River Rising

As a native Montanan living in Hamilton, I love this little gathering place! They have amazing sandwiches, soups, and I especially love their baked goods! It can busy at times and the staff at times can seem overwhelmed. Patience and good humor from us for the hard working staff.

Was recommended this place when I moved here and now I’m here at least once a week. Great coffee and breakfast stuff, and Emily is so great!

** Not sure what has happened since this review -a month ago- but it seems like the management is on self destruct mode, hopefully this place can get back on track but it is currently considerably lacking in several areas. **

Nice little cafe with good pastries, decent coffee and good lunch food. Staff are pleasant and its a great place to catch up with friends. One of the better cafes in Hamilton.

The quiche was delicious and the pesto turkey on a baget was a good choice for lunch on the trail.

i went here nearly everyday in middle school and high school. the mixed cookie (butterscotch, chocolate, white chocolate chips) is the best cookie i have ever had in my life. when they changed ownership (2018?) the lemon tahini salad dressing recipe changed BUT still delicious. fun and POPPIN atmosphere. the coffee isn’t the best but if you get a sweet milky coffee you wont be disappointed. love love love!

I grew up in Hamilton and am back visiting. I'm really enjoying this business as a place to get coffee and maybe a treat, and sit and do some work on my computer. The staff are friendly and the prices are very reasonable. (They also have great gluten free choices too). Only suggestions I have is to add a few more electrical outlets for laptops or phones. (And they have Wifi).

Good coffee, good food, and good service. Lovely little bistro in nice downtown Hamilton location on Main Street.

My first time here and the food is really good. The staff was very helpful with my order so many different types of sandwiches to choose from or you can build your own which I did. I wish I lived in the area so I can visit this establishment more.

I love this place. The food is so delicious and they have many things I can eat which is hard because I can't do gluten. Their wheat free cookies are second to none and their salads are some of my favorite salads ever. Most importantly the staff is so friendly and kind and they make my day when I go in there. I love the atmosphere and there's always friendly faces to see which sometimes sidetracks me because I could easily spend an afternoon in here, lol.

Staff is always warm and friendly, can’t recommend this cafe enough. Much more “real” than big creek down the street
