Great little coffee shack. We dropped in as we passed through for a visit to Glacier NP. My wife enjoyed a coffee and I had a Red Bull mixer. I would say service was a little slow on a Sunday morning but no big deal.

The people there are always so sweet! Their spiced chai lattes are really good!! One of my favorite places to get a chai in the valley!

I got the ice Matcha with lavender it was delicious. My husband got a cold brew w/ soy and he enjoyed it. The sizes of drinks range from small to very large. I love that. Prices were affordable. Just a great place if you love coffee and sodas. Many flavors to choose from. The service was great too. Glad I stop at this coffee shop.
