Pocketstone Cafe

Specialties

The Pocketstone Café is a 65-​seat café on Electric Avenue in downtown Bigfork Village. We specialize in what we refer to as «Home cooking from a simpler time.» What that means is that we cook good, simple food from scratch, the way Grandma used to. Of course, we go a little beyond that and try to do it better. Grandma, for example, didn’t have Big Dave’s recipe for buttermilk pancakes and she never thought about making a Reuben sandwich. But the care and energy Grandma put into her cooking is present in everything we serve. We hope your first bite will be accompanied with a sense of awe as you realize how good simple cooking can be. And we hope your whole experience will feel like a trip to Grandma’s house, from the quaint, cozy atmosphere to the feeling of welcome all the time you’re here. So join us for breakfast or lunch. We look forward to meeting you.

History

Established in 2010.

The Pocketstone Café served its first paying customer on June 4^th of 2010. A project of three owners (David Vale, Carolyn Vale, and Karie Stidham), three entrepreneurs who had never owned (or even worked in) a restaurant before, the Pocketstone Café has become a favorite breakfast haunt of many of the Bigfork year-​round residents and will be a seasonal favorite for many of this year’s summer visitors.
