This Black Roasting Coffee Co has a high local rating, but the service is understaffed, coffee is good, and bagged beans are overpriced at $25 with old fresh dates. Not recommended for gifts unless you're okay with paying airport inflated prices for locally available products at one-third of the cost in town. The $35 plastic tumblers are especially disappointing and I couldn’t imagine anyone buying these. What a shame. I’ll be skipping this on all future flights except for a cup of hot coffee.

Exceptional coffee and cappuccinos with tasty baked goods. Glad we went and went again.

Cute little place! The coffee was good, they had a decent selection and also a decent selection of toasts to give you a little sustenance for the morning. The service was a bit rough with the college kids but it was a fairly busy place for the last 10mins we were there. It's a good spot to check out but it looks like there are also a lot of local coffee shops around town!

Compact place to get an early hot drink while gazing on those tempting merchandise sold there.

Busy place on a Saturday morning but a great vibe and delicious coffee! Great option for coffee when you're downtown!

Quality in ambience and drink options. The natural light with the way it lights the rooms is gorgeous to experience with the drinks in the pretty mason jars. What is lame is that you have to ask for them to not add sugar as it is automatically added to everything. Also there are employees there that are quite tacky in their communication. You got a dude there that just yells people's names over and over. I'm sure the people who ordered drinks will show up at some point. Would be nice if they stopped selling Grist bakery items as there are things that point to their covert racism.

Organic coffee. Hooray! I tried two medium, single origin coffees and both were excellent. Friendly service.

I really wanted to love this place. I moved from Bozeman a few months ago, and I really wanted to find a local coffee shop here that would be a go to place. Everyone was recommending black coffee. I'll start off by saying the ambiance in here is lovely. Very bright and open concept, music is good, pastries and bread are all LOVELY. Staff is nice and always kind and helpful. Now on to my bone to pick with this place: Drinks of any kind. I have gone multiple times, and each time have left dissatisfied and honestly really disappointed that I've wasted both the drink and my money. I was thrilled they made their own syrups as there are one of few places in town that do. However I've ordered lattes on multiple visits to this place and each time the drink is super bitter, and lacks any kind of sweetness when I've ordered it to be so. Today I ordered a matcha latte, something other than coffee with vanilla and oat milk. I wanted to give this place one more chance before giving a full review. Matcha lacked any kind of traditional flavor, color was off too light, tasted like just milk and there was no sweetness to it whatsoever.

The service at this shop was really good, they were willing to take the time to answer my questions about their chai even though they had a line out of the door. I'm very particular about my chai lattes, I like them to be extra spicy and made in house. After discussing how their chai is made and how it can be made extra spicy, I opted for a dirty chai latte with soy milk. I was a bit disappointed as the chai latte lacked a bit of complexity and was a bit watery, but it wasn't the worst I've had. The reason I'd still recommend this shop is I didn't try their other lattes and the place was packed, so I can't fully judge. I usually don't order food with my coffee, but the pastry's looked too good. I opted for the cardamom knot, which was buttery and coated in cinnamon sugar with a hint of spice. Delicious! Although it was busy, there was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It wasn't overly loud either, so it would be a good spot for socializing or work. I'd definitely go back the next time I visit Missoula to try a different drink.

Incredible staff that you can't find elsewhere, just like their coffee roasts. Still the exemplar cafe in Missoula.
Lovely coffee shop right across the AC hotel in Missoula! I am not a coffee drinker but they have some good tea selection. I always get the London fog which never disappoints and is solid! My coffee loving friends love the coffee here! They also have some really good toast selection on their menu! Great for a quick breakfast bite. The croissants and cardamom knots don't disappoint as well! Definitely worth a visit when in Missoula! I end up here every morning for some tea, toast and fresh Montana morning air!! Amazing service and staff!! Highly recommended when in Missoula!!

No wifi for locals. Yes, I understand at the old location- but here you have the out of towners using Wren wifi anyways. And I did try throwing Wren $5 to use their wifi but of course they couldn't lend me a password. You are another local business sticking it to the locals as the town grows. Wake up Black Coffee- we kept you in business up until now.

I can see why the line was out of the door and well worth the wait (I usually won’t wait in line & go to a different place). Conveniently located across from our hotel, the AC Missoula (in town for a wedding). The prosciutto toast on organic grist bread is a heavenly combination. Their matcha latte was perfectly balanced. Also - just wondering what the latte art was meant to be ?. Coming back tomorrow for breakfast before we leave town. Great place - don’t miss!
