Amazing coffee and amazing service. The design of the cafe is cozy and cute. Highly recommend

I truly enjoyed the genuine welcome and great service from the man at the counter of this charming, cozy cafe. My coffee order is standard for me, however, when I asked for his advice and recommendation on a breakfast sandwich, he steered me to his favorite burrito. The latte was great; high end melange of rich flavor. Breakfast burrito was substantial and delicious. Great experience, Thanks again! Bill read more

Tru North Cafe is a delicious and charming breakfast spot in Livingston. I came here on Sunday morning and had a great experience from start to finish. They offer specials, a great menu (with hilarious descriptions!), baked goods and coffee. The special of the day was eggs Benedict with breakfast potatoes and they happily removed the meat for me. The Benedict was perfect from the ooze of the egg, the flavor and amount of hollandaise sauce. The potatoes were also perfect and I loved the potion size. Of note, the ketchup did not have high fructose corn syrup which I really appreciated and it tasted so much better! The man working at the front was SO friendly and kind and the chef even came to check on us to see how our meal was. Such amazing service! The ambiance is also 5 stars. It's an adorable spot with cozy seating, lamps on the table and homey decorations. This is a must try in Livingston! read more

We popped in for a chai tea and a pastry. The chai tasted like a cold coffee and when we took it back they assured us it was chai. They doctored it with sugar but it still ended up poured out on the road. The cinnamon rill was not much better it was dry and tasteless. It was very crowded and nice inside with a long wait. Not sure if we hit them on a bad day, if they don't make chai very often or what but we would not recommend. It was a nice atmosphete with nice seating options with a trendy crowd. Fairly quick service for the number of people ordering and waiting. read more

Cute place - the food was good but very pricey (saw the owner's comments about price on another comment as well, which sours my thought of this place). We ordered lattes, which were decent but there's no reason for that cost when using torani coffee syrup and not your own. Staff were friendly and helpful and orders came out quickly. read more

Great food and nice people. I had breakfast during the week and it was packed. Would go there again.

Before heading out to Yellowstone on a chilly October morning, with temperatures dipping into the 30s, I stopped by Tru North Coffee in downtown Livingston for a piping hot cup of comfort. The short, brisk walk there reminded me of everything Texas doesn't have this time of year--crisp air, golden leaves, and that unmistakable feeling of fall. Stepping inside Tru North felt like walking into a warm hug. The cozy space, crackling fireplace, and inviting sofas created the kind of atmosphere where neighbors linger over steaming mugs and easy conversation. It had that genuine small-town charm that makes you want to stay awhile. The barista greeted me with a smile and handed me a large dark roast to go--rich, smooth, and subtly laced with chocolate and allspice. It was the perfect cup to start what turned out to be a perfect Montana morning. read more

Based on the owner's response to my 3-star rating 2 mos ago, am updating to one star. Our experience wasn't great- but it wasn't horrid, hence 3. My explanation was thorough but he is quite the whine-bag, actually just mean, so here's my new rating based on the entire experience. I'm in Livingston right now with friends and was going to give it another go with them...supporting a local business...but as we were heading to park, I opened my Yelp with the intention of giving TruNorth another chance- then saw his crappy response (and trolling)... read more

A Great, no nonsense, breakfast cafe. A short menu that gets to the point with fantastic food of the best quality. Service is pleasant and to the point, the restaurant itself is an eclectic collection of vintage decor that works to make it homey. Order at the counter and grab a table. Signs define their policy and make expectations clear for customers that is sarcastically refreshing and funny. All worth the wait for an excellent meal. Street parking may be tight and require A few laps so be patient! read more

We absolutely loved our stop at Tru North Café! From the moment we walked in, the vibes were immaculate + welcoming. James, the owner, is genuinely warm and kind, and you can feel how much heart and intention went into creating this space. The staff was friendly, the food was delicious + it truly felt like eating a home-cooked meal at a friend's house. Cozy, comforting + thoughtful in all the right ways. The espresso deserves a special shoutout. It was so flavorful that my wife went back for a second cup! We also really appreciated the variety of seating options, which made the space feel accessible and inviting for everyone. This place radiates care, community + good energy. If you're in Livingston, Tru North is an absolute must! read more

The ambiance upon walking in got us first! So cozy! We were greeted by the friendliest staff that pointed out their daily special which we eagerly ordered. The most delicious huckleberry French toast, savory thick cut bacon cooked to the perfect crispness and an egg cooked to order (we chose scrambled). Husband ordered a cafe mocha and it was the best he's had (and he is pretty picky). We oohed and aahed through every bite. We chose a huge cinnamon roll to enjoy later. Overall a 5 star meal and experience. We will definitely be back!! read more

We traveled back in late October to visit Yellowstone national park and stayed in Livingston. I must say our highlight for this trip was tru north cafe.

We can't wait to go back! read more

Breakfast was really good. We both had fried eggs. They were cooked perfectly & we like them cooked differently. The homemade biscuit was divine, they grill it. Home fries were tasty. I really enjoyed the bacon. read more

Love the Ambiance! Feels like you're having breakfast at a friend's house with a little hint of Livingston all around. Looks like most of the art work is local, which I love AND what they can't make they buy local from Bakery's around them! Awesome! Food and coffee was wonderful. Unfortunately I ordered the special, which is my absolute favorite, "the Benny", (Eggs Benedict) but the cook who makes the special wasn't in so they couldn't make it. This was the only thing that kept me from a five star! Two things: Please don't advertise this special on the chalk board if you know the cooks not there and two: please give me my money back for "the Benny" and recharge me for the lox and bagel I ordered in its place. Don't tell me that they are about the same so no worry. So, service was a four, the place is more like a five. Clean and very organized. I may go back for "the Benny" someday-hope my cook is there! read more

One of my favorite breakfast spots during my trip to Livingston, Montana. I had the breakfast burrito which included cheese, hash browns, sausage and egg. It was paired with a tomato pico de gallo and sour cream. The tortilla had a perfect crunch to it which I loved - I don't like when my tortilla is soggy. My friend had eggs benedict and she really liked the hollandaise sauce. The staff were so friendly and helpful. They directed us to go up to the counter to order our food as soon as we walked in and brought our food over as soon as it was ready. The chef even made it a point to come over to our table to ask how we liked our meals. The restaurant was very cozy, clean and beautifully decorated. read more

If love were a cafe, it would be Tru North! My wife and I could not be happier with our experience. The place is super cute, the staff is genuinely happy and welcoming, and the food and drinks are delicious. We had the breakfast sandwich (almost too pretty to eat), chicken burrito, and an almond croissant. All were insanely tasty! Special shout out to James the owner for creating such a special place! read more

What to say first?!?! Just wow!! We happened here by a Romans 8:28 situation. My husband wanted to go a certain place but as it happened that place had relocated. God really worked this one out for our good. The food here is AMAZING! The HuckleberryBaby and The Fluffy Egg Sandwich were delicious and so unique ! A fun atmosphere and the team was over the top fabulous!! Being from the southern part of the US we like to pride ourselves on hospitality but these kind folks could teach a lesson or two on how it's done. read more

We had coffee drinks and a delicious breakfast. Service was awesome too. I highly recommend this place!

Great food, service, and ambience. Unique spot for breakfast. Meatloaf sandwich was delicious.

How does one NOT love this place? Now I'll admit, I always prefer a mom'n'pop, non-chain, non-franchise, non-fast food restaurant over the corporate factory food that's become so common nowadays. So going in, Tru North had an edge in my opinion. And I was NOT disappointed! My fellow diners appreciated that Tru North has several Gluten Free options. Myself, I'm on a "Bring on the gluten" diet, so I had a "Southwest" burrito that was fantastic. The only thing negative I could say about it was it was more than I could finish; it was that big. The place is spotless, the service is to a very high standard, and they had a guy doing chair massages the day we went, so what's NOT to like. Clearly this would be on my frequent rotation if I lived in Livingston (I wish!!!!) Highly Recommended. read more

If I could relocate this cafe to my town, I'd be camped out in it all day. Tru North is a relaxed, no pretense kind of place with a warm, inviting atmosphere encouraging people to take time to enjoy conversation with friends, the coffee, and, from what I could glean from other customers, the good food. Although I did not try any food, I can attest to the excellent coffee. It is outstanding, and with my affinity for coffee shops, that I would say that surprises even me. This was a perfectly blended latte, just the right temperature and made me sad that I couldn't stay longer for another cup. The biggest drawback that I could tell, might be the shortage of seating during prime hours. That Tru North has that issue says something about how the locals view it, and during my short visit, the line of locals who pre-ordered and patiently waited was impressive. read more

If I could give Tru North 6 stars I would in a heartbeat. My boyfriend and I were looking for somewhere to grab a bite to eat and this was the perfect little cafe. Upon entry we heard Blue Velvet blaring on the radio, later we found out that a specialty drink called the blue velvet was ordered and upon ordering the song Blue Velvet had to be played. They have a drink titled purple rain which also has the same treatment. The owner was everything and more, they greeted us, took the time to explain, gave recommendations, and cracked the best jokes. My boyfriend got the meatloaf sandwich and said the meat was very juicy and made the simplicity of the other ingredients not matter, the meat was that good. I had the signature cloud coffee? It was delicious! The apple turnover pastry had the perfect balance between sweetness and cinnamon bites. The inside is excellent as well! Very on theme to Montana, but a unique cafe which should be visited if you get the chance. I will be back! read more

Are there more than five stars to give? If you are in Livingston, this is a breakfast/brunch/lunch must. In a town full of amazing food options, this was a favorite. Bourbon bacon, what??? The biscuits and gravy were the perfect mix of creamy, peppery sauce and crunchy biscuit. The latte with one lump of caramel was heavenly. My husband asked the owner if they take last meal requests! read more

Amazing ambiance. Super friendly baristas. However, this was a disappointing experience my family will remember for a while. We came for breakfast on a Monday because of the good reviews, knew that there could be a wait due to the cute signage and were completely understanding of the process. After close to 40 minutes of waiting for a take out order, we were only able to get the food after inquiring after the order and once staff checked, they were able to immediately come out with our order. When we opened up the boxes, the food was pretty much cold. The runny centers of the eggs on the avocado were cool and the bread had become soggy -- I think that our order was just sitting in the kitchen while we were spending our last precious hour waiting. The portions were pretty small as well. Truly more of a cafe and less of a proper restaurant. All in all, this cafe smelled awesome, the marketing and menus had us psyched, but the food was bland, cold and did not live up to the hype. I really hope that folks here can do better. We're driving to the airport still hungry. :( read more
