McCormick Cafe as a Dream

The original idea for the McCormick Cafe was an Internet Cafe with coffee served in a relaxed atmosphere.  From a sketch by Allen Rapecz, local architect, the final design of the Cafe resulted.  Seating for 105 is available within the original brick walls of the 1910 Building.

Construction Fall 1997

Construction started in the fall of 1997.  All electrical systems, plumbing systems, and heating and air conditioning were upgraded or replaced.  Thanks to the hard work by  Stekar Construction, ID Corp, Truchot Air Conditioning, and Abby Stahl, the McCormick Cafe was ready by early 1998.

Opens April 8, 1998

The McCormick Cafe opened for business on April 8, 1998.  Business was brisk and has remained great ever since.  The McCormick Cafe has now become a fixture on Historic Montana Avenue.  The Cafe serves a great breakfast (best omelets in Billings) and lunches of sandwiches on freshly baked bread and hot entrees of meat loaf, pastas, and many other specials.

Summer 1999 brings Flowers

What a difference a year can make!  With its 1910 vine covered walls, hanging flowers baskets, and ample parking areas, the McCormick Cafe is now considered a "destination stop" for the Billings residents as well as the out-of-towners.  A leisurely paced lunch can be enjoyed by all. time or a 30 minute lunch can be ordered too!
