Great pasties Tasty coffee, but rarely open! I like to go late afternoon but the door is closed and locked so often that I don't go there anymore. Hours are chaotic. When open.... Pretty good, eclectic atmosphere read more

Pasty was "ok," not like one you would get in Butte. Crust & gravy was nice, but the filling was ground meat and hash browns. Love the pics of old Butte, but don't really care to be bombarded with political causes read more

Place looks a bit rough from the outside, but has the best cinnamon rolls in town! Super good and baked fresh daily! The inside has a pretty nice lobby with tables and a couch. Would love to see them add some more lighting as it seems like a cave inside. Some more light would make it more like a working space and bring in that "cafe" feel. I'll for sure be back here to try the coffee and have another cinnamon roll! They also sell the pastries at Big Creek down the road, but the coffee is really bad at Big Creek - will be going to Mineshaft from now on. read more

Mineshaft Pasty - Pastries as of 11/29/21 - American Near Me - Hamilton, Montana

Everything I've had from here has been amazing. I'm not sure why Hamilton has the best iced Mochas, but the one from Mineshaft is my new favorite. The friendly barista suggested I add a shot of peppermint which was a brilliant idea. All of the scones are insanely good. The Huckleberry Lemon is my favorite, followed by the Orange Cranberry, but you can't go wrong with any of the flavors. On a whim I grabbed a Whoopie Pie too. I always *think* I'll like Whoopie Pies and then I'm always disappointed and end up tossing them after one or two bites. BUT I finally found one that's perfect! read more

Food and service remarkable. Scones are the best I've ever had. Get there early things go fast!!

Just all around good, if you want breakfast or lunch or just a quick coffee and a great go along they'll fix you up. Super simple and delicious baked goods, scones, muffins, cookies and more. Gabe is always friendly and has some great suggestions for a good time while you're in the shaft. read more

The breakfast Pasty is perfection! The dough is not too thick and it is just a little crispy. The potato, egg and sausage were amazing, but the real winner is their gravy. It is a warm creamy peppery gravy that compliments the pasty well. Mineshaft Pasty is a comfortable place to get a great cup of coffee and a bite. We sat on the couch and just relaxed with our Mocha coffees and breakfast. The staff is super friendly and we were told if you call in they will put aside the huckleberry lemon scones until you get there. Those sell out everyday. read more

Food, service, and ambiance are top notch. From the calming and comfortable atmosphere that gives an at home feeling to the authentic, friendly conversation of the lovely person working, I am so thrilled we stopped here. The pasty options were unique, filling, and satisfied all of our savory taste buds. We tried each of the pasty options and for the sweet tooth, we got the bam bam bar and coffee cake muffin. Yum, yum, yum to it all! Stop here if you're looking for comfort, kindness, and deliciousness read more

We have been on the search for a nice sit down coffee and bakery in town, this has become our new spot. Coffee is great with many options and the baked goods, or menu items have been great every time we have stopped in. Staff are all amazing and friendly, super helpful too. read more

We visit Montana 3-5x year, always been big creek coffee goers, after discovering black coffee in missoula a few weeks ago I was loving how convenient I can order a cold brew 15 minutes rather than driving an hour away. Met the owner today, love what she offers the community, she is finalizing set up for hiking rentals...really cool and overall inviting atmosphere. Took our almost 2 year old son in, purchased one cookie and she gave us 2. Will gladly be vacation before heading home next week. read more

Always super tasty pasties! Especially on a cold winter day. Nice to eat in or take to go. A fun place that I'm happy to have nearby and always a treat for guests who come visit to try. read more

Overrated pastry. I was told the cinnamon bun was the best in Hamilton but I've had better in several places. Atmosphere is dark. Staff not very friendly. Closed Saturday! read more

Great family-run business serving the BEST pasties and scones ever! The breakfast pasties with sausage gravy are a must! Also appreciate their welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, support of local community events, and recognition of Pride month! read more

Full disclosure, I've never had a pasty in my life until I came here.... and I'm probably never having another one as good. I've been spoiled. My favorite is the traditional Cornish hen with gravy. It's as much filling as is it flavorful. The service in the restaurant is warm and cozy, they treat you like family. The location in downtown is also very convenience as it has a lot of parking. If you go to Hamilton and you don't come here, you're missing out. read more

Food was amazing we had the pork with salsa verde and was pleasantly surprised. Would give it five stars but we're we're done with lunch before receiving our coffee. I think more staff during the lunch period would be a good idea. We had a gluten free scone that was absolutely marvelous. read more

Best cookies ever! Fantastic people, cozy & fun atmosphere, delicious food & drinks. What more could you ask for?!

We live in California and come to visit our daughter in Missoula. Whenever we come we make it a point to hit up the Mineshaft. Their pasty's are excellent, there pastries are even better and they have the nicest, happiest employees. Check it out. You will not be disappointed. read more

This is my favorite place to eat when I'm in the area. Pasties are hard to come by, even in a state steeped in Irish heritage. Really good pasties... impossible. Mineshaft blows you away with the creativity and variety in flavors and consistent deliciousness. Their wide selection of other pastries and breakfast items will make your mouth water. My kids love the mini chocolate lava cakes. Well worth the clean up! I've been impressed by the way this business adjusted what they do during COVID-19. They're a small family owned business like all the rest. They've worked hard to keep Montana well fed in a safe way during this strange time. Looking forward to picking up some cinnamon rolls and pasties that we will have for Easter later today. read more

Delicious pastries & pasties. Coffee could have been a little hotter. Nice down to Earth vibe.

Always consistent quality comfort food. Been there many times and the only 'disappointment' is if they've run out of the type I wanted, which just testifies to their popularity. read more

Great pastries. Always my go to for a mid-workday treat. The owners are awesome and truly care about our community.

Not only provides the best classic pastie and the best chocolate chip cookie, but is innovative and creative. Community supporting as well. Don't miss this place when in Hamilton! read more

A hidden gem in the Bitterroot! I've only had their scones (huckleberry/lemon, huckleberry/white chocolate and blackberry/lavender/white chocolate) and fancy coffee (Mineshaft - chai, espresso & vanilla) but all are the most delicious I have ever had (and I am a huge fan of small batch bakeries!). The woman who helps me is very warm and friendly, and shared that she and her mom make the pastries. I wish I knew their baking secrets! The vibe inside feels like a cozy neighborhood gathering place and each time I've been there are small gatherings of locals who have settled in for a proper catch up. The pricetag is great and the quality of the scones and coffee is unparalleled. I wish we had a place like this where I live in California! read more

Serves pasties, which are somewhere between calzones and handheld Aussie pies. There's not just the traditional Cornish pasty of beef-onion-potato, but weird ideas of their own creation which vary day to day. On the menu that day besides the Cornish were a breakfast pasty (with scrambled eggs, potato, and I don't remember what else) and what I got, pork with cheese, hominy, onions, chiles, and salsa. This was not only much tastier than it sounds, it was big enough to save up half for reheating later, at which it was just as good. read more

This is a very special place with amazing offerings and even more amazing people serving one. I most highly recommend the Mineshaft

Great food. Pasty's are excellent and cookies are the best. Only complaint is they run out of pasty's quickly during the day and they have a rotational menu of some real gems that aren't always available. read more

Delicious!!! I've only had pasties (pastys?) in Michigan and there they are very traditional and utilitarian... ground beef, potatoes, rutabagas. Mineshaft makes not only a beautiful pasty, but they have a delightful way of creating inventive flavors. Breakfast pasty with eggs, yummy additions like mushrooms, cheese, pulled pork, beef tenderloin, even a vegetarian option! My only complaint but s that they were out the of the one I really wanted to try (The Hipster). They also serve a full range of espresso drinks and coffees to go with their house baked cookies, cupcakes and scones. The vibe is very relaxed and the walls are covered with art by local artists. A great place to take your laptop and get a little work done or relax with a book. read more

A friend recommended Mineshaft Pasty and it did not disappoint! Great coffee & the BEST pumpkin muffins! The staff there are the friendliest people you will ever meet!! They are definitely the reason I keep going back. They always have a genuine smile on there faces. I have some crazy coffee orders sometimes and they don't even bat an eye! They got ya! read more

Great pasties. The pastie maker must be from Butte. Service is quick and efficient. Pasties and gravy are always warm.

This may be a very short review as I must drive back down to Mineshaft Pasty, immediately, so that I can purchase every remaining pasty in the shop. I picked up several of their pasties; the beef, potato onion and the breakfast pasty. Both were outstanding! Just the gravy for both was phenomenal. The crust was flaky and light. The fillings were mouth wateringly delicious. I grabbed several cinnamon rolls on recommendation along with an assortment of cookies and some scones. I've yet to try the aforementioned goodies as I'm still swooning from the pasties. Don't delay. Drop whatever you're doing and drive down to Hamilton right now so that you too can partake in the glory that is Mineshaft pasty. But, you better hurry cuz I'm almost there and they are all mine! read more

I love this shop!! The staff is so kind and the food and drinks are always top notch! If you are looking for a cozy study spot it is quiet and has wonderful local artists displayed on the walls! read more

Grabbed some pasties to go for dinner tonight. First time here and oh so good :-) The two young ladies behind the counter warmly greeted us and took the time (even though they were about ready to close for the night) to explain the pasties that were available and sweetly helped us with our order. Impressed with service off the bat... Then, the best part ... When we got home and began eating wow! Sooo delicious. For those of you new to pasties, they are a folded pastry case with a savoury filling, typically of seasoned meat, potatoes and veggies. Seriously, the pastry is amazing! It's flaky, flavorful and holds together well. The pocket contents are delicious. We had some Cornish pasties with brown gravy and a Green Pig pasty with a Chili Verde sauce - both excellent! Will definitely be going back again and again :-) read more

Liked the Cornish pasty even though I'm not really into that much dough....just me. The inside was delish and the dipping sauce was amazing. Had to get it to go as I was about to teach a class. I'll be back to try the other pasty variety and gluten free scones. Also very yummy coffee. Just way too many good places in Hamilton for breakfast and lunch. This will definitely be on my list read more

Visiting the area briefly one morning I stumbled upon Mineshaft Pasty a hidden gem in the area. I planned to have a quick scone and a cup of coffee. One hour later I had finished the huckleberry lemon scone and was dying for more. I was watching others eating something that looks like a light version of a calzone. I couldn't resist and I'm so happy I didn't. The breakfast Pasty was fabulous, light with a lot of flavor and the crust was incredible. This is a must visit local shop. The mission is to creat a community meeting area and to create a place for to owners teens to learn work ethic. My hat is off to this couple following a dream and helping others at the same time. Stop in if you are in the area. read more

Welcoming and genuinely kind service. We had the breakfast pasty with gravy on top and it was perfect. All ingredients were perfectly cooked and the pasty held up great under the gravy (didn't get soggy). Clean & great looking interior too. read more

We had heard about this place from a website called "Only in Your State - Montana" and they did not disappoint. First try for us and we both found them to be quite tasty (only had meat pies left). Their baked items (scones) we very good too. Young man who waited on us was very friendly and engaging. Definitely worth your stop. read more

Makes cappuccinos perfectly. And, I have never been disappointed in my pastry selection. Cookies are legit, as are the huckleberry lemon scones!!! read more

Wow! Root beer floats, just like the old days. Chocolate chip cookies are fabulous!!!
