When in Missoula, you will not have to search too long for your perfect cafe. Around every corner it seems there is another world-class coffee or tea shop serving up pastries, coffee and tea beverages, soups and sandwiches, cold brews and more. Many of the coffee shops also sell other products like jams and honeys as well as whole bean coffees and loose-leaf teas to take home. Most coffee shops in Missoula are BYOM (bring your own mug), which means less waste, which is great for everyone!
