This little place was so unbelievably lovely.Excellent breakfast and coffee-way better than the opposite "wonderland cafe" that was mentioned by our hotel.PLEASE go and sample their breakfast-you won't be disappointed-they have an area behind where you can chill in the sunshine(which isn't obvious from the front)-don't be put off with how small it looks. read more

Holy Coffee! This place is a must when back near the North entrance of Yellowstone. Strong coffee, tasty bites and service that makes your day better because of their friendly smiles! Somehow I got lucky and there was no line when we showed up. That hadn't been the case when we drove by and tried to visit earlier in our trip. I had an iced latte and my husband an iced Americano. Both were very good and you can tell they take time brewing their shots. We also tried a breakfast sandwich on a jalapeño bagel and bacon, and it was very good! Tasted like it was out of a bagel shop in NYC. We also ordered a breakfast burrito with bacon and it was not your average burrito. It was more of a wrap, but it was GOOD! And the salsa was fire! Spicy and very tasty. Homemade for sure! We will surely be back when in the area! Highly recommend you do the same read more

A great stop located by the north entrance of Yellowstone NP. They open early so it's super convenient to stop by and grab your cafecito and pastries. The owners/staff were very friendly. Quick service, they do get busy! read more

Bears Brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gardiner, Montana

I like this place enough. Has decent food and good drinks though they are very sweet. I am leaving this review to comment on the AI slop stickers and swag they have out front. I wish they were done by local artists or something so that I know it's going back into the community. Most older folk probably don't recognize it as AI and I hate to think of all the wasted potential. Disappointing for a business that supposedly "supports local". read more

This is a little coffee shack right on Main Street. They serve great coffee with lots of options so you are sure to find something you'll like. The breakfast sandwiches and avocado toast are delicious. Service is fast and friendly and each visit we were delighted to chit chat with the baristas. Big thumbs up from me. read more

Absolutely amazing food and coffee every single time. I will always come here anytime I'm in Gardiner!! read more

A little challenging to find, but so worthwhile. It's a cute tiny house (shed?) with outdoor seating. Service was very friendly, but it was a wait to order. I enjoyed the iced lavender vanilla latte and the scrumptious bagel with lox. The everything bagel was artisanal, definitely not from a grocery store. An abundance of smoked salmon, ripe tomato, capers and pickled onion were perched on top and served open face. Old Glory was a nice shop to visit across the street. This was a perfect stop following our visit to Yellowstone. read more

Unassuming little coffee shack that absolutely delivered. The breakfast bagel sandwich was legit, the coffee was on point, and everything was way better than expected. Nothing fancy, just really good food and coffee. Surprisingly fire. Recommend the jalapeño breakfast bagel sando! There are not a whole lot of options in Gardiner, so you must go here if you like coffee and a good casual breakfast spot. read more

This is a little coffee hut that has great food and drinks. The breakfast burritos is so flavorful it's a must try. The breakfast sandwich is filling with a fluffy bagel and spicy mayo. The ice drinks you can get in a variety of sizes from 8 oz to 32oz! I had the chia tea hot and it's a homemade chia with spice I recommend whole milk not coconut milk as I was being spontaneous with milk options. The service is quick and friendly and the neighboring restaurant look tasty as well. There is a cute sitting area around back with picnic tables and a bathroom. Overall super cute place. read more

Birthday breakfast! Came here Saturday morning around 8:30am for breakfast. We ordered 2 breakfast sandwiches (veggie with roasted red peppers and spinach) and a burrito with bacon. Also 3 of their "two city lattes" with oat milk. They are a bit pricey (our total came to $64), but really delicious. The breakfast sandwiches (on jalapeno cheddar bagel) was so delicious!!! My sister said she wishes the burrito ingredients were separated instead of it being all scrambled. She also mentioned that it tasted like taco seasoning, so she'd rate it a 6.5/10. It's outdoors in a little food truck village so there is seating in the back. read more

I have no idea how they got 4.5 stars but the breakfast burrito I ordered was dismal failure. It was supposed to be bacon, egg and potato. Instead potato was the main ingredient with barely any egg and bacon was invisible to the naked eye. On top of it the sauce, if you can call it that, was some spicy goo that went sour. It was an abuse of my body, I guess I should be glad that the portion was small (sneaker, sneaker) that it wont completely destroy my gut though it cost $13 bucks. Anyway, be forewarned. read more

The barista (and owner) was very friendly, conversational, and fun. The options for flavors (especially sugar free) are plentiful. I had one of their coffee speciality drinks (I forgot the name but it had caramel sauce and maple flavoring). It was amazing!!! My husband had an almond flavored latte with almond milk which was great! Absolutely recommend!! read more

I was on a walking search for coffee in Gardnier next to Yellowstones' north entrance. It was right before 7am, and they were already open. We will say just for me. The large has 3 shots, and the flavor special was coconut , vanilla, and cinnamon. I love this coffee, and the people were fast and friendly. I'll be back tomorrow to try a different flavor combo. read more

Bears Brews is at the gateway to the Gardiner, Montana entrance to Yellowstone National University of Park. A tiny coffee shop from a trailer. The coffee was great! I had a nonfat latte and W had the almond milk latte. We also had a lemon blueberry scone and a blueberry muffins--nothing to write home about for the pastries, hence the four stars. But the service was great, and so was the coffee--and on the snowy day that we stopped by, we were glad to have it during our tour of Yellowston read more

If you're looking to grab coffee and a bite before hitting Yellowstone, this is the place! I ordered a breakfast sandwich and my husband ordered a burrito to take with us to the parks. They were wrapped so perfectly that they stayed warm for two hours, I couldn't believe it! My breakfast sandwich also had fresh spinach and peppers- it was excellent! The staff were very friendly and chatted with us while preparing our order. This is a food truck across from Wonderland Cafe and can be easy to miss, but it's worth the visit! read more

Best at being super slow and very rude. Been a few times and never improved. Other places will be glad to provide you service.

Stopped in on our way out of Yellowstone and had an amazing oatmilk hazelnut latte! They had good options for breakfast too! The staff was very warm and welcoming read more

Definitely a "must stop" place if you're entering the Park from the north. The early hours are perfect for the early Park-goers, and their full menu including breakfast sandwich options is a nice surprise. They also offer a variety of alternative milks, which is great! We both got delicious oat milk lattes and egg sandwiches on jalapeño cheddar bagels. The coffee was quick to come out, the sandwiches took a little longer, but super fresh, and definitely delicious. The employees were very friendly. Will definitely make this a regular stop the next time I'm here! read more

They were open earlier than any competitors which was great. Got a latte, bagel and cream cheese and a loaf of huckleberry vanilla and triple chocolate. All were good. Surprised that the bagel wasn't toasted but it tasted good and was hot (microwave I'm guessing). The staff was upbeat and friendly and food came quickly. read more

Overall: would go back. Drinks: lots of fun choices to select from. They have coffee, espresso, energy drinks, and teas. We had the "Fishing Bridge" iced latte and the "Purple Rain" energy drink. Milk alternatives available. They had the "good" (I think barista) almond milk. Overall the drinks were really good! Shop: it is a little food truck style place. There are patio tables/chairs behind it. Dog friendly. Service: amazing. The person was super friendly and conversational. Had suggestions if you needed it. read more

BEST BREAKFAST SANDWICH I've ever had!!! Did the ham, egg, cheese on plain bagel with their homemade spread. Like many, we are visiting the Park (from Utah/California) and being able to come down the mountain to grab some great coffee and breakfast plus support a local business is great. We also grabbed a cinnamon roll but we're saving that for later! Returning every morning we're here!!!! read more

Food is freshly cooked. They have lots of coffee types, sizes, and flavors. There is fast service with kind people

Outstanding! Made three stops at this place for my early morning coffee and it is the best. Quality was great, service was great and the coffee was on point. The breakfast sandwiches are awesome too. They don't skimp on the meat and while it might be a little pricey it is totally worth it. Wish we had a place like this in Cali. This is a small stand so don't think about sitting down. It was cold so we were told to wait in car for food and they walked it to the car. Great service. read more

Great food and coffee! Amazing service!! We were in town for just one day and it was definitely worth a stop to this cute shop!

Great coffee, wonderful smiling faces (particularly useful before one consumes coffee).

This place had the best bagel with Lox that I have had so far! Bakery was fresh and delicious, and the coffee was great. Fantastic service throughout our visit, and the outdoor eating area was cozy and comfortable. Overall, after a long stay at Yellowstone, before a trip down Bear Tooth Highway, this is the perfect place to stop for some great breakfast and some hot coffee. read more

I love this coffee shop! You can bring your own cup, the brew is strong. The barista is knowledgeable and friendly. They're open on Christmas and New Year's. They do sell pastries and muffins and some handheld lunches. It can be seen from regular traffic, right before the Yellowstone National Park north entrance. If you're in the area, this is the place to get coffee! it is truly Gardiner's gem. read more

First of all, the nicest lady owns this business and works it in the freezing cold and early early morning. Huge appreciation for her!! And on top of that she's got great options of lattes, cappuccino, and americanos. They taste amazing! She's soo accommodating too. There's three parking spots immediately in the front but plenty of parking around it. Literally right next to the north entrance to Yellowstone so very convenient. We had breakfast burritos which had like a southwest style and breakfast sandwiches the next day! Both very good options and tasted delicious. read more

Finding places to eat in Gardiner can be difficult. Many of the cafes are only open a few hours a day or not at all, depending on the time of year you're visiting. My husband and I were early to rise to get into the park, so we were pleased to find Bear Brew. They open early, so we could stop for coffee and breakfast on the way into the park. Their selection of beverages is awesome, and their bagel sandwiches were the best we've ever tried. Our sandwiches were properly wrapped in foil, so we could drive into the park and eat them several hours later with no issue. The hot food is made to order, so get there early if you're on a time crunch; any wait is well worth it! read more

100% highly recommend stopping here to pickup breakfast/coffee if you are in Gardiner or heading into Yellowstone National Park. Wish I found this place earlier in our stay! The food and coffee drinks were absolutely incredible! 10/10 read more

Great service, great food, amazing drinks!! Super fast and we went 2 times it was just too good.

Excellent location -- right before entering Yellowstone at the North entrance. There's a few spots right in front and parking along the side street as well which makes it easy. Everything we had was really tasty! We stopped here every morning we could, and had both iced and hot mochas and lattes with oat milk. They were delicious and hit the spot. We didn't have any of their baked goods but they looked really good too. Definitely recommend and will be returning! read more
