Walked in this morning to my favorite Junction coffee house, with my visiting daughter and son-in-law to grab coffee to-go. They are both coffee fanatics who own a seasonal ice cream and espresso place in Jefferson. They were very happy with the drinks they ordered. For the first time, I ordered the Viking Swill cold brew. It was terrific. Strong, with bold flavor that wasn't hampered by an over roast, like many shops serve. The ladies at the counter were sweet and informative about some of the varietals the shop had on the shelves. I really like this place! read more

We were the first customers to arrive on Sun Sept 27. Coffee smelled and tasted amazing. The young lady behind the counter was anything BUT pleasant. We felt very unwelcome! Very unfortunate for Mountain Air Roasters! read more

I came here twice during my visit to the area and loved this coffee shop! They have a fun standing menu of fancy lattes, but they also have specialty lattes that seem to be seasonal. I chose the "Lucky Charms" latte, which was delicious! It had vanilla and toasted marshmallow flavoring + marshmallow-y foam and Lucky Charms marshmallows on top. There was plenty of seating, and the staff was very friendly. read more

Today, July 1 12 o'clock noon they had a very rude girl serving coffee. I won't even call her barista because she can't follow directions to make specialty very well. read more

This place was so cute! And the smell inside is heavenly! Google maps showed me 4 other coffee places around here that didn't exist and I saw their giant coffee sign outside so we bee-lined! Was pleasantly surprised with the amount of flavors they have cause this girls loves her some flavored lattes. The gal taking my order and fixing drinks was super sweet. I ordered a banana and dark chocolate latte for me and a white chocolate and pumpkin latte for hubs. We both were very pleased!! They have board and card games near the restroom and also rent out electric bikes. Totally plan to stop here on our way out of town tomorrow! read more

I really like this coffee shop! I know a lot of people come by just to pick up beans. I haven't done that myself, but I do enjoy popping in to get an iced coffee and either take it to go or else spend an hour lounging and catching up with a friend. They have seasonal and specialty coffees that I've liked, and often I get an iced lavender latte which is my personal favorite. This last time I went, I tried a scone and it was tasty. The employees are really friendly and there is always enough seating. Will keep coming back! read more

If you haven't tried this coffee shop yet, you definitely need to check it out! Perfect place to study, as the environment is very tranquil and quiet. Everything from the wall decor to the tables was beautifully decorated. The service was quick and friendly. I ordered an iced caramel macchiato and my fiancé ordered an iced white mocha. Both drinks were quite good, energizing, but not overly bold in flavor. Their prices were very reasonable compared to other coffee shops I've visited. I'll definitely be returning and recommending to others! read more

I found Mountain Air through Yelp. After reading the reviews I decided to give them a try, mainly due to the negative reviews. Reviews whining about mask back during the COVID fiasco. Props to the owners, I go out of my way to support businesses that gave the middle finger to the Front Ranger and DC. In addition, the coffee is great. Get some beans and take them home. Huge pluses for Mountain Air Roasters. read more

We are coffee snobs visiting the area from DC and had a great experience here. The cold brew was delicious, one person in our party loved their smoothie, and omg that cinnamon roll (get it warmed up.) The place was well kept and bright. My husband was happy because they gave him stickers for the off-road truck The owner was super friendly along with the staff. If we were staying overnight, we'd have come back in the morning. read more

Good coffee and good service and a lot of choices including adult beverages so I would recommend trying this place

It's been almost a year since I posted my original review of Mountain Air Roasters. I was walking past the store today and thought I might pop back on to Yelp and perhaps write an update. The mask mandate is gone, and maybe it was time to delete my old review. I still haven't been back in but it looks like they're doing ok. Anyway, I see that several months after I wrote my initial review I got a thoughtful response in a message from the owner. I've uploaded a screenshot, and I'll just post it here without further comment. read more

Mountain Air Roasters - Owner of the store tells me to kindly go f... myself. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

We're new to the area and are looking for stores to feed our vices. Beer and wine are easy, coffee not so much. We've tried most of the other places in town and none had really floated our boat. We'd avoided Mountain Air because of some of the negative reviews here. At the end of the day, despite being a veteran, I don't care if a business is veteran owned, to paraphrase Alton Brown, I'm just here for the coffee. The political views of the owner similarly don't matter if they don't rub my nose in their views. Still, the stories didn't make me think Mountain Air would be welcoming, or that their coffee would be worth it. So, how'd it work out for us? Is Mountain Air the best in Grand Junction, as some have claimed? There are two aspects to a coffee shop. One is how the in shop coffee and experience are, the other is how their beans are when you get them home. The in shop experience and coffee were very good. We enjoyed our coffees and pastries, the staff was nice. While I haven't tried all the coffee shops in town, so far this is the best we've brought home. Their Sumatra made a very nice cup here at home. We'll be back, and we look forward to being back. read more

Update: I've received two terse messages from the owner. I'm not the only one. I responded politely to the first and wished him well. I meant it. I think peer pressure is actually more effective than laws. The reply came 5 months later and was not pleasant. I support other businesses that I know do not care for the mask mandate but they aren't asses about it. That's the difference. read more

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. I highly recommend a vanilla lavender latte with almond milk (their recommendation that was spot on!) The muffin was very yummy. What a great spot for a morning cuppa. I also love that I am able to support a veteran business in this community! I'll be visiting much more often. read more

Mountain Air Roasters - a hand holding a cup of coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

Veteran owned - delicious coffee especially the cubano coffees. Service has always been great. The girl manager always takes the time to talk with customers and explains the drinks. They also sell coffee beans/coffee to go. Don't believe the negative reviews, they are obviously written by angry liberals who are upset that this coffee shop doesn't enforce masks in a county that there is not a mask mandate! read more

**Updated** The owner replied to my review, photo attached. Decreased my review to one star as a result. Upon additional review he has had health code violations. I wanted to think this shop was doing their best durning covid. They're not wearing masks, don't require others to do so. I don't see how this isn't a health code violation and it's just good practice to keep others safe. I picked up what will be my last bottle of Rum Runner. I've had friends die of covid and it sounds like this owner would like to tell me It didn't happen. read more

I love this place! The staff was so knowledgeable and welcoming. I got an over all inviting vibe from this place! I'm glad I stopped here on my trip. While road tripping around, I like to collect Lbs of coffee. I'm am so happy I bought two delightful blends from MAR. Morning inspiration blend was beyond my expectations for a "breakfast blend." This blend had me jazzed, jazzed on life it's self. I was zooming through my day. I also extremely enjoyed the Meister blend! What a ripper, I went through this pound so fast, I M U S T O R D E R M O R E ! ! My husband was obsessed with the integrity and boldness of this blend, smackn good!!! Watch out! I'm from California, and oh so how I wish we had more coffee shops just like this gem in good ol CA! I'll be back MAR for some delicious beans and a wholesome cup of coffee! read more

The coffee is so smooth and delicious. It's fine "dining" that is as affordable as the average cup of Joe. I like the relax atmosphere and supporting a small business with good values. read more

If you want to go to the most unwelcoming, unfriendly, unpleasant, unprofessional location for an overpriced cup of coffee served by miserable employees, come here. The owner has been known to be verbally aggressive toward his employees and does not treat them with respect. I wanted to make this review because I have witnessed this firsthand as a customer. I have lived in Grand Junction for over 10 years, and have heard many nasty things about the owner. As a community, we cannot reward this behavior. Not to mention the health code violations that are very obvious in the store, or that the business practices of the establishment are idiotic at best. With the political views plastered in every corner, including the coffee bags and yelp responses, it is safe to say that not all are welcome here. read more

Best coffee spot in town! The baristas are always very friendly and welcoming. The menu options are extensive, you can't go wrong with any of the lattes! The negative reviews for this place are comical and all based on on issues not related to coffee or service. Forget your politics and go get a great cup of coffee. read more

went to Mountain Air Roasters today. I had a lightening chai (a chai with a shot of espresso and a blueberry muffin. The staff was friendly and helpful (Britney) and the chai was perfect. Highly recommend. read more

What a great atmosphere and knowledgeable, kind owners. The coffee is roasted right there so you know they know their stuff!! They helped us to find the right stuff for us and were super helpful to the kids, too. There is a clean, fun vibe and games to play! We love supporting Veteran owned business, too. read more

Hidden gem. They were very busy when we walked in on a Wednesday morning around 9am but the line moved quickly and Jeremy was very friendly. Excellent coffee read more

Terrible customer service, mediocre product. Much better places for good coffee and good people

yummy coffee and chai. friendly service and frequented by locals. there's some parking on the street and a lego store next door. you can easily sit and enjoy a cup of coffee for a while and chat up a local! read more

Well I almost went into this place Sat when I was visiting my friends in GJ. Looked like a cozy environment but they obviously don't practice state guidelines foe Covid. I have already been vaccinated so not worried about the virus but if they don't follow the mask mandate how do I know if they follow any health department rules. Yuck! read more

Staff was not masked. I walked out. From seeing other reviews let's clear some things up before assumptions: I do not knell for the National Anthem, I served in the military, my husband is still in the reserves, I identify as Republican and am a scientist. I would have made this a regular stop to take coffees back to the office. A military man should know sloppy practices put us all at risk, read more

Very anti-mask. So I think they are being very successful right now, because they have formed the reputation as being the place to go if you don't care about the health of others. I felt extremely out of place by refusing to take mine off, and heard multiple comments from staff about people who wear masks don't come here. That's fine if you are anti-mask, it just felt disrespectful as a company to not welcome people who care about others' health. Btw their coffee is nasty I've tried it twice since they've been open. Pretty sure they don't know how to use their espresso machine correctly. read more

I really enjoy the coffee and the atmosphere. The baristas are friendly and fast and the coffee is great. No bitter aftertaste and lots of delicious varieties. I love that the store is Veteran owned, independently operated and not caving to societal pressures. Thank you Mountain Air Roasters for your quality service and products. read more

Okay coffee. Was told it was the "darkest roast" in town. Was just okay but not full bodied. Got a red eye there and bought a bag of beans for home use in the French Press. read more

This is always my go-to coffee shop in Grand Junction. I've had many business meetings and just caught up with friends over an amazing cup of coffee with a warm, welcoming and friendly environment. Thanks to their staff for always being so awesome and roasting some of the finest coffee around! read more

Owner is a walloping rude small man. Witnessed him mistreat many customers especially those who appear different than him. Coffee is okay, standard. read more

Some decent roasted coffee with a heavy dose of politics. I'd go somewhere else if you want to wear a mask. Friendly staff but not knowledgeable about products or brew advice. Packages have no brew dates or info. We mostly do full bodied pour over. We like the regular Sumatra but not the flavor of whiskey aged Sumatra. Maybe I'll find better grind or ratio. read more

I visited my sister in Grand Junction last weekend. It was a bit tricky finding a local coffee roaster. I was excited to locate this little gem! It isn't in the best part of town, but the inside is warm and inviting! There are huge bags of coffee from all over the world, ready to be roasted. I recommend grabbing a bag to take home today. read more

Staff not wearing masks, not making customers wear them either. Not cool, also in violation of state orders.
