If you’re an early riser, you’re in luck! Get here right away for their straight-out-of-the-oven doughnuts because when available, they go fast.
Western Cafe
Bozeman, MT
With classic swivel diner stools that line up the counter, a pie cooler displaying the freshly baked goodies of the day and a no-nonsense menu loved by farmers and bankers alike, it’s no wonder why the Western Cafe is easily one of Bozeman’s longest-standing local institutions. The building has been there since the 1870s, but it didn’t start serving food until the 1940s. This place has Montana personality written all over it.
Local’s Tip:
If you want to secure a spot without waiting long, get here before 8:30am. The Western Cafe isn’t huge, so it fills up fast with families and hungry customers, especially on weekends.

Jam!
Bozeman, MT
Here at Jam we’re looking to elevate the Bozeman breakfast scene. One could relate “Jam” to a breakfast condiment(spread onto our house-made country toast), or having a good time.

Our bright and energetic atmosphere is a great way to start the day or keep the good times rolling. Come experience how we do brunch the “Jam! Way”! We hope you’ll like Jammin’, too!
