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.

There's also a tiny bookstore indoors where you can buy some books below market value. Additionally, the artist upstairs has some really nice exhibits from local artists from Montana! The place, Cooke City is very picturesque even in spring/summer and would be a great place to soak in some alpine views and walk down the streets of this tiny town.
