We were planning a visit to Missoula from out of state to celebrate my husbands birthday. I wanted to order a custom theme cake for the occasion. I found Black Cat Bake Shop online and was so glad I did!Lisa at the bakery helped me and was amazing during the whole process. We corresponded by email in regard to cake flavor, decorations etc.I had an idea of what I wanted and Lisa made it come to fruition. I felt so comfortable during the whole process and knew I was in good hands. The cake came out awesome and was exactly what I wanted plus more! As far as cake quality it was one of the best I have ever hadEveryone commented on how good it was.Thank you Lisa and Black Cat Bake Shop! :)

Absolutely amazing pastries love the very berry croissant and great breakfast sandwiches and burritos. I stop by on the way to the airport if I have a later morning flight.Though last few two times my mocha coffee was just a latte with chocolate at the bottom which was disappointing. Still worth a stop for the baked goods.

A-maz-ing. This coffee/bakery shop exceeded my expectations. LOTS of options that look and taste *wonderful*. Good coffee options and they had a medium syrup list, but a flavor that I have found nowhere else. Flavors like lavender and rose have become more popular, but this place has VIOLET. Not to mention the adorable cat decor. Theyve got their whole atmosphere going on. Lower end of typical pricing for a local coffee shop. Not a lot of space in the shop to sit, but lets be honest, we are here for the croissants.

Best cake shop in town. Great service, they go above and beyond, red velvet cupcakes are the best! I also like their lattes, tastes like fresh coffee beans.

Just tried their gluten free donuts. Absolutely loved loved the pumpkin iced donut with chopped pecans. I’ll be back for another one this week!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously 😳

Best morning glory muffin of my life! Cant wait to dig into my cannolis next :) amazing selection and friendly staff. Great experience.

The absolute best chocolate croissants I have ever tasted. The white chocolate raspberry croissant is a must try!!

Always a great experience at Black Cat. We chose them to do our super simple 8 round Wedding Cake and they NAILED IT. We wanted super simple chocolate with white frosting, and they did a cherry flavorinside that was wildly popular!

What a disappointing experience... The team at Black cat were really great over the phone. Very helpful and kind! Once I went to pick up the cake and cupcakes I ordered..... what a let-down. Beyond rude and absolutely zero help. I was invited to bring in my cake topper and was told they would place for me on the cake. Not only was I told no, but I got a nice big dose of the “duh” look. The cake wasn’t bad but it also wasn’t so great that I would put up with the store front team. No thanks.

Super nice staff, and amazing food/coffee! I love Black cats! 🖤🖤

Great pace! Love the fact they make dog biscuits and will tell you the ingredients. My dog has allergies and they were very kind to let me know what he was getting in the treat.Love the chocolate cherry GF cookie!

Lovely bakery with great frittata and other baked goods! GF donuts were good, spongey texture if you like that.

I’ve never had a coffee cake so good! Consistently delivering top quality food. Cupcakes are moist and delicious, breakfast burrito is a screaming deal and somehow they still manage to put huckleberries in their baked goods!

Lady behind the counter recommend the huckleberry bear claw and she was right. Fresh flaky pastry on a plate was pretty nice. Was not too crowded at 8 on Tuesday, would stop again. Short drive off interstate. Coffee and pastry $5.75.

It was good. I will come back. So many things to try.

Poor experience with my mom while visiting her this weekend. Had to check them out online after the fact and appalled to know they supported hurting low income individuals struggling during these times simply because they cant pay a living wage. As a book keeper by trade for small businesses if you cant afford to pay your employees what they are worth you are not entitled to be business. I will never support a business that doesnt support the working class that helps build it.

Great service, AMAZING FOOD!

We go to Black Cat Bake Shop when we feel like having something decadent to eat. We have particularly enjoyed the Raspberry Pave’. They have many other choices. Our daughter has sent us one of their stollens they make during the Christmas season. One cutesy thing: if you adopt a black (or nearly so) cat from the SPCA, you get a gift card. Pretty sweet deal in a lot of ways.

Recommended! I had camped just South of Lolo and we decided to ride into Missoula for breakfast. MUCH better than expected and all very fresh. Worth the stop!I had their breakfast sandwich. I honestly could not tell you what is on it... but it was made in heaven!

The best bakery!

It is a great place for food and goodys

Love this place. Great parking, service, wonderful food. Always try to stop here when I stay in Missoula

I got a German chocolate cupcake and and Chardonnay with huckleberry and lemon cupcake. Both were extremely dry but especially the chocolate cake. Pretty disappointed considering the cost. On a positive the savory croissant was pretty tasty and they were buy one get one 40% off. We only tried the sausage and roasted red pepper one so far. In the future I’ll stick to Bernices for cake items. This was my third try in a few years and the cake was not up to par.

If you want workers why dont you pay more than poverty wages? 10.50 an hour is an insult.

Pricey but good

Black Cat Bakery is absolutely one of the best places Ive ever dealt with, from the food to the service! Unfortunately I lost my stepdad to cancer the other day and with me in Wyoming, I wanted to send some bakes goods the next morning so my mother didnt have to be bothered with any early food preparation. I googled and chose Black Cat and thank goodness I did. They were so polite and prompt with delivery, and delicious as I have heard from all my family. Very reasonable...best money I ever spent. I cant wait to get to town to visit and eat in person.Thanks so much,Ryan L.....Sheridan, WY

Fantastic, gormet baked goods and a lot of them are gluten-free! Ill be a frequent customer.

One of the best local bakeries. Nice selection and friendly service.

Wanted a unique geode-style cake for my wedding and had some challenges finding someone willing/available to do this for me. Contacted Black Cat and I was blown away by the professionalism and the flexibility (offered a cake tasting three days before because I was coming from out of town). Lisa gave me exactly what I wanted and I got many compliments on the look and the taste-highly recommend this shop!

Amazing bakery, great coffee, and friendly service!!!

Its sad when people think key lime pie has to be green. The cupcakes are dry and crumbly. Maybe the owner needs to stop yelling at the employees.

Amazing baked goods! I sincerely hope at some point that plain croissants become a regular offering - filled is great, but sometimes less is more and their base croissant is fantastic.I had the biscuits and gravy recently and it has a sweet undertone with a pleasantly mild spice in the gravy itself. So good and very filling.Theyre my go-to for celebratory cakes as well. Beautifully made offerings and just the right size for how incredibly rich they taste.

My new favorite cafe/coffee shop! Their baked goods are the best Ive had in town, and their coffee is close behind. They have a vanilla chai latte that is basically a hug in a cup.

We dont come here often cause its far away and the food is super heavy... but Ive never been disappointed by anything Ive gotten here. Delicious, nice people, amazing (heavy) baked goods of all sorts. I like their savory stuff most. They Also make the prettiest cakes if you want to bring something for a party, not too bad at around $30.

This place is awesome! My husband and I got the Cubano melt, strawberry lemon bar, flourless chocolate torte, and the Italian cannoli. Everything was beyond delicious. The meat in the cubano was tender and the bread was perfect. The torte was rich and moist. The strawberry lemon bar had just the right amount of sour. The cannoli was creamy and not too sweet. The employees were kind and helpful. We live about an hour from Missoula and this is going to be a stop every time we head into town. I also love that they promote the adoption of black cats (who have sadly low adoption rates!) we’ve got two black kitties ourselves and love the representation of our sweet boys. Thank you so much, Black Cat!

My daughter bought her boss a special cake for a baby shower last week and the head fell off and the cake was $106. This shop offered her a $40 refund. My daughter works in a shop that does over 700 clients a week. They stand behind their work and have pride in their work. This bake shop does not. On top of the head falling off the cake was dry and crumbling. This is the first time she has been disapointed. Sad deal but if this bakery does not back up their product then take your chances. Hope the next guy gets treated better than our daughter did.

Great pastries and good coffee. Staff seems nice are are expediant.

I’ll never know if the food was good because I was treated so rudely 😢Went in when the door was open at six twenty, was greeted with a look that made me want to leave right away I spent some time in awkward silence then finally asked if they had a breakfast sandwich? Only to be looked at again like I had done something wrong. No ! She said firmly so I asked if they would have any soon she rolled her eyes looked in the back for one second and said not for a while . How long I said . At ten minutes she said okay ten minutes i replied, probably more she said sharply . That’s when I left 😢 I saw on the door that they didn’t open till six thirty but I was never told that, I will stick to Berenice’ s bakery where the people greet you kindly

The biscuits are absolutely amazing, I had ordered a gluten free cake for my Aunts birthday and it was the talk of the party!! Beautiful and amazing! They are the best in town if you ask me!

Amazing gluten free donuts. The best gluten free donuts Ive ever had. They will even customize the donut for you if they dont have the exact one you want - they added filling and coconut topping to one for me. The staff are always friendly.

Delicious food, great pastries, and breads, pies and many other selections. Friendly workers and clean place. Money raised on the t-shirts and hoodies support animal shelters. I highly recommend the Black Cat Bake Shop. You wont be disappointed

Black Cat catered our wedding and they were fantastic! We’re from California and got married in Missoula, so we didn’t have much experience with local bakeries. Black cat was in constant contact with us through email and phone calls. We had a small cutting cake, which was decorated wonderfully! We also had mini cheesecakes, mini pies and a grooms cake. The cheesecakes were to die for!! The food was delicious, and delivered on time! We want to say thank you Black Cat for doing a wonderful job!

Friendly, great service and delicious pumpkin muffins!

Jacey was simply excellent in her customer service with my phone order today. When I arrived at the bakery, she surprised me with a discount on the chocolate cake I picked up, because it was nearing the last day they could sell it, to ensure its freshness. Needless to say the cake was really delicious. My favorite bakery in Missoula!

Went in to warm up with coffee and a tart. In spite of the window ad they had no tarts and the place was freezing with cold metal chairs ( my poor bum!).Great coffee and a tasty muffin, however.Sat on the table instead ;-)

I ordered a cookie plate from Black Cat for a dinner party and it was truly wonderful! There was a really nice variety of cookies and every single one of them was tasty and beautiful, especially the bars that were made out of pecan pie ingredients. Wow! The people in the shop were super helpful and friendly as well. This locally owned bakery serves a little bit of heaven!

Great

I love the Black Cat bakery!! Their huckleberry coffee cake is amazing not to mention cat head biscuits and gravy. I used to live in Missoula and made it a point to stop on my way to work for coffee or a delicious Greek yogurt parfait with hommade granola. Everything is delicious. We had them make our wedding cake, cupcakes and grooms cake and were just as impressed the cake was beautiful and tasted amazing! They took care of us every step of the way.

I’ve given this place several chances because their baked goods are delicious. MCT carries a few of their items and I’ve enjoyed them! But, every time I visit, there is always a man screaming obscenities in the back! It’s a very unsettling atmosphere for a coffee shop. Definitely not a place to bring your children. I can’t imagine the employees are enjoying their environment either.

Very beautiful and inviting coffeehouse and bake shop! Business was popping while I was here for breakfast. The staff are all warm and friendly. I was very happy with the croissant and huckleberry bear claw I had...not to mention the many refills of fresh coffee! Definitely suggest this cozy place in Missoula.

I have always loved Black Cat in the past. I ordered the mocha cake and it wasnt anything like the description. It was vanilla cake instead of chocolate and a very light color frosting similar to vanilla, it had the slightest hint of espresso flavor and the esspresso beans on top but Im not the biggest fan of vanilla. Im hoping it was a mistake but I was very disappointed to discover this after cutting into it. I still love you Black Cat but please step up your game 💕

Black Cat offers phenomenal products and outstanding customer service. They have an excellent staff with great communication skills, and are EXTREMELY fast and efficient. I would recommend ANY TIME!

I have celiac and so does my mom. They actually had so many gluten free choices that it was hard to make a choice. Normally cafes have just one gluten free choice. I will come back every time I drive through Missoula.

Tasty stuff lots of really nice treats in here

Black Cat is the BEST bakery in Missoula. Ive liked everything Ive gotten there. The cookies deserve shout out!

Fantastic pastries for breakfast or just for snacks! We picked up some for a road trip and they made the drive all that much better. Highly recommend!

Best gluten free doughnuts I’ve ever had!! 1000% recommend going here!

I give this rating because the wait staff and coffee were exceptional, the jalapeno cornbread was decent. But the biscuits and gravy was garbage. It was really runny and it tasted like they used powder sugar instead of flower. The manager was quick to respond but I was scared to try it again.

First time Ive ever been into this place. It smells amazing in this place and the customer service is phenomenal. So many wonderful yummy treats to pick from at the front counter and fresh baked goods. The prices are reasonable and the place is clean and has a friendly feel. Good stroke rocking some Beatles on the radio. I had the drip coffee and it was excellent which is a biggie for me. Ive never had a gluten free donut that I liked before until I came here. Impressed and Will be back! Ps key lime pie...OMG! Yaaaz!

Best baked goods ever they are to die for!

We order a special cake for our sons birthday and when we received out cake it blew us away. Appearance was perfect and taste was amazing I recommend them highly.

The Black Cat Bakery is filled with temptation! The Rosemary Bread smelled like heaven, and I can personally attest to the amazing cream cheese brownies! I also had the pleasure of trying their salted caramel macaroon which is perfect for the serious sweet tooth person who wants that hint of salty with their sweet. If I lived closer, I would be buying Stollen for the holidays for my friends. A visit to this bakery on my birthday made my day extra special! If there was a category beyond excellent, I would put Black Cat in it!

Great customer service! Their coffee is outstanding and wow their cupcakes, cakes, cookies, and breakfast options are delicious!! Love this place!!

Expensive donuts. Many of them are too sweet. Looks cute logo and clean small store.

Great gluten free pastries and excellent service!

If you want to show someone you love them, get them a Pot de Creme. You wont be sorry. Everything else is great too.

The food was delicious and the staff was amazing! Highly recommend Black Cat Bake Shop :) They have a great variety of treats for any occasion :)

The best bakery in missoula. the biscuits and gravy are fantastic. it makes me so happy that my daughter can choose from an assortment of gluten free items. top notch.

Missoula has at least three bakeries with a variety of offerings that a customer will consider high quality. My favorites at the Black Cat are the almond bearclaws and almond croissants. Obviously, others like them too since they are usually gone by 3pm. Their bread products are also good, as are their lattes and coffee.

As usual when Im in town its always the same EXCELLANT for service, quality and taste, always worth my 750 mile trip 👍🙂👍🙂👍

Best bake shop in town. Make sure to get some Parisian macarons

I tried their cannoli, a cupcake and a cinnamon roll to try a variety and all were over baked with very little flavor. The cannoli filling left a coating in my mouth like shortening The cinnamon roll was tough as if over worked or under proofed.. I guess Im use to home baked goods with quality ingredients like heavy cream, and real butter. Dont plan on going back! I gave them one star only because they wont let you rate them with zero.

So many goodies! Gotta have the cat head! Great coffee too!

They are now open seven days a week. Their hours are listed on their website. My favorite treat at the Black Cat is the Dark Chocolate Raspberry Pave. A world class item and only $4.50 (April 2013 price). Their breads are also of excellent quality.

Baker on site creating pure goodness. Great coffee, espresso, breads, pies and more. A must do when in Missoula!!

Love their vegan options - they have a fudgy cinnamon brownie, a coffeecake muffin, and sometimes other treats, like an AMAZING meringue made from aquafaba that I couldnt believe was eggless. Really creative and artistic presentation as well. Always something new to try.

Great atmosphere, good coffee and loved the gluten free lemon donut and my husband enjoyed the blueberry scone. So glad we stopped on the way out of town.

Amazing food, but horrible service. We typically only get their food from the farmers market, but today went in to their physical store for my little boys birthday breakfast. The lady helping us was rude and not helpful. It seemed like such an inconvenience to even ask for a plate that my boyfriend didnt want to trouble her to ask for our food to be heated up. Being in school, I dont have a lot of extra money on hand, but wanted to take my child somewhere special in celebration of his big day. I wish we had spent that money somewhere else. They have good pastries, but I would recommend going to the stand at the market instead. At least you know what kind of service youre paying for there.

Good local food, (try the jalapeno biscuits and gravy) and the flow of people is steady. The service is always fashionable and aware of your existence but seems like a lot of people doing things but sometimes they seem to be too busy to take your order.

Friendly staff. Nice variety. I love the morning buns.

They certainly make some very tasty products, there is no doubt about that.Wed started going there because my girlfriend has celiac disease and they had some fantastic gluten free baked goods. Im not sure what happened, but the last two times that Ive gone there and bought gluten free doughnuts, my girlfriend has spent the next four days in pain, with the usual symptoms of having ingested gluten.Perhaps one of their ingredients has changed and theyre not aware of it, or maybe theyre not being as careful about cross contamination as they used to be, but we no longer trust their gluten free products.We will not be buying from them anymore.

This place is good but they a bit expensive. All love my brotha

Blackcat Bake Shop welcomes us with open arms. They are kind, generous and hardworking people. Great Biscuits and gravy!! Highly recommended by MbassadorClubMissoula.

While visiting Missoula I swung-by to pickup some breakfast to take on the road. The mushroom & spinach croissant that I chose was out of this world. Highly recommended. I look forward to my next visit to Missoula and the Black Cat Bake Shop.

This place is the best bakery in Missoula hands DOWN! try their biscuits and gravy, sandwiches, AND of course their baked goodies! Their lemon cookies are out of this world, their holiday stollen is seasonal and just to die for!!! The folks there KNOW how to bake bread and sweets!!! I have been going here for about 5 years now and its a MISSOULA must!!!

You cannot find better baked goods in this world, if you are considering going, do yourself a favor and go ASAP!

Great baked goods, sandwiches and coffee s. Wonderful, friendly staff.

I hear they make an absolutely remarkable rugelach.

THE BEST GLUTEN FREE DOUGHNUTS EVER!!!! Customer service good and fast! Dont change anything!

The have perfected gluten-free muffins. Texture and taste are the best.

Congratulations to Black Cat Bake Shop for winning the Best Missoula Bakery award! You certainly deserve it! Not only are you the Best Bakery, you also won the award for Best Wedding Cake! Black Cat rocks!!!!

Just okay

Small venue with very tasty baked goods and decent coffee.

Black Cat is absolutely the best bakery in Missoula with the best price point, too. Black strives for perfection and they achieve it every single time.

Excellent doughnuts and chai!

The Elvis cupcake is by far the best tasting cupcake you will ever have!

Great pastries and fresh coffee. I hit this place a few times per week and have yet to have a bad experience.

As always whatever you get is delicious 😉

Everything weve had has been phenomenal!!

Cup Cakes were very dry and hard in the middle..all of them tasted the same..
