Rising Trout Cafe & Book Store

Our family came in for breakfast and we’re met with a free donut treat (day old) on its way to local donation! How wonderful for them to donate! We ordered breakfast and each had our own version of homemade bread. My 8 year old had garlic toast with her eggs, 10 year old sourdough toast, and my husband and I a sourdough BISCUIT! How this husband and wife team have the time it energy to do this and run a restaurant is beyond me! Kind, considerate and extremely gracious! Lewistown and its visitors are lucky to have them!

Love! The food was delicious! The coffee good. The service friendly and efficient! The music was good, and not too loud. This is a quiet little place where you can enjoy the freshly prepared food (ingredients from a local ranch, and farms), and read, chat, or get some work done.
I loved my salad, and the fresh flavors so much, that I didn’t even try the dressing! The soup was heart, hot, and fantastic.
A local treasure!
Thank you, Lewistown Library peeps, for recommending this great find.

Really wonderful. Traveling cross country and stopped in to see the local coffee spot. We had a great conversation with the owner (who seems to do everything! Organic farming, baking, coffee roasting) and my grandmother said the almond scone was the best scone she's ever had. I also got a beautiful mug made by the other owner (the wife of the man we met). I really do love small towns. There are usually always hidden gems like these.

They have the best cinnamon rolls I’ve ever had! I go in thinking I’ll order something else, but the cinnamon roll always wins. Super friendly place too-no one’s a stranger. Stop in, you’ll be glad you did!

Check out the selection of books-great choices for children.

After having returned to the establishment after not being able to stop through for a few years, the nostalgia of the business came rushing back as I walked through the doors. The friendly faces I was greeted by are archetypal of the Central and Eastern Montana scene. The business is easy to find, offers a plethora of delicious pastries and drinks, and leaves you smiling upon your departure. Personally, I recommend the gluten-free Monster cookies and the pistachio lattes. Great work folks, I can't wait to come back!

Really great coffee, didn’t know what a Doppio was, so I got a Breve instead and it was great! Super smooth espresso, and they were roasting a small batch of beans while I was there! Would recommend 10/10

I love going here! Super friendly people, good coffee, sandwiches, and baked goods. I’ve decided to write a review because I just went about half an hour ago and I had the NICEST lady wait on me, and probably one of the best coffees I’ve had to date! Which is saying a lot because it’s always so good at the rising trout!

I meet a couple of friends for coffee. The guy at the counter was very friendly and helpful. Had a great smile. The coffee was delicious and so was the choloate chip cookie. They had a small corner that had comfortable chairs. I would definitely go back.

Great locally owned cafe. Fresh pastries and cheap coffee. If you want coffee don't get a frappe because they use a yogurt mix for that and it just doesn't tast right. The hot coffee is good though.

They roast their own beans to get just the right amount of roast for each coffee. Cool place, open mice once a month too.

I love the morning in Missoula tea! It's so good. I love going here to just relax and have some peace and quiet. I do a lot of my studying here. The food is great and so are all the options of drinks you can choose from. I'm definitely satisfied with this cafe.
