Moose Monday - Fourth Post of Four: Mocha Moose Espresso - The Moose is Loose in Roberts, Montana

Mocha Moose Espresso - The Moose is Loose in Roberts, Montana

On Sunday, during the Red Lodge July 4th parade, I made another moose sighting.

No, a real moose did not decide to come down on main street wearing red, white and blue but the moose moosely appeared by surprise in the logo and name of a new coffee place in Roberts, Montana called Mocha Moose Espresso.  Roberts is only 13 miles north of Red Lodge and on highway 212 towards Billings, Montana.  The exact address is 310 S Railway Avenue on the south end of Roberts.

Here is the photo I moosely wanted to share with those that weren't at the parade.

Here is a close-up photo of their logo.

I will most likely make a coffee stop at Mocha Moose Espresso the next time I pass by Roberts, Montana.

With a name like that, the coffee moose be good.  And who knows, I might find a great loose moose photo opportunity.  :)

This completed the set of four moose posts on this Moose Monday.

Marc,

While you were typing your comment, the moose post was being finalized (moose good photos take time to upload!).  You should now see the post in its entirety.  I was just trying to make in on the last minute of Monday based on your fast paced Toronto time that is why I initially got the text and had to come back and update for the photos.  :)

Myrl,

These ones were moosely spectacular but I got more simply spectacular photos of the parade taking place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for July 4th as well as the annual Rodeo of Champions.   Once, I get through and pick the best, I will post them on here.   :)

Gerry - Roberts, Montana is very moosely to get a new moose coffee shop.  Myrl's anticipation is very catchy.  I await in moosely anticipation until the time you visit Mocha Moose Espresso to sample all of their great moose offerings. :)

Marc,

No moose offerings but moosely breakfast eats and drinks offerings.   I will be happy to come back to this post and give my review after a couple of visits. You typed so quickly in anticipation that I noticed two typos in your response.  See if you can find them on your next visit.

Tony & Darcy,

You know by now, that I take great pleasure to spot moose in any shape or form, real, 3-D or just an image of a moose.  One just happened to appear in the parade.  :)

Gerry - I was testing you to see if you could find hidden typos to keep you busy while I look for hidden mooses in your other posts. :)

I like that name too! And I love coffee...I drink Starbucks coffee and don't know if there is any up in your neck of the country.

Coming to you from Texas...

Sussie,

There are no Starbucks coffee in Red Lodge but we do have some great local coffee shops!   The closest Starbucks is in Billings, about 60 miles North of Red Lodge.  You can get your first Montana coffee there prior to coming to Red Lodge (as the airport is in Billings) and then try the Mocha Moose Espresso coffee if you need a second cup when you get to Roberts (after about a 50 miles drive from Billings) on your way to Red Lodge.  :)

Gerry - Both of us numbers guys need to learn to count to three.  I had found two typos and fixed both of them.  You had found two typos but only one typo of your set intersected one typo of my set. :)  That's what happens when we are both racing against the clock in the late hours / early hours of the day.  Anyhow, the third one is now fixed.

Marc,

Thank you for fixing it.  I have gone ahead and deleted comment #13 (not that I am superstitious, lol).   No more racing against the clock!  :)

Tiffany,

You are very welcome! I am glad you ran across this blog post. You do have a very nice coffee shop and one with a great name! I was a former resident of Red Lodge (2008 to 2010) and I loved taking photos of moose in the area (both real and depictions of it) and sharing them on my blog. I had to move back to Montreal, Canada given unforeseen circumstances but that is not bad after all, as it reunited me with my folks and friends living in Montreal. I love Wilcoxson's Ice Cream and trust me that if I was in the neighborhood, I would stop in for some, as well as to say hello.

It is hard to believe that the 4th of July is just around the corner.  Wishing you and your family a great summer, a very happy 4th (in advance) and continued success with Mocha Moose Espresso Coffee Shop!   I know where I would moosely enjoy to stop by for some great coffee and/or ice cream in Roberts the next time I am back in Carbon County for a visit.  :)
