Overview

About This Establishment

Glacier winds swirl as Montana Coffee Traders pours a bold Glacier Blend espresso with tight crema. The Glacier Melt stacks turkey, Applewood bacon, avocado, tomato, and Swiss on Montana multi-grain bread, delivering a crisp crust and creamy interior with bright acidity from the tomato. The Cowboy Scramble offers a hearty egg-based bite, while the Chai Latte brings warm spice and steam; portions are substantial and satisfying after a hike.
