About

Where can you go in Whitefish that serves excellent coffee, fresh pastries, candles, and other sundries? The answer: Montana Coffee Traders!

Steeped in the essence of Montana's rugged beauty and passion for craft coffee, the cafe has deep roots in the region and a commitment to quality.

In 1981, the husband-and-wife team of RC and Beth Beall brought the art of small-batch coffee roasting to the mountains of Montana. Set in their vintage farmhouse, the modest operation has blossomed into a beloved coffee roastery and cafe.

But there's more than coffee brewing at Montana Coffee Traders. The store offers a wide range of gifts, like candles, to handmade crafts created by local artisans. 

This establishment's history reflects Montana's spirit – a land of rugged individualism and a love for the great outdoors. Montana Coffee Traders embodies these values, sourcing beans from around the world and roasting them in-house to craft exceptional coffee experiences that capture the state's wild beauty.

Vibe

The vibe at Montana Coffee Traders is a delightful blend of cozy and communal. As you enter, you'll be enveloped in a warm and inviting atmosphere, with vast open space, exposed brick walls, and the soothing hum of conversation.

The cafe buzzes with the energy of locals and tourists seeking a taste of Montana's best brew. There's a palpable sense of community here, where strangers strike up conversations over a shared love for coffee and a deep appreciation for the Montana way of life.

Montana Coffee Traders: Menu & Drinks

If you're looking for an invigorating early morning pick-me-up or fuel to keep you going through the afternoon, you'll find what you're looking for at Montana Coffee Roasters. The lengthy menu includes light bites and many different hot and cold brews.

The cafe offers a variety of cappuccinos and latte options, but it's their specialty in drip coffees that sets them apart. 

With a constantly shifting list of single-origin brews from places across the Americas and Africa, you're bound to find some new, complex flavors to delight your caffeine-addicted taste buds.

You're in luck if you're looking for something cold to drink! Montana Coffee Traders also offers an extensive list of blended drinks. The Chocolate Banana Buzz is their signature drink and a fan favorite. It features oat milk blended chocolate frappe with cold brew, banana, and a dash of cinnamon.

When your belly is growling, they have plenty of baked goods and even quiches! 

However, you'll almost certainly want to try their bocadillos—toasted breakfast wraps served with tortilla chips. This meal is one of their best, featuring bacon, scrambled eggs, roasted red potatoes, cheddar, and mozzarella cheese!
