Perfect place to stop on your way in/out of Yellowstone National Park. They have fantastic coffee, and creative local options like huckleberry milkshakes. We got the bison burger and the veggie panini. Both were delicious. They also serve ice cream, and have a gift shop. You can look out onto the mountains and the national park sign from the entrance. Super friendly staff as well!!

Food was amazing! Especially the Lamar Valley Bison Scramble! Chefs kiss! The coffee was also really amazing! Had fast steady wifi which was very convenient as we had some work to do while on the trip. Fast service didnt have to wait long Overall best stop and food Ive had while on the trip. Great selection of sweaters and gifts as well and great ice cream!

They exceeded my expectations! We got a Huckleberry Latte, Huckleberry Iced Matcha and Huckleberry Affogato. The drinks were perfect - not too sweet but very flavorful. Best coffee we have had in 5 days since being in Yellowstone. The staff was so friendly and helpful.
