Had a quick overnight stay in Missoula. Wanted to have at least one little fun experience before heading north to my destination. Popped into Black Coffee and was delighted. It's a huge hangar type space filled with locals bustling in for their morning coffee. My typical way to know if I'll like a coffee shop is if their cappuccino is only offered in one (or two) sizes. Black Coffee had that-BINGO. Delicious and perfectly made. My only regret is not buying beans to brew at home. read more

Black Coffee Roasting - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Missoula, Montana

4 stars Tucked into a gorgeous old Quonset hut, Black Coffee Roasting Co. (525) is worth a stop for the building alone--that curved corrugated-metal shell, the tangle of Edison bulbs strung across the high ceiling, and a sunny little patio out back make it one of the more distinctive coffee spots around. The service was friendly and quick. I ordered at the counter and had my drink in hand in no time, with genuinely nice folks behind the bar. The menu has some fun, unexpected touches too--the mint cold brew is a standout you won't find everywhere, and it's refreshing without being gimmicky. The pastry case is where they really shine. House-made bialys, savory danishes with coconut greens and pork belly, sweet danishes with black tea and roasted rhubarb, plus a rotating lineup of cookies and tea cakes. Everything looks like it's made with real care, and the bakery side (Grist) clearly takes the craft seriously. One heads-up: there's no WiFi. If you're hoping to post up and grind through a few hours of work, this isn't the spot for it--plan on a shorter visit or bring a hotspot. For a quick, high-quality coffee-and-pastry run, though, it's a winner. Come for the architecture and the mint cold brew, stay for the bialys--just don't expect to get much emailing done. read more

Great quality every day go-to coffee. Stopped by while driving through town and since then have been ordering it on-line in 5 lb bags and some sample packs to try more of their offerings. Delicious and reliable. read more

Nearly drove by the spot, it so perfectly blends. Even on a busy Saturday morning I was still able to grab a table, near the fireplace to boot! The baristas were super nice and helpful. I got a lavender latte. You can pick your brew of espresso! Which I thought was SO neat! I've never been able to do that before. The drink was incredible, but the croissant! Whoa! It was an EXPERIENCE! The perfect amount of crunchy on the outside but the inside is flaky and just the smallest hint of sweet. Hands down the BEST croissant I've ever had. Side story- they close at 1pm on Saturday, I was working on my computer and lost track of time. Even thought they were closed they didn't kick any of us out OR ask us to leave. They just locked the door so no more people came in. No dirty looks, nothing. They just let the people still inside enjoy their drinks and food. I thought that was incredibly sweet. I would GLADLY go here again! read more

Everything is great, definitely stop by if you're in the area! I do wish there were some more options for breakfast sandwiches, like a bacon egg and cheese but the bialys are very good. read more

"How is this latte so delicious?" That's the actual thought I had when I took my first sip. I was still thinking the same thing at the last sip. I'll be back to try more of the menu. Nice setting and excellent service, too, when I went this morning. read more

I'm not a coffee person so I didn't understand what anything meant but the waiter helped pick a drink right for me overall had an amazing experience the food was good wait time was short and atmosphere was amazing. read more

This is my favorite spot for coffee in Missoula. The coffee tastes high quality, the shop is spacious and airy- it's open to the outdoors via big rolling garage doors when it's nice out. The shop is tucked away outside of town and has a unique indoor-outdoor feeling. It's a cool spot. They also sell loaves of Grist bread and have a nice section of coffee brewing paraphernalia and t-shirts and hats. read more

Absolutely great vibe in the shop that blends industrial and cozy. Coffee was delicious. Friendly service and lots of baked goods options.

Cute little place! The coffee was good, they had a decent selection and also a decent selection of toasts to give you a little sustenance for the morning. The service was a bit rough with the college kids but it was a fairly busy place for the last 10mins we were there. It's a good spot to check out but it looks like there are also a lot of local coffee shops around town! read more

I love Black Coffee - I brew their Vinyl blend at home! I was in town for Pearl Jam and the next morning decided to go sit outside and enjoy a cold brew. Cool spot! It was quite busy however and the line was out the door to order. The barista was quick on making my drink however! $6.00 for a 16oz - it was delicious and started my day off right. read more

Black Coffee Roasting - Mint Cold Brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Missoula, Montana

Great place to chill and enjoy great coffee and a nice dirty chai! That says a lot for a city with many coffee shops!

Delicious coffee and pastries with great service! We stopped by for breakfast on our way west to Washington and they definitely did not disappoint. read more

Very cool space! Looks like they do their own roasting and it's open, high roof, and decent amount of indoor seating. Folks were quick and good suggestions (plenty of bean types to choose from). Got a little pastry in the form of choco croissant, which was pretty basic, still delicious, just exactly what you'd expect. Great cafe stop for a ride, or just first thing in the morning. read more

We stumbled on this great coffee house on the back streets during a walk about. The had a long line and catered to a lot of locals it seemed. We got a cold brew coffee and a plum danish. Both were tasty and amazing and fresh. The cold brew was only half full of ice with a generous amount of coffee which is refreshing as some places put in too much ice. We will definitely be back. read more

Lovely coffee shop right across the AC hotel in Missoula! I am not a coffee drinker but they have some good tea selection. I always get the London fog which never disappoints and is solid! My coffee loving friends love the coffee here! They also have some really good toast selection on their menu! Great for a quick breakfast bite. The croissants and cardamom knots don't disappoint as well! Definitely worth a visit when in Missoula! I end up here every morning for some tea, toast and fresh Montana morning air!! Amazing service and staff!! Highly recommended when in Missoula!! read more

Long line handled quickly & friendly. Great service & tasty beverages. My daughters lived their iced vanilla latte & iced dirty chai. My wife's golden milk & my Americano were also very good. read more

I can see why the line was out of the door and well worth the wait (I usually won't wait in line & go to a different place). Conveniently located across from our hotel, the AC Missoula (in town for a wedding). The prosciutto toast on organic grist bread is a heavenly combination. Their matcha latte was perfectly balanced. Also - just wondering what the latte art was meant to be . Coming back tomorrow for breakfast before we leave town. Great place - don't miss! read more

DELICIOUS. We got a chocolate croissant - maybe the best I've ever had? The chocolate was so good, still soft. 10/10. Also got a Snail which is like a pepperoni pizza croissant? SO GOOD. Remembered to get a picture before I ate the whole thing. For a drink I had a matcha latte. They have ceremonial grade matcha and they whisk it properly and everything. Not too sweet, so tasty. The service was great. Very knowledgeable about the matcha when I asked if it was good. I ordered quite a few pastries and got to my car before I noticed one wasn't in the bag. I walked back in and they were super accommodating. Can't wait to come back (but I live 8 hours away) read more

Great staff and yummy breakfast. The coffee is good as well. All the cool kids seem to be there. Does anybody actually work in Missoula or just drink coffee with the exception of the staff of course. read more

Wonderful tasting coffee. Bold and mature. Many to choose from. My café ole was good. Wish they had almond milk. But oat was fine. Hot Chocolate good. But too much chocolate. Matcha Iced. She loved it. Very yummy. Carmel latte with whole milk. Good Carmel latte with oat milk. Good. I would come again. We have been all over the country and so we know good coffee. It's very hard to get a five star with us. read more

Black Coffee Roasting - the inside of a restaurant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Missoula, Montana

Dinged them a star for flies overrunning the place with the doors open AND because they've downsized all normal sizes. For example, a small is 8 oz instead of 12. A medium is 12 oz instead of 16. A large is 16 oz instead of 20. Which if you don't know that ahead of time is just extremely annoying to get a latte way smaller than your expectation. Ugh. Taste was decent. Service pleasant. There was seating inside if we were staying. But we weren't. Seemed overly expensive for the smaller size. read more

The service at this shop was really good, they were willing to take the time to answer my questions about their chai even though they had a line out of the door. I'm very particular about my chai lattes, I like them to be extra spicy and made in house. After discussing how their chai is made and how it can be made extra spicy, I opted for a dirty chai latte with soy milk. I was a bit disappointed as the chai latte lacked a bit of complexity and was a bit watery, but it wasn't the worst I've had. The reason I'd still recommend this shop is I didn't try their other lattes and the place was packed, so I can't fully judge. I usually don't order food with my coffee, but the pastry's looked too good. I opted for the cardamom knot, which was buttery and coated in cinnamon sugar with a hint of spice. Delicious! Although it was busy, there was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It wasn't overly loud either, so it would be a good spot for socializing or work. I'd definitely go back the next time I visit Missoula to try a different drink. read more

This place looks like a retro airplane hangar that's been converted into a café. We ordered the mocha latte and a honey latte. They both were perfect. We also tried their fancy toast options they had available, we got the prosciutto and it was amazing as well. I can't stress enough how much we enjoyed this place. They were pretty busy and it just added to the experience. Didn't take long for our drinks or food to be ready. read more

Black Coffee Roasting - Large mocha latte that looks so good I didn't want to cover it with a lid! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Missoula, Montana

One of the best lattes I've ever had - top 10 in my lifetime for sure! These people have their shit dialed. I got an 8-oz breve latte. Mmmmmmm. We stopped here during the COVID pandemic and I felt they handled their service very safely. We didn't get to go inside but just based on the seamless service and damn-good lattes they get 5 stars. read more

Best coffee in Missoula! While the majority of the building appears to be devoted to roasting they do have a counter that serves some awesome coffee drinks. Their latte's are on point. Tried their mint cold brew coffee on my last visit and it was delicious, Will be back next time I am in Missoula! read more

Beautiful establishment, lovely people, and delicious offerings..... Made it totally worth getting off the beaten path, on my way through this town. I had a dark roast americano and the berry-chia jam & cheddar toast - and I was delightfully satisfied! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and presented quickly & mindfully. Another small but notable detail is the lavender hand soap in the bathroom.. heavenly, lol! Wish I was coming through here again, cause I would really like to try more toastsssss!!! But, this is the exact reason I seek out local shops (instead of just hitting a StrBks), because I really appreciate unique experiences and the vibe of small business artisans! read more

Black Coffee Roasting - Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Missoula, Montana

I really wanted to love this place. I moved from Bozeman a few months ago, and I really wanted to find a local coffee shop here that would be a go to place. Everyone was recommending black coffee. I'll start off by saying the ambiance in here is lovely. Very bright and open concept, music is good, pastries and bread are all LOVELY. Staff is nice and always kind and helpful. Now on to my bone to pick with this place: Drinks of any kind. I have gone multiple times, and each time have left dissatisfied and honestly really disappointed that I've wasted both the drink and my money. I was thrilled they made their own syrups as there are one of few places in town that do. However I've ordered lattes on multiple visits to this place and each time the drink is super bitter, and lacks any kind of sweetness when I've ordered it to be so. Today I ordered a matcha latte, something other than coffee with vanilla and oat milk. I wanted to give this place one more chance before giving a full review. Matcha lacked any kind of traditional flavor, color was off too light, tasted like just milk and there was no sweetness to it whatsoever. read more

Busy place on a Saturday morning but a great vibe and delicious coffee! Great option for coffee when you're downtown!

I'm always on the road for business. At every coffee shop I expect two things. Good coffee and free WiFi, I guess 2.5 would be avocado toast. Well B.C.R checks two of the boxes. They have good coffee, and good avocado toast! But no WiFi? Anyways. It's was a chill kick back spot, good vibes and friendly staff. Lots of seats but at times every table was taken. Hoping for WiFi next time I'm in town!! read more

Make a great latte and cup of coffee. Only con is no almond milk only oat and soy non-dairy alternatives. Overall can recommend

Great coffee and lovely staff. Will be back again when I visit Missoula. Wish this was around when I lived here

Best coffee in town! Delicious baked goods to accompany your coffee. If you want to replicate the beverage experience at home, grab a bag of beans. My personal favorite is Vinyl. read more
