We love Black Rifle coffee and frequently stop at the one in Alliance, Texas, which is a suburb of Fort Worth. We are visiting relatives in Whitefish and since we had business in Kalispell, we stopped in for coffee because we all love it. This Black Rifle is about three times larger than the one we frequent in Texas, and it has a beautiful outdoor seating area that is heated for those cold days and nights. The inside of this establishment has a large seating area for customers, and it’s warm and inviting, with a cozy fireplace. We ordered dark roast, which is our favorite, and we weren’t disappointed. They have heavy cream—my favorite—and our coffee was absolutely delicious. The two men working were very cordial and they provided excellent customer service. The bathroom was spotless, and I could smell the bleach they use when cleaning, but it wasn’t over powering; it just showed me they sanitize the restrooms. I grew up in the Flathead Valley but I haven’t been back since 1978, which was 47 years ago, because all of my family members moved away. I love this valley and it has been wonderful to see all of the improvements in Kalispell, Whitefish, and Columbia Falls. Be sure to visit Black Rifle Coffee because they are Veteran owned (I am a veteran), they have terrific coffee, and they provide excellent...
Read moreWhile being a nice place to hang out, the coffee is terrible. I have been there 3 times. It is open later than most places around, so it is handy for meeting up with people and the building is nice. The coffee is not good though, one time it was even actively bad and I couldn't drink it.

I tried liking it multiple times, due to the atmosphere, but now I try to talk people into meeting elsewhere. The theme is strongly guns and 'Merica. Not sure what that has to do with coffee. They say they focus on hiring veterans, which is cool. Wonder how they find enough veterans in our area (which has severe staffing shortages) or if it is actually only partially staffed by veterans. Staff was very nice each visit. I think the main draw is for people who share the values. Just wish the coffee was good. There are plenty of other places that have good coffee in the area which are...
Read moreI came here with my sister and mom and had the best experience! As Natives of Montana we come here a lot but this experience was something special! I had a gift card and just didn’t have enough to pay the amount due, so one of the servers there payed the rest of what I owed! This shows the amazing character traits of the workers here and the atmosphere they bring. The food and drink were perfect and they got our orders just right! I love this place so much and I hope you get a chance to come here and have just as good of an experience! I really do hope that the owners read this and find the worker that did this and throw him a party or something!! He was so unbelievably kind and I thank God for people like this in the world! A literal Angel on earth! I will be coming back soon, and I’ll tip big for all the amazing workers there!! So, I hope you get to come here and experience the amazing atmosphere, food, drink, and people!! Thank you Black Rifle...
