Scott needs to pay his employees. He is running each and every one of his businesses into the ground and putting many Missoulians in difficult positions where they can't pay bills or make ends meet because of his poor decisions. The food was always just ok and never spectacular. The staff has always been kind and attentive. It's sad that his poor choices and big ego is causing so much hardship. I hope the endless free meals and drinks he gave to all of his friends and symphony members are worth it at this point. What a sad man. read more

Food is fresh and delicious. I had the Protein Scramble, Vegetarian Version. I enjoyed the abundance of veggies and eggs. Sourdough bread was good aswell. Coffee was fresh and I enjoyed they have heavy whipping and oat milk selections. The staff were amazing, helpful and patient. It is a semi self service. They do bring the food to your table with utensils. Water etc is self serve. The facility is tight and compact. Small tables good for just coffee and a muffin. Small for 2 people to eat at. read more

Liquid Planet Grille - Vegetarian Protein Scramble - Cafes Near Me - Missoula, Montana

Party of five. Mixture of pastries and breakfast dishes. My veggie browns were fabulous! The biscuits and gravy are my favorite. Does a tremendous business. The place is great for good portions. I would not recommend the back dining area for more than two people. It is cramped, the music is so loud you cannot talk or hear if someone is talking. Being 75 years old, I guess I am out of my element. I have had pretty good service when I have been there. Just will not go with more than a group of two. read more

This is and remains a great place for breakfast. We love the veggie browns and Hangover Potatoes. But best of all is the biscuit basket, which comes with large, cheddar-jalapeño biscuits (or plain, if you prefer), served with honey butter and huckleberry preserves. Worth the wait. Today, our biscuits arrived under-cooked. No problem. We gladly waited for a new batch. They were apologetic, kind and helpful. Great staff. read more

Been to this location 2x and haven't been pleased. The first time I understood why they denied me my order but the barista ringing me up was rude and grumpy. The second time the drink was made wrong. I ordered a hot chocolate with oat milk and they cross contaminated their scoop for the hot chocolate mix with their Aztec mocha powder and that's gross and could've been a health problem. I asked for my drink to be remade and the barista said yes but then wondered off and I had to ask the janitor to get her so she could remake it. I wasn't happy and she wasn't pleased either. The staff needs to work on their attitude towards customers because it was not pleasant being served by someone who was not being pleasant and who was barely polite. I get that they were tired and wanted to go home but they can at least do the bare minimum and be polite to customers. I don't plan on going back to this location due to their poor customer service. I will say however the ambiance is nice and they won't kick you out if you stay too long. But that is the only reason I would consider going back there. read more

A staple of the University District neighborhood. I enjoy the outdoor seating, but there is plenty of indoor seating too! I learned about some great new tea drinks here. Try the African Latte! I didn't eat here a lot, but a friend tells me the biscuits and gravy are amazing. read more

I love this place! As a vegan, there are some great options with the veggie browns being my fave! Also love the lotus, tea and smoothie options. Their matcha latte (with a splash of vanilla) hands down beats the big coffee place in town! Super friendly staff and such a cool vibe to chill! read more

The food was incredible!!!!! The presentation amazing! However the gal Molisa that worked behind the counter.. yes she is the first person to take orders setting the stage, was incredibly rude and miserable. Sad- really. A smile and a welcome in would be so nice - especially in the service industry???? We were sad about the dog laws on the patio... but every state has there regulations. Thanks for the scrumptious breakfast! Hats off to our server and the cooks! read more

Excellent burrito, I got the big sky with no mushrooms. Great espresso as well, I got a double Americano. Very kind staff and the vibe is very college. read more

Stopped here for the first time. We ordered eggs Benedict, vegan espresso cupcake, a large cappuccino and a 24 oz chocolate mocha nut frappe with one shot of espresso. Food was just ok, not warm, a little too oily for my taste. Cappuccino was great, frappe was just soso, it lacked flavor, too sweet to my like. read more

I rarely feel compelled to write reviews, but it had to be said. The avocado toast here is nearly inedible. It's bland, and I'm not even convinced that they use real avocados. It seemed more like a spread. On top of that, they put an obscene amount of nuts and seeds on top of the toast. If you go to Liquid Planet, opt for anything other than the avocado toast. read more

The food is bleh. I did just order the eggs and potatoes with toast. The toast was burnt and the eggs were not cooked over medium. Looks like they Al kost poached them. read more

This place has went downhill. I eat here maybe once/season. The outdoor patio is beyond sad. Aging concrete tables with peeling paint, a bench made of sagging lumber secured with concrete bricks. The indoor seating is much more appealing. Lets talk about the food. The menu is too big for such a tiny kitchen and the food quality suffers. Examples: the chicken dishes that I've ordered lately (tinga tacos, chicken Caesar) have contained old, reheated meat and it's obvious. The wrap was overdressed and the tortilla wasn't even warmed up. Sometimes, the chips taste stale. Or an ingredient is forgotten. The lack of consistency makes me not want to return. And their front of the house ordering system is inefficient (but the workers are friendly and have never been rude to me, which is why I gave an extra star). Be prepared for them to forget about your drink, bakery item or side. That part is so consistent, it's laughable. Overall, this place used to be a lot better. read more

First time there today. Just checking it out. Good looking menu...extensive for a coffee house. Just one thing. WAY overpriced. $6.50 (with tip) for a tall vanilla latte. Seriously? Bacon cheese burger is $22.00! Chicken strips are $22.00!!! Really? Plain old omelet $18.00. This is Missoula, not Aspen! Go somewhere else. Looking forward to the new Mexican place this group has plans for, but I'm sure it will be overpriced as well. read more

Stale expensive cinnamon bun, weak, tasteless coffee. The place needs a good cleaning and walls painted. read more

I tried them three times and all three were epic fails. Each time they were painfully slow and each time they screwed up the food we ordered. The prices seem high. I really feel bad dissing a local business but I'd recommend most anywhere over this place. Example: Breakfast all day is clearly a load of crap: we got Veggie Browns at 11:30a.m. and they served greasy tater tots topped with what looked like processed cheese slices and fried onions = sadly some "tots" (NOT the menu's "herbed potatoes"!) and toppings they apparently diverted from burgers. If you look close you might see a piece of broccoli. Blech for $10 :( read more

The service here is always amazing, especially for how busy it usually is. The coffee is usually very good with tons of options. The Thai Chicken soup I had was extremely bland, the chicken was dry and I'm not sure what made it "Thai". Doesn't seem like a lot of effort is put into the special items there in general other than the coffee. The base menu is pretty good. I don't know if it's a lack of knowledge or skill, but I'd stick to the standard menu. read more

Excellent coffee and a great quick serve concept ... I can't wait til they bring the new location to the old Denny's spot!

Took over the Denny's Restaurant building. Did some remodeling and rebranding. Menu is more upscale but still feels like Denny's. I did like the carrot cake pancakes and the Americano was good. They offer some decent pastry. Service was good during our three visits since they opened. read more

This place was awful. I had to speak to four employees before I could actually get help. Then I went to go pick up my order, ask them where my drinks were, and the lady replied they hadn't been made yet and then walked away and started cutting oranges. Meanwhile the barista was stuck at the register and the line was forming behind me of about 10 people. The barista was overwhelmed, asked for help and the other employee ignored her. There was no communication between staff. When I asked if they could make my drinks, I was ignored. Finally the barista asked the other stuff member for help again she looked behind her shoulder and claimed that she didn't realize there were so many people waiting. But she knew I was waiting and ignored me. The barista was finally able to start making drinks for a line of people that had already paid. Then the other staff member came over and started lecturing me on how and where to pick up my food the next time I came in. I already had my food and I was waiting for my drinks to be made and I had communicated that several times. Then the manager came over and asked what the problem was, I explained that no one was communicating with each other and the people were starting to get frustrated because they weren't getting help and I had been there for 15 minutes waiting for someone to start making my drinks, when the food was already cold and a line of about 10 people were helped ahead of me, when they were supposed to be behind me. I was first in line. Meanwhile, there are delivery drivers waiting for their orders and can't get help either. The manager took offense, started yelling at me, told me never to come back, and if I did, she would call the police on me. I explained all I was trying to do is get my food that I had already paid for and ordered. She got angry with me, followed me out to my car and started yelling across the restaurant inside and outside telling me never to come back as she followed me to my car. The manager did this! She was a female, dark skin, short hair, and wearing a hat and apron. Extremely unprofessional staff that doesn't communicate and skips people in line and has no sense of priority. Yelling, mouthing off, threatening, and foul language. I will never ever invite my family here or recommend this place to my friends. read more

Dangit. This place supposedly is great, but my 2nd experience here made it so that I will never, ever come back. TL;DR When I was uncomfortable paying $3 more than the menu said for toast, then the machine made it so that I left a 26% tip while needing to get my own water, my own utensils, my own napkins, my own hot sauce, Sammy behind the counter hollered across the diner at me saying, "I DON'T WANT YOU TO GO, LIKE, BROKE OR SOMETHING." Humiliating a customer with a comment that should never be said by someone who works at a diner. So I go up to the counter, order a hot chocolate and Avocado Toast. I'm excited and craving it. This is a counter service bar - you get your napkins, sauces, your own water, etc. My total was $11.70 , so when she flips the tablet around I want to round my tip up to $12.00 (before you shame me, I was an ACTUAL server at a restaurant but I basically waitressed myself at this place, I don't feel I'm even required to leave that tip). Well, somehow it goes to $3.00. Tipping $3.00 on an $11 tab at a counter diner was NOT in the plans. And I said, "Oh no! I didn't mean to do that." She asked what I did, and I told her that I had left a huge tip I didn't mean to, but alas I was a server so I figured it would make their day and I would never, ever take a tip back. Well, my small breakfast total was $14.70 for a hot chocolate and avocado toast. I'm not too happy at all, so I ask for my receipt. I was charged $7.95 for the toast, and I asked her because the menu said $4.95. Well, she said that there was a half order and a full order. So I got charged for the full order without even being asked which one I wanted. Well I told her that I wanted the $4.95 one not the $7.95 one. It was just me eating and I only wanted a quick breakfast. The receipt says the cashier was Sammy. Well she says that she could fix it, but adds in "I DON'T WANT YOU TO GO, LIKE, BROKE OR SOMETHING." Never, ever should you ever comment on a customer's finances. Not only that, you don't holler it across the restaurant.... I was so embarrassed because I could feel all eyes on me. Never will I go to a place that could humiliate a person like that. Alas, I am yelp elite, eat out a ton, and I know what a fair price is and isn't. $14.70 for hot cocoa and avocado toast is just unreasonable, and when you're uncomfortable, you're treated like a peasant. I won't ever go back, and by the way Sammy honey - I went in to actually check my stocks, which are doing very, very well! Haha! read more

Liquid Planet Grille - Avocado Toast, unusual. - Cafes Near Me - Missoula, Montana

I had the Veggie Browns with sourdough toast and a coffee for breakfast. The food was good, and the coffee was excellent. Order at the counter and your food is delivered to your table, while you listen for your drink and go pick it up. This place was busy - a good sign. I'd love to try lunch if I were in town longer. read more

Absolutely pitiful service, be prepared to be ignored & then wait even if the place is empty, it was actually amazing how bad the service was. Nothing was worth the wait, Skip It ! read more

My wife and I have been coming here for awhile for the amazing Avocado Toast and delightful coffee. Today however I am pleased to announce the arrival of the Impossible Burger to Missoula. Beyond that the General Manager (Jon) went above and beyond to ensure I was happy with the burger, and took the time to listen to my suggestions of more vegan options to pair with the burger...(Just Brands Mayonnaise, Dressings, and recently introduced JustEgg). Also it would be nice to look into vegan cheese options, (Daiya, Chao, Etc. ) Great food, great service! read more

Liquid Planet Grille - Impossible Burger now in Missoula! - Cafes Near Me - Missoula, Montana

I really like this location. The staff is always very patient and kind. I would highly recommend this place!

Amazing! I really don't know what else to say. I can't believe I waited so long to try this place. I'm sure it's going to be my new favorite lunch spot. There flavors are on point! It's a laid back atmosphere. It's a little noisy during lunch rush but tolerable. I strongly recommend this place! You won't be disappointed! read more

My boyfriend and I love this this place l. The food and service is always great. Very friendly staff. The morning glory is a must try!

Everyone is extremely rude, they are mean to employees, don't come here they don't deserve the service

This is really my favorite place in Missoula! Not only do they have the best coffee in town but the employees are some of the best people, they give every customer their own personal experience and I appreciate that so much ! The food is really lovely too. This place is perfect to me, I spend a lot of time here. read more

Liquid Planet Grille - Roca mocha ft. Latte Art by Cody - Cafes Near Me - Missoula, Montana

Came here for a quick bite to eat, enjoyed everything from the ambiance of the cafe to the meal itself! Quick service, and attentive staff. The food was enjoyable. Had the "turkey abides" which was their yummy version of a turkey club w/ avocados, bacon, and tomatoes! The side salad was also delish with fresh fixings and side of balsamic dressing! I'll definitely come back! read more

4 for The coffee and drinks are amazing. Great patio. Nice staff. 3 for Burgers and regular fries very average. Burgers were dry. But sweet potato fries, grilled cheese and wraps are yummy. Walked there every morning for coffee rather than our airbnb! Worth it. read more

It's been about a year since I've eaten breakfast here and I swear it's somehow better than before. I got the breakfast tacos and an iced dirty chai and both were amazing. The tacos were clearly made with intention and care, same with the dirty chai. It was one of those meals where you have to almost force yourself to slow down eating because you don't want it to end but it's also so delicious that it's easy to wolf down. This place is special and In honestly surprised to not see it as a top ten spot for breakfast. Keep up the great work Liquid Planet! read more

I have been coming to Liquid Planet Since I was a freshman in college, are used to be amazing under old management, now I have ordered two separate times and both times have been completely wrong, this most recent time I ordered a coffee, to be more specific a lavender latte and there was no coffee no flavoring just steamed milk. On a separate occasion I ordered a burrito without broccoli, and the entire burrito was just broccoli and it was on eatable and a waste of money. I will never be going to this place again read more

I had their Avocado Toast and I don't know how you mess up avocado toast but they did...where do I begin. the seeds? I'm not a bird. The avocado? Straight out of a travel pack you find in an airport. The bread? Stale as the vintage bricks that are on the Oval. Liquid Planet pls do better. read more

If this isn't the best coffee in town it's close enough for me. That statement is indicative of a satisfied customer. I only know the downtown location, which I can recommend for working, hanging out, meetings, etc. Once these (politically motivated) restrictions have been lifted, Liquid Planet will be a fine gathering place. read more

Always lovely and the world's best staff! The food is always perfect and god knows they have the best fries. I recommend the dude abides as well as their ptarmigan salad, so good! They also have incredible house made daily soup specials that are to die for. If you live near campus or on campus this is a great place for breakfast or lunch as well as studying. They have a nice outdoor seating area too. read more

Let me start by saying that above all its the service that makes this place 5 stars. I stayed in Missoula for a weeklong workshop & this place was a very convenient stop off in the morning for a coffee & muffin. But what I noticed right away was how friendly everyone was, & not just friendly, but authentically friendly. They earned my many repeated visits on that alone. But also, the food is fantastic! The salads are huge, abundant is a more apt word, really. The Thai tacos are absolutely my favorite lunch in a long time. A perfect size. I still don't understand how they made those tortillas so perfectly fresh & not too crumbly. Amazing. I would also recommend any of their freshly baked pastries. I have to admit that I was put off when I first walked in, as I couldn't quite figure out from the decor or the set up what this place was doing - a cafe? A diner? A fast lunch? A slow lunch? The answer is: everything. And they're doing it well! read more

I love the rustic atmosphere of the place. Many times it's a bit loud but it was just the busy time of the day. One particular male customer service I found not very attentive to customer. This is the third time I noticed that he didn't look at me while I ordered. The food was just too salty so I stopped order food. I ordered coffee most of the times because it's on the way to my classes. read more
