Coffee Kiosks
If you’re looking for a local Starbucks to get your morning caffeine fix, you’re out of luck.
Fortunately, in much of the west — including Missoula, Montana, where I’m briefly visiting — there are free-standing coffee kiosks instead.
The drill: drive up on the right side, place your order, and pay; then, drive around to the other side and collect your coffee.
The kiosks are about the size of an ice-fishing hut; they’re typically manned (“womanned?”) by two-person teams (one on each side).
