We live in Idaho, but my husband grew up in Townsend, Montana, and has known about the Parrot since childhood. We visit Montana once or twice a year, and make the Parrot a high priority. The chocolates are delicious, and very reasonably priced. There is a nice variety of homemade candies in addition to the chocolates. The staff is very... more

I love everything about The Parrot from the old sign that hangs outside exclaiming "It speaks for itself," to the private wooden booths inside. The hot fudge sundae with the hot fudge served on the side to pour on yourself is the best. We order chocolate Easter bunnies from The Parrot every year.

In response to the tourist who wrote: "Service and product not very good - owner is against the Walking Mall" So what if the owner is against the walking mall? There are a lot of people against the walking mall. It is just an opinion. The Parrot is a treasured store in Helena and has been located in the same... more

I treated my in-laws to some treats from the Parrot last summer and was hugely disappointed. The service was very slow and rather aggravating as the girls behind the counter were constantly bickering. The treats we ordered, ranging from ice cream to confections, were not as good as we anticpated and were rather pricey for the size. Additionally, the owner... more
