The River Coffee Company

Coffee and their other drinks are absolutely amazing. Such a friendly and spacious space to hang out and relax. I was shocked at how fast the internet was and the really nice barista with the pony tail explained how they don't throttle speeds to guests like some other businesses do.
If you're looking for the only place (other than a bar) in Kalispell that is consistently open late, you won't be disappointed with the River!

The other day a group of friends and I decided to give the River Coffee Company a try for our weekly hang out. Man am I glad we did! I didn't realize this awesome shop existed until I saw their billboard sign pointing the way. When you first roll up to River C C you notice the big sign and the welcoming esthetics of the place. For me it is attached with some nostalgia, because when I was a kid this building housed the local movie cinema. :) As you walk in your realize right away that the place is COMFORTABLE. There are many comfy chairs place all throughout the vast seating area. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. And now to the reason I came in... the coffee. I ordered your standard mocha latte and they nailed it. The coffee was delicious. Among my group we had fraps, non fat iced mocha, tea, and the gambit! All were done quickly and tasted delicious. Or so said my friends. They have a little room that small parties can enter to have some privacy and we really appreciated it! There are many coffee shops in Kalispell but this is by far my favorite. The hours are from 5pm to 11pm, which stinks if you want morning coffee, BUT they are the only gig in town that is open that late. Many in my party celebrated this fact and said they would frequent River Coffee Company often. Thanks to the staff for giving us a fun, comfortable and CLEAN experience with delicious coffee.

Only coffee spot open late so this wee vampire can get her fix. Great staff and good lattes.

I LOVE meeting friends at The River. It is open in the evening. The atmosphere is pleasant. Their staff is great and they make a good cup of coffee.

Amazing spot. It's only open Fridays and Saturdays, but I was so happy to find a good café open until 11pm! The staff were warm and friendly, and the chai tea was marvelous. Lots of seating, very cute spot to meet and chat with friends. Fast wifi. An easy place to relax and unwind... It used to be an old movie theater but was converted. The barista, Janelle, was so, so, so kind to me! Wish I wasn't just visiting town for a short while, otherwise I'd love to come here to chill and do work on my laptop!

Best place in town if you need somewhere to relax. do homework and just chill. This place is perfect for dates perfect for a place to hang with friends. it’s literally perfect. the river and BRCC are the only 5 star coffee shops.

The River Coffee Company is a great place to get work done late with caffeine and free WiFi. I was impressed with their quality espresso that tasted delicious AND that’s roasted locally in Bigfork. They are open Mon-Sat, 5pm-11pm and I'm so excited we actually have a place in Kalispell open later than 2pm. Classy and cozy atmosphere (including a waterfall) that makes it easy to focus!

This is a fantastic place to hang out and grab a coffee. I appreciate the feel of the atmosphere they've created. You can plug in your laptop pretty much anywhere in this coffeeshop because there are outlets and USB charging ports at nearly every seat. I can sit here for hours and hours to read or get work done. And they are open much later. Don't miss this place!

The review by Adam Taylor is ridiculous. I’m a regular customer and watched his outrageous behavior here on multiple occasions. He orders items, consumes them, then complains and demands a refund. He loudly calls his bank on the phone and asks them to do an investigation of the charge. Since I heard his name out loud as he was on the phone, I decided to check him out and found that he has left similar negative reviews for other establishments and threatened them with investigations. He’s trying to be macho, and I think he’s figured out how to get free stuff this way.

The River Coffee Company is extremely professional, and their staff are among the most friendly I’ve ever experienced. They work hard to make things right. It’s my favorite coffee shop in the area, and I come here multiple times a week.

As for his claims about the church that also meets at the building on Sundays (when the coffee shop is closed), I have never ONCE heard the baristas here push religion on anyone or talk about the church. This is a coffee shop that is as legit as Starbucks, City Brew, or Montana Coffee Traders. They were just voted runner up for Best of the Flathead.

I'm not a coffee person but all the non coffee beverages I've had are wonderful. The staff is always friendly and a joy to see. This is not only a great place to grab a drink but also if you want to hangout with friends and play games or even just work or read. Although I think the best part is how late they are open.
