New breakfast menu - all options are great here. & they make their own pumpkin spice for the season!

Coffee, donuts and breakfast sandwiches, oh my. The Annex is always a treat and when youre in the mood for breakfast its even better.

Truly the best coffee in the area. No further explanation needed.

Amazing spot for coffee and treats with friends! You can definitely take Instagram worthy photos here. They care so much about the quality of coffee, and everything is hand made and locally sourced. So great to be supporting local!

If you enjoy culinary adventures, the Annex Coffeehouse is a surprise you dont want to miss. Huge portions could easily feed two. The price matches the meal--well worth it. The online menu is a great way to allow Chef to introduce new dishes on a daily basis. I marked it down one star because I would prefer unambiguous descriptions for each dish as opposed to the poetically embellished descriptions I experienced on my visit.

Definitely a unique experience. The food was an artful creation of unique and unexpected flavor. The lemon and lavender doughnut was incredible. Not the typical over sweetened lemon flavor with an after taste of lavender. Subtle but distinguished. Prices can be a little high so not somewhere I would go every day, however, I will definitely return and recommend it to anyone looking for unique experience.

This place is my new jam. Killer location in an old downtown Billings building. Preserved, but with modern additions. Their cases were filled with beautiful pastries, my tea choice was the Montana fog. What a treat! Hope it is a permanent on the menu. Look forward to the summer patio. Might be my new outdoor office! 😉

My wife said I needed to write that this place is too cute and Alicia was a sweetheart. The quiche was delicious and moist, the homemade donut was on point, and the coffer and Chai was superb. We really enjoyed the vibe of this place and would highly recommend anyone to step away from the ordinary and give this place a shot. You wont be disappointed and will likely find a new favorite spot!

Okay coffee. Excellent maple donut. Good service.

One of the best coffee shops! Great selection of coffee drinks, from the “usual” options to unique and seasonal flavors. Highly recommend a rosemary lavender latte! There’s always a case full of treats and baked goods, and the atmosphere is cozy but modern. Love watching the train go by, can’t wait to try the patio during the summer. Also really appreciate the easy, free parking - makes stopping by really convenient for a downtown location.

Coffee is great but the food was even better! We ate the food too fast for the picture. The burrito had sweet potatoes and black beans in it.. yum!

Love this place! The donuts are HUGE and have really interesting flavors. I havent tried other foods yet, so I cannot speak to those, but the donuts are yummy. They also make their own caramel, so its hard to beat their caramel lattes!

Great food; coffee not sure what I ordered I didnt care for but was trying something new.

Got an amazing breakfast burrito, crossiant and donut. The coffee was also tastey. Definitely will stop if we pass thru Billings again.

This place is great! Super trendy hipster, great coffee and baked goods. A fun place to start the day as they always have something amazing to try in the case. Also a good place to soak up some atmosphere and do work.

Its a good thing I dont live in Billings or Id spend all my time and money at this cute coffee shop. I walked in to the smell of fresh pretzels (LIKE WHAT?!!) and the cutest place - complete with a kids corner and outdoor patio seating. I grabbed my niece a white chocolate latte and I had an almond milk latte - both were great but I almost stole hers. The flavor was delicious! They also had freshly roasted coffee beans and syrup for purchase to make your own at home.

A great place to have coffee and a snack.

Oh yum! Great place to go for tea/coffee and pastries. Free Wi-Fi in case you have work to do. Loved the atmosphere friendly staff!

Neat, small place. Food selection a little limited but the doughnut and croissants we had were excellent.

I ordered a ham croissant heated to go, and despite taking what seemed like forever to heat up, it was cold in the middle. I wouldnt have minded since it was delicious, but once upon a time in another place I got food poisoning from a ham croissant that had been sitting in the display for a bit and wasnt properly heated, so I take such this seriously.

MIND blowing pastries. Glad I stopped while in town. Made a great client gift.

Excellent service! The food was awesome, and the cappuccino was incredible!

Loved the breakfast burrito and great coffee

Superb shop focused on excellent espresso & baked goods. The success of both ventures is quite clear! Atmosphere is a laid-back industrial/modern and easy for work or conversation. One of the top coffee shops in Billings IMO.

Chill place. Great coffee with exceptional pastries. Try the pour over coffee!

Simple and sleek modern designed new cafe with great parking, WiFi, and food, close to downtown.

I had a really good cup of coffee here and an incredible pastry. A true gem.

While Billings is in no shortage of coffeehouses, The Annex is something special. The bakery/coffee combo is a tried and true combination, and when have offerings such as blood orange donuts with Earl Grey Filling paired with Revel coffee then its a match made in heaven.

Great coffee, friendly baristas and bright, comfortable atmosphere. The baristas take the time to artisanal-ize their lattes. This place is usually quite and a great place to study. A neat view of passing trains is offered in the back.

Great coffee, baked foods always different and fabulous

We went to The Fieldhouse for dinner yesterday and heard people from next table recommended this place. We came in the morning with our two year old. We all enjoyed the time here. The two year old had great time at the kids corner and we had yummy lavender rosemary coffee, xxx cream (i don’t remember the name, it’s a breakfast bowl with matcha, avocado, banana etc) and the rosemary goat cheese croissant. Yummy yummy!

One of the best coffee houses Ive been to. Everyone there is so beautiful and the vibes are super friendly. 10/10 - about to be a regular

Great local spot to grab some coffee and a light breakfast, I recommend the breakfast burrito, it is excellent. Coffee was very good with all the familiar options. Popular place on the weekends but well worth any potential wait you may have.

Excellent customer service. Fantastic baked goods and coffee. Will definitely be back!

A proper cup of coffee! Best I have had in Billings. I spent the last five nights here in town and this is the best place I have had coffee (tried 3 others). The burrito is very good and so are there baked Goods. The cake donuts are made daily and are dense.If you love Ethiopian coffee get the pour over.

Awesome vibes, great donuts, great coffee (from Seattle) and friendly staff. Next time Im in Billings I will be stopping by.

Great drinks and atmosphere. We were really enjoying the ambiance until a new group arrived and asked for the music to be turned down...which the staff did...without even asking us!Mood interrupted. Good time over. We left.PS the music wasnt loud or offensive

Servers not practicing my COVID safely1 had a chin guard. Other nose uncovered while making your coffee. No gloves.

Such a pretty little cafe. The food was delicious and the seasonal flavorings were very unique and tasty as well.

The Annex has a super trendy space. If you love Instagramming, this is a must stop. Their charcoal latte sounds super cool, but it doesnt affect the flavor at all. Their pastries are by far their best strength: they make everything in house, and their attention to detail and good design is impeccable. My favorite one Ive tried is the square (yes, square) hibiscus donut.

The Annex has an urban retreat feel to it and its great for relaxing with a delicious cup of coffee. I don’t like my coffees super sweet, and they make them just right. Each coffee has just enough flavor to make me want to come back for more. I even buy their coffee beans to make lattes at home. They really care about what they make and they take pride in their craft of coffee making. They use different Montana made products which makes your experience unique as well. If you haven’t tried their scrumptious treats you are totally missing out! Their breakfast burritos are to die for, if you like croissant rolls, they have a great ham and cheese one that is worth getting too. This coffee shop is quiet enough that you can have business meetings, or coffee with friends and you won’t feel crowded. I absolutely love the Annex!

After traveling from Florida, DC, Idaho and places in between; pastry and tea or coffee from the Annex remains one of my favorite breakfasts! The baked goods are inspiring and clearly cooked by an experienced baker. The coffee and tea selections are no nonsense perfection and the service is friendly and genuine!

Great place to hangout.

The buttercream frosting on the sugar cookies almost made me cry. The coffee was wonderful, and the ham and gruyère croissant was the best I’ve ever had.

Delicious food and coffee but a little pricey. Worth it though

Friendly staff. Good coffee. They make their own almond milk. It is a bit different, but really enjoyable.

My wifes goto for starting the day.

Found this cute,eclectic coffeehouse while looking around Billings Depot. The exposed brick, the paintings, and the decorations all tied together to create a beautiful ambience. Coffee was very good too. Highly recommend!

Great place, real friendly service an a great atmosphere

I’ve always been a coffee lover, but the Annex has pushed me over the edge.... They use my favorite local coffee roaster (who has garnered national attention) and I love the time and care they put into their coffee and bakery. They are located on historic Minnesota Avenue and have a laid-back vibe combined with the best cuppa joe that will get you addicted.

SOLID breakfast burrito, best I’ve found in Billings . Magical doughnuts and a hip atmosphere.

A spot I wish I could get to every day! The Annex is always inviting with friendly staff, a clean atmosphere and uniqueness that I crave in Billings. Love to grab an iced drink in the summer and head to the patio, or cozy up inside in the winter.

Honestly wish I would have gone to Starbucks or city brew. I thought I was going to have a great experience and instead I got a bland coffee that was so over filled I couldnt even take it to my seat without spilling it all over myself and getting all sticky. The same over filling happened with both of my friends coffees as well causing a huge mess. The cashier set the bar extremely high when explaining how exquisite there coffee is. When in all reality it was the same thing I could have made at home. There is no option of blended coffee only hot or iced. (Both extremely bland) Save yourself the hassle of going through the struggle of spilling on your self and buying a coffee you could have made at home for the same taste at way less of a cost. This place is purely for looks. The coffee and atmosphere appear to be great however once you taste the coffee itself it completely ruined the vibe of the coffee shop. Not worth the gas or the cost of buying a coffee. Unless you love bland coffee then this is the perfect option for you.

Ordered blueberry pancakes. Pretty unexceptional, two were darker, burned, than than seemed acceptable. The pancakes were served on a luncheon plate that made eating less than four at a time a bit of a challenge. Coffee was refilled at good interval.

Great relaxing atmosphere. Amazing little bakery and espresso offerings that are custom and local. They make their own Kampuchea and a mean cappuccino. Perfect place to sit with a laptop and get some writing done with free WiFi and ample places to plug-in. Staff is friendly and helpful and even offered a free warm-up on my tea. Really adds to the quality of the experience. Set right next to the railroad tracks in a historic downtown brick building, the atmosphere is great for creative writing. I will definitely be back - often!

Coffee was good, food was tasty, and the atmosphere was great. Good place to sit and talk with friends, I will definatly be back in the future

The Annex thrives with style and creativity. Traditional, artisan-inspired pastries and coffee with an unconventional flair such as a savory gallant makes this shop stand out from other coffee shops and bakeries in the area. Quality find!

Great local coffee house. Loved the baked oatmeal!Easy parking.

Trendy and friendly. Closest to a Portland coffee joint. I enjoyed it

Good latte and casual atmosphere.

Possibly the best bread I have ever eaten, and I love bread. Akin to the best Ive had in Europe, but better! Chewy crust beyond compare. Couple that with their superb lattes, and youve had a peak experience. And friendly and engaging. I was just passing through, and they were recommended by a wonderful staffperson at the KOA recommended them; bless her. Ill be back when we return from our Alaska sojourn, and then Ill by some of their bulk Sumatran coffee beans, and a million loaves of the bread!

Great donuts and delicious coffee.

Best coffee Ive had in Billings by far. Light roast similar to Stumptown beans with fantastic pastries and quiches for breakfast. Good spot for the kids to play in the corner very nice atmosphere.

Cool vibe and the coffee was nice and hot, but I was really unimpressed by the service and baked goods. The girl I interacted with was offputtingly rude. Latte tasted just like milk. Almond croissant had beautiful croissant pastry, but had an unfortunate strong taste of almond extract, was covered in an extremely sweet icing, and did not come filled with any marzipan, even though I asked if it did. The donut was heavy and even though it was fresh it tasted a bit dry and instead of tasting like the flavor it was supposed to be it just tasted like sugar. The bill was very expensive for such mediocrity. Maybe this is great for Billings?

Very fun atmosphere and GREAT serivce. They were all so friendly and eager to help. I really enjoyed it there.

Wonderful atmosphere and best burger and shoe string fries in town!

Its unfortunate that 1 bad experience can create lasting impressions. Especially because it was my first time at the Annex and I was beyond excited to try it out! The employee working during the afternoon of 8-22-2017 was incredibly rude when I asked her a question about a drink on the menu. Now I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, everyone has bad days. But it seemed as if my business there was inconveniencing her so much. There was no greeting, no smile, and she might as well have been rolling her eyes the entire time we were conversing. Went I went to add creamer to my coffee she told me they were out. HOW IS A COFFEE PLACE OUT OF CREAM??! Isnt that the kind of thing you send someone out to get right away or borrow it from the Fieldhouse right next door? If it had been one thing or the other, I might have given this place another shot.

Yep. Its worth it to come to Billings if this is literally the only thing you do. Super good coffee and pastries. Get the Queen Amman. You wont be sorry.

Warm engaging staff, great baking ❤️ and the best coffee east of Portland.

Lukewarm coffee...everytime.

Friendly barista! And excellent coffee! We loved this place and think it belongs in Seattle! The kids had wonderful breakfast of a ham and cheese croissant and a frittata that was out of this world, moist and delicious

Overpriced, burned food, gross donuts... No need to say more.

Huckleberry, beet and goat cheese glazed donut tasted incredible.

Amazing staff and great coffee, everything is made in house which i think makes a huge difference. Would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys a good cup of coffee and a great hang out spot.

You always know that a coffee place is good when it makes you feel like you need to work on yourself and become cooler. Easily the best coffee in Billings with at atmosphere that makes Urban Outfitters look like Shopco.

A little out of the way but its a cozy spot and their baked goods are wonderful.

Cozy book in the wall. Used butter yay! Delicious iced tea

Really lousy baked goods. The coffee was decent but let’s be real, you can get good coffee at tons of places. The savory croissants taste terrible. It was over the top mustard. The fancy donuts are well intentioned but poorly executed (ie chai donuts. Sounds great, tastes like cardboard). I’ve been here 3 or 4 times for their pastrys and probably won’t go back for a while to see if they can fix their menu.Suggestion- stick to the basics. Some plain croissants. A normal glazed donut. A scone without 5 flavors.

Really great, love the design and the food is delicious (I had the ham and cheese croissant). Definitely would recommend and come back again

Lovely little cafe. The coffee was excellent. The food was just a good.

Great coffee. Bakery items are fresh and delish!!!

This place is adorable and has amazing coffee and pastries to boot!

Pretty cool vibes in here and the food/coffee is good, but they need a better seating layout and a little less expensive would be nice

Scone was dry, service was friendly, a d atmosphere was relaxing.

Favorite quiet place for coffee, baked goods, and spotting train graffiti.

Great coffee, great bakery, great staff, great atmosphere!

Friendly staff, but waited 20 minutes for just one drink

All was great for a quick cup o joe!

If you are looking for something different, but delicious. This is the place.

Theyve hired better help and that makes all the difference! Coffee and food is always top notch!

Latte with lavender and rosemary with a brownie laced with fresh strawberries

Great place for coffee and goodies.

Great coffee, good atmosphere, and excellent WiFi. 😎

Great atmosphere and wonderful service.

Great place for coffee and sourdough crumpets.

Excellent high quality coffee and pastries.

Great coffee and pastries.

If youre close and wanting coffee do not pass this place up!!!

Good coffee and great doughnuts.

Beautiful deco . Great coffee
