Bolt and Bruizer's Bakery and Barkery — Restaurant in Missoula

Just to get it out of the way, the only thing shaped like dog treats at Bolt and Bruizer's is the.. dog treats. All the human food looks like human food! There is an adorable bone shaped biscuit served with the biscuits and gravy.

I also want to say it's not "woke" as some reviewer said to proudly display you, your life, and what is important to you. Nothing is virtue signalling here, it's all authentic representation of the owners!

I met these guys down at the farmer's market 2 years ago selling some of their baked goods, and decided to stop by before leaving town. At the time it was just the bakery, but the glass cases had delectable looking pastries, some unique, and many that taste amazing.

A few days ago I returned again and was surprised and pleased to see they've expanded their space with a cafe dining area. We decided to have breakfast there and it was a wonderful experience with Bruizer spending a lot of time at our table chatting and being friendly. The vibe here is chill and casual, and sometimes the food or service takes a little longer than a diner or breakfast restaurant. To me, and to many others, that's the charm. It's a slowed down experience and take the time to enjoy the space, the people, and the cool art on the walls!

This is an LGBTQIA+ safe space and says so on the outside very clearly. My experience here as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community was comfortable, secure, and lovely.

Pastry recommendations: Pane (especially the Mousse one, but both are delicious!), assorted cookies, Berry Bomb (I can't remember if that's the actual name but it's one of their signatures). It was delicious with fresh berries and lemon curd.

Constructive Criticism for the owners (sent with love and care!!): the I tried 2 Berry Bombs, the first one was a little weak on the lemon curd flavor, and the second one had a much more powerful flavor. Can't comment on why exactly, but for me at least the lemon punch is one of the main stars of that pastry.

Love this place, please come and support local Missoula and Grizz business as well as the LGBTQIA+ community. See you again soon Bolt...

My fiance and I left one star reviews some time ago, but they must have some way of taking them down.

Went in when we saw an article saying that it was one of the best places in Missoula, but when we went in the place was dingy, dusty, and poorly lit, no menu, saw (I kid you not) a hobo spider scuttle across the floor while ordering.

All the tables were dirty. Then without a word we were delivered the wrong meal. There was only 1 other table in the place with patrons. I delivered them their food and went back to my seat.

They brought our food out. I was give a sandwich I did not order, and my fiances waffle bites (or whatever they were) were completely raw on the inside.

I only remember and come back to re-make this post because it was literally the worst dining experience in my life. At the time of my first review, the owner apologized and offered some coupon or something but you literally could not have paid me to go back. Believe the 1...

We have a new rescue dog, and we have been stopping here for a treat for all three of us each weekend for the last few weeks. My husband and I get some kind of pastry, Greta gets a pupcake or other bakery treat, and then we all go for a walk somewhere fun. When we first got Greta, she wouldn't eat any treats. Her pupcake was the first treat we offered her that she ate! She devoured it. Now Bolt and Bruizers is her favorite, and she goes a little crazy when we get in the car with her pup treat. My husband and I have tried several pastries, both sweet and savory. All have been wonderful. The owner and employees are incredibly pleasant, and are working very hard. I'm so happy to have this bakery nearby to add some sweetness to our weekends, and help us bond with our new...
