While Big Creek Coffee may have some of the most expensive coffee in the valley, it is certainly easy to see why. Big Creek is the model of what every local coffee shop should strive to be. Beyond good, the coffee is delicious. The atmosphere is relaxed yet also studious, allowing for break and study to coexist. And of course, the staff is always excellent, efficient, and they serve their excellent coffee with pride.
I suppose it would be remiss of me if I didn't mention the fact that Big Creek roasts its own coffee directly in front of its clientele, allowing for both an interesting look at what normally happens behind the scenes of other shops. This only further proves their commitment as a whole to the phrase "homemade."
Unlike other shops in Hamilton, Big Creek is situated to have a great view, good lighting, and is the best place to consistently meet the best people. Overall, it offers an excellent place for people of all ages to mingle, creating comfort through coffee and service that wouldn't be seen on the streets.
I have been, and always will be, a fan of Big Creek...
Read moreReally great coffee - nice atmosphere - unfortunately the last two times I been there, including on November 5th (around 4pm), I literally stood at the counter, right in front of the cash register and no one helped me or took my order for over 4 minutes. A nice girl was working the front counter and took the order of the customer in front of me, then proceeded to get chatty with him and ignore me. Two people in the back were restocking - made eye contact with me twice - still no one took my order. I kept checking my phone - curious as to how long I was going to have to wait - then informed the girl behind the counter that I would go and sit down and she could come take my order when she had the time. She replied - "I would prefer that you not do that." Wow! Really!? No they were not busy. Update! Went in on December 19th - both servers smiled! Lightening fast service! Truly the best hot mocha - not overly sweet just great flavor. Drink tokens will be the perfect stocking...
Read moreMy espresso is okay they didn't stir the espresso and it makes them a little bit of sugar. They're also not very friendly it's amazing how many coffee shops in Montana cafes that people are just not friendly you kind of wonder why they work there. I mean they weren't horrible but it's nothing like old neighborhood cafes that are all over New York City these cafes here are cold and sterile and the people don't even seem to like to talk to the customers.I cannot just blame this place because there's a lot of cold sterile places like this in the Montana Missoula Hamilton area. I was out of Cafe earlier in the day and victim Montana a small town and it was just unbelievably friendly and professional and the product was way better in this small town moondance Cafe and Victor montana. But then again this place is a grab your cup and go type of place I guess. it sure is in a place where people smile at you or ask you how you are it's just what do you want this is how much...
