Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    We stopped in for something cool and refreshing not knowing this was an old fashioned candy and ice cream shop. What a find!!!! The place was just like an old fashioned malt shop with the long counter and all of the sauces and ice cream and malt machines behind the counter. The ladies that run the shop are top class and the shop immediately brings a smile to your face. The candies are all handmade. The ice cream is all handmade. The soft drinks use the original syrup mixed in to seltzer water. It is exactly like what my Grandpa had when he had his ice cream shop. We sat at the counter and I got the foot long hot dog...yum....a coke and for dessert their vanilla ice cream and hot fudge. Mary got a huckleberry malt shake. We were in heaven. For that hour it was just like going back to simpler times when things were easier and more carefree. It was class!!!!! This restaurant is located in the historic district on Last Chance Gulch in Helena. This is a must see it and do it place. You will not be disappointed and the ladies behind the counter will make you feel right at home. Bon Voyage and Bon Appetit.

    I'd like to share my INCREDIBLE (& ongoing) experience after purchasing several Stained Glass Feathers from Sage & Oats online. I hope my Review will hit the Reader on many levels & drive home how WONDERFUL Michelle & Major are & how AMAZING ALL the Artists they carry Handcrafted Items for MUST BE! I've been Blessed to connect with this Store online, therefore the Owners & in my case, Donna, a FABULOUS & TALENTED Creator!

    My Dad's 80th birthday was coming up on 11/01. He's hard to buy for & I wanted something that Spoke to me & would also Speak to him. On my mom's side was Native American ancestry so that was part of my criteria. I had specifics in mind and added a Stained Glass Feathers & found one on Sage and Oates. I actually really wanted it for myself but highlighted it as a favorite for Dad and kept shopping. ,But something about THAT Feather kept calling to me and when I returned to it and read the description, I knew why. Again, I really wanted this Feather for myself but it did go to my Dad's address in California. I then immediately ordered a different one for myself.

    The Feather I ordered for myself arrived prior to my dad opening his for his birthday & I couldn't have been MORE THRILLED! Such Fast Shipping & Delivery, Thoughtful Packaging & enclosed was the Artists car, with her name and descent information handwritten on it as well as Michelle's & Major's! Both of which were SO MEANINGFUL to me in their own right and have been kept with each order I've placed/received! Yes! I've purchased at least 6 of Donna's Feathers & Shipping, Delivery, Packaging ALWAYS consistent!

    My Dad opened his Feather on his 80th birthday and MY GOODNESS! The Emotions! Upon opening, the Beauty of the Feather hit him & my mom 2.0 so hard! The gift couldn't have been received any better! I'm hoping more of Donna's Stained Glass Feathers will become available for me to share with more friends & family!

    Donna's Feathers, if you are lucky enough to own one, are not just Any 'Ol Stained Glass Feather. The colors are GORGEOUS, the Cord used to hang the Feather is Second to None & the "hook" (ridiculous word) used to hang the Feather & Beautiful Cord is ALWAYS a variation of a small Silver Feather.

    Donna is a True Artist & I learned she made Lovely Teas that come in Gift Sets that I immediately took advantage of for my Brother!

    Again, LOOK OUT for ANYTHING made by a LOVELY Lady by the Name of Donna. I don't want to share her ancestry as I think that's hers to share but consider yourself Blessed to own one of her items!
    But don't let that stop you from order if something else CALLS to you (& it will) through an online photo on the Safe & Oates website! Know there's a Reason! And it'll expose itself further Upon delivery!

    Buy with confidence from Michelle & Major & KNOW your purchase will arrive promptly & with thought & presentation in mind! This is True whether for yourself, friends, family.... delivery to your home or shipped Out of State. You can have Faith it'll reach it's destination successfully & have exactly the impact you hoped!

    I only with I could give More Stars or Better Descriptive Words to Truly Drive Home how Donna, Michele & Major have made Shopping for Unique Funds not only easy, but impactful in too many ways to list!
    If you're reading this Review, i encourage searching Sage & Oates for the Creation "That Speaks To You" and you too will find yourself leaving a similar Review!

    Warmly & Sincerely Submitted,

    A must stop anytime passing through the Helena area. Fantastic Rock shop with the finest Montana Sapphire to be found. You can screen for your own sapphire from gravel brought in from their own mine. Blaze and family are the best of the best!!!

    Quite an assortment of books, cards, incense, imported items, Buddhist items, old western paperbacks. One of those stores that have been around so long that you think you fell into a time machine. They also trade books.

    So many fun products from alluring jewelry and tasteful souvenirs to unique foods and lush body products! The whipped body butter leaves your skin feeling and smelling amazing!! It’s a must-stop-shop, plus if you can’t make it in person, they have a wide array of options online that they can ship directly to your doorstep!

    This is a wonderful store for bird lovers and also for anyone looking for aesthetic home decorations and gifts. The person at the desk was very helpful about trails for birding. There are books, laminated animal identification cards, paintings, greeting cards, mugs, dishtowels etc. with bird and other animal images. These are made by various artists and many are really beautiful. For those living nearby there are supplies for bird feeders and all sorts of tips and ideas for attracting and aiding birds.

    They will even play the piano for you!
    A great hidden treasure of the Queen City. Montana Sapphires, awesome clocks, jewelry and treasures. Also the Jackson Street Gallery with Donna Gordon paintings and photographs. The owner, Marvin, is full of great stories! Take the time to stop and see.
