The Pocketstone Cafe started out as retail space on Electric Avenue in Bigfork Village. We transformed it into a cozy cafe featuring home cooking and harkening back to a simpler time. See how we did it.

With over 60,000 served in the first year, it is obviously impossible to show all the Pocketstone customers here. These are just a sample of those who came often enough to encounter Dave with his camera.

Our staff of cooks, bakers, waitresses, baristas, and others strive continually to make your overall experience at the Pocketstone as wonderful as the food. Meet our staff and learn a bit about each of them.

The Pocketstone Cafe is more than a place to eat, it's a place to experience. While our ads often mention food, we figure everone expects a cafe to serve food. So we've tried to convey a bit more in our ads, not just a sense of food but a sense of humor and fun that is the Pocketstone.

We'd like to think that the Pocketstone Cafe is such a draw that people come from all over the country to experience it. However, some probably also come to see Glacier Park, the Wild Mile, the Bigfork Playhouse, Flathead Lake, and Wayfarer's Park, locations featured in this gallery.

The Fourth of July parade is just one of the best known events. But we also have Whitewater Weekend, Taste of Bigfork, Festival of the Arts, Rumble in the Bay car show, Tamarack Days, and the Christmas Parade. See highlights of those events in this gallery.

The Bigfork Buscaderos are a local group of cowboy action shooters who frequent the Pocketstone Cafe wearing western garb and their six-shooters. Meet them in this gallery.

We started an annual tradition in 2010 by offering a free Thanksgiving Dinner to the Bigfork community. An event staffed entirely by volunteers, we fed 170 people the first year and collected donations of over $2,300 for the local food bank. Look in on the event.
