What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Electric City Coffee is lauded for its exceptional pastries and unique drinks, with many hailing them as the best in the region. The artistic and welcoming atmosphere also makes it a popular spot for socializing and working. While food and coffee are generally praised, some patrons have noted occasional long wait times and inconsistent service from specific staff members.
"This coffee shop is the hidden gem of Great Falls, MT. They have the best pastries and danishes in the state and, in my opinion, the country. I spent two weeks in Great Falls and visited this cafe each morning. I experienced only world class pastry excellence with everything I tried. Everyday there are several new varieties of pastry. The flavors are always unique and delicious and the buttery, flaky lamination is something I will dream about.
The coffee was outstanding, the employees were kind and welcoming and the atmosphere was comfortable and unpretentious. Get there early if you want to check out all the options because it’s consistently busy and a lot of the pastries sell out quickly.
Even though I don’t live in the area I will be talking about and recommending this place as one of the standout cafes I’ve been to. Electric City coffee house is an example of how high standards and consistency can elevate a business above all the rest."

"Unique spot downtown. Long line, breakfast only available during breakfast hours (please post a sign for future customers )
Coffee special was a bargain. Great price & yummy. It was some sort of brown sugar mocha the day we visited.
Food pricing on the high side."
Amy Adams
"Great little coffee shop with friendly staff and decent prices for both food and coffee. Wait time is very short for both and the atmosphere is pleasant to start your day! Perfect spot in downtown Great Falls."
