Hidden Basin Coffee Post & Eatery — Restaurant in Red Lodge

My visit to Red Lodge unfortunately was at its end, and plans to hit the road bright and early required a hearty on-the-go breakfast. I was looking for someplace that I had not tried before and, thanks to the wonders of the internet, stumbled across the Hidden Basin Coffee Post. Truly a not-so-well-hidden treasure! Although tempted by the burritos, I decided to try a puff. Besides being a unique spin on the breakfast sandwich concept, it also seemed more practical for on-the-road consumption. I was a bit concerned about the flakiness, as I prefer not to wear food while driving. But as it turned out, the puff was a precise balance of flaky, resulting in a croissant-like experience without a storm of pastry shavings all over the car, not to mention, me. The puff turned out to be the perfect choice. Delicious and practical. And the coffee was also a delight. Smooth and not bitter…just right for that extra wake up before embarking on the next leg of a journey. The staff (owners?) were helpful and friendly, with a dose of good humor thrown in. Should I find myself in Red Lodge again, Hidden Basin is now my go-to breakfast destination. Maybe the next time, I’ll chill, hang out, and try that...

What a delightful little spot! We are traveling on a motorcycle, from Virginia to Vancouver, BC, checking out the little towns along the way. Hidden Basin Coffee Post and Eatery in Red Lodge, Montana was the perfect resting place, with a comfy couch where it was hard to get unstuck!

The ice coffees gave us the afternoon pep we were looking for. The owner is super knowledgeable about the little town of Red Lodge and Montana beyond. She gave us some excellent travel tips, noting which roads were best and places to shy away from.

Displayed on one wall, are mug shots of numerous celebrities. I was beyond impressed when the owner had the detailed scoop on each one!

We don't get to catch all the great places... I'm glad we didn't...
