I am not a local however I have been visiting West Yellowstone 2-4 times per year for over 40 years. I remember when the owners opened their little shop near the entrance to the park. They are committed to not just their business but also to their community! And, I admire this! Unfortunately, I don't necessarily need their outdoor products but I do like to stop by for coffee! read more

I stumbled in here yesterday after biking through cold wind and rain on my bike trip through Yellowstone. I was not doing well and I knew coffee would save me! This coffee shop/bike shop was a cozy oasis after my adventure and they had so many great coffee options. I got a maple cinnamon latte with oat milk that was exactly what I needed. I will admit that the flavor was extremely subtle, but it was still warm and caffeinated. I also got a cinnamon scone that paired very well with my coffee. If you're visiting the area and need a little pick me up or some bike supplies, this is your place. read more

Absolutely outstanding and stellar service!! Melissa is so helpfully, knowledgeable and kind!! For the first time ever my friends and I went cross country skiing Melissa not only answered our questions, she gave us pointers and put us with the best ski instructor we could have asked for! Thor was incredible! We had a blast!! He got us up on the skis and kept us up! Needless to say my friend and I are so hooked! We are actually thinking about investing in so skis, Melissa said she would honor or a discount if we bring back the repot at a later date, we were so blown away. We kept the skis all day and had the greatest one of our lives! Thank you so much, Melissa and Thor for your kindness and professionalism. The was the best winter day we have ever had! read more

Cannot visit West without stopping in for a chat and a mocha. Love this place and the friendly folks there

I stopped here to return my bear spray (very common to rent in Montana especially if you do any hiking). I had no idea that Freeheel and Wheel was an entire shop full of bike gear, athletic gear, socks and even a cute little coffee house. Epic! I wasn't in the market to buy anything but for someone who is seeking apparel or coffee - I'd recommend stopping here. The interior is super clean and there are helpful staff on-site. Note: bear spray return is outside in a safe drop box so if you are visiting after hours, you can still return it. read more

Earlier this week, my nine-year-old grandson, Beau, shared, "Having Melissa wax my skis made me feel comfortable when I was racing, especially in the Spam Cup. I like Melissas--she is so cheerful! Oh! And Dan--I like Dan too; he puts fast wax on my skis! Actually, everyone at Freeheel is helpful!" Correspondingly, I believe exceptional staff behavior reflects the leadership provided by the highest-ranking executive(s) delivering essential and effective direction. Melissa, the Chief Executive Officer, founder, and co-owner of Free Heel and Wheel, sets the standard for business excellence! I'm getting ready to ride my vintage 850 Trex, which had been in storage for 14 years! Preparing for this season reminded me of my visit to Free Heel and Wheel last fall to schedule bike repairs. Although they were busy, Melissa told me without hesitation to drop off the bike whenever it was convenient for me. From the moment I entered the bike shop, Melissa made me feel welcome and valued. The repairs were extensive, especially synchronizing the shifting! Melissa's promptness and follow-up were incredibly helpful throughout the process. My bike repairs were completed in just over a single business day! It now has new tires, smooth shifting transitions, and reliable brakes. Worn parts have been replaced with high-quality components, and the bike is clean. Genuinely, its overall performance feels like new! Plus, the cost was remarkably reasonable! Melissa's enthusiasm and dedication to ensure a positive customer experience were commendable. She has an extraordinary ability to connect with customers and consistently invested the extra effort to ensure I was pleased with the repairs. Additionally, it's refreshing to see the entire staff's willingness to provide responsive and reliable service. The extraordinary dedication of the leadership and staff may be why Free Heel and Wheel has such an excellent reputation. Thank you once again, Melissa and Free Heel and Wheel! Stan H. P.S. As well as being a premier bicycle and Nordic ski shop, Free Heel and Wheel also carries top-quality gear, apparel, and delicious refreshments! Plus, its proximity to the landscape in and around Yellowstone National Park and much more make it an ideal location--it's literally right there! :) read more

Super friendly. Cool shop that does snow and biking rentals and sales plus a sweet coffee bar!! read more

Freeheel and Wheel - The shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - West Yellowstone, Montana

Truly a legitimate latte in the midst of tourist land! I had had enough of the terrible coffee inside the park and this was strong and delicious! They have a curbside window for quick coffee to-go. read more

Get your coffee here! I just wish there was a bigger shop so I could look at more ways to spend money. Although I'm probably a one purchase per year type a guy. I will buy a coffee or a brownie everytime I'm in town. read more

Super helpful staff and friendly too! They have everything you need to enjoy Yellowstone and the surrounding area.

I loved visiting this cute little shop! I was visiting town for a week and I finally found a coffee shop that I loved! The service was amazing and the staff is friendly and polite. The day I come back into town, I will definitely remember this place! read more

Freeheel and Wheel - the front of a restaurant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - West Yellowstone, Montana

Great bikes, and amazing service! My friend and I had grand plans of seeing Yellowstone National Park over Veterans Day weekend. What we failed to realize is that most of the park is closed to cars at that time as they prepare for the transition to winter and oversnow vehicles etc. When we saw this traffic hiccup on our map we quickly made alternate plans of seeing the northern part of the park on the first day and then called around looking for bike rentals for the next day. I was so fortunate to find Freeheel and Wheel on my second call (most businesses in West Yellowstone close for about a month before ski/winter season)! I put in a reservation for two bikes the next day and then was able to breathe easy knowing we had a new plan of attack! The owner of Freeheel and Wheel was super helpful the next day and even put my own personal saddle that I brought with me on the rental so I'd be comfortable for the 50 mile ride! With a bottle of fresh water already attached to each bike we were off! A truly magical day and such good people! Thanks for making our adventure so great! read more

Freeheel and Wheel - Top notch bike! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - West Yellowstone, Montana

I don't even drink coffee but they make the BEST huckleberry latte I've ever had. I go everyday when I'm in town. The staff is great too. They have a nice selection of stickers and everything a touring bicyclist needs along with other supplies, gear and souvenirs. Please stop in if you're in town or passing through! On the left before the west gate to the park. read more

WOW good idea and it's right before the park entrance to have a bike n coffee shop all in one. The inside is cozy with the coffee counter and a couch first and than the bike shop in the back. $35 dollars for an all day bike rental good deal read more

This is a cute little shop with a great coffee bar! Probably some of the best we have in town. Perfect location to grab some last minute outdoors stuff and a good cup of coffee on the way into the park read more

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this shop and the ladies who run it. We were visiting W. Yellowstone and, as cyclists, wanted to rent road bikes to get some exercise. Renting a road bike was simple - a quick call and a credit card. Upon showing up the morning of our rental, the staff were quick to assist us, gracious in lending us helmets and a water bottle (so we had two each), and simply gracious. Soon enough, we were on our way on well-maintained bikes. While the day was cold, we had a great ride without any issue on our bikes. Returning, we had a hot drink (delicious!), a rest on the couch and were off for the remainder of the day. If you are in W. Yellowstone, please consider visiting this business for any bike, ski, coffee or outdoor apparel needs. You won't be disappointed! read more

Cappucino drinkers: their default for cappucino is wet like a latte. If u want dry or even kinda dry be sure to tell them when you order; they don't ask how you want it. Just a heads-up! read more

They have been good to our family for over a decade. We often converge on the Yellowstone area with family from all over the country with a variety of biking skills and gear. Freeheel and Wheal has straighten wheels, replaced tires, serviced brakes, tuned shifters/derailures, serviced our XC skis and rented us bike trailers when we were flush with toddlers. I appreciate their work and costuner service/communication. From our $50 junker to the $4k carbon bikes they always treat us the same. Keep in mind this is a small shop and can be be in very high demand depending on the season and the day of the week. We love them and will always come back. read more

We were in town at the KOA and were looking for the best coffee spot in town. Found this place and it did not disappoint! Delicious Americano. Lovely people inside and cool little shop! read more

We stopped in and grabbed two coffees and a hot chocolate for my daughter and they were super yummy! We also got a brownie and a cookie which were really good as well, but the best part of our experience were the girls working there who gave us helpful information about things we could do and what was open or closed. We ended up renting snow shoes as well and the girls were super helpful in guiding us where to go. Definitely stop in for a coffee while you're in town. It was nice having some local friendly faces to give us insight on an area we had no clue about. read more

The beans are toasted locally! The latte was the best we tried since we started our trip from Park city via Teton village to Yellowstone. The staff are wearing masks and are very cordial. Can't recommend enough. read more

Truly, do yourself a favor & do not miss this locally owned, locally staffed establishment. It not only has all your seasonal biking & skiing needs, it has beautiful one-of-a-kind locally made jewelery & art. Super cute Patagonia woman/men fashion wear is available, but I fell for their humorist self made t-shirts. I didn't take advantage of their batista bar, but it smelled like heaven. read more

Great service, wonderful clothing lines if you do t want things with Yellowstone in it. It also has a great coffee bar!!

Bad service - avoid if possible! Listen I get it... they're the only game in town for bike rentals this time of year, so you may have no choice but to give them your business. But if you can help it, any alternative is better. They're just not nice folks. It's unfortunate that this place knows they have a good hold on the market and therefore has abandoned any semblance of customer service because it's inconsequential to them. Not the way to run a business! Me and my small crew showed up one morning asking about rentals.... we aren't rude or pushy people. We were in the area, deciding what to do for the day and figured we'd stop by and inquire. It was hard enough to get someone to acknowledge us and when they did, the woman out front wouldn't even look at us as she spoke. She said no rentals for the rest of the day and then turned her back to us. We called later in the day asking if it's possible to make reservations ahead of time... they said no. So what do we do? Next morning we show up right at their posted opening time, thinking we can perhaps jump in line for bikes. But it was the same story - rude woman at the front that isn't helpful or pleasant to interact with and no bikes available even though they just opened and told us over the phone the day before we can't make reservations. I get it.... they're busy and getting lots of traffic. I can't knock that. If you don't have bikes available, you don't have bikes available. But perhaps if they were helpful, polite and pleasant people we would keep them in mind for next time we are visiting Yellowstone. But this was not the case, so they will not get our business in the future. read more

ADV Rider. :{) My eldest son and i were passing by(on foot) and caught a slight breeze that carried with it the delicious aroma of coffee. He and i caught it about the same time, turning to one another we both laughed "that's good coffee" and we looked around to see where it was coming from. On a whim we looked inside the bike shop and sure enough! We were immediately greeted by a really nice young lady behind the counter and we placed our order. We both had large-hot-coffee's, thanked them and left. WOW, that was great coffee! He and i liked it so much that we returned three more times that week while we stayed in the area haha!! :{) read more

What a great store! We stayed in West Yellowstone in late 2021 and the staff at Freeheel and Wheel were a great help setting us up with rental skis and guiding us to a really great ski instructor. They even lent us bear spray when we said we were planning to go hiking. read more

I love this place! You have to try their White Chocolate Freeze made with cold brew. Very nice people here. You can rent bikes, get coffee and they know so much about Yellowstone. I was here for a week and tried different places in town but this was my favorite. read more

The employees at Freeheel and Wheel were rude to multiple touring cyclists in my group.

Rented two bikes from Freeheel & Wheel. Had some mechanical issues on the trail. Not only did Dan ride out to fix the bike, he comped the bike, which was unnecessary but earned more business from us in terms of apparel purchases. read more

The people at Freeheel and Wheel were very friendly and helpful to us as we rented our XC skis and got a new binding attached to one of our skis. They also have great Hot Chocolate and coffee while you wait! read more

After striking out in Bozeman & Billings, my wife found all three mountain biking items she had been looking for right here in this little West Yellowstone store! They also gave us directions to a fantastic single track ride a few miles from town, which we now call one of our favorites. Highly recommended! read more

For our tour through Yellowstone National Park, we rented a Gaperguide at Freeheel and Wheel. As advertised, it was "simple and inexpensive." We simply plugged it into our cigarette lighter, and as soon as we entered the park, our "tour" began. It contained the perfect amount of information with the option of more "fun facts." We especially appreciated the recommendations for places to pull off the road and sights to see. We liked the Gaperguide so much, that we kept it for a second day. The staff at Freeheel and Wheel were very friendly and helpful. read more

We went to rent some skis and the people there were amazing and very nice. While you wait they have a small cafe to sit down have a snack or coffee. read more

I love this store. They are so knowledgeable and helpful. I love their inventory and their coffee! They also contribute a lot to the community to help in many ways. read more

Great place - The woman fixed my bike tire while I shopped for jewelry and bought a coffee! so many fun things in one store.

Awesome place. Not clear what it is : ski rental, mountain gear shop or coffee house ? But they deserve 5 stars for the three categories. Very nice and friendly staff, comfy couch and cheap prices. Take 5 minutes to stop here before entering into the park. If you want to cross country ski, it is definitely the place to go for advices. read more

This is an outstanding little spot -- densely packed with awesomeness. It's the hub of XC ski culture in West Yellowstone. But more than having everything you need for Nordic skiing (sell, rent, fix, wax, lessons), this gem is just packed with stylish clothes, especially for the ladies. And an espresso bar, with baked goodies. I have to disagree, too, with the prior review. I was in West that same week and found the skiing to be good. There was not a ton of snow, but with XC skiing, you don't need it. You only need a good surface. True, there were spots where the tops of individual whispy little yellow blades of grass were poking up, but that did not undermine the quality of the skiing. And, yes, there was one steep hill where the groomer turned up a bit of underlying bark. But the vast majority of the many miles of groomed trails were perfectly good for skating. True, no classic tracks could be set in the Rendezvous "proper" trails during the early part of that week, but the grooming report said 20km of classic had been set on the South Plateau, which is accessed right from the entry Rendezvous trail ("In and Out"). I think the prior reviewer should have asked if classic tracks had been set, if that was necessary for his group to have a good time. I'm not sure how he missed the classic tracks on the South Plateau (snow-covered) Road. Several days after he was there (and before it snowed), I skied classic w/o tracks, and it was good -- not icy, not hard, plenty of kick. Anyway, great local spot. I sometimes stop by even when I don't need ski stuff just to see about a cute apparel gift for my GF. read more
