- **Glazed Donut Cruffin**: The thin glaze was just the right amount of sweetness, not overpowering at all.
- **Caramel Bun**: This had a lovely crispy, sweet glaze on the bottom. It was absolutely delightful when warm and paired perfectly with our coffee choice, Black Rifle Coffee.
- **Pumpkin Crumble Muffin**: Very moist and not overly sweet.
- **Cauldron Cake**: I wasn't particularly fond of this one. The frosting was decent, but the cake seemed to have a darker cocoa that resulted in a bitter taste. The sweetness of the frosting just couldn’t balance it out.
- **Chive Biscuit**: This was okay but needed to be eaten right away; it became quite hard by the end of the day. I did warm it up,...
I kinda don 't want to leave this review simply because I want to keep Cotton Top a secret, but I feel like it 's too late for that anyway.I 've yet to encounter the mystery person behind these overwhelmingly mind blowing pastries. All I know is whenever customers try to compliment the counter staff on how wonderful their products are, they cheerfully say: Yes, we 're very proud of her. I don 't know who this her is, but she 's clearly hitting it out of the park.

Walked to here on a Saturday morning at 9 am and no line. I tried the ham and cheese croissant. The strawberry on jam and cheese, sitting on top of flakey croissant style. An amazing canelé de bordeaux that everyone behind me said to try and it was fabulous. Walked to the farmers market which didn't have much produce. Lots of arts and crafts. We did get a dozen eggs and a bag of spinach for $3.50 each...and a variety of meat (pork chops, tenderloin and lamb chops) Then we drove to Whitefish.
Ok yeah it’s worth the hype…and waiting outside in a line. Bought one of everything and it’s all top tier and not too outrageously priced. Of course wish they were open more than two days. Hire more bakers. Thnx. Espresso chocolate thing and the strawberry crmuffin are favorite for sure.

We are incredibly fortunate to have such a talented artisan in Helena. This bakery is truly on another level. I would have taken pictures, but we couldn't resist devouring everything!
My favorite Helena bakery! High quality ingredients, unique offerings, not too sweet. Great quiche too- way better than Vanilla Bean!!

The best bakery I’ve ever been to in any context. Ridiculously amazing, easily stands up to any big city pastries.
The pastries here are undoubtedly the best in town. It's truly a hidden gem in Helena.
