You might think of Butte as a charming old mining town , the best place in the world to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, or the home of Evel Knievel. And while it is all of those things, it’s also home to a few of the best bakeries in the entire state (and near one of the best in the world). The next time you’re craving a cupcake or a pastry, stop by one of these tempting shops.

Charming and historic, Butte is a great place to visit and to live.
