The Ultimate Pie Shop Road Trip In Montana Is As Charming As It Is Sweet

Embark on a pie-themed road trip across Montana, visiting several notable bakeries and cafes.

There's just something about Montana and pie. There's no denying we're absolutely smitten with this classic dessert—you'll find evidence in every corner of the state. This year, treat yourself to a pie-themed road trip and satisfy all those sweet cravings.

This is nowhere near a comprehensive list of every delicious place to get pie in the Treasure State, because that particular road trip would take a year to complete. This is merely a journey through some of Montana's most delightful territory with plenty of perfect pie along the way. Feel free to reverse the order or add any stops you deem worthy on the drive.

The adventure begins at the Shade Tree Cafe in the quiet little town of Denton.

Denton is located in Fergus County, about 40 miles northwest of Lewistown.

There aren't many places to get freshly baked pie in Denton... but even if that wasn't the case, this place would have the best selection.

The pie is always freshly baked using seasonal ingredients.

Your next stop is Wake Cup Coffee House in charming Fort Benton.

This bakery, coffee shop, and full-service restaurant never disappoints.

The pies are put together by the team at Crooked Tree Coffeehouse in Great Falls, but they're baked to perfection right here.

You can't go wrong with anything on the menu at Wake Cup.

Next, head to Gret Falls and find 2K's Kafe.

This humble little cafe is a local legend, but thanks to its simple structure, it's easy to miss.

2K's is well known for its behemoth burgers and enormous portions of basically everything.

The large pie slices are no exception. If you manage to save room, you'll be so glad you did.

Take a long walk at Giant Springs State Park or spend the night here and sleep off the food coma, because you won't want to leave Great Falls without getting pie at Lippi's Kitchen.

This casual restaurant has tasty entrees and even better desserts.

The pie here is made by the owner herself, and it's nothing short of amazing.

Their best seller is lemon meringue, but you'll be satisfied with anything you're offered.

Lake Baked is a sweet little bakery in Bigfork that sits on the Swan River.

It's owned by a mother and daughter duo who operate it with their family.

Everything here is out of this world, but the freshly baked pies are simply in a league of their own.

You might be growing tired of pie at this point, but that feeling won't last, so buy a whole one for the road.

At the end of the rainbow, you'll find the renowned Huckleberry Patch in Hungry Horse.

This is where locals and tourists alike come for their huckleberry fix on the way to Glacier National Park.

As you can imagine, there are a variety of huckleberry treats here, but the pie really steals the spotlight.

The fresh huckleberry pie is simply divine, especially when it's topped with vanilla ice cream.

Are you a fan of pie? Where else would you stop for a slice on this route?
