A nice spot for fresh baked goods--muffins, scones and the pies! OMG they look amazing. The service was one of the nicest we've encountered during our stop in Missoula. The place is large with plenty of seating and nice spacious tables. Everything is made to order in front of you--the barista is very hard working! read more

Break Espresso has some truly standout food, but the experience has become pretty inconsistent for me. The homemade pie is divine. Honestly next level. The pastry case is impressive with a huge selection of pastries, bagels, and goodies, including massive pies that are hard to resist. Coffee and tea options cover all the standard classics, plus some fun twists that keep the menu interesting. The coffee is good for the area but nothing outstanding. The space itself is large with plenty of seating options, and it never feels overly crowded, which is a big plus if you want to sit and relax for a while. Unfortunately, the service has gone downhill. The baristas used to be incredibly friendly, remembered drink orders, and made you feel genuinely welcome. Lately, it feels rushed and impersonal, like you're just being pushed through the line with little acknowledgment. The experience has been very hit or miss, which makes it hard to want to return regularly. Overall, amazing pastries and pies, solid drinks, and a great space, but the inconsistency in service is what keeps this from being a frequent stop for me anymore. read more

I didn't stop by here on purpose the other day, but I probably would have if I had seen how cute the interior is! There's so much cozy seating to charge up your phone or work, and a full pastry case. I do wish there were some more food options and I'm sure the coffee is great but matcha was a little weak. read more

Great atmosphere with piping hot coffee and drinks. This is a perfect spot for a quiet work away from home with delicious pastries. You do need to heat your own pastries up if desired. It was really cool being able to sit next to the bakery and watch them work away. Great downtown spot. read more

This place is great I love the 90s coffee house vibe. The selection of pastries, bagels and goodies including massive pies is on another level. They had samples of a danish and coffee cake and they were outstanding. Coffee and tea options included your standard options as well as some fun twists. Highly recommend this place if you're grabbing one to go (service was super quick) or if you have time to take a load off there's plenty of seating and it's kid friendly. read more

Morning coffee as I'm getting to the far end of the central time zone. It's certainly time to find a spot to connect to wifi so that I can work this morning. Thankfully, Break is open early (5:30 am!) and so here we are. The coffee was excellent. The cinnamon roll was very sweet but still delicious. And the seating was comfortable. Four hours of coffee and wifi later, it's time to move on to the next stop. [Review 20826 overall - 88 in Montana - 1810 of 2023.] read more

Definitely come here if you want to be talked to rude, talked down to and made uncomfortable! The baristas need new training or new staff. There's also been multiple people who say the same thing. When brought up to management, she tried blaming me for the reason her barista was rude to me lol. I honestly wasn't surprised when the 'manager' was rude as-well, looks like they are all that way. To the staff: you're in a customer service position, serving guests, act like it! :) I will not be coming back. read more

Such a fun find. Like the gentle lighting and vibe and eclectic crowd. Lots of people there but still felt peaceful. A few breakfast options are available as well lots of pies and pastries. My bagel was so fresh and yummy. Their chai tea latte is just like I like it -- spicy and not too sweet. Service was efficient and friendly while we figured out the stations for paying and ordering We'd certainly return if we found ourselves in town again. read more

I just love this place - the -11 degree walk wasn't as good. Great coffee and an amazing choice of pastries. Friendly employees who will patiently answer my questions. The old wooden tables, the spacious seating area and the country/roots music make it a welcoming place you want to stay for hours. read more

AMAZING FOOD. So wholesome. Loveedddd the muffins and the coffee is great. They have so many flavor options, and the staff members are so kind! The atmosphere is so cool too- I love all the art! read more

This is a open space and the person working the day I went was amazing and attentive! The quiche is decent. I think I'll try something else next time. They have a ginger and echinacea tea that's amazing. The coffee is really good; dark, strong and smooth. I will be back! It's a great place to work and the wifi is strong! read more

The service was great but only problems were that the food was very over priced and not worth it, and the system to check out and order was very chaotic. Finally it felt very unsanitary. read more

I norm never write reviews unless staff is rude. on Sunday June 1st the cashier with grey hair and black glasses made a rude comment to me for being helpful and openly talked politically to a customer without knowing which party they supported. spreading hate. they were out of metal forks that I prefer to use, rather then throwing plastic away or using plastic. I set the empty container on the counter and nicely said you are out of forks. she rudely and dismissively said that was not helpful. while rushing to put it back. their prices have doubled in last 10 years. which she blamed on president Trump saying the price of someone's coffee was a million dollars. customer not saying anything before her comment. read more

My iced latte was decent, staff was friendly, vibe was decent. They have fresh baked goods as a plus. The coffee is mid

Amazing pies . Delicious coffee and the staff are so nice. It's such a warm and cozy place to hang out and have some coffee in the morning with a cinnamon roll or breakfast item. They even have quiche. I'm in deep trouble with all of these pies and pastries. The peach is my favorite. But I'm dying to try the pecan. I took a piece of apple pie and cherry pie home. I love this place. read more

Everything we tasted so far was fantastic. Today we got their Frappe, coffee flavor- it was super good, not that sweet, strong coffee flavor. Texture was smooth, really the best. Ham and cheese quiche was tasty and fresh, just right amount of seasoning, not heavy. The Turtle cheese cake with pecan stole the show, really hard to choose. Everything they have is yummy. Our cashier was super nice and friendly. We'll be back. read more

Love this place. Good sweet and savory foods, good drinks, and Luda is awesome! Though it can be a little loud and sometimes it gets stuffy, it's totally worth it. read more

I had a veggie quiche and warmed it up in 2 30 second bursts. SO GOOD. I'm sure the other quiches are too. We also got a cinnamon roll, berry amazingness, chai, latte, and berry coffee cake? So yes we have experienced a few items and the only issue which is minor is that the cinnamon roll was a little dry. The ambiance of the place is simply splendid- you can tell they care about the community and everyone we encountered felt warm and genuine. If only we had more time to try additional yums. thank you for being an amazing bakery and coffee shop! If I could scoop it up and transplant to Anchorage, I would. Not to say we don't have a few really good places but this spin on baked goods (like deep dish pies) would be welcome there as well, I'm sure. read more

We were there on a very busy Friday night when there was only one barista/server. She made us 4 excellent drinks, wasn't flustered even served us with a smile. She took care of a continuous line of people the whole hour and half we were there! Great playlist too! Awesome atmosphere. read more

It has been a two years since we stumble upon this place. The coffee is great but more importantly their pies are ridiculously great. Rhubarb pie and pecan pie baked like a cake but solid and not overly sweet. Cant wait to go back again one day! read more

This place was really cool on the inside. It was so classic and old-timey with genuine cozy warmth. I am an out-of-towner that just wanted to stop and catch up on work for a short while. But if I studied here, this would 100% be a go-to spot to do my homework. The interior was homey, and felt like a lodge. The large wooden desks, the brick walls, the wood floors. It was very nice on the inside. The best thing is that the prices for coffee products were definitely reasonably priced and affordable. It was full of diversity, different ages and races. Just all types of people. This was a really, really great coffee shop. read more

Great food and coffee, friendly service, and relaxing environment to visit with friends, read a book, or catch up on some work.

I came here to get some work done for a few hours while enjoying a cup of coffee and a pastry. My lemon scone and mocha were both delicious! The staff were very nice. I've also been here before for pie- really good! The vibe is rugged, log cabin, hipster, old man fly fisherman- loved it. Seems like a space both young and old can enjoy. The amount of table space was plentiful- some tables even had desk lamps. The wifi was not quite strong enough to get my work done efficiently so I did not stay too long. I'll come again when I don't have so much work involving the World Wide Web to get done. read more

Great espresso, matcha latte with sweet treats! Low key atmosphere. I go there every time I am in Missoula.

huge homey space! Lots of people studying but also meeting up with friends. Coffee was great, and the baristas were really warm and helpful. The treats looked yummy, wish they had a couple more vegan, gf options but that's def not a deficiency on their part by any means. Will say, though, I had to use my phone's hot spot because their wifi wouldn't work well enough for me to work on Google docs. Would come again regardless! read more

Amazing Dutch apple pie and amazing coffee the ambiance is amazing love the decorations and the barista was so kind! I totally recommend

Break Espresso has to be in my top 3 best cafes I've ever had the pleasure of lounging in! There's been countless times I've walked in and heard a plethora of greetings coming from the baristas who are, without fail, the nicest bunch of servers I've experienced. The coffee is always superb, treats are yummy, and the ambience is unforgettable. I can't recommend Break enough! Order an oat milk americano, a slice of blueberry zucchini bread, and sit back and relax. read more

Went on a date with a boy and barista automatically charged ME for both him & I. My date was going to pay, and barista told him, "oh, she's got it." GREAT SERVICE... NOT COMING BACK. chivalry is apparently not allowed?????????????????????????????????????????? read more

Interesting coffee shop. Large with big wood furniture and brick walls. Big enough for small company meetings of 20-30 depending on how full it is and how many tables you get together. Kind of a self serve. Drip coffee was self serve. They have cold and hot water dispensers you help yourself to. They also have a microwave you can help yourself to. The barista asked me if I wanted my cappuccino "wet or dry". Never had that asked before so I giggled foolishly asking him what it meant. He seemed insulted and said foam (dry) or no foam (wet). If you get foam, you get very little coffee. Pesto Cheese Danishwas good but if you want it hot, you have to toast it yourself. Hazelnut brownie. Good flavor but kind of hard. read more

The barista was super kind but did not know what to recommend I try the strawberry pie was totally nasty the strawberry pure tasted that was left out for days and was already bad then I ask for something different I got a caramel pecan cinnamon roll horrible u can tasted that was probably sitting on there for weeks. Really really bad experience read more

This place has people who are high-strung. Coming here multiple times, each different barista is either anxious as hell off their coffee or natural assholes who are only kind to you soliciting cash for their pockets. Their lattes are overly sweetened and pastries the same cavity inducing level. If you're looking to get diabetes and constipation I guess this is the place. read more

Only been once for tea but it was a good experience, cute ambiance, and pretty reasonably priced. The table I sat at was full of crumbs which is why I am giving 4 stars. read more

Love this place. Lots of tables for those hang out days. Nice place to get some work done. Open late, and on the Main Street. Good atmosphere. And the pies, omg the pies. If you need a pie fix in Missoula this place is for you. Give this place a try, I doubt you'll regret. read more

My friend and I stopped in here after visiting the farmers market in Missoula. Upon walking into the coffee shop, you can tell there's a cool vibe going on in here. The wood floors and wooden tables and chairs give it an eclectic vibe. However, it was a little confusing figuring how the line worked. You would walk up and order your drink from the barista who would then make the drink and then you would hold your drink and pay for it at the other end of the counter. It's a well-intentioned system but all of the customers weren't catching on to it. Also, I ordered a small cafe au lait and my friend ordered an almond milk soy latte. Both were pretty good, but not necessarily the best coffee drinks I've ever had. read more
