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.

Amber E / Yelp 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.

These days at Black Cat, you’ll still find the irresistible freshly baked bread…
