrial decor, no real ambiance, suggest the take out option as others were doing
