The Coffee Trader

Great coffee, great service, great atmosphere. I have had arrangements many times to meet people here for a discussion about community matters. Without fail I have always had the pleasure of running into other people I know and love. Often times people I haven't seen since pre-Covid. Who could ask more from a coffee shop.

I cannot wrap my mind around the fact that people are willing to wait in long lines and pay $10+ for some mid chain coffee (ahem Starbucks) when this place exists! It’s fast, local, has friendly staff, and probably the best coffee Ive had in Grand Junction (not to mention their love for furry friends that come through the drive through). I have been getting coffee from here AT LEAST once a week for the past 9 months and am yet to be disappointed!

I like the vibe of this place a lot, it's a good spot to spread out and work, but they only let you use their wi-fi for 2 hours. The two cold coffees I've gotten here are good--like, good without all the necessary sugar. It's got lovely natural light and comfy seats. This is probably my pick in town to go work on stuff!

They are very friendly people and they make a good chai latte vanilla! So good. Best place to go.

My favorite place to get coffee in Grand Junction! The employees are always so friendly and make my coffee delicious every time 😋 they have lots of tables to sit at with friends and relax or if you’re in a hurry they are always very fast as well even when there’s a line. Definitely a must try if you’re in town!

Great locally owned shop. I would recommend them over their big box competitors any day!!

The risk of going with local vs Starbucks on a road trip.
I got a freeze caramel drink and it separated within seconds and taste bitter. My boyfriend got a simple Americano and it taste burnt and old.
Really disappointed we were already in the highway or we would have turned around and got a refund.

Great coffee and a nice/modern atmosphere to knock some work out.

Coffee Trader has the BEST staff. They always greet me with a smile, and it is obvious the drinks are made at a high quality. The atmosphere and aesthetic is inviting; really is a great place to sit down and read the paper.

Came in at 2:20 Sunday for coffee and dessert. The service was great, and the food was also good. However, when my cake was placed in a to go container, I asked for a plate. The young man told me they weren't giving out plates any more because they wanted to get out at 6:00 pm when they close. So we dined in on paper plate and cups. The closing time was still 3 1/2 hours away. Is this shift of workers just lazy, or is this actually sanctioned by the owners?
