Visit Black Dog Coffee House for a relaxing and inspiring experience. The shop is located inside Roots Garden Center and includes an art gallery and Montana-made gifts. Poly’s Place Coffee promises a friendly and fun time in this old gas station turned hangout spot. BW Blacksmith Coffee & Grill Co is a family-owned business named after their beloved “Grandpa Ben.” You can also swing by the drive-thru of local favorite Mazevo Coffee for a signature blended frappe or a hand-crafted soda.
Some of the tastiest and most authentic food that Billings has to offer is found right in Midtown. For a light lunch, try Carmel Cookie Waffle where they serve traditional hand-pressed Stroopwaffle cookies with an authentic recipe straight from The Netherlands, as well as scratch made soups, flaky Dutch Sausage Rolls, and many other delights. Also check out The Ohana Poke Company for a fresh, healthy and creative poke sushi bowl made from wild-caught salmon and tuna.
If you’re in the mood for a truly inspired farm-to-table culinary experience, then The Granary is your destination for fresh pasta and seafood, hand-crafted cocktails and a gorgeous patio. Other great favorites are Santiago’s Mexican for fast yet authentic Mexican dishes in a family friendly environment and UMI Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar.
Travel through a deep-sea cavern and enter a pirate’s lair while you play 18 holes of blacklight mini-golf at Let’s Glow Putt. Relieve some stress and tension by trying your hand at throwing an axe or knife at the surprisingly fun Ox Indoor Axe Throwing. Or enjoy an adventure at The Grand Escape Room, a real-life mystery adventure for you and your friends to solve in under 60 minutes.
Enjoy a show at Billings Studio Theater, a community-based theater that performs dramas, musicals and comedies throughout the year. And in mid-June, bring your blanket or lawn chair and relax in Pioneer Park for a full evening of events with Symphony in the Park.
Gainan’s Flowers has been a staple in the community since 1951. With gorgeous flowers, plants and gift items they are a one-stop shop for any occasion or celebration. If you’re loving the neighborly vibe, be sure to pop by the Poly Food Basket, a corner store gracing midtown for over 60 years. They arguably have the best specialty meat department in town, along with a great wine selection and any last-minute items you may have forgotten at the big box store.
