A gem in downtown Great Falls!!! Friendly staff, a deliciously prepared simple menu, perfectly roasted coffee on-site, a roomy interior with plenty of nooks to find your own quiet spot and a beautiful outdoor patio with tons of space for gatherings! Free parking in the lot across the street or free 2 hr street parking during the weekdays. The perfect coffee chat date location!!!

Food and coffee great (coffee quite small) Quiche excellent. Waitress friendly. Young man figeting with machine (who was only staff up from when I arrived) barely acknowledged my presence. Not a welcoming beginning. Had a quiet booth to myself and not too crowded.

A small coffee shop/bistro tucked back in between buildings offering a spacious patio with some greenery and rustic vibes. While the wooden menu has few options, the quality of each item is on point. I got the Greek yogurt and granola, all local and homemade of course, and it has to be one of the best Ive ever had. The spices in the granola and the wholesomeness of the Greek yogurt with a touch of honey on top was absolutely delightful. Their coffee is just as good. I usually love to load my iced latte up with sugary flavorings so I was a little disappointed to see only 3 flavors on the board. But dont let that deter you! They make a killer coffee that tastes good and feels good! I would absolutely recommend this coffee shop and I will be back.

Fantastic! Delicious cookies. Pleasant staff

Cappuccino was great, went back in when I saw they did espresso tonic. Reeeeeallly hit the spot on a hot day.

Their avocado toast is the best I’ve had in town but today I was told it would be a 15 minute wait, which was fine. But I ended up waiting 45 minutes for a piece of toast. And it did not seem busy to me. Extremely frustrating.

Great coffee and breakfast. Very cool vibe

Nice atmosphere, great service and the food was delicious 😋

Jake is the best! He has an amazing personality! And the customer service is amazing! Best coffee in town, best food in town. 5 star coffee shop.

We love Al Banco! The avocado toast is fantastic! The ingredients are fresh! And, everything I have eaten here is well prepared and delicious. This is s local family owned coffee spot and eatery. They are serious about quality, and taking care of those who choose to be patrons. You are always made to feel welcome, and valued.The seating is varied, so you can dine at a table, or relax with friends on the chairs and couches. The music is good, and they are open to suggestions. It is a clean, comfy, tidy place to kick back, relax, and enjoy your time. And, again, the avocado toast is exceptional!Also, the barista is passionate about all things coffee, or coffee bean! He is intent on being knowledgeable about coffee beans, the process of creating awesome coffee flavor, and the variety of ways to get there. He is serious, and will talk with you about what flavors you are looking for, as well as showing you the techniques for creating coffee that you might want to explore. I honestly had no clue. And, I have enjoyed learning, and trying, new ways to create great flavors, and tastes, of coffee.

Amazing Coffee, Cool Atmosphere, Nice People, Killer Mocha, Bomb Quiche, Great Service!! Honestly this place has it all, with great latte art!

If you want to drink coffee the way its meant to be, give Al Banco a try. They have got the experience down to an art/perfected system. I have had literally every drink they make and it’s all great. They offer a small food menu as well, I highly recommend the avocado toast with a soft boiled egg, it’s pretty awesome! They offer a pleasant sit down space with over flow into the building for more seating space to knock out work. Quiet and relaxing environment. Try them out!

Great coffee shop with friendly staff and excellent espresso. Its tucked in the back of the building, so it can take a bit to find it. The baked goods looked amazing too (I will have to try them next time).

This is genuinely my favorite local coffee spot! Their Espresso is so smooth and delicious and if you want a latte they make their own syrups and they are fantastic! Theyre also military friendly which is very appreciated!

Well done! ImOn my second oat milk latte of the day here they are sooo good! Then Ill move onto iced

Our favorite coffee place in town. Everything there is amazing, the Coffee and Kombucha are amazing, sandwiches are delicious, baked goods are perfect and their waffles on Saturday are the best I’ve ever had. My husband and I come every week!

I graduated from Great Falls many years ago, and only return because of family. I’m always on the hunt for some jewels to make the trip more pleasant. Imagine my glee to find a beautiful new shop with obsessively crafted coffee and food. ❤️ Jake’s crustless quiche was fantastic. Jesse’s espresso and pour overs delighted me....Jesse is also fantastic at working with his customers, deftly and gently engaging the unexpected line of people who appeared early on a Monday.Al Banco is a treasure for The Electric City. Help it to thrive!

Hands down the best place for food and drink in the great falls region. Picture perfect every time and even more delicious than it looks. The care taken by each warm, lovely member of the staff is undeniable and appreciated

Tomatoe soup hit the spot!

Love the owners and their friend group is the best❤️

Possibly the best coffee I’ve had in USA.And the food follows suit.

I love Al Banco! Everyone is so nice and truly takes pride in what they do. Jesse makes excellent coffee and has great knowledge on a variety of things that have to do with the process of sourcing beans, roasting, brewing etc. Jake in the back makes excellent food and pastries, everything Ive had has never been disappointing. I love supporting small local businesses and Al Banco is truly my favorite coffee shop in Great falls. The food is unique, fresh and always delicious. Jesse always has great flavor selections to add to your coffee if thats your style. Overall excellent coffee shop and would highly recommend giving them a try if you havent yet!

The family that operate Al Banco are amazing. Great coffee and fresh food. Limited menu, but what is on it, is amazing

Great people. great food. great family owned business.

Excellent coffee and food selection. The best pour-over coffee in town. Great rotating menu options.

First rate, top-notch coffee. Great people and a great place to have conversation. Theyll take the time to educate you on what they have and find out your specific taste.

Super friendly staff, amazing coffee, and some of the absolute most gorgeous latte art Ive ever seen!! 😍

Super friendly and amazing coffee! Merchandise is very awesome too! Will definitely make it a regular stop when coming back to Great Falls!

From Italian. I found a place where coffee can be tasted like in Italy

The atmosphere is great, love the outdoor seating. Menu varies with limited but delicious options. Great for breakfast or lunch.

Always GOOD! Great place to sit and relax, read The Good Book, visit with friends or just hang out. The atmosphere is wonderful and the coffee and food is Bomb!!!

Jesse & Jake are great. This is the best in Great Falls. The breakfast quiche is super tasty. They know coffee like Im in Europe. I never regret ordering a Cortado & avocado toast or apple tartine. Perfect everytime. Their Chai latte is amazing as well. Drinks are flawless, every single time 😍 Thank-you guys

Legit coffee served in the traditional styles. Really satisfying food and pastries options as well. On trend flavors. Just be prepared for a little wait so not some place Id stop if I were in a hurry. Nice atmosphere though to sit and chat. Friendly service.

I ordered a cortado and my husband ordered a macchiato. We both loved what we got! Gorgeous shop with a nice aesthetic and gorgeous photography on the walls! Very friendly and knowledgeable baristas as well! Were so glad we stopped!

Al Banco has become our favorite coffee shop. Jesse and his staff are so kind and truly care about each person who comes through the door. We are impressed with how much research is done on different kinds of beans and the presentation of each beverage is special. We also.love how many different ways they have to brew a cup of coffee.

I love their coffee

Absolute best coffee in all of Montana. Americans are too used to the sugared down trash at places like Starbucks or City Brew. This is personally hand-brewed and made coffee. Made with love, joy, and passion. Al Banco is family owned, and Im glad it is. The family is so inviting and intentional with finding what you want or just checking up on your life if youre a regular. Their food as well is off the charts. 6/5!! I recommend their curry to anyone I meet. Fantastic addition to our city!

Coffee was good, sitting area is nice.

I had a London fog and a long pour. It was amazing done of the best coffe around. The yogurt my wife had was amazing as well. Need to try it here if you havent already.

Stopped on our way through town on a road trip, and we will 100% be stopping again on our way home. One of the best pour over coffees I’ve had, anywhere. They are a small batch roaster and had some unique beans 👌

Very wonderful and welcoming service. I got a latte, soup and quiche and I am in love. Will be coming back.

Incredible coffee. Cool historic building. Lovely family owned and operated shop.

The service was great. The staff was very friendly. I ordered the avocado toast and it was well worth it.I love how light pulls into the place and makes the dining area so comfortable. Lots of choice seating, exposed brick and exposed beams.In a good place downtown off the beaten path. Great place to sit, gather and relax with a relatively quiet place to relax. Also, I LOVE the station they are playing for the music.

Amazing coffee, atmosphere and peeps

Their cold brew is on point as well as anything else Ive had there. I love the chicken curry lunch bowl...so good! The outdoor patio is amazing. My wife and I love to come here on my days off for a quick bite and a delicious coffee.

I like coffee but I dont like it roasted

Best coffee in town. You have to appreciate the effort they put in to creating a great product, quality and consistency. Also, the staff are so nice and welcoming, truly genuine.

The coffee is wonderful and the foods great, too! I love this place, I go once a week!

I got a cold brew coffee and it was fantastic. I dont like acidic coffee but I like a good strong flavor and this was perfect on both counts. I keep getting coffee in town that has a weird malty flavor and this was not that way. Plus my children really liked that there were board games and played Chess for a little while.

Its not full of methheads or someone trying to hit you up for money in the parking lot. For Great Falls thats high praise. Food is good too.

Super chill. Best coffee in town. Jesse is extremely particular about how the coffee is made to give you consistently the best possible coffee from the best beans

Hidden away, but cozy. I tried their chocolate chip oatmeal cookie yesterday... wow SO good!

I finally made it over to Al Banco this morning. I had avocado toast with a hard boiled egg, and I’m telling you, the bread was ON POINT. I never thought I could enjoy toast that much. Also on the positive side of things, the service was excellent. The young man who took our order was friendly and efficient. We were very pleased! Unfortunately, as much as I want to love every little thing about this cool spot, my coffee just wasn’t hot. I’ll be back though!

Best coffee shop in Great Falls... high class Italian establishment... just go see for yourself.

Incredible coffee, such care and attention to detail. Total gem. Avocado toast also delish. This place has better coffee than a lot of places in bigger cities.

The best coffee shop in Montana! I love this place. They have the best espresso and lattes. They also have amazing food; their avocado toast is among the best Ive ever eaten.

These guys know coffee! If you want something unique that cant really be found anywhere in town, AL Banco is definitely worth a try. Super friendly and good recommendations. Tell them what flavors you normally go for and they will build off of that. I wish GF had more places like this!

Amazing experience and even better coffee. The atmosphere feels like a big city coffee house right here in Great Falls. I had a latte and quiche, dont tell my wife but it was the best quiche Ive ever had.I will be making this a regular stop.

Hands down, the best coffee shop in Great Falls. The owner is remarkable at making your drink, and the food is impeccable. You will not be disappointed by the modern decor, the gourmet food, or the exquisite coffee.

Extremely slow, (15 minutes in line before ordering) the epitome of coffee snobbery and no convenient parking. The coffee may be excellent but when the barista argues with you when you ask for a quad split shot and refuses to make your drink because I only brew single origin its time to leave.

I got the avacado toast and a vanilla latte with oat milk. First place Ive been in Great Falls that has oat milk! Delicious food, cozy-modern atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

The coffee is delicious. 😋 👍Tried the Choc. Oatly flat white nice aroma with a light taste. Plus they have stronger coffees plus sandwiches, pasta, soup, breakfast items etc. I highly recommend giving this place a shot.

Good fresh salad, nice atmosphere

These guys really know what they’re doing and they are so passionate about it. The pour over was one the best I’ve ever had.

Seriously the best coffee you can get in town. I tell everyone this! No other coffee shop in town compares. The menu is simple, but provides a lot of options no where in town offers. The avocado toast is SPECTACULAR. I would just say they can get a little pricey with their menu items. A small sandwich that costs 5.50 when it was 4.50 to begin with seems like a bit much to me. Nevertheless, I will keep going back because the food and coffee are incomparable.

Beautiful place, sweet people, great coffee and food.

Been here 3 times this past week for an Affogato espresso with home made amaretto ice cream which is to for for. Taste buds were dancing.

Best coffee in Great Falls. So much hard work goes into this bistro, and its so cool to learn about how the majority of their food is grown and made in Montana.

Excellent service, excellent food, great location! My wife was a barista for 10 years even she was impressed! ... I would have taken a picture of my quiche which was awesome and the French toast but I was hungry and ate it before I thought to take a picture, so youll just have to come get some yourself.

Great, delicious, food locally sourced and beautifully prepared. Dog friendly patio. Overall a great experience.

Comfy couches, tables and chairs, outside dining. Your choice! Great food, inexpensive dining. I highly recommend it!

Friendly service, very clean and neat shop and restrooms and amazing white flat coffees and avocado toast. Had a pastry I had never had with an unusual name that was delicious!

Good food, European style coffee drinks and heavenly lavender mint iced tea. A great place to get together with friends. The coffee cups are handmade by a very talented local Potter.

Cool little coffee shop with fresh, light breakfast/lunch menu. Nice space and atmosphere. Great service.

Cozy modern environment. Staff is quick and helpful and kind. Food is great, coffee is authentic, and yummy.

I love this cafe and I am so happy Great Falls has some here like this now! Their food is incredible. The quality alone is worth trying.

Delicious quiche in a quaint atmosphere with a big city coffee house vibe. The service was a little slow but the staff was very friendly. Try the cinnamon toast!

Exquisite coffee and food! High end, and very affordable. I highly recommend this cute little local establishment!

Great place to get great coffee in Great Falls. If you like good coffee...go here.

Best coffee ever, but dont expect perfection to be quick. Also very tasty waffles, pastries, and avocado toast.

Absolutely amazing coffee and food. With friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere, and affordable, memorable food and drink, this is the best place to relax with friends.

Beautiful latte art and delicious food. They know what they’re doing here.

Hands down best coffee in town!

Coffee is not good at all. I came in twice already and my order was messed up.

Friendly, awesome customer service, good food and cool ambiance!

Fantastic place to have coffee and a pastry. Staff and owner Michelle are professional, exciting and give that feeling of comfort.

Consistently superb food, beautiful setting and wonderful service.

Best vanilla chai tea Ive ever had.

What a great little place. Food was fabulous and the coffee was amazing.

You can get coffee anywhere, but if you want excellent coffee that is prepared with care and intention for the bean, milk and all aspects of the coffee in mind, look no further than Al Banco.

Im a local and go to Al Banco often. The food is amazing. Flavors are wonderful while still being healthy foods. Ingredients are always fresh and their food selection is unlike any other restaurant in Great Falls. The most expensive thing on their menu is the Quinoa bowl at $10. Im currently eating that now and LOVING it. Great curry, salad, and soup.

Good food and fair price

Excellent coffee and food items, though limited menu. Service was friendly and efficient.

Had the avocado toast.... really good... good quality.... will be back

Excellent quality! Great food!

Very Awesome place! Making coffee is an art here.

I love this place so much. Its a wholly ubique place in town that serves wonderful coffee and delicious, made in house, food and Ive tried just about everything on the menu...I love the music playlist the owner makes because it isnt that generic jazz or blues that EVERY coffee shop plays and it feels so homey in here.I hate staying in coffee shops, but this place has me coming back time and time again just to hang out and enjoy a coffeeshop or meal. The owner and employees are the kindest people Ive met and so helpful. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area and to any visitors wanting a great coffee or meal.

Best coffee in town. They take pride in their business and their product. Love it!

Delicious coffee and food in a great atmosphere with friendly staff at better prices than chain coffee shops

They take pride in their coffee and work hard to keep the place clean and hygienic.
