The Grateful Bread Bakery and Cafe — Restaurant in Helena

Edit: I'm coming back to edit my review because unfortunately it seems the quality has really shifted since the original review. The clam chowder was actually pretty good a couple years ago. Not the best I'd ever had, but being a short walk away it was nice on cold days. The last time I ordered it there was almost no substance to it. The drinks are still okay but it's a gamble if they are going to get it consistently good. I don't know, it's not the worst, but it's far from the high star experience I was having consistently 2 years ago.

Original: This is one of my favorite spots. The baked goods are delicious. They offer gluten free options which is great for when I want to buy for friends or family with allergies.

A classmate said we had to try the biscuits & gravy. But for my personal taste, not a fan. It had overwhelming amounts of rosemary and the biscuits were pretty dry. The gravy also had more of a soupy, runny texture - there are definitely better options in town.

If we come back, we'll probably just stick to the...

They have an updated menu with some breakfast sandwiches that'll make you weak. The homemade tomato aioli rocks every one of them. And do yourself a favor, get it smothered with the... Now. I went to different time and it was completely different. It had been about a year and I was going through a bad divorce, seems like the thing to do after so much strife and the kids, well they took it hard. But as I was saying the first time I went in a long time, The wavy gravy or I think maybe sausage gravy they only have one gravy now but they used to have this thing called wavy gravy. Anywayszzzz

and is thick and creamy today I got something watered down huge chunks of gristle. So ask for a sample before you go down that road.
