The Coffee Trader

In town from Wisconsin. I always enjoy trying a local coffee shop. Nice historic house, lovely front porch with surrounding gardens and my iced latte was delicious.

Stopped in on Memorial Day. This coffee spot is in an old converted two-story building. It has lots of seating in converted rooms on both floors, and the porch and side yard area. Bathrooms look like original, but get the job done. Service was prompt and friendly. The Americano was good, with a discounted coffee refill. It's convenient to the old downtown, a nearby RV Park, and the Saturday farmer's market. Homey place with old-fasioned vibe. Parking may be tight on busy days. Overall, a Two Thumbs up!

Coffee Trader is the coffee shop of choice in Montrose. I prefer the "old" shop, across the street from The Horsefly, which is a converted old house. One thing I love about it is that you can buy a (microwaved) breakfast sandwich any time of the day, long after that place with the golden arch (the one in town only has one arch, for some reason) will tell you "sorry, we're serving our lunch menu now." The coffee is excellent too, of course.

In nice weather, it has a very pleasant, mostly shaded outdoor patio frequented by a flock of song birds. And the house has all sorts of nooks in it to settle into. My only quibble is that when it's busy, it can be hard to find an inside table that isn't within earshot of another occupied table, and that often drives me to sit outside.

Want to give a special shout out to my dudes Colbi and Xavier always going above and beyond to be of thee most excellent service. But also a special thanks to Hanna, Owen, Devin, and last but certainly not least miss Faith. This team of coffee connoisseurs knows their stuff and have an excellent attitude while showing it off.

Cute place and my grandkids loved the muffins. I hate giving bad reviews but the latte was horrible. I even tried adding sweetener and just had to dump the whole thing out. My grandson also dumped out his flavored ice tea. If you like good roasted beans and quality coffee this is not the place, so sorry to say. I have tried several times through the years and it appears to be getting worse.

Good coffee. And awesome little coffee shop in all. One star less for the lack of smiles and friendliness. But still recommend 👍🏽

Coffee was luke warm and burnt smelling, when I expressed my thoughts to the person behind the counter he told me “ I’m the owner and I doubt you have a great palate”. Wow, well then, I guess I’ll be leaving.///////REPLY: I have only ever left two other reviews, both of them negative yes but to say this is my hobby with two other reviews ever is funny. I should take the time to write positive reviews but 99% of the places I go are good and I would be writing reviews every day. I only take the time when a business is exceptionally rude or poor. Try and get it together.

Cute place and nice folks but the coffee is not really all that great. Kinda tastes burnt and lack of flavor unfortunately.

Great atmosphere and delicious coffee. Tried their blended snow King and an iced quad mocha. The outdoor patio was shaded and we enjoyed having our dogs be able to join us. Lots of indoor seating as well.

Nice converted house. I ordered a cappuccino to go and the staff were very friendly. The place seemed like a great spot to hang out, study, or work. There were rooms upstairs as well as downstairs and on the porch.
