8 Billings Coffee Shops You’ll Want to Try on National Coffee Day

Today is National Coffee Day, and I don't know about you, but I'm the kind of person who never needs an excuse to celebrate coffee.

Hot, iced, black, with cream and sugar, first thing in the morning or way too late at night before bed, there's a very good chance you'll find me with a cup in my hand. One of my favorite things about living in Billings is knowing that wherever I am, a good coffee stop is not too far away.

To put this list together, I used Yelp customer feedback, but this is not a ranking. Coffee is personal. Your perfect cup might be a simple drip coffee, or it might be a blended drink with whipped cream on top. I love them all, and I’m cheering for every one of them.

Black Dog Coffee House Has Multiple Billings Locations

Black Dog Coffee House is one of those places that comes up again and again when people start talking about coffee in Billings. Yelp reviewers keep praising the drinks and baked goods, along with the friendly service and atmosphere.

You can visit the original location on 24th Street West, stop by Black Dog at Roots on Poly Drive, or head to the 10th Avenue North shop. Any of them is an easy choice when you want to sit down with a coffee and take a minute for yourself.

Big Sky Coffee Roasters Is a Fast Local Stop on Grand Avenue

Big Sky Coffee Roasters on Grand Avenue is a solid local stop when you need a great cup without making coffee a whole event.

Yelp reviewers praise the consistent drinks and quick service, and they also mention the friendly staff and prices. Sometimes you need a fancy coffee date. Sometimes you need caffeine immediately before the day gets away from you. Big Sky fits that second mood beautifully.

Maple Moose Has Coffee, Dirty Sodas, and Plenty of Options

If your coffee order changes depending on the day, Maple Moose Coffee and Pop Shop is worth a stop.

Yelp reviewers highlight the iced lattes and friendly service, and the cozy seating makes it easy to stay awhile. The menu goes well beyond coffee, with tea and dirty sodas, too. It is a great place to meet a friend or bring the kids, and it makes a coffee run feel a little more like a treat.

My personal favorite is a hot Maple Moose. My husband, who isn't a coffee drinker, loves the Brooklesby. Our son loves anything with matcha or cotton candy in it.

Poly’s Place Coffee Has a Retro Feel and Drive-Thru

Poly’s Place Coffee on Poly Drive has developed a loyal following. Yelp reviewers regularly mention the friendly service and quick drive-thru, and they like the roomy seating and gluten-free choices, too.

It has a retro feel that makes it more memorable than your average grab-and-go stop. If you want a place to meet up or get some work done without being rushed, Poly’s Place is a comfortable choice.

Rock Creek Coffee Roasters Serves Downtown Billings

Downtown coffee lovers should keep Rock Creek Coffee Roasters at the top of their list. Located at 124 North Broadway, the shop roasts small-batch beans and serves coffee right downtown.

It is the ideal spot to slow down and catch up with a friend, and you can take freshly roasted local beans home for your own setup. Reviewers frequently note the welcoming staff and the care that goes into every roast.

Classy N’ Sassy Coffee has locations throughout Billings, along with Lockwood and Laurel, which makes it a staple when you need a quick, quality drive-thru pick me up.

Mazevo Coffee Makes Coffee and Breakfast Easy

Mazevo Coffee has multiple Billings locations, which is handy for those of us whose coffee habit doesn't take a day off.

Mountain Mudd Espresso Is Part of Billings Coffee Culture

Mountain Mudd Espresso has been part of the Billings coffee scene for years, and its many local kiosks make it easy to find when a coffee craving hits.

There's something very Billings about pulling up to a coffee hut and driving away with exactly what you need. Coffee fans appreciate the convenient locations, friendly service, and broad menu of espresso drinks and blended favorites.
