Good coffee and espresso! Beautiful spot to sit and have rest. Owner personable. Cute options for swag.

Good coffee and quick service. Near entrance to the park and convenient stop off before going into park.

Bad coffee and unfriendly attendant. It felt like we were not welcome from the overall attitude of the attendant.

Cute store and ice cream parlor. Bought two cute stickers and a small magnet ice cream was ok we got moose tracks on the sugar cone. Dude was chill not friendly but not rude either just neutral and quick with the service. read more

Breakfast, Coffee, and Ice cream was all delicious!! The owner Tod is an amazing person and was very nice to us. Wait time for food was next to nothing and the interior decor was very welcoming. Would recommend to anyone staying by Mammoth. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Absolutely perfect lunch spot! We had the bison burger, tacos, pulled pork, sloppy joes, grilled cheese, and veggie green panini and all of us thought each dish was beyond delicious and different compared to other food options in the area! The atmosphere was incredibly friendly and service was top notch. The only bad thing I have to say is that they didn't sell jars of their special sauce or merchandise with their logo on it. I would have bought both in a heartbeat. Stop if you're in Yellowstone...way better than lodge food! read more

Like any tourist spot, it's the location which can sometimes be way overpriced. I got this $16 breakfast to go during Memorial Weekend during my Yellowstone trip. I'd say to others save your money and wait until Yellowstone Pizza next door opens up. It will be well worth it. Their pizza is pretty good, and well, isn't cheap (they only have one size) it was delicious compared to this. Undercooked bacon, hardly any potatoes, and hardly toasted bread. Staff were cordial and nice but I was hungry and mainly interested in the food. I should have drove in the park to Mamoth Hot Springs and got breakfast there. read more

Yellowstone Perk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gardiner, Montana

Was only stopping through for a night but ended up eating here for both dinner and breakfast. Great people and even better food. Highly recommend! read more

Walking in everyone was so welcoming. We had the turkey panini and it was by far the best panini we have ever had. Could eat lunch here every day! read more

We tried the graham slam and the huckleberry ice cream.The scoops were small, and the prices were high, but overall this wasn't a bad experience. If you're looking for ice cream in a pinch this is fine. read more

Their huckleberry fudge ice cream is out of this world! I have been dreaming of it since we left town. If you are in town you have to stop - Their ice cream is made locally and the taste proves that. Such a friendly staff - quality and customer service - the main staples in keeping a business alive! read more

See all

Awesome spot right next to the Yellowstone National Park North Entrance. We stopped on our way in, and again the next day on our way out and both times the drinks were excellent!! Service was fast and friendly even while the shop was busy. The chai tea latte was my favorite- so well done. I will remember this place next time we come through town! read more

Huge scoops! One scoop is like a pint of ice cream. I had the huckleberry in a cone, my son had Bobcat batter. You HAVE to at least try a sample of the Bobcat batter, its AMAZING! My husband enjoyed a delicious mocha. It was a chilly night and we enjoyed sitting inside as it was toasty. Cute souviners yo browse as well. read more

Yellowstone Perk - Huge scoops! huckleberry in a cone, Bobcat batter in a cup. You HAVE to at least try a sample of the Bobcat batter, its AMAZING! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gardiner, Montana

Nice place with quick and friendly service. It's a good place to warm up during the snow.

Incredibly overpriced, even for a "resort" town. $5.49 for a single scoop, that's literally a single scoop, ice cream. At least at other places they fill the dish for a single scoop. And it's only $3-4 for that. Had I know , I never would have walked in the door. At least I checked the menu so I wouldn't go in for a $9 coffee the next morning read more

The two stars are just because the ice cream was delicious and the portions were generous. Apart from that, the service was, without question, the worst I've ever received. I walked in and simply asked for, "Two coffees please". The young lady working all but scoffed at me while saying, "... Care to tell me what KIIND of coffees?? Orrr?" After telling her I just wanted two drip coffees she gave me more attitude when asking me what sizes I wanted. After getting a gigantic ice cream I asked, "this is just ONE scoop?!" She barked yes at me and pointed to the register. Then while trying to figure out whether to insert my card or swipe it she literally raised her voice to me to, "press DEBIT OR CREDIT before swiping". I'm a barista... And I truly cannot believe someone works in the service industry and treats people this way. Especially at Yellowstone where I imagine there are a lot of tourists who probably require some additional patience. This was on the 2nd of September at 6pm. read more

Literally the best coffee shop!! I wish we had this in LA. We came here before the whole flooding in Yellowstone. We came to this shop everyday and ordered the huckleberry shake and the hot chocolate wow wow I sure miss it. They also serve hot food, ice cream and pastries. So delicious! I can't wait to go back and order everything on their menu. read more

This is a "coffee" place, judging by the name... however, the folks working here didn't seem to know what I meant by "extra shot". I also paid extra $$ for a (vanilla) latte, nope. No vanilla. Tastes burnt. Come on, focus. Edit to add: my friend's chai latte was great - now I'm really sad. read more

Great spot for a pick me up. Coffee was good, bagel sandwich was delicious, and the bison chili. MY GOD the chili. Homemade by the owner and best chili I've ever had (outside my own mamas, of course.) read more

Staff was super friendly and helpful. The product was quality and very delicious. Happy to have stopped at Yellowstone Perk!

Excellent ice cream and service - the line was out the door and it would be easy for a server to get frazzled, yet both of them were exceptionally upbeat and friendly. read more

The quality of the ice cream was pretty good but the portions were ridiculously small and it was extremely over priced, I wouldn't go back again. read more

Went in for lunch and was given the incorrect order. When I asked about it, I was told it was my problem and I should have checked my receipt. Man and woman working were very rude and condescending to me. My husband voiced his opinion on the issue and was told to "Go F@$k yourself"! Will never go again and I hope others won't either! read more

Tasty coffee! Yummy chocolates! The staff was nice and quick. I really liked the local coffee creamer and location. I'll definitely be back :) read more

zero star! Rudest server/owner I have ever met! Refused to warm up a cold cup of coffee this afternoon! No customer service skills, and argues and swears at customers! You should shut your door you little Jerk! Now I know why I LOVE STARBUCKS! Look for a Starbucks when in town! read more

Excellect tasting ice cream! Filled the cones full when ordering only one scoop! Friendly staff and offered samples. Homemade waffle cones is also a plus. Would 100% stop again! read more

Went here on my trip to Yellowstone. OMG is all I can say about the ice cream and waffle cones. I had a few shots of espresso too which were also good. I will definitely be coming back the next time I visit Yellowstone. Now back to the ice cream - it was over all the best ice cream I've ever had in my life. I've been searching high and low for ice cream as good as this ever since I've been here. (Izzy's Ice cream in St Paul MN is as close as I've come to finding ice cream this good.) The Perk makes their ice cream homemade and their waffle cones are made fresh everyday. The best waffle cone I've ever had in my life too! I tried both the peppermint ice cream and the moose tracks. Our whitewater rafting guide said he eats the ice cream as much as possible because its so good. Very HIGHLY recommended! read more

"Perk" made me think "coffee shop / cafe" but they're really a little store that happens to serve some coffee, smoothies and ice cream. No food, just cookies. The coffee was good though. read more

Best waffle cones in that area! Great friendly servers that made you want to come back again!

This review is for the coffee - haven't tried the ice cream there yet. I would give the coffee 3 stars (was a decent cup) and the service 1. Not sure if the worker was having a bad day but I was only 1 of 2 people there and it took her over 7 minutes to say hi. Then, without a smile told me it would be another 4-5 minutes before she could help me. This is also a pharmacy so I understand the timing needed to fill prescriptions but a simple smile would have been huge. I traveled to Yellowstone from another part of Montana & it seemed pretty obvious she wasn't happy dealing with tourists (she referred to park goers as "idiots"). I only hope this unhappy worker wasn't the owner and she can show a friendlier smile to others. read more

My wife and I recently spent a night in Gardiner on our Yellowstone visit. We visited Yellowstone Perk twice....the first time was for ice cream... The second time was for morning coffee as we headed to the Park. They serve Wilcoxson Ice Cream, something I had never heard of before....evidently, they are a regional ice cream maker in Montana. Anyway, Wilcoxson is among the best ice cream I've ever had...incredible. The morning iced coffee was excellent too. And, the service both times was impeccable. read more

This ice cream is outstanding and the prices are cheap for the amount of ice cream given. The staff is super friendly and eager to serve. This is definitely an underrated ice cream shop. I encourage everyone to give this place a try and try the different flavors. Anything you get will be great. read more

Great food and service, we had 12 people 6 were kids, sat at one table outside, the waiter came around got drink orders and food orders very fast! Food was very good try the nachos they tasted very fresh with vegetables, it's a must do! read more

Best ice cream we've ever had... Graham slam in homemade waffle cones! Kids also loved stuck in a rut. Awesome stop...came three times!

Someone local recommeded this place for their huckleberry ice cream. It was very good! Very friendly staff too!

Service takes forever even though it was not that busy. Just brew coffee in your hotel. It just tastes the same.

As a local,The Yellowstone perk is my favorite place in town. The coffee is great, the Ice Cream is better and there is no better feeling in the world than taking my joyous sister out for ice cream every weekend, all served by an eager staff set in an homely, comfortable building. read more
