TOGETHER WITH WILD CRUMB

This week, we’ve got Wild Crumb in the spotlight!

This local bakery is known for its incredible lineup of fresh-baked breads, pastries, cookies, and more -- all made by hand, from scratch, right here in Bozeman.

From crusty sourdough loaves to buttery croissants, everything they make is next-level good (pro tip: don’t sleep on the cinnamon buns).

You can find them at 600 N Wallace Ave—open Tuesday through Saturday, 7am to 3pm.

Check out wildcrumb.com for the full menu and follow them on Instagram @wildcrumb to see what’s coming out of the oven this week. 🥐​

☕️ Speaking of bakeries… Have y’all checked out the Coffee Pot Bakery Café? It’s the coziest little cafe on Gallatin Rd, with some incredible pottery, too. Pay ‘em a visit this week!

🥳 Congrats! Y’all helped Bozeman artist Ava Swan make it to the finals of a big-time Nashville radio contest. Way to go! The finals are held live tomorrow — Thursday, 4/24 — so if you’re willing, visit this site on Thursday to throw her one last vote to help her win the competition with her song ‘Cassie’.
