What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Espresso West is praised for its prompt and friendly service, as well as its delicious and reasonably priced ice cream and coffee options. Many visitors highlight the local huckleberry ice cream as a must-try treat. However, some reviews mention issues with staff attitude and inconsistent drink preparation, with one customer finding a bagel expensive and an iced coffee undrinkable.
"The BEST customer service and some of the most refreshing drinks. A great variety of drinks and the staff always willing to help recommend some choices. Perfect spot for a quick pick-me-up coming to or from the park. Went here AT LEAST once a day our trip!"

"I got a bagel & an iced huckleberry coffee. The bagel was super chewy, tasted more like it had been steamed than toasted, for $9.50 it’s not really what I had hoped for. I know you’re paying “Yellowstone tax” but I’m sure there are better options… McDonald’s would’ve even been better. The coffee was just awful, I ended up throwing it away... Overall it wasn’t a great stop."

"This review is just based on the experience, we didn’t get to try anything. We arrived & tried to order 2 vanilla frappes which are on the menu, the lady told us she couldn’t make frappes or anything blended so i decided to not order anything else, my husband asked if he could order a vanilla ice coffee & she said like a latte, we honestly never tried a latte before so she explained what it was which my husband decided not to order it because he doesn’t like strong coffee. We told her never mind thank you though & she made a face & looked mad because we didn’t order anything. Like you can’t get mad at customers for not wanting anything! What we wanted she couldn’t make. I just didn’t like her attitude at the end. We were very polite so no need for attitude!"
