Somehow I got lucky and there was no line when we showed up. That hadn't been the case when we drove by and tried to visit earlier in our trip. I had an iced latte and my husband an iced Americano. Both were very good and you can tell they take time brewing their shots. We also tried a breakfast sandwich on a jalapeño bagel and bacon, and it was very good! Tasted like it was out of a bagel shop in NYC. We also ordered a breakfast burrito with bacon and it was not your average burrito. It was more of a wrap, but it was GOOD! And the salsa was fire! Spicy and very tasty. Homemade for sure! We will surely be back when in the area! Highly recommend you do the same

Is it the best coffee of your life, probably not. However, it's a solid 8.5/10, and considering the area I am giving this a 10/10! We had been camping, driving, hiking, etc for the past few days and it was wonderful to find such a great coffee shop in this region. Definitely give it a try! Also, service was friendly, and it only took a couple mins despite there being a car in front of us in the drive through.

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!

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 specialties are healthy burritos, sandwiches and home-baked cookies, but you really can't go wrong. No laptop lone-rangers here. The culture is more Viennese coffeehouse than Starbucks. Locals come here to socialize and talk politics. Plenty of fodder since the economy in this part of the world is highly dependent on tourism, wildlife and extraction industries. Lots of kids too, their favorite topic of conversation being Jackson, a bison that grazes in downtown, and wolves in nearby Lamar Valley. Chris the owner and the mainly local patrons are friendly and a ready source of insider tips about YNP, the Beartooth Highway and surroundings. Jazz and Blues memorabilia hangs throughout. They sell a few books from local authors. Love the coffee, food, klatsch, and the ambience. Highly recommend Loving Cup if you're staying nearby or as a stop if you're passing through on the Beartooth Highway.
