Editor’s Note: Since the publication of this article, Legacy Coffee Roasters has permanently closed.

From bars and breweries to trendy restaurants, it’s safe to say that Billings has enjoyed an influx of exciting new businesses in recent years. And while Montana’s largest city has never really been known for its modern coffee shops, one roasting company decided to change that a few years ago. Not only are the drinks at Legacy Coffee Roasters delicious, but in 2018 the cafe’s original location was named the most beautiful coffee shop in the state by Architectural Digest. Although Legacy Coffee Roasters has since changed locations, its new home is similarly aesthetically pleasing, and it remains one of the most beautiful coffee shops in Montana.

What are the best Montana coffee shops?

A great coffee shop has to have ambiance as well as expertly crafted caffeinated beverages. The best, like Legacy Coffee Roasters in Montana, often roast their own beans. But more importantly, a great coffee shop makes you feel welcomed and creates a kind of caffeinated oasis, where getting your daily coffee becomes a full experience rather than just a quick perfunctory stop. At Rising Trout Cafe & Bookstore in the small city of Lewistown, you’ll find books and artwork to enjoy along with your latte. The Coffee Pot Bakery & Cafe in Bozeman is like something out of a Hallmark movie, with its charming cabin-like interior and delicious slices of pie alongside locally roasted coffee, plus pottery made on-site. In the heart of Bozeman’s historic downtown you’ll also find Wild Joe’s Coffee Spot, known for its high-quality espresso beverages and old school beatnik coffee house style.
