Services
Park Avenue Bakery has been a Helena staple for over 25 years. While Park Avenue first opened its doors in 1995, the smell of fresh baked bread has resided in the building for much longer. Located in downtown Helena, Park Avenue Bakery is housed in a portion of the same building where the historic Eddy's Bakery was located in the 1930s.
There is a simple joy in eating a loaf of bread made fresh daily. There's the crisp and crackly crust combined with a tender, spring crumb that lets you know you're eating something substantial. The flavors invade your taste buds as the aroma adds to the experience. Park Avenue Bakery has been passionate about creating artisan breads in Helena, Montana for over 25 years.
Get your day off to a delicious start with a fresh baked breakfast from Park Avenue Bakery. Take one bite into our authentic, flaky, and butter enriched croissants and be transported to a peaceful morning on the streets of Paris. Our breakfast menu features a variety of pastries, many with rich fillings like smooth cream cheese, smoky ham and cheese and dark chocolate.
Situated right amongst the hustle and bustle of Downtown Helena, Park Avenue Bakery is known for its made-from-scratch lunch selections. On your lunch break, savor our hot and toasty Stromboli, heart sandwiches, and soups-all of which make for a fulfilling meal to power you through the rest of your day.
In addition to our bakery counter, Park Avenue also offers a selection of coffee beverages to perfectly complement your morning pastry. Our coffee is provided by Ghost Town Coffee Roasters located in Bozeman, Montana. We carry two types of their drip coffee including their 1889 and single origin. We also have a full espresso bar featuring Ghost Town's Stonehouse Espresso and Sapphire decaf blend.

One of my favorite bakeries in Helena. They serve a great cup of coffee, and we love their danish pastries. Also their baguettes. If you want something more decadent, check out their fancy dessert case!

The food here is ALWAYS amazing and is a regular stop for my friend and I in the mornings when I get off work. It's a little pricy for helena but compared to the quality of food you get? It's worth every penny. Their prickly pear cake is SO good. And to those who are upset about the mask mandate? There is NO reason to NOT wear a mask. There just isn't. There is nothing thar restricts the lungs enough and if you have breathing issues all the more reason TO wear one to avoid getting sick. So just wear a mask. If you can't bring yourself to do that? Stay home. We don't want you in public anyways.

Local favorite. Come early for best selection of baked goods like ham and cheese croissants. Amazing deserts, try the earl grey chocolate cake for a decadent treat.

Love this community so much. I work at St.Peter’s, and Park Avenue brought us all different sandwiches, chips, drinks and cookies!!! I feel beyond blessed! The sandwich was delicious (I can never make mine look or taste the way there’s do!) the cookie was incredible and who doesn’t like apple juice thank you for your kind gesture! Thought I’d return it with an honest review ♥️

My go-to bakery in Helena. Always fresh, wholesome, and served with smiles. Family favorite are chocolate, earl-grey cakes: made to order w/ birthday greeting. Treat yourself, an expresso cookie and cup of coffee is worth the stop. Warm smiles and outstanding baked goods will keep you coming back!

Just what we were looking for...delicious, gorgeous bread and pastries with an exquisitely made latte. You'd be surprised how seldom one finds a true barista. The ambiance takes you back to another time when this bakery produced all the bread for the greater area. The vibe is of a happening bakery with giant mixers, great ovens, and the most welcoming smell of freshly baked bread. It's all evident when the Baker comes out dusted in flour to load a conveyer with lovely loaves. The staff is super happy and much laughter filled the air. This is not your computer crowd in self isolation. This is a

Had the Pecan Blackberry Cheesecake which was so fluffy and perfectly balanced. My friends all said it was the best cheesecake they had shared. The service I received was excellent as well.

The blueberry pecan cinnamon roll was top notch. Treat yourself. Also very friendly staff and they had a quite tasty dirty chai.

Treats are delicious! Staff is masked and they are enforcing limited number of people in the bakery at a time. The Apple bear claw is my favorite.

Wonderful breakfast sandwich! Enjoyed the scone and pastries as well. I was very impressed with the Veggie, egg, and cheese sandwich (included peppers, spinach, avocado, mushrooms). Delicious bread!

I usually come in on Tuesdays for breakfast. I get a croissant or a danish and they are so so good. I came in today, on a Friday, and this is what I was served. It's supposed to be a raspberry cream cheese danish(they're usually braided looking), but this looks like a lump pile of dough with a puddle of filling in the middle. I'm so disappointed. I really hope they didn't hire a new person or something, because I don't think I'll be coming back if it continues to be like this. I really want to support local businesses right now, but my money is valuable and I want to be paying for something that

Bread from Park Ave is as good as I've ever eaten at any bakery in the world. Ciabatta and old world Italian are family favorites. Desserts are good too, but fairly pricey.

Went here while visiting family; the three of us ordered three pastries to share - a chocolate hazelnut, a tres leches cake, and a white chocolate lemon. All three were delicious! Definitely a few of the best pastries I've had lately. My only complaint was that the tres leches was a little drier than I like it. The coffee was also good. The fifth star only falls off because the service was a little haphazard - well-intentioned, but we got the wrong coffee order and then there was confusion once we got the right one. They also close very early on the weekends. I haven't tried their bread

This place has the best breads. I love the pull apart hard rolls, the sourdough, and the potato rolls. Great sweets too. The only issue is mixed quality of staff, one of whom is rather unfriendly. So ignore potential rudeness and savor the breads and baked goods.

Great Bakery!

I love the smell of fresh bread and hot coffee. This place is fantastic. Well made bread, good coffee, sandwiches, cookies, pastries, etc. Friendly staff and you can even bring your dog to their outside seating area.

I haven't tried the pies yet, but that's for next time.

This place is great. Came here during the morning while visiting downtown Helena and grabbed a cup of the dark roast on brew. It was so smooth and balanced that I bought three bags of the roasted whole bean (1889 by Ghost town coffee roasters)!

We ordered pumpkin cookies (so good and moist!), an almond biscotti (perfect for dunking in the coffee), a caramel sticky bun (delicious and stick-to-the-roof-of-your-mouth good!), and a chocolate chip cookie (because for breakfast...why not?).

The staff is really friendly and the baked goods are great. Loved it here :)

Arrived in Helena yesterday heading to Glacier National. Needed a few pies to celebrate the birthday of my brother. Live out of state and found their name and reviews on Yelp, all of which were excellent. Ordered three fruit pies, as that was my brothers favorite, blueberry , cherry and raspberry.
Was a little taken back by the price $25 each, but decided aw heck, thats what he likes and there was a big group . We as a group can't say enough about these delicious pies, absolutely worth every penny.
No filler or excess thickener! Just pure 100% fruit and each one was excellent. The raspberry

Very good bakery. Gets knocked down a star for not having any soups or lunch specials available on a Monday at noon??? Good pizza and calzones. Very good sweet selections. Very solid French bread. Could use a soda fountain with Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi. Worth a stop

We got the mudslide pie and flourless peanut butter chocolate chip cookie. The mudslide was divine and not too sweet. The cookie was probably of one of the best cookies we've ever tried. The gal working the counter was also very sweet. I didn't get a chance to try the sandwiches, but seeing all the freshly baked bread, so I'm sure they are outstanding as well.

I was craving some sweets and thought I'd try something different. The carrot coconut cookie was heaven! I'm also bringing back home to Denver the chocolate molasses, snickerdoodle, and lavender shortbread cookie.
