If you like lattes with house-made syrups or natural sweetener options, this is the place to go in Gunnison. We spent over a month in the Sunny Gunni area and we always came back to this specific coffee shop. The wife likes the lattes with the house-made syrups, I found myself getting the Americanos. Americanos aren't usually my go to, but these were consistently the best ones I've ever had. Quality is top notch at this roaster. We've tried the others mind you, but Tributary has our business. read more

Came here for a quick but necessary coffee/tea stop. They are very friendly and quick. The inside is very cute and they had lots of beautiful art for sale. I got an iced matcha with lavender which was good. They have paper straws that held up well while I had my drink and industrially compostable iced drink cups. I have no idea if there is an industrial compost facility in Gunnison but I I'll bring mine to the one near me. read more

Good aesthetics. Stopped in on our way home from camping because I had the maple pecan scone a few years ago and had to see if they still had it. They did and it's still amazing. Only thing to note was that I asked for an iced latte with 2% milk and I watched them put half skim half whole milk in it. But also it still tasted really good?? read more

Yummy vegan breakfast burrito with black beans, kale, sweet potatoes and quinoa. Super tasty. Breakfast biscuit egg sandwich was also good. Biscuit was super fluffy which made a great vessel for the eggs, cheese and ham. Coffees are also good. They make their own homemade syrups, which is such a nice treat. read more

We stopped here on our way home from Crested Butte on a Sunday AM and it was absolutely packed with a line almost out the door. The staff was super friendly and prices seemed pretty reasonable. We got an iced latte, iced mocha, a bacon and sausage breakfast burritos. The coffees were good and the burritos were decent! read more

Great coffee, homemade syrups, and they roast their beans. Pastries made with high quality ingredients and delicious. Highly recommend. Also, cute interior with seating. read more

Fantastic service and coffee. The Golden Milk is probably the best healing tonic you can find but add some coffee and you get the best of both worlds! Great working space to connect and good speed WiFi. read more

Dropped by for a quick caffeine fix for my husband (cold brew), while I ordered an iced chai latte. The service was extremely quick for our orders and people seemed friendly. It wasn't too crowded and seemed like a nice place to get some work done. My husband enjoyed his cold brew, he said it had more flavor than some of the other ones he's had. My chai was not too sweet and a bit spicy. Overall, solid drinks and would come here to order again. read more

Just had the most delish Golden Milk latte with coconut milk and honey! Journey is awesome!!

There was a line to get it, but that typically means it's worth it, and it definitely was! Kind staff who even let us sample the kombucha of the moment -- just get it if you're a kombucha person. Lattes were great. Nice selection of bakery items, but didn't try this time around. Classic coffeeshop atmosphere with a pleasant outdoor seating area. Highly recommend! read more

My favorite coffee shop in the gunnison county! They even roast their own coffee beans with this nifty coffee roaster that they have in the front. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. They have lots of pastry options and have two Gf options (Gf chocolate chip cookie and Gf Bundt cake - both so good!). read more

Such good coffee... roasted here. I didn't have to add any sugar to the latte. Chill atmosphere. Patio out back. Only come here! read more

Simple small dishes, tasty fancy coffee, reasonable efficiency and a fun little part of town. There isn't a ton for me to say since this was just a quick coffee and light snack stop. The quiche I ordered was quite tasty, though not very huge. The coffee was on point. The staff seemed friendly and hard at work. If you need a cup of coffee this seems like a great stop! read more

Best coffee shop in Gunni by far! The pretty latte art always brings me so much joy and all of their coffee drinks are amazing. The patio out back is so nice on a sunny day and in ambiance inside is always so cozy! read more

We spent a few nights in Gunnison between Christmas and New Year's to ski Monarch Mountain. This is my new favorite Gunnison coffee shop! We stopped all three mornings on the way up to Monarch. I'm pretty particular about my espresso beans / drinks and Tributary did a perfect job with my cappuccino three days in a row. My husband used to own a coffee shop in Winter Park, CO and has similar rave reviews for his taste coffee each day. We also had the opportunity to try their grab and go turkey sandwich, GF ham/swiss quiche and sausage burrito...all were fantastic! The burrito is huge and made two breakfasts for us. We look forward to our next visit to Gunnison and Tributary Coffee. In the meantime, I will enjoy the beans I brought home to use in my Moka Pot! THANK YOU! read more

I visited Tributary three times during Ride the Rockies. Two mornings during the event and a third time heading out of town. Tributary is a great new coffee shop in Gunnison. The food and coffee was perfect. They also were jamming despite having been overrun by hungry fueling riders. They even opened earlier during Ride the Rockies to be able to handle the crush. They did extremely well. We will be back! read more

The service and the breakfast burrito were SO GOOD!!!! But the dirty chai just wasn't it. Needs more spice flavors that go good with their espresso, it just tasted like they clashed but I'm sure the chai and lattes alone are delicious!!! The only thing that was took away from the experience was the bees on the outside patio but I mean it was the season!!! Lol read more

Adorable coffee shop, with immaculate vibes and top tier beverages. The egg biscuit sand-which is a must get. Super friendly staff and the barista named Lily is amazing. If she's there, she definitely deserves a big tip! Worth a visit if in Gunni! read more

Great chai! Love the service and love the environment. I was able to work a bit on the back patio and enjoying the chai.

A great casual coffee shop in the heart of the town. The coffee was great, the pastry I had so/so - but not bad. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I left an overall happy customer. Will return. read more

What a friendly, wonderful coffee shop! Travis at the counter was so welcoming with his big smile and energizing yet soothing energy. He thoughtfully picked a non-dairy milk option for my drink and remembered the following customer's complex "usual." The Dinosaur expressed doubt about the oat milk that went into my Golden Milk (try it - it's indeed a beautiful golden color, wonderfully spicy, and just a touch sweet - a good less-sweet, caffeine-free alternative to chai). A minute after my drink was done, a shot glass of extra oat milk appeared on the bar for the Dinosaur to sample. This attention to detail and making sure everyone was served as well as possible really added to the welcoming atmosphere. Hot drinks are served in mugs with a saucer. Cold drinks are in glasses with a paper straw. A customer concerned about the sweetness of her mocha learned that the chocolate syrup is made in-house with less sugar than is found in commercial syrups. Another customer was advised on which non-dairy option would pair best with her coffee. The space is high-ceilinged and well-lit, the music relaxing and unobtrusive, and there is a thoughtful variety of seating options: tables, bar stools, comfy chairs around a coffee table. Electric outlets abound. People were working on laptops, reading, chatting with friends, and, in my case, knitting the rainy day away. The Dinosaur was not sold on oat milk as I was, but he did enjoy his tall glass of cold brew. read more

Lovely ladies working the counter. Great morning attitude. We were passing through for one night and chose this as our morning wake-up over lousy hotel coffee. Great atmosphere. read more

I just stopped here for the first time and the coffee was amazing; probably the best in Gunnison. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town. read more

Passing through Gunnison and was very delighted to find this modern coffee house with 3rd wavish coffee drinks. I ordered a cappuccino and their default was a 6 oz cup served dry. Very smooth. I would expect this kind of a modern coffee house in Denver, Boulder or Aspen but definitely wasn't expecting this in Gunnison. Awesome coffee and very friendly service. Will definitely be back again when I pass through in the future. read more

Great place for quick coffee. The staff was super. The coffee was fresh and tasty. When ever I am back to Gunnison, CO I will be back. Keep up the strong work read more

Cute place. They have oat milk, quick, and friendly. I wish I could say that about the town though, a bit snooty but whatever. read more

Can this place be closer? After sitting in construction traffic for 45 mins with a little more to go on our drive, we stopped by this adorable cafe in such a kind town. My husband and I both enjoyed our drinks and the coffee was absolutely amazing. Not sure if it was because we had mediocre coffee in the morning, but this was such an delicious pick-me-up. I got the iced lavender latte and my husband got a mocha latte. If ever back in town, we'll hang out here a bit longer and make it a stop. I regret not buying the bags of coffee there! So good! read more
