I frequently travel to Bozeman, Montana for work and always enjoy exploring the local businesses downtown. During a recent visit, I stopped by Heyday, which is a charming gift shop with the friendliest staff. Deciding to grab a coffee before shopping, I noticed a cafe across the street and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, my experience was less than pleasant. After standing in line for about 10 minutes with just two people ahead of me, I finally ordered a latte and went to the waiting area. I had my 9-year-old golden retriever with me, who is very well-behaved and calm, lying quietly at my feet as I waited. To my surprise, an employee came out from behind the counter, walked in front of everyone in the shop, and very abruptly said, "There are no dogs allowed here." I immediately apologized, explained that I didn’t realize, and assured her we’d leave as soon as I received my drink. However, she interrupted me and added, "For further reference, dogs are not welcome," in a manner that I found unnecessarily harsh. While I fully respect that some establishments have no-pet policies, I was caught off guard by the lack of clear signage and the fact that no one had mentioned anything when I first arrived. Additionally, the tone and delivery of the employee's message felt dismissive and unprofessional. I won’t be returning to this cafe. There are many other businesses in downtown Bozeman that are both welcoming to pets and provide a more positive experience. To top it off, the coffee itself didn’t stand out in terms of quality, and the customer service left much to be desired. For those who enjoy visiting cafes with their pets or seek a more friendly and inclusive atmosphere, I would recommend...
Read moreFavorite Coffee shop in Bozeman! Espresso is always amazing. I’m a consistent customer on the honey cinnamon latte, choddy (chocolate milk cold brew!) and their special honey lattes. They use flavored high-quality honey from Montana Bee company just around the corner. Anything from lavender to huckleberry! Those are the top 3 in my opinion.
Drip coffee is also great! The chocolate lab roast is fantastic, pretty dark but easily cut with some cream for a nice cup of joe!
The environment here is also always fantastic. They have good music, fun and friendly baristas who are always ready to give great coffee suggestions, and the rotating art on display is always unique, local, and really brings the space together!
If you are in town or staying for awhile, it is well worth trying to stop in during an evening of live music, the musicians that perform have always been a fun treat, and the open mic nights are also always a great experience!
While I can’t eat a ton of food here due to Celiac (no gluten) they DO have AMAZING gluten free cookies! They are baked by a local Montana company and always hit the spot if I get a little hungry while eating. The salted peanut butter cookie is the best by far. Another favorite of mine, Kalispell Creamery yogurt. It’s a rich honey Greek yogurt from local dairy’s in Kalispell. Try it!
Many other good food items sold here, as well as some great gifts and fun mugs and stickers and the like.
Overall, one of the best coffee stops in Bozeman for a quick bite, a good cup of coffee, whatever your drink is, and a nice atmosphere to talk, study, or just take in the...
Read moreGreat local coffee shop! These folks take coffee seriously and although I primarily drink black drip they offer three types of drip, as well as pour overs. There espresso menu is fantastic and I sometimes spoil myself with a paradiso, a very rich and creamy tropical espresso drink. So so good! This is the only coffee shop I know that offers seven types of milk!
This is the place to bring a large group whether family, friends, community meeting, or business group. Their large tables and comfortable couches offer enough seating for everyone.
The food is fantastic, there’s a menu on Wed-Sun for avocado toast or a smoked salmon open face sandwich. OR my fav is to put the salmon on the avocado toast (not on the menu).
Everyday they have fresh pastries and burritos, or oatmeal, yogurts and fresh fruit options. Always available is fresh ice cold water and even Icecream.
Such a wonderful and lovely atmosphere. Oh and free internet, that’s never slow or...
