Freeheel and Wheel

freeheel and wheel gets the coffee right. that sounds simple, but in a town where most visitors are passing through on their way to or from yellowstone, simple and consistent is harder than it looks. you don't have to be a specialty coffee obsessive to notice when a place is taking the work seriously, and this one does. it sits on yellowstone ave in west yellowstone, montana, which isn't a neighborhood built around lingering, yet people linger here anyway. the regulars who keep coming back aren't doing it out of habit alone. there's something deliberate happening, a quietness about the approach that doesn't need to announce itself. if you're rolling into town early, before the park traffic picks up, this is where you want to be with your first cup of the day.
