Morning Glory Coffee & Tea

White chocolate huckleberry coffee in a West Yellowstone roaster that smells of fresh-roasted beans the moment you open the door. Morning Glory Coffee & Tea on Dunraven St roasts its own beans and supplies many of the local cafes and restaurants in town, which means the bag you take home is also what you taste in other West Yellowstone businesses. Republic of Tea fills out the tea wall. Muffins and scones come out fresh. House chocolate truffles sit in a case, including a dark chocolate with cranberry mousse that customers single out by name.

The shop is described as cute and small-town, the kind of stop you make once on a Yellowstone trip and remember by the smell. The tea-and-truffle case alongside the coffee bar makes for a more layered visit than a one-product cafe. Espresso and cappuccino are on the menu. The chai gets called out as a separate pick. White chocolate huckleberry whole bean is the Montana-flavored take-home bag for travelers who want to keep tasting the trip after they leave.

The honest flag is the hours. Multiple customer accounts across years report finding the doors locked midday or showing up to a closed shop during what should be open hours. Travelers should verify hours before driving over, especially in the shoulder seasons when small West Yellowstone businesses can be erratic. There is also no Wi-Fi, which rules out laptop sessions.

This is dog-friendly, which one customer confirms, and that is meaningful for visitors traveling through the park with a pet in the car. The combination of on-site roasting, the chocolate-truffle case, the wholesale-to-town relationship, and the Montana-flavored coffee bag adds up to a stop worth making for the right kind of traveler. For laptop workers and anyone needing predictable hours and Wi-Fi, this is not where to plan a working morning. For Yellowstone visitors looking for a Montana-made bag to bring home plus a real coffee on the way out of town, the door is open when it is open.
