Le Petit Bakehouse

Food & DrinkDowntown
Why It's Listed

Le Petit is the only place in Missoula making true French laminated pastry — croissants, pain au chocolat, and kouign-amann — from scratch, every single morning. Their downtown shop draws a devoted line before the doors even open, and everything sells out fast. It's the kind of bakery most cities wish they had.

Le Petit Bakehouse

About the Business

Leif Bjelland started baking artisan bread through the night in 1998, and this Higgins Avenue bakery has since become a local staple. The cafe serves wood-fired hearth breads, sourdough loaves, and classic pastries, supplying many of Missoula’s favorite restaurants and grocery stores daily.
