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.

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.

They also offer chorizo breakfast burritos and sausage breakfast burritos. My husband had the sausage burrito and said it was delicious. They are made ahead and warmed up at the time of the order, so the tortilla was a little soggy. But it still tasted good. I bought a scone. I'm not sure of the name, but it tastes like butter pecan. When we were there at 6:30 am, there was only one employee, so we had a little wait. But that's OK, the coffee is delicious. My husband had the French toast Frappuccino, and I have the Helping Hand Iced Coffee.

Knew we weren't going to find a lot of food options in Yellowstone, so chose to stop at the Beartooth Café before entering. Cooke city is a cute little town that was hopping at the end of August. We did have to wait 10 or 15 minutes for a table, but there is a cute souvenir shop right next-door that kept us busy while we were waiting. The restaurant staff is super friendly and helpful, and the food really hit the spot. We were grateful for the chance to get something good to eat and use the restroom before heading into the park. They also have a gas station so we could fill up and not have to worry about that either. If this is the route you were taking on your visit to Yellowstone, I would definitely recommend a stop here!

Cute find in a small town near the north entrance of Yellowstone…read more Very few food options so this cozy spot was packed. The hosts were very friendly and hardworking. Food was a simple and yummy find across from our motel. My burger was charred just right, the bun wad very dry; the side salad was deliciously crisp.

This was a shock to us, never heard of such a thing!!!
