Liquid Planet - Downtown

Sum up: Great coffee. Large variety. Sell a lot of cool items. Limited seating.

Pros: They have a unique selection of coffee flavors and many different types of coffees, teas and drinks. I love their Goddess Frappe. The shop sells a lot of cool drink accessories, snacks, coffee and teas. They sell this really nice and cheap cafe press mug where some of the proceeds go to students at the local college.

Cons: Not much seating. They only have two outdoor tables

They have the nicest staff!! Clean, open, great environment overall. I go here often to study and savor a different tea or coffee every time.😀

First let me start with the staff.
The staff here is amazing. They are the friendliest staff I've come across in a long time. I love that they know my name and know what I want when I come in. The staff isn't the issue.
Liquid Planet has become the Starbucks of Missoula. Why would you ever need so many locations in such a small area. Don't get me wrong I think it's great to expand and build on something but why not perfect what you started one store at a time and then move on to a new location.? I also find the super powerful looking over your shoulder corporate coffee shop feel to be exhausting. Not only on the wonderful staff you have but the customers. There is a rule. 30 feet or 30 seconds. I'm sure there are thousands or retail rules but the employees must have a boss telling them that they need to make sure before that second foot is in the door that the customer needs to be screamed at from across the store with a HELLO HOW ARE YOU? It is one of the most uncomfortable feelings in the world. Again your staff is amazing and you should remember that. You don't need to have them yell out to a customer coming in the door. A simple hello and a smile at the counter goes a long way. Lastly if you are going to increase all of your prices that much you should take the old signs down that show how much more you are charging people then you use to. It was shocking to come in and order my same old drink and realize that the prices have gone up significantly. Again your staff is amazing so don't take your corporate actions out on them, Just lower your pressure on them and let the customers and employees enjoy themselves. I'm sorry I even had to write this but I had to.When your location is just across the street from me and I can't go into it, that means something. I hope one day I can re-enter this place and just be greeted as a human not as a dollar sign.

Besides one of the best coffee in town, Liquid Planet offers a perfect spot to chill and enjoy the experience of taking a break sipping a delicious cappuccino. Wine selection is wonderful. Staff fantastic.

The best coffee in the State!
The Chai was spicy and smooth.
Not watered down like the national chains serve it.

I wish I liked this place better! The thing that gets me is that, although it's a local chain, it seems to have adopted that more corporate, Starbucks-y vibe. Good drinks and snacks, though--especially if The Break is too full to get a decent seat.

This Liquid Planet has wonderful customer service. The baristas here are very nice and always ready to help you. They have a large and unique menu. The panini pressed sandwiches are really good and comforting. Seating area is usually pretty clean.

Love the atmosphere, and how they have a dog water bowl outside. My frappuchino wasn't as thick as I would like. But I'm sure on a future visit I could get that remedied with extra ice or something. The food I ate was confusing to me. It was more shocking I guess, I expected a burrito not a sandwich. But it still tasted good. Though it was a little spicy for my taste. Very polite service people. Will hAve to come again sometime.

Love this coffee shop. Was in Missoula for two days on a working vacation and visited both days to get some work done. Great atmosphere, tons of seating and super friendly staff!

Awesome store/coffee shop. Great atmosphere. Nice variety of products and fun to look around. Barista Mat was pleasant and made a good iced latte! Definitely would come back. Beats the national Sbux brand anyday!
