I am informed that this is the bakery where Kent works and that he appears in the photo of the bakery so we will be stopping by to check this place out.llholmes1948 wrote:Jen,
If this is the place where a young man named Kent works we will probably check it out in July as one of our instructions is to "Stop at a bakery in East Glacier and see Kent." Kent is a former Glacier Park Lodge employee whom we met at Sperry in 2008.
It will no doubt be a pleasant diversion from searching for the elusive East Glacier Laundromat.

I'm sure he appreciated the ride! Kent is a good buddy of mine, and he had just completed a multi day outing from Chief Mountain Customs to Many Glacier. I believe he visited Pyramid Peak, Sue Lake and Wacheechee Mountain on his trip. Great guy, and apparently he's turning into a great baker. Stopped at Rock 'n Roll a few times last year, and the pastries are delicious!il2gnp wrote:It is a small world. In August 2013, we exchanged greetings near Fishercap Lake with a very dirty hiker as he was returning from a back country climbing trip. After a short stop at the Swiftcurrent store, the same hiker was hitch hiking his way back to the Many Glacier dorms. It was Kent. We picked him up and gave him a sorry excuse for a ride in a van with no seats in the back. That must have been a better offer than walking. He is a multi-talented now as he said he was learning to bake last summer too. We were very surprised to find out that he worked at the bakery in East Glacier that we had visited just a few days previously. I just love small world occurrences.
I have 2 nights in East Glacier next month. I will make it my priority to get photos of the infamous laundry mat.llholmes1948 wrote:Yes it is a great place. When we were in Glacier we enjoyed stopping by to see Kent at the bakery but unfortunately the bakery was just closing so we were only able to try the cookies, which were great. The bakery is not right on US 2 but is on a side street (can't remember the name of the street) sort of out in back of the Trading Post. They also have a lot of hiking equipment which is sort of strange for a bakery but it is East Glacier.
We spent so much time chatting with Kent and also visiting Glacier Park Lodge that we didn't have time to search for the famed East Glacier laundromat. We later did our laundry on the ranch at Valier.
