They have really good coffee and the Main Street location is so charming. The service is always friendly. Prices are reasonable. Has become my favorite coffee shop in town. read more

Decent spot with quality coffee. The staff person who took our order seemed a bit inexperienced but no major deal. Nice atmosphere with seating upstairs and downstairs and a book exchange/ little library on the top floor. The coffee was good and not unreasonably priced. Chill spot. One of the better places we visited in Montrose. read more

Needed some coffee and breakfast before our adventure in Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. 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! read more

Really good decaf Americano. I can only have decaf but I love good coffee and it was fantastic here!

We were kicking off Sunday morning on our way back from a weekend on the west side of the state. The previous morning we did drive thru of a national chain out of convenience and it was not a pleasant experience. In the morning I need my caffeine and we wanted breakfast burritos. This checked all the boxes. Indicator one of good coffee and eats? A line to the door. The line moved swiftly and the service was pleasant and efficient. I got my large latte. Ahhhhh! We both enjoyed our breakfast burritos. They were amply packed with ingredients. We both had sausage. If I find myself in the area again, I will have a go to for my breakfast. read more

We ordered two breakfast burritos and two hot teas. The teas were delicious. The breakfast burritos were weird. They kind of mushed everything together in a soggy tortilla. I think they made the filling ahead of time and put them into a tortilla and microwaved horrible food there we go them. They were awful. We kept having to repeat our order to the person at the register. It's like he couldn't understand anything we were saying. There was no way to find out when our stuff was ready. We just had to keep checking the counter. Really bad customer service. Horrible food. read more

Drink recommendation: Dark Chocolate + hazelnut syrup = mocha mountain drink on the menu. It's amazing. Scone: it doesn't have the typical scone shape. It's a little bit too sweet, but overall ok. Avoid at all cost: breakfast sandwiches. It's McDonald's equivalent (or worse?). You get 2 pieces of burger buns (I don't think they are brioches), hams and over colored cheddar cheeses. The sandwich looks pretty sad. read more

Loved this place! I stumbled across it while looking for a place to work remotely. Super cute cafe with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Coffee is also really good. Definitely recommend if you are in the area. read more

This place is great to work from. I sat at the outside patio and later relocated to their upstairs seating - the upstairs was nice and quiet, felt like I had a personal office to work from.

This adorable coffee shop is not to be missed! We ended our girls weekend in Ouray by stopping here for a quick nibble and a good cup of coffee. They delivered both perfectly! My friend and I both got their breakfast burritos, which came out warm and delicious and comforting. I actually got black tea with a little cream and sugar and my friend got a cup of coffee. We were both happy with our choices. We sat outside and enjoyed our meal on a perfect fall morning. There were a lot of people, great sign right?! Might I say their area of town is beautiful as well! I can confidently say I will be back to Montrose and will absolutely stop here. read more

Coffee Trader was a great little stop in Montrose. We visited for a few days and were able to stop in for coffee and breakfast that was great. They have great iced coffee, good hot coffee and amazing breakfast sandwiches. I got a normal drip coffee which was good, not the greatest, but a good cup of coffee. I also had their ham, egg and cheese breakfast croissant which was EXCELLENT. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the place has both indoor and outdoor seating and plenty of it. There is good WiFi and just good vibes. Overall a great place to stop for a quick cup of coffee or hang out for a little longer work or study session! read more

U Gotta try if in town, Great Coffee, Great Breakfast sandwiches. Great Service, maybe a little wait, but what do You expect when they are crafting Your drink right then and there.

The Coffee Trader - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montrose, Colorado

On the corner of Main Street and Junction Avenue, is a 2-story Victorian. I would be remiss to say this is an ordinary Victorian home in the small town of Montrose, but it's not. In fact, it's a coffee "house" in the true sense and there is something quite special about this place that sets it apart from others around town. Let's begin with the outside where there is a spacious covered porch, surrounded by beautifully manicured grounds. As you reach the foot of the porch steps and look to your right, you'll find a vine-covered archway that takes you into a private and cozy patio with tables and market umbrellas. In the center is a big tree wrapped with twinkle lights that creates a warm and beautiful evening glow. Now step inside and grab a seat by the window or plant yourself at one of the many tables while you admire artwork by locals adorning the walls (which by the way many are for sale). Better yet, if you come here for a meeting, head upstairs to one of two rooms and get your computers out because they have free Wi-Fi all around. If you simply want some quiet time, pull a book off the shelf and get cozy by the window while sipping your green tea. I've been coming to the Coffee Trader for a number of years and in many ways I've seen it evolve. The owners are continually updating the place and doing whatever they can to make it your coffee home away from home. The coffee, tea, smoothies, etc. are always good, not to mention the baked goods and breakfast burritos. I've tried many Chai Latte's and I gotta say no one beats the Coffee Trader...they are by far the absolute best! The Cinnamon scones are to die for! The Coffee Trader is always warm, friendly, inviting and relaxing...a daily meet and greet place for the local folks. Sometimes two, maybe three times a day...I know, because when I'm in town, I'm one of them. read more

Cool spot. Was an old house before. Place was busy when we went in the morning. It's a good sign. Had a cold brew and a hot vanilla latte. Good stuff! read more

Love coffee trader now and always have! Their freezers are my favorite (with the black canyon being my fav), but they also make a great chai latte. The spot on Main Street is the best place to meet up with friends or for a business meeting (especially if it's summer and you can sit in the garden). And I'm loving the drive thru on the one on Townsend for when I need my coffee fix quickly! read more

Coffee was amazing! It was so good I had to go back multiple times while in Montrose for vacation! Staff was great too!

I'm a tourist and I was looking for a place to enjoy a cup of coffee while sitting outside watching the world go by. I found it! Friendly barista, great selection of drinks and eats, local art on the walls (I really loved the watercolors), plenty of varied indoor seating and outdoor seating. We'll go back before leaving town! read more

The scones were so scrumptious! I stop now every time we pass through just for those haha.. The coffee was great and the staff very congenial.. Thanks ! read more

Wonderful espresso!!! You know a place is good when the locals are regulars and hanging out. The barista remembered us each day after our first visit and he welcomed us warmly each day. I had the espresso breve and Hubster had a mocha (no whip). They were each made very well. Nothing better in a cold Colorado morning than an excellent hot drink! Wish these folks were in Southern California! read more

We got two blended coffees (classic and islander). Pretty good, but they separated really quickly and became icy. Whipped cream is "real" and is a nice addition to the freeze. They have puppy cups for your pooches. Super friendly, fast service. -1 star bc I was hoping for more of a milkshake consistency; other than that, I would recommend. read more

A cute little place to grab some coffee and even a bite to eat. We were just passing through from Grand Junction to the Springs and enjoyed the atmosphere of this quaint little coffee shop. The employees were friendly and helpful. Stop in, I'm sure you'll love it!! read more

I live walking distance to the Coffee Trader on Main Street, that said, I've been there many, many times. Dee and Phong are wonderful people and the food and coffee are wonderful. It has a cool vibe inside and a very large and shaded outdoor area to sit and "coffee klatch" with friends. Everything is always super clean. They have a large conference room on the top floor as well. I usually switch between the ciabatta breakfast sandwiches and the croissant sandwiches. They really are very good. I've been to two other locations and they are great as well. A++ read more

Cute little coffee spot near downtown Montrose. We got a dirty chai (chai with 2 shots of espresso) and a regular latte.

My husband and I had their coffee. It was pretty good and the workers were friendly, but the sausage burrito was nasty. I would never order their food again, but we would order their coffee. read more
