Reeder’s Alley in Helena dates all the way back to the 1870s, when it was built by a Pennsylvania brick and stonemason named Louis Reeder. These days, it’s a small, unassuming space with a few small businesses and a pioneer cabin. And Reeder’s Alley is also where you’ll find Cotton-Top Pastries, one of Montana’s most delightful treasures. If you’re craving a sweet treat, look no further.
Despite its cozy space and out-of-the-way location, this place's popularity has skyrocketed since it opened.
Weist grew up in Montana, but she lived in San Francisco, France, and North Carolina while she was perfecting the art of pastry-making. She opened Cotton-Top when she returned to Montana for good.

Everything is also baked in small batches, and once it's gone, it's gone. Luckily, you can always order ahead for a special occasion.
