I was in Montrose for my niece's wedding this weekend. This is a solid spot. I love independent…read morecoffee shops and roasters. First experienced this joint several years ago when I was in town for my nephew's wedding, and was happy to see this joint still around. I'm from a big city, and it's increasingly difficult to find coffee shops designed to make you want to stay a while (I.e. comfortable seating options, etc). So, it's refreshing to walk into a place like this...which feels like a coffee shop met a hunting lodge. Service was good. They take orders efficiently and crank out drinks quickly. First morning, I can't remember the name of what I had, but I believe it was a mixture butter pecan / white chocolate latte. It was good, but I asked for it half sweet and it still came out sweet enough to cross your eyes. The second morning, just black coffee. For an independent roaster, I was a tad disappointed; flavor wasn't there. My wife and I are coffee connoisseurs; we research and order from independent roasters across the country. So, we know flavor profiles and consider ourselves knowledgeable. Additional "cons": they could do better at announcing completed orders. Had I not been standing right there and asked, who knows how long our drinks would have sat there. Lastly, I was disappointed in the bagged whole bean coffee options. Other than a label with the name of the roast, there was no further information regarding flavor profiles or anything. Overall: love the atmosphere,...that alone is worth the fourth star.

Needed some coffee and breakfast before our adventure in Black Canyon of the Gunnison National…read morePark. We enjoyed our initial visit so much, we stopped by a second time after we finished in the park to get another caffeine-fix. Coffee Trader has so much charm and character that is immediately evident when you drive up. Located inside an old house, they have maneuvered their coffee shop around the house instead of adapting the house to fit their needs. And it just makes the experience that much more enjoyable. They have a surprisingly large menu here with great drink selections. Such a great variety of syrups - first coffee shop I've ever been to that offers an amaretto syrup. I added it to my mocha - what a great combination. If you like amaretto, definitely recommend giving it a try. Their Black Canyon was also tasty, but it's super sweet - so you need a good sweet tooth to really enjoy this one. Besides their pastries, they have a couple food items. The sausage burrito was a good start to the morning. Easy to find street parking. Overall, a really enjoyable coffee shop. Would definitely recommend stopping by - especially if you're on your way to Black Canyon!

Everything is counter service and you get your own silverware and bus your table. Beers were cold and tasty. The avocado toast I had was on a thicker slab of bread than I expected, but decent, if a little small. My love enjoyed his power salad. We also did some shopping in the boutique area where they had a great selection of gifts, candles and hats. Nice spot for a casual lunch, but if you're looking for table service or something fancier, this is not the place. Very much like a cafe with an adjoining boutique and candle factory. Easy lot parking.

They were out of cold brew. I ordered a matcha. It was not properly mixed and I got chunks in my drink. However, I cannot and will not blame the barista as she was running around the whole joint on a time crunch. The real problem was the lack of staff. The coffee shop was spacious and provided a great space to do work. I recommend, but only on a day with sufficient staff.

It had very little flavor and little raisins. I was disappointed. Again it wasn't bad, just not anything to write home about.

Second time here. First time as I am ordering my drink, the "manager" said "Are you fuckin with…read moreme?" And proceeded to complain about my order. She tells me she can't do extra hot over 170 which is a lie. The barista looked at me and said "don't worry. I've got ya." Today, I came back hoping for a better experience. The cashier was better but missed a couple things. When my drink was called she said she wasn't allowed to go over 175. The drink had tons of foam and barely tasted like a mocha. This store and its employees need to be trained by a true Starbucks trainer and represent the company better. You can call your customers hon and love but please make their drinks right and know company policies before spouting them off. The store is a nice size and vibe is good.

I mean, we could not get enough. If you ever get a toast, make sure to ask for their fruity syrup. It's just WOW. Also, get their bacon - Starvin' Arvin's can make bacon right. Everything else is alright. We came in hungry and wanted a bit of everything. While we enjoyed their bread, pancakes and French toast, it seems like we ordered the weakest dishes in the joint. The chicken fried steak, hash browns and green chili omelet were okay. The steak and hash browns were lacking flavor on their own, so you really had to make it your own by adding seasoning or getting a touch of extra gravy. The green chili omelet has a lot going on. It's pack full of a variety of flavor, but when one component doesn't work, it's like the whole dish struggles because you can't pick it out of the dish. The place felt like an old-school diner which is something to appreciate. It has a nice parking lot around the location, and it's rowdy in the morning like you'd expect from a place like this.
