Hidden Basin Coffee Post and Eatery in Red Lodge, Montana was the perfect resting place, with a comfy couch where it was hard to get unstuck! The ice coffees gave us the afternoon pep we were looking for. The owner is super knowledgeable about the little town of Red Lodge and Montana beyond. She gave us some excellent travel tips, noting which roads were best and places to shy away from. Displayed on one wall, are mug shots of numerous celebrities. I was beyond impressed when the owner had the detailed scoop on each one! We don't get to catch all the great places... I'm glad we didn't miss this one!

That being said these treats are wildly creative home crafted goods, and made with quality ingredients. As far as vibe goes what more could you ask for! Either sit outside enjoying the outdoor seating overlooking beautiful mountains, or if it happens to be winter and you don't fancy yourself turning into a human popsicle. They have plenty of indoor seating as well with warm welcoming friendly energy. I am always blown away by the flavors, and always excited to see what's new! Which I must add emphasis on that because the New treats are on a daily basis. You name any small business on earth rocking that kind of respect, and excitement for what they do!? Making it really easy to say "But First Coffee and Bakery" is added to a very short list of places I genuinely look forward to visiting when back in Montana.

The bakery has great old tin plate lining the ceiling and walls and nice wooden floors. The girls at the counter greeted us warmly as we entered and quickly took our order at the counter. It was later morning so there were not as large a selection left. But what was there looked and was indeed delicious! Everything is fresh baked and the coffee was very good. A great place to stop after a awesome motorcycle ride through the mountains after Beartooth.

It's hard to categorize this place. It's almost like a general store and has a little of something…read moreof everything. There are toys, games, some clothes, touristy gifts, candy, jewelry, and some camping-related items, a never-used thermos or two, rain ponchos, etc. Much of the inventory on the non-jewelry and non-food items, were in original packaging and some were even a trip down memory lane just seeing them. I don't know where the owners found them. In the back corner on the lower shelf were typewriters -- refurbished electric typewriters ideal for those who want to be off-line. It was odd, but given the other things here, maybe not so odd. They don't seem to have a website, posted hours (roughly between 8-5), or a phone number. They aren't even located within town, but rather a couple of miles outside of Bridger. The building has a sign, but it's the yellow banners right off the highway that are the markers for where you need to turn. The owner and his wife put together the collection of oddities here and if you're missing something, or not missing something and just want to see or perhaps find something different, this is the place.
