Add baked goods to the long, long list of things Montana does right. You'll find perfectly baked bread and sweet treats all over the state, and Missoula in particular seems to be a mecca for scrumptious pastries. But if the Black Cat Bake Shop isn't the best one in America, it's most certainly a top contender.
Black Cat Bake Shop is located at 2000 West Broadway Avenue.
The bake shop got its start over 15 years ago when native Montanan, Christy Wich, moved back from Vermont with her husband, Jack. Jack's lifelong dream was to open a bakery, which they started using a commercial kitchen they added to their home.
Jack's bread began to sell like crazy at Missoula's Farmers Market, and the demand only increased over time.
Finally, after 13 years, the storefront opened. Jack and Christy, who have since added a daughter to their family, continue to own and operate the bake shop.
These days at Black Cat, you'll still find the irresistible freshly baked bread...
... as well as other perfectly prepared and beautifully decorated desserts...
... and the most incredible wedding cakes you'll ever see.
Truly, the special occasion cakes here are works of art.
All of their treats can be made to order, or you can pop in to the bake shop and buy an assortment of goodies for your party or event (or just because you feel like it).
Black Cat Bake Shop will even ship some of their treats to those who don't live in Missoula.
The shipping is seasonal and limited, so call them at (406) 542-9043 for more details.
Black Cat Bake Shop is open Monday - Saturday.
Their Monday - Friday hours are 6:30 AM - 5:30 PM. Saturday hours are 7:30 - 4.
Make sure you try this fantastic bake shop and their "black cat magic." And if you love dessert as much as most Montanans, you'll also love the ice cream at these mouthwatering ice cream shops.
