Rooster Café
1300 S Reserve St A, Missoula, MT
Crema's Take
“Rooster Café is the kind of place where regulars don't want to go anywhere else, and it's easy to see why: the staff radiates genuine kindness, the pastries (especially the Kouign Amann) are legitimately heavenly, and the wraps and breakfast offerings go far beyond typical café fare. It's a slower-paced spot that welcomes families and dogs alike, perfect for lingering over a thoughtfully made coffee and actually connecting with people rather than rushing through. The whole operation has that rare quality of feeling like it genuinely cares—enough to close for employee appreciation day—which seems to come through in every plate and cup.”

I went this morning and found the place closed for employee appreciation day. My 4-year-old said, "It's okay, we can go somewhere else," and I responded, "I don't want to go anywhere else! This is the only place I feel comfortable!" It had been a hard morning and it felt like my sanity was completely dependent on being able to sit in your cafe with a good cup of coffee and my daughter playing in the kids corner. I realized I haven't written a review, so here it is. I'm sad you were closed today and glad you treat your employees so well. They are truly the best in town. I appreciate the safe space you have created for everyone, including us frazzled moms. Your coffee and pancakes were sorely missed this morning, and we will definitely be back soon
This has to be the Greatest cafe I've been to the food is great the best wraps I've eaten and the energy drinks are wonderful I cannot think of a better place in Missoula within walking distance of me
Absolutely, 1st Best, Kind & Patient service exactly what I needed at the moment. Onto the food, heavenly is all I can say, delicious, lots of flavors, presentation was simple but beautiful. Recommend 10 out of 10!
This place has amazing pastries and friendly people. The Rooster is a perfect breakfast. Do yourself a favor and try a Kouign Amann.
One of my favorite cafe's!!! Super friendly staff! Great prices! Delicious food and beverages! I can't wait to come back and try more!
