My father and I stopped in here on our 10 day 3000 mile motorcycle road trip from Houston to Colorado. We pulled over and checked my phone for a place to eat. WOW!!!! is all I can say. In all my years of eating out I have never had such fantastic hospitality. The owner chatted with us for quite a while. She was very sweet. Very personable. Looked at our map and suggested different routes. The food was delicious. It was like eating at your best friends moms house. The breakfast burrito was delicious. I had the mama bear with green sauce and my dad had the mama bear with red sauce. They have a bunch of different fancy coffees also. This is a great little place. Please stop by and enjoy it as we did. read more

We stopped on our way back from Ouray for breakfast. Had the green chili burrito and would stop here again for it. As other reviews mentioned, it may have been microwaved, but it was tasty. The owner was very nice. Ordered coffee to go and it was good. read more

Stopped by on our way through town. Pros: very affordable, clean, owner was very sweet, biscuits were ok. Homey feel. Cons: sorry to say but food was super bland, tasted pre-made and may have to agree with another review that it seems microwaved. Great service but if you want to survive, I would rethink upping the quality of your food. read more

Stopped in for a burrito to go and a coffee. The lady running the place was extremely sweet and is really the only reason for the second star. The coffee was fine, but she didn't ask what size I wanted and brought me a huge cup. I didn't open my burrito until I got to the office and I gotta say... very disappointing. It was like something you can get out of a freezer. $7 for the coffee and burrito and the burrito was 5 inches long and lacking in flavor. Not much going on in there. It's a shame. I try to support local joints and hate it when they disappoint so badly. No wonder the place was empty. I felt like I got shaken down for as much $ as they could get because they didn't think I was a local. As an owner, you have to take greater pride in your work. read more

Starting off with some positives! First this place is worth a try:-) The food is tasty but the menu is limited; what you get is tasty and provided at a reasonable price. The service is very friendly but not speedy. The decor is "homey" and comfortable and the wifi is strong for the business traveler and the quiet ambience would be a good place to get a little work done while eating---not noisy of "clattery."We arrived and were seated quickly and asked if we wanted coffee which we said yes to! The first cup was served pretty cold:-( We had to wait until we were ready to leave to get offered another cup in a friendly way; the coffee was hot, fresh, and tasty--they have a good brew here. The door was left open during the time we were there allowing flies to enter--this is just a small oversight but noticed by customers:-( I will bring my son here in the next few weeks when he returns on military leave. This little place is worth a try on your way through! read more

Light House Eatery - Trying this place for the first time. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montrose, Colorado

See all

Light House is a hidden gem in Montrose. Don't let the unassuming small house exterior fool you. When you walk in, the seating areas and decor are warm and inviting. The food is delicious and made from scratch. Our family had breakfast and lunch meals and everything was wonderful. Great personal service from the owners. Make this your choice in Montrose. We're so glad we did as we traveled through this area. read more

Wow, this place is adorable and the prices are great! $7.77 for a huge breakfast burrito that includes coffee or tea. I told the owner they needed to raise their prices and I never say that! The owners are super friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back when we're in the area! The green chile burrito is vegetarian and wonderful! read more

The Light House is a hidden gem in Montrose. The truly blessed are the ones who know about their deliciously light and buttery rolls. The moose decorations make me feel like I'm in a cabin in the woods, and the rolls make me think I am eating the best part of a Thanksgiving meal year-round. Their coffee drinks are made to perfection, and the store owners are extremely nice people. The Light House is one of Montrose's best kept secrets. Every time I am there, I have to convince myself to not buy every roll they have. read more

The kids insisted on McDonald's and we happened to see this place before ordering mommy and daddy's food. What a great surprise! The owner was so great and the food very well priced and delicious! We got the Polish dog which was amazing!!!!! I got the turkey pastrami wrap which was also delicious. We even got an iced coffee and 50/50 tea and lemonade. Very good. Oh and for a side the green chili chicken soup was fabulous. We were very very impressed with our little find. B read more

This place is awful. My sister, mother and I were there 10 minutes before drinks, another 10 before the server came back with no drinks and took our order. When we confronted her about 7 minutes later to tell her we were unsatisfied and leaving, she had still not made our drinks or entetered our order. Would recommend NOT going here. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but it just fell short. The good things: The owner was friendly, the place was clean and cozy and the coffee tasted good. The bad: It took 15 minutes to get two cups of drip coffee and there were only two other customers there, so it wasn't busy. The menu required explanation (very few descriptions on the menu which would be fine if the titles provided their own description, but they don't). I had the Moose Porridge which was really oatmeal that they doctor up. It had brown sugar IN the oatmeal, a caramel sauce ON the oatmeal and sweetened whipped cream ON TOP of that (none of that is listed one the menu - oatmeal isn't even listed in the description!). It was served with a side of very heavily sweetened cream, raw sugar, and two chocolate-coated coffee beans. I don't usually shy away from sugar, but this was just way, way over the top and not in a good way (and I didn't even use the sugars/cream on the side!). There was nothing healthy about that oatmeal porridge. My friend had the "bear paw" (which is a large yeast roll - but again, not described on the menu). It was baked that morning, but microwaved to serve, so it was rubbery (but had a decent flavor). The scrambled eggs tasted sweet and looked microwaved and didn't have much yellow color - more like tan. I should have read the reviews more closely and perhaps I would have tried the green chile, but I'm afraid we won't be back for breakfast. Perhaps lunch is better, but I really wish the menu described the food so it didn't have to be explained by the waitstaff. read more
