I called them on June 13th to ask if they had vegan milk such as oat milk. The employee confirmed that they did. I asked if they had vegan meal options for breakfast and was told that they didn't. Okay, that's given and quite expected. My then friend (now ex-friend) drove from a hostel in Idaho as we going to start our day exploring Yellowstone. I was set on getting a hot matcha latte with oat milk (something that I frequently get). The cafe was located in the back of the bookstore. They have a few tables and chairs back there. I ordered a medium drink and got a water for the day. The water was mountain spring water which is really cool. The latte was smooth, not gritty, but definitely frothy. It had a slight vanilla flavor to it, but not overpowering the matcha. It hit the spot and gave me energy to complete the day. It was tasty for sure. I ended up returning the following day to get another matcha latte. They got some pretty cool books in the peddler shop and a few souvenirs. The price was fairly cheap. I was moreso surprised that they had a matcha in Montana. read more

Being a PNW guy, two of the things I try to find are good bookstores and coffee places. This is both. They have a great selection of books, especially on Yellowstone and the west. Also a god selection of puzzles, games and gifts. And the coffee is good with a nice space to hang out. Excellent spot. Check it out! read more

We had the best latte in Book Peddler. On the Sunday morning, before heading into Yellowstone National Park, we stopped by the grab pur coffee and chai. Was not crowded and they were quick in getting the drinks done. I had a honey latte. It was so good. The espresso was nutty and smoky. Love it. Please stop by if you are stopping by West Yellowstone. read more

Always excellent. Staff always friendly. My favorite spot in town. Sandwiches are excellent but too pricey, cut the price down by a third....and I will come even more often. Baked goods..wonderful. Soup is good when available. read more

Come here if you want to spend $10 on a medium coffee that taste mediocre at best and want some robot with a bad attitude service. My wife and I stopped by because she wanted a coffee. We were nicely greeted by a very friendly blonde lady and said "she'll (the brunette lady with glasses) be able to help you out". So we scooched over to her and she didn't say anything, no smile, no "Hi", nothing. We ordered a medium coffee with a splash of oat milk (which we were charged $3) and vanilla which was another dollar. WILD. Coffee in LA isn't even that much. I asked to use the restroom and she said "I'll give you the code In a second..." she waited till our transaction was approved and then provided the restroom code. What did she think we were gonna do? Steal the toilet? THEN she asked my wife if she wanted to leave a tip after that wonderful coffee shop customer service she provided. Price gouge and up-charge all you want, at least provide welcoming service- its free and zero overhead cost. Also, $34 for a bear card game? WTHelly?? read more

This place is as cute as it gets! The menu is great and the shopping is so nice! The staff is friendly and very helpful. I loved watching them bring out the fresh cinnamon rolls The breakfast sandwich's are nicely portioned and the food service is super timely. Definitely a must when stopping into town! I ordered the London fog latte with oat milk, so delicious. Drinks were made super fast. I'll definitely be popping in again! read more

What a fun place! I stopped in The Book Peddler very briefly on my family's way back from Yellowstone National Park. I loved that this was part bookstore, part gift shop, and part coffee shop (a minimal coffee menu, but it still counts!). West Yellowstone is a pretty touristy area (at least to this tourist) but I felt immense vibes of authenticity coming from The Book Peddler. They had a pretty cool local Montana section stacked with great geographically centric books and guides that would surely make any nature enthusiast ecstatic. I ordered myself a drip coffee and soaked in exploring all their fun trinkets, Montana-made gifts, and mountainous decor. They had a small food menu as well, though I didn't order anything from it. One of the associates was super chatty and told me about their Yellowstone specific cookbooks, guides, and other travel books. I really loved the vibes here and would recommend this charming and cozy bookshop to anyone. read more

Best Breakfast Burritos in town! The coffee is good. The pastries are fantastic! My wife and daughter loved the store. I just sat in the coffee bar area and stuffed my face. We were there Memorial Day week. read more

The store staff refused to allow me to use the restroom, stating it was for paying customers only. I promised that I would be purchasing a book, as I had finished mine the previous evening. I had been looking at books and checking Goodreads to find a good one. I had it narrowed down to a few but needed more time. I wasn't allowed to use their restroom while I made up my mind. I had to walk 2-3 blocks to the visitor's center and use that restroom and then come back to finish shopping. I did return and purchased a book, as I said I would. There were no other stores selling books or I wouldn't have returned. Ridiculous! Whatever happened to basic human decency? read more

They make a decent cappuccino here. Nothing mindblowing... but decent nonetheless.

West Yellowstone is a weird place. Especially in the off season. There were only 2 or 3 breakfast options so we picked this one. And it was very meh. They were out of half the things on the menu (at 7am) and so we ordered two lattes and a $9 granola. She gave us a granola that literally filled 2 inches of the 7 inch tall to go cup. Maybe 6 bites of food. We went back and did a "seriously?" And they grudgingly gave us more. But they were if course out of the milk. The coffees were decent but super weird experience. read more

I stopped by here for some food before heading to YNP. I had the ham and cheese croissant which was so flaky with a slight crunch and the pastry actually had some seasoning which I appreciate. I got a sandwich here, Loaded Lite Shotgun which has egg with pesto, bacon, turkey and provolone. Since I stopped by in the morning it was slightly soggy. I can only imagine how it tasted fresh. Pet peeve about this place (COVID-19 related) was why make masks necessary for customers and employees don't wear their masks properly?? Why must customers protect them and they can't protect their customers? Really, just wear your masks properly!! read more

If you're looking for the cutest coffee stop & store, this is it! They had good pastries and really good coffee. They were out of cold brew but quick to make other suggestions of what I might enjoy! I had the mocha peppermint iced coffee and it was delicious. The store was fun to shop around after eating! It was busy but the employees working were super kind, working hard and quick to apologize for the wait. We would come back in a heartbeat! read more

The place was cute!!! You would feel like you were in library at the same time having a coffee and a good reading!

If I could separate the bookstore part of this business from the café part, the bookstore would get 5 stars and the café would get around 3. Bookstore: Great little place for books, gifts, souvenirs, etc. Surprisingly good selection for such a small town. If you're visiting the town and want to pick up a Montana-themed cookbook or something, they've got you. Café: This is where I'm a little bit split. The pastries and coffee are superb; in fact, if you're going here for coffee alone it's probably one of the top three spots in town. The sandwiches, though...VERY pricey and nothing special from what I've experienced. Everything has a very distinct "I could've made this better at home" look + taste. The bagels are the worst offenders. I'm pretty sure they're the Sara Lee brand you can get at the grocery store down the street--they have the same spongy texture, plus Sara Lee is the only other everything bagel I know of where they put whole sunflower seeds *inside* the bread. Blegh. I've heard that the breakfast burritos are pretty good, but I haven't tried them yet. My recommendation: Go somewhere else for grains/protein, then stop here for a huge chocolate croissant and a nice coffee or tea. read more

This store had a few really awesome cards and postcards by an artist (pictured), and a small bookstore with a very limited selection. The rest of the place had pretty tacky souvenir and home items. The little cafe which was attached was closing while we were there, I think. Didn't take a look. read more

The Book Peddler - Letterpress card and postcard. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - West Yellowstone, Montana

= L O C A T I O N = They are located in a prime spot on Canyon St. The store is a cute combination of Bookstore, knick-knack shop, and café. It is easy to make a stop over here on your way to the Yellowstone entrance. = S E R V I C E = I am grateful that they are one of the few places open at 7 AM during the winter season. However, the service was inconsistent. The first time I went there, I had a very cold reception. Both people at the counter were unfriendly and maskless. The second time I went back, I had a much better experience with the two -different- employees there (who also wore masks). = F O O D // D R I N K = + BLAZ'N SADDLE ($9.95): I bought this sandwich with the intention of eating it in the middle of my snowmobile tour. It consists of turkey, ham, salami, provolone, jalapeno ranch, and pepperoncini. For what it was, it was quite expensive! But, it held up well during the tour and tasted alright, so I didn't mind. // (3/5) + DIRTY CHAI (M $4.45): Great beverage! It was a welcome change to the coffee sludge that was complimentary at the hotel. // (4/5) ======================================= Food: 3 // Service: 2 // Environment: 4 // Price: 2 read more

In my experience, I find that frequently businesses with multiple points of focus (ie: in the case of The Book Peddler--books and coffee), oftentimes one aspect is lacking. Not so at The Book Peddler. The bookshop? Amazing, eclectic, varied, and wonderful. The coffee shop? Charming, delicious, rich, and decadent. The bookshop has everything you'd want in an independent bookseller. The usual variety of quirky, popular, and classical literature as well as a sprinkling of intensely local (hello Yellowstone!) themed collections. At the coffee shop, I ordered a salted caramel mocha and a triple berry cream cheese croissant. Oh heck yes. The croissant was made with what tasted to be incredibly fresh berries. Their goods are baked daily (they sell day old pastries for a discount) and are all made-from-scratch-deliciousness. My dining companion raved about his cinnamon roll that had the loveliest hint of orange zest (I may or may not have begged a bite). They serve a variety of pastries, quiche, and breakfast burritos for breakfast. For lunch they have a variety of sandwiches and salad. The mocha was solid. The espresso was wonderfully rich and the chocolate was decent. They used the salted caramel syrup as opposed to a caramel sauce paired with sea salt. Not my favorite way to make a salted caramel mocha--but decent and by no means bad. The service was a bit clunky. But, our cashier seemed new, so perhaps that was the deal there. Other than that? Awesome. Get to it! read more

Great sandwiches, synthetic smoothies. This place was great for breakfast and togo sandwiches for a day in Yellowstone Park. They're made with fresh, quality ingredients and their spreads are delicious. Their "Fruit" Smoothies, on the other hand, are entirely synthetic. The restaurant uses fruit flavored syrups over ice instead of real fruit. read more

Got breakfast sandwiches from here a couple days ago. Service was unfriendly. We get your busy and maybe you we're having a bad day, but service should still be friendly. Breakfast sandwiches were too much bread and not enough egg. Also, the sausage should be labeled as a maple sausage because it is aggressively maple flavored. Outstanding lattes though. read more

Visiting from out of town. Came to this place in hopes of using their WiFi. I got their brownie and the Oink burrito. The brownie was good, it had nuts on top. But a bit on the dry side. I probably won't get it again. The Oink burrito was good and very filling. I couldn't finish the whole thing. It came with salsa which added a nice flavor. As for the WiFi, I was really disappointed with how slow it was. I was sitting inside and didn't even get full bars. You do have to ask the barista for their password. I couldn't get done what I had planned, so I actually walked around the corner to Mountain Mama's Coffee House and Bakery and used their WiFi. It was excellent. 2 min walk away read more

Cute bookstore with a lot of options. They also have a coffee shop with food. I've only had the soup, which was some kind of taco soup, more like chili. It was fantastic. The coffee is also good but not my go to in town. They have a lot of knickknacks and stuff so definitely need to check it out. read more

Stopped by the place around 6:45am on a weekday for a carry out order. I informed the cashier that I had 5 breakfast sandwiches that I wanted to order. She ROLLED HER EYES at me and walked away. I can't even make this up. Thankfully another employee came right over and took my order. The breakfast sandwiches were subpar and way over priced at $9. Breakfast burritos are excellent. Coffee is just fine. I will not go back due to customer service. read more

This is the best breakfast in West Yellowstone. The biscuits are the size of your hand and are moist, buttery, and delicious. I got them with the sausage gravy and nan, it was delicious!

I'm from LA- we have the highest coffee expectations. This place was the closest to reaching that quality. Seriously the ONLY place you should get a latte in town. I wish I knew about this place on my first day- and not my third. The ladies who work here are sweet and they have lots of latte flavors and AMAZING CINNAMON BUNS. please go here if you love good lattes!! read more

Quick stop on our way out of town. Trying to find coffee early in the morning was difficult. Saw the espresso sign and walked right in. Front of the store is so cute with a ton of different gifts and trinkets. I wish we had more time to look. Walked to the back espresso bar. Ordered a skinny latte and once I tasted this delicious concoction, I knew it was literally one of the best coffees I've ever had. Local coffee straight out of Montana. Staff was super prompt and friendly. The only thing I'm regretting is not buying a bag of these beans. If you're in the area, you should definitely stop in. read more

Good coffee! Super cute bookstore with all sorts of cute Knick knacks. Worth a stop in for a beverage while roaming the town

HIGHLY RECCOMMEND!!! Skip the other coffee places with long lines and go here. I am a London Fog snob and this is by far the best one I have had in a long time! I also got two turnovers, a cherry one and a Chocolate one, they are large enough that you could easily share one with someone. My son LOVED his chocolate one and said it was his favorite thing to eat on our trip. The staff are super friendly and the store is very clean. We found a book to take home as a gift for a grandparent that they loved. It was one of the few stores that you didn't see the same thing from the other stores around it. read more

I fell madly in love with this book store 25yrs ago. It was such a disappointment to see it being the hollow self it once was. Shelves were bare, no longer was the handwritten notes of the employees "favorites", or short blurbs of their context. It went from being unique to being a sad. read more
