The only thing better than the great food found throughout Montana is the dessert that finishes things off. From donuts to pies to every sweet treat in between, there’s a great spot in the state to satisfy every sweet tooth. But, with so many to choose from, the hard part is deciding where to go. There are plenty of options, but one bakery in Missoula, Montana might just be the best. It’s been around since 1978, which means they’ve undoubtedly perfected the art of the perfect treat. But, be sure to get there early. Their croissants are so unique, they frequently sell out.

Welcome to Bernice's Bakery, located on S. 3rd Street W in Missoula. From the outside, there's no question that this place is special.

Walking inside, you'll be greeted by a cozy airy space perfect for lingering over a cup of tea or coffee.

While "lingering" evokes a sense of calm and ease, you certainly won't want to do that outside prior to getting your treat of choice. Especially if that treat is one of their unique croissants.

The croissants here are unlike any others. Larger than the typical version, these are big in the center and crispy on the ends. They come in both sweet and savory flavors, making them one of the most popular items on the menu. Be sure to grab one early, or you'll risk missing out on the flavor of your choice.
