The Nova Cafe
Often said to serve the best breakfast in Bozeman, the Nova Cafe gets its well-deserved reputation from its lemon blueberry ricotta pancakes and its forager omelette made from Portobello mushrooms, artichoke heart, roasted red pepper, spinach and provolone cheese. Conveniently located in the historic downtown, the café sources its ingredients wherever possible from local farmers and producers in a bid to give something back to its community. It also hosts a rotating exhibit of works by local artworks which diners can peruse before or after tucking into their delicious meal. Alongside the ordinary menu, there is also a children’s menu, an espresso bar and a selection of homemade gluten-free baked goods worthy of a visit all on their own.
