    The best coffee kiosk in Missoula. I get my coffee there daily and the baristas are great!

    Tried to call and order for pick up. Their customer service was poor and the staff was incredibly rude!

    I'm not a sweet coffee drink person anymore, but I enjoyed the huckleberry mocha that I got here. The barista was really friendly as well.

    Feeling good about giving my business to LC after being a long time customer of another local coffee co. Keep up the good work.

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.

(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.

HOWEVER, you guys have got to get your shit figured out. The cashier gave us a number placard, and told us to stay at the front to get our drinks before sitting. So we did. Employees were abuzz, swarming like ping pong balls, and making food/drinks. We stood and waited, then after like 15 minutes a gal came out and handed me my plate of food!? We hadn't even gotten our drinks yet. Why was I being handed food first , vs my drink then served food at our table? So I wandered to a table without my spouse, and started to eat as he waited at the front for our drinks. :( I'm not happy about the disorder and chaos. This is NOT the way to run a restaurant. We sat and enjoyed our lattes, and the eclectic ambiance. Finally another ten to 15 minutes later, my husband's biscuits and gravy arrived. I was already done eating, when he began to eat. Sad to say, our experience was extremely disappointing. Totally disjointed experience, and it left us feeling very frustrated and irritated. This shouldn't need to be said, but you guys need to serve people in the order they come in. Get those tickets done asap, and it'll clear up your insane bottleneck you create by serving the "easiest" drinks and meals first. Yummy food, but NOT a good dining experience. Also, there are some funny reviews whining about feeling uncomfortable that this place is anti-ICE. Pro-lgbtq. "Oh the horror" to be inclusive, and tolerant of other people! lol Clyde Coffee is said to be a "liberal" coffee shop, but if you think about it, this is simply human decency... Treat others with basic kindness, and you won't feel such guilt. :)

    Loose Caboose is a perfectly acceptable road-trip coffee stop and one that we were happy to…read morediscover while passing through Missoula. It has a local following (and ownership story), a friendly vibe, a cute logo and stand design that fits the name well, and the kind of welcoming personality that makes you smile a bit before getting back on the road. The menu is broad and should satisfy just about anyone in the car. There are numerous hot and cold coffee drinks, tea options, a wide variety of syrups, and several milk choices to accommodate different tastes and dietary preferences. Service was prompt, cheerful, and genuinely friendly. The coffee itself, however, lands closer to average for me. The drinks tend to rely more heavily on syrups and sweeteners than allowing the coffee to be the star. If you've visited places like Mercury Coffee around Seattle or Dutch Bros, you'll have a good sense of what to expect. As someone who has probably spent more time debating roast profiles than any reasonably adjusted adult should, I recognize that I may not be the ideal customer for this style of coffee stand, so take that criticism with the appropriate grain of salt. That said, context matters. For a drive-through stand in Missoula, Loose Caboose compares favorably with many similar options, and if you're willing to set aside any Seattle or San Francisco coffee snobbery, it's actually a bit above average for what it aims to be. Final Thoughts: Loose Caboose isn't a destination coffee shop that I'd build an itinerary around, but it's absolutely worth pulling over for if you're driving through town and looking for a pleasant caffeine stop. Friendly service, plenty of options, and a fun atmosphere make it an easy recommendation for road trippers. -AC
