Zootown Brew, a coffee shop in downtown Missoula, Montana, is a special place to the hearts of many. It isn't just a normal coffee shop, it's much more! What's so good about Zootown Brew? What sets it apart? Well continue reading to find out! Once you go Zootown Brew is there any going back?!
1. It loves Jesus and people
Zootown Church, the owners of Zootown Brew, make sure that the love of Jesus is shown through their business. The baristas radiate love and there is even a church service held in the shop Thursday nights! They are always here to talk and inspire! Come see for yourself.
2. Matcha
This green goodness is a newer addition to the shop. They use matcha from Lake Missoula Tea Company, but make it with lots of love! We like it with vanilla, but other regulars drink it with caramel! It is served either as a tea or a latte!
3. $5 off a purchase every 10 purchases
WHAT?! $5 off?! Thats rght! You don't just get one free drink, you could get 2,3 or even 5 if you only want soda! It's a like a gift card, but has to be used on one purchase instead of multiple.
4. Local artists featured every month
There has been everything from scenery to rabbit painting on the brick walls of Zootown Brew. What will be next?! Visit the shop to find out!
5. First Friday
Every month, Missoula holds First Friday, on well.... the first Friday of the month! Zootown always has fun musicians and art to display (as well as amazing lattes). Come to the shop and ask about who they will be featuring on the next First Friday!
6. They are Instagram GOALS
GRACE KILLS IT ON THEIR INSTAGRAM! They post everything from their employees, to coffee, to cute babies with coffee! Take a look for yourself @ZootownBrew
7. They have a downstairs... with couches!!!
Yes, you heard me right! If you walk down the stairs located near the register, the entire atmosphere changes. You go from a hipster/ modern coffee shop to a place that feels like your grandma's basement. The lights are dimmed and the floors are wood. You can even hear the footsteps of those on the main floor. You almost forget that you're in a coffee shop!
8. The Coffee sign downstairs
Sometimes you just want to show your love for coffee online, and Zootown Brew is a great place to do this. Why? Its because they have a sign downstairs that, with lights, spells coffee! Take a pic in a coffee shop, with a coffee, in front of a coffee sign!
9. DON!!
One of the things that tends to make a coffee shop work is the amazing regulars. Don is one of a kind. He's either at a back table reading a book or at the coffee bar making weird experiments. Don has been seen making a model that represents the way a ear works. Come say hi!
10. The light bulbs
Zootown Brew is covered with cool lights! They hang in the windows and behind their menu and sit on the tables downstairs.
Exhibit A

11. LARTE (Get it? Latte art!)
The Zootown Brew baristas are goals. Their latté art is pure perfection!
12. SMOOTHIES!
Zootown Brew now sells smoothies! Yes, this is real life! Coffee, smoothies, italian soda, floats, pour overs, affogato, and frappes ALL IN ONE SHOP!
13. The BAEristas
That's right. They aren't just amazing baristas, they are BAEristas. Need proof?!
Okay, yes, we are obviously super obsessed with this glorious coffee shop. But these reasons justify our fixation and our passion for our exaltation with Zootown Brew! Keep calm and brew on!
