Le Petit Outre Bakery & Cafe

529 S Higgins Ave, Missoula, MT

★★★★★4.7(398 Google reviews)

Crema's Take

This bright, window-filled café on Missoula's hip strip strikes the sweet spot between serious coffee destination and neighborhood gathering place, with the thoughtful touch of offering uncommon light roast options alongside traditional espresso drinks. Their croissants and pastries are genuinely exceptional—reviewers rave about them being among the best they've had—and the punch card loyalty program rewards regulars with a free drink every ten visits. It's the kind of welcoming spot where you can linger with your laptop, grab a quick coffee and pastry, or pick up a loaf of bread on your way out.

Sour dough tastes so chemical. Is this because your ingredients or the way you make it? It really tastes like chlorine water taste like other review. I tried one slice of the sour dough and couldn't even finish one bite. It's disgusting. I tried many other sour dough bread from all of the places but this is the worst place to have sour dough. Very disappointing. Also they are NOT friendly at all.

Bright coffee shop on the hip strip with large windows and a good view. Two self serve coffee options, including a light roast, which is uncommon and appreciated. Seating is limited, so it can reach capacity during peak hours.

I'm not sure what has changed, but the breads (whole loaves) have been tasting a lot like they have a chlorine water taste. I've even purchased the bread at Orange Street Food Farm and same taste profile there too...chlorine. The baguettes especially are strong on that taste (the smell is fine). I've never sensed this, but recently, the ingredients seem different. Bakery goods I haven't tried yet...(update 2026-went to new location months later; got a scone, Croissant and other pastries..im appalled that the flavor is very off, still a chemical taste, definitely no freshness, its very metal iron tasting.) There are better pastry places in town.

Our favorite local spot for a coffee and a pastry, and we often pick up a loaf of bread while we're at it! Punch cards for repeat customers means that every 10th drink is free! They also have pizza dough, which is great to pick up when we don't have time to make dough at home.

You need to go here if you want to try the best croissants of your life. Sure bagel croissants might be what some call generic and not creative but they’re delicious! And other bakery and coffee is delicious as well! Well worth the stop. Their playlist is great too. Very great environment to journal /‘d read while my friend wrote her paper!
