Cold Smoke Coffeehouse

Cold Smoke refers to the snow in Montana -- so light and fluffy it hangs in the air like smoke. One does not normally associate that with coffee, but a new roaster in Bozeman has appropriated the name. Cold Smoke specializes in small batch roastings, all of which are done in house and then tested repeatedly. The store has been open since 2011, and the owners admit they had no special training -- just a love for coffee. Unfortunately, both Laura and I found ours to be off the one time we visited. Both her iced latte and my hot mocha had odd flavors we were not expecting -- both almost had a huckleberry flavor, which might OK in a straight black cuppa but not in a latte.
