Love everything about this adorable coffee shop! We stumbled across it on a walk to our hotel and can’t believe we found such a gem! So much character! The staff are super friendly and the gift shop has the funnest little gifts! Next time I’m in town I’ll definitely return!

Quirky and eclectic coffee shop with lots of options! theyve got breakfast and lunch along with pastries. I got an iced coffee and they have coffee ice cubes (love that), but they have tons of other drinks. I went on a Monday morning and it wasnt too busy but apparently it gets pretty busy on the weekends so you can order ahead online. workers were super friendly, inviting and attentive. Ill definitely be back next time Im in town!

Better than Starbucks by far!!!! I commute a lot through junction and this is where I always stop. The food is amazing, the coffee is awesome and doesn’t taste burnt and the baked goods are all fresh. Yum!! Also another bonus is that it’s right off the highway and close to a gas station!!!! Go here! Get a punch card

This place was awesome, and the lattes are great! The redhead lady that works the register was wonderful.... and theyve got all kinds of cool and inappropriate things I almost couldnt leave LOL... I did buy a few things and Im posting pictures of those things...but, the one thing I wanted the most was this little stuffed octopus for my cat, and it was not for sale.... So disappointed in that... I guess I will have to find it on eBay

Spending your money here is a losing proposition! I believe that an establishment’s going for counter-culture cool and ending up freakish doesn’t earn counter culture points. Octopus Coffee on Horizon Dr. in Grand Junction, Colorado advertises as a cute and homey spot for fresh food and a great cup of joe. Unfortunately, it is dirty and cramped inside and their food display case was almost empty! They have candles and other items for sale that are not kid / family appropriate including an obvious sign on the wall mocking God that reads, “God was my Copilot until we crashed and I ate him” (see photo.) Lots of better options, recommend steering clear of this one.

Extremely friendly service with amazing fall decor! Delicious pumpkin latte and pumpkin sweet roll 🤤

Vegan burrito saved the day!! A quick stop off the interstate, order online ahead of time and it was ready when we arrived. Ps the one star review complaining about the decor is what made us choose this spot :) If that’s all you can complain about….

Great little coffee spot. The burrito was awesome. Quirky items to buy inside

Funky is fine. Down to Earth is a plus. I like Octopuses (and squid too).So why the 1 Star Review??Enjoy your freedom by finding better places to go than Octopus Coffee in Grand Junction Colorado. There are many better options that are also near the airport, along Horizon Drive, down 12th Street and also down 7th Street.4 photos are attached. See how the table was so close to the bench that I had to sit side-saddle because my legs would not fit under the table. I could have rearranged the furniture, but I like to be respectful and experience a vendor’s offering as it is presented.The photo of the counter shows how cluttered and hectic the Octopus Coffee environment feels. I like color and vitality, but a jumble-tangled mess of stuff leaves us lacking a nice gazing area while talking, sipping and munching. Too cluttered and lacking connection, style or real funkiness. It is also awkward that there is no menu / price board and they make you stare at office-sized paper menus at the register. Now I understand why so many reviewers mention slow lines. From hotel for takeout, ice cubes, vanilla cinnamon rolls, bagel w/ cream cheese, baked goods or a veggie sammie it is not worth the trip.The coat rack of cosplay-Goth stuff is weird. It is all cheap plastic, a silly version of a viking helmet, a plastic candle, witch’s hat and a mask. Why not spend something and give the guests real vintage / carnival quirky items to view, if that is the decorative angle of owner’s tastes? Odd decor lacking quality and message. Remember, both octopuses and squid are high-traction dressers (lots of suction) so, as you secretly suspect, no self-respecting octopus wants those dumb things.Our beverages were okay. There is better down the road, every way you turn – there’s the Starbucks on 12th and Patterson too. And those establishments accomplish a true respect to marine life. They don’t abuse the octopus in an attempt to lure unsuspecting citizen-coffee-shop-patrons into anti-octopus activity. Don’t be an easy mark, some suckers are easily baited into this fanciful misrepresentation of the REAL SUCKERS OF THE SEA. Don’t be a dumbo!Notice in the photos, the cup I was given wore a pink lid and a butterfly adorned heat shield. While I support individual’s use of freedom, pushing lady gear on men is both tacky & cheesy. Coffee outfits that honor preference, rather than weirdly asserting their message both have better style and more effectively represent personal choice. Original funky local coffee shops can be better than the large chain stores, but they need to be safe and clean and funky rather than evil weird.

Went in for coffee on Sunday morning, as we were in town moving my daughter into college. What a wonderful place! The breakfast burritos are made to order and were amazing!! The cinnamon roll was fantastic! And the lattes were heaven! Loved the funky eclectic vibe of the place. Loved all the unique products for sale and the decor. This place is sorely needed in a place like Grand Junction. And the staff. What a wonderful group of young women! They wished my daughter “good luck” on the beginning of her college career. What a great group of young hard working professionals. If you are in Grand Jct and looking for something other than bland coffee served with a side of average swing by here!! We will be back.

Got a sandwich and iced chai to go. Great service and lots of options. Chai was pretty good. Even the spicy option was a bit sweet for me. Really wanted a bagel sandwich but they didnt have any bagels so I got a vegetarian sandwich instead - really good! Sourdough was perfectly toasted and their shmear is delightful. Would stop in again for sure!

Very neat tidy establishment. Was greeted right away as I entered by friendly hospitable people 👍

Love the atmosphere and the staff is super friendly. Staff seems to really enjoy their work and they know customers by first name which tells me theyre doing something right. The coffee was awesome they know how to use spices for that warm flavor and a unique taste to your coffee. Their breakfast is no joke, its delicious and hearty. Definitely a place Ill go back to and recommend to anyone who enjoys a truly well made cup of coffee.

Takeout only at this time. Located in a dead or dying strip mall so plenty of morning parking. Breakfast sandwiches were made fresh as was the coffee. We walked to the edge of the mall and sat at tables of the local bar. Be sure to clean up after yourself.

Good coffee as well as a tasty breakfast burrito served as a bowl.

Ordered two breakfast burritos, one split, paid 50 cents extra it wasn’t split, says 2 napkins even and got one napkin for both burritos. Ordered an extra large chai and got a large, and it had no sweetner. Definitely will not go back, the breakfast burritos were pretty average at best.

Love this place! Wish they had one in Denver. The coffees were good and the working man burrito was amazing.

Fun, cute, quirky coffee shop! It was bumping early Saturday morning and the line was worth the wait. The staff was super friendly and bubbly; made the wait entertaining :) We stayed at the Grand Vista Hotel and happened to notice the coffee shop. So glad we did. Definitely get the cinnamon roll!!

What a great experience. We spent time in Grand Junction and were fortunate to find this spot. Love the coffee ice cubes for iced coffee and that lemon blueberry loaf is awesome.

Best coffee shop with the nicest people. Awesome breakfast menu and a great community vibe. Even if you’re just passing through, this place is worth the stop.

If you find yourself in Grand Junction, Colorado, looking for a place to get well-caffeinated and have a really good meal, this is the place.They have a decent sized menu, with some tasty combinations you dont find just anywhere. They have a good selection of coffee drinks, and they have frozen coffee balls instead of regular ice cubes so your iced drinks dont get watered down. Its also a really cute place, and the people there were super nice. It was a great way to start our day.Theyre in the middle of a mini mall, kind of hard to see. Just look for the big sign on the corner that says ESPRESSO.

Coffee was pretty good. I enjoyed it. They were very friendly and helpful. Even gave me restaurant options on the way to Denver. I had the vanilla latte. Good place to pick up a coffee. Didn’t get a chance for breakfast

Great coffee and chai tea. Big and delicious burritos. The scones are very good but the carrot zucchini bread and banana bread are totally awesome. But the best thing is the positive energy of the staff. They make u feel welcome and at home the minute u walk in!!

Went on a Sunday morning, not busy so youd expect to get good service, but unfortunately it was short staffed and the employee seemed to be taking it out on us, paid 11 dollars for a burrito but received a flat tortilla folded around a handful of old eggs. Too overrated and focused on the quirky aspect rather than the actual food and drink aspect. gave two stars cause at least the smoothie was ok.

Very good coffee shop. The staff was fun and nice. I love coffee shops with good coffee that arent a huge chain.

Yummy drinks and also delicious poppy seed turkey salad. Cute stuff too like stickers, cards, friendly service

Great coffees with pink lids to boot! Breakfast burritos are good.

Our drinks were watery and had little to no flavor or sweetness. Also the merchandise was overpriced. The shop is cute and quirky though and has very nice staff!

Octopus Coffee is a great place to start your morning. My party ordered a Cuban cafe breve and an extra large Earl Grey tea. The prices are roughly comparable to Starbucks, but at Octopus, you definitely dont feel like just a number.The cafe itself wasnt super busy, which was nice, and it felt very cozy with a good atmosphere.The staff was engaging and very friendly, and made us feel right at home. They worked to make sure they understood exactly what we wanted.The coffee (a Cuban cafe breve) was nice and strong, but also sweet with the caramel tone that comes from brown sugar, and with the half & half it was like heaven in a cup. I may have tried a sip. ;)The tea was great because they offer an extra large size, which is quite substantial (see picture). So I got a lot of Earl Grey for my buck, which is something I like. They also had milk options available if you dont want half & half in your tea.Glad we visited this independent coffee shop!

Josh was awesome. I came in a little grumpy because I wandered into town on festival weekend. I had no idea what that meant coming into it and had little sleep due to crazy people screaming all night long. He got me hooked up with much needed breakfast and coffee. Considering I’m gluten-free he was able to provide me a few options and the spicy cream cheese is amazing.

Best breakfast burritos Ive ever had. The homemade cream cheese spreads are awesome. Scones are out of this world... great flavor and somehow crumbly but soft, even after sitting in a bag in the car all day. Friendly, kind, and fast service. Lots of interesting latte flavors and other drinks. We will be back.

Great mask-friendly coffee shop, with wide selection of drinks plus bites. Friendly staff and discounts for your own container. 🤩

Love a morning coffee at the pus. They’re may be a line but it’ll be worth it if u are just patient. Staff are great.

Such friendly, welcoming staff! Passed through and grabbed a couple coffees and sandwiches... the sandwiches were some of the better I’ve had! Such a fun coffee menu too

Amazing coffee and breakfast! Great vegetarian options and the staff were very sweet.

This delightful little gem is a must visit for coffee lovers and breakfast fans alike. A laid back, down home atmosphere with friendly staff and good coffee. Will definitely be back!

Great food and service. Staff very friendly. I cant wait to go back.

Found this gem while passing through town. Prices were reasonable, and the options were great. Staff convinced me to try one of their homemade cinnamon rolls and you definitely should too!

Really cool, small place. They pull a good shot. Employees are friendly. Lots of funky merch to distract you while you wait, but the wait wasnt long.

Great little breakfast place with a superb staff. I had the burrito that had sausage and potatoes and loved it. My wifes oatmeal was delicious and had a good amount of add-ins. She said the coffee was great too. (So good we went back a second time to get her a coffee as we were leaving town)

Delicious breakfast and and amazing coffee

Coffee was good and the service was nice. The sausage burrito we ordered didnt have hardly anything in it and it was $8.50. I dont mind paying for good food but I think they ran out of sausage, eggs and cabbage.

Absolutely love this place. Not only is the coffee and food delicious the employees are amazing. Everyone there has always been super friendly and helpful. The owner is amazing and made cookies that were all donated to our seniors who are in assisted living facilities at Christmas time! Plus having a 5 ⭐ rating from the health department for their strict adherence to Covid regulations. Would recommend a million times! Wish I could give a rating higher than 5! Keep doing what youre doing!!!!

This place is a hidden gem. It became our breakfast spot for the few days we stayed in GJ for Country Jam. Alexis, the owner, is so fun and friendly as is the rest of her staff and the regulars. The coffee is great and the food is absolutely delicious. I ordered the OG Veggie Burrito two days in a row, it was so good!

Amazing ! Ordered online and picked up at the window. Was ready in 5 ish minutes. Friendly service with a smile. My picture is a Mexican Mocha and the Hot Mess Wrap. Very very yummy !!! Will be back when we are near one again.

Love the place, the Chai tea was delicious, the cappuccino was was great! Didnt get the batistas name but she makes sure you love your drink before you leave! The pink lids and butterfly coffee sleeves were awesome! Thank you!

Great coffee. Super nice staff. Close to the highway, so treat yourself.

We had this coffee halfway through a 10 day roadtrip and now that the trip is complete I can say it was without a doubt the best coffee we had the entire time. We placed our order ahead of time and had a small wait after we arrived due to the fact there were only a few people working but we were happy to wait and support a local business. When we got our coffee and breakfast burritos we realized the wait was more than worth it. The lattes were flavored well and the burritos were hot and a very filling breakfast. Definitely worth waiting for.

This place is everything I look for in coffee and breakfast, super unique ingredients and flavors, food made with care and thought, from the spices like cardamom and fennel in the lattes instead of cheap store bought syrups to the sandwiches and burritos made with a huge variety of veggies, meats, and cream cheeses. I absolutely loved the personality that you can see in this place within the friendly staff, the dog cookie given to our puppy, the pink coffee lids, and salads carefully packed in a cup with a biodegradable fork! The covid friendly walk up window was also a plus! We will definitely be back for some amazing pastries and more coffee before leaving town! Wish we could stay longer to experience more of this exceptional place!

Super fun people work here. And coffee options are fun and quality! Love the gift options too!

So I ended up going in as they were closing for the day but the lady at the counter was super nice and helpful and got me a coffee despite the huge inconvenience I surely caused her. My apologies and eternal gratitude to her! I will definitely return!

Fun shop with good coffee and quick food options made in house. Lots of fun merch and miscellanea to look at while waiting.

Coffee was VERY amazing and VERY fresh. Reason for one star is the price... They are charging Starbucks(if not a smidge higher) for cups that are not of the same size(slightly smaller) Also taking a star away because they use square as the method of payment which is fine until they are giving you the look at the tip screen. $17 for two cups of (good) coffee only to feel obligated to tip 15% on top of that. Also google maps was not very accurate. Businesses will have a certain amount of $s next to the name in the buisness indicating how pricey the place is. We chose to go there thinking that it wasnt going to be very expensive since it only had 1 $ next to it and not $$ or $$$ indicating VERY pricey. Over all, GREAT coffee, cute little ma and pa hole in the wall feel to it, but VERY expensive. Would I recommend? Yes. Would I be a repeat customer? MAYBE.

I was in Junction for just a quick visit and wanted to find a tasty, quick, takeout lunch. Octopus Coffee overdelivered! We ordered online from the airport, hopped in our rental, and our meal was ready for us when we got there. What was most impressive about the experience was the super fine-tuning of everything on their online system - add, subtract anything from paninis and burritos, and dial in coffee to a level previously unimagined (e.g. 3 shots, 1 decaf or 4 shots, 3 decaf!) and they even offer a breve option if you want your drink made with half and half. Truly a place after my own heart.It was served in a safe, distanced, and friendly manner and was all super tasty. Id give 6 stars if I could!🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Ok breakfast sandwich ok decafe americano

I love love love this place. I hav gone out of my way every time Im near grand junction to come here and have a veggie burrito ( filled with actual veggies) and a fantastic coffee.Also. Theyre stickers are unbeatable.

Traveling through town and wanted to start with some coffee. This so so cute with so many choices! Yummy banana bread, mochas and frozen drinks! Everyone was so friendly and sweet as well!

Coffee & vegetarian breakfast burritos are very very good! Im sure everything else is top notch, too. So delicious, we stopped by two days in a row. :)

DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT EAT HERE. I just ate a, what they described as a sausage and egg sandwich on sourdough bread. I mean literally 30 mins ago. The sandwich tasted weird, so I could not continue eating it. I immediately began to feel nausea. And still I am not feeling well. I feel like I need to force myself to vomit in order to expel the sandwich or go to the hospital.. my husbands burrito tasted the same and he could not finish it. Something is not right about the food or the way it is prepared..... 11:33am update: I had to make myself vomit to try and feel better. I felt like I was drugged or something, but so so weak. I had to stay in a few more hours before getting back on the road. Never ever again will I eat here. Those of you who loved it, good for you, but I had a different experience.

Service is out of this world good! Easy to get to from the Intestate, worth the time, baked goods and peach iced tea didnt disappoint.

Looks amazing.. was worried about the avocado in everything.

Overpriced breakfast food with little flavor. My iced mocha was chunky (not mixed) and the entire coffee shop is dirty and cluttered. (Clean your ceilings and walls guys!)

Wow! This place was great! Just traveling through town and we looked for some place other than the typical chain restaurant. We had the Octopus Garden sandwich and the Hot Turkey panini. A salad came with the panini, and we chose the homemade poppy dressing. Everything was unique and absolutely delicious. Highly recommended! The iced chai was also great. Perfect spice blend and not too sweet.A plus for travelers- this is not far off the interstate. Super easy to find.

Fun coffee shop with delicious coffee. Super friendly service too.

Cute coffee shop with lots of funny keychains and stickers you can buy, as well as great coffee. The staff was funny and friendly and fast

I stop in Junction for work and saw this place on the way to my hotel. I work overnight so on the way back, I stopped in for breakfast. It was a fabulous experience!! First of all, staff is amazingly pleasant. Secondly, food was made to order (this means you wait a bit) and AMAZING. Last, but not least, the coffee was SUPERB. It is nice to see a small business with happy employees, smiling (and singing) through this pandemic and all of its restrictions.I will definitely be stopping here again before leaving town, and I think Ive found my new coffee spot for when I have to travel to the western slope.

Tons of coffee options, including a great iced Americano. Scones and cinnamon rolls are off the charts! PS- cute logo:)

Amazing! Like others have said, the employees are great. The iced peach latte with oat milk was the best latte Ive ever had, so good. The OG veggie burrito was fresh and delicious.

Would give it five stars for the food, but took it down because of the coffee. Im enough of barista to know that my cortado was not a real cortado and the espresso not good.

Bangin coffee and food.. and always beautiful older women here.. (if your into that😉)

Awesome little spot! Excellent meat-free options! Cuuute coffee shop with retro buys (magnets, stickers, coffee cups, etc) the customer service was top-notch too! ☆☆☆☆☆

I cant rave enough about Octopus Coffee! Im in the Denver Metro area and look forward to traveling for work to GJ just so I can go here for breakfast. They make the BEST chai... from scratch and made to order to your spice preference.The staff is super friendly and even when I forgot to ask for almond milk, they still remade my chai and wouldnt take my $ (of course I tipped them VERY well!).This place is amazing and I wish I could patronize them more frequently.

My wife had the Red Vanilla Latte and loved it. I had the expresso and it was bright and robust. Hard to find a place with as many tea options as they had so we were very happy. Staff is super friendly and helpful with suggestions. No inside right now only take away. Pleanty of food items, I recommend ordering online.

Good coffee, good sweets, cute trinkets, great staff

Just stopped here while on our trip back home and Im so glad we did. The pastries are delicious, as is the coffee. Definitely recommend giving this place a try!! So much better than the chain coffee places.

Good coffee and a very unique coffee menu. People were friendly and knowledgeable.

A small, personable and high quality ‘spresso shop. My Double Espresso was delicious: deep, lots of camel brown crema, concentrated and neither bitter nor sour. The peach twist pastry was crispy, lightly sweet, and littered w toasted walnut pieces. delicious. The iced coffee my sister had was improbably amazing- the ice cubes in the mugs were orbs of frozen coffee! Great staff. Highly recommended.

Stopped for coffee and breakfast, GREAT on all counts! Yum!

Delicious breakfast sandwich and latte!

Ordered coffee via the website. Tried the variety pack with three packages of different roasts. Super fast, friendly service and great coffee! Looking forward to ordering again! All the food looks amazing as well!

Great coffee, smoothies and breakfast type snacks.

Grabbed a couple of breakfast burritos and they were fantastic. Going back for more plus coffee today!

LOL NOT THE BEST PICBut I didnt want to lose my Lucky Umbrella.I do not like coffee but I love Hot Coco this place has 2 different kinds!!!I always request extra Chocolate... youd be surprised how many places I dont go back to. Octopus Coffee however has me hooked!Not just because of the awsome Cocoamd food but the amazing owner and her staff.I am new to town and feel like I have friends.I have my own nickname and today they raised my spirits with a lucky umbrella for my job search.I have had food and drinks here they are my new favorite breakfast place.They represent community to its fullest. They know almost everyone that walks up to the window and I have seen them treat everyone as family.They deserve more than 5 stars in my book!PS they have a punch card for $5 or more purchases!

Took the family here while passing through. The coffee was good, the bagel sandwiches were awesome and the wife loved her oatmeal. The staff was very friendly. Highly recommended.

Great coffee and breakfast. Might be a bit of a wait but totally worth it. Staff is very friendly.

Okay so i found this place using maps. The staff were like above and beyond helpful. I am allergic to tomatoes. They made sure that my food was not contaminated. Which is rare cause so often people will forget and then just take them off like the juice from the tomato is all good 😑The coffee was amazing! I also ordered a cookie.. it was terrible. I ate it all up in about 2 minutes 😉I had a breakfast burrito with blue cheese. It was awesome! They even gave me a dog treat and helped me locate an amazing dog park nearby. They were out of cinnamon rolls and made me promise to come back on my way thru but I never made it to try one of their sticky buns. It was sad. 😩Some year ill be back. Thanks for taking such good care of me and my pup! You guys are awesome! ✌

Im usually pretty satisfied with the staff and the products, but today I ordered a vegetables for breakfast burrito and there are no eggs. No veggie spread. It is only cabbage...and its very sad.

Food is delicious and prices are super reasonable! Food is also made very quickly for being made fresh . 10/10 would recommend!

The best scone I ever had. The best cup off coffee in town. Octopus brings the quality!

Nice local business across the parking lot from the hotel Im staying in. Friendly folks

Awesome coffee, really friendly people, and a really cute café (even if you can’t go in yet due to the plague). Would absolutely recommend you stop by and grab a coffee.

I always seek out local coffee shops when Im in a new area, this one seems highly recommended based on the Google reviews. Take it from somebody who drinks a lot of coffee you need MORE THAN TWO shots of espresso in a 24 oz latte. Not to mention iced latte should not be served in a hot paper cup.The Barista was very polite and the latte was tasty. (I had to add 2 extra shots)

Good place to get a cup of coffee, but not spectacular. If you like Covid restrictions then this place is for you. Ordering system is not necessarily reliable so make sure you check to see if your order is being worked on. Hate the fact I cant put in my own amount of sugar as I see fit. Not the shops fault. I hate the Covid restrictions.

Burger King isn’t too far away - I imagine the food here is wonderful, as the cafe held a certain buzz for the 45min or so I was there. Unfortunately, the system that the friendly staff operates under is broken. My meal (and apparently several other customers’) was not served timely or correctly...twice for me. Eventually this (pictured) was delivered and not fully cooked.I believe the problem is the system for taking and delivering orders - which I imagine is a staple for any successful restaurant. There appears to be no standard for staff to execute this, so this is a management/ ownership (I.e. organization) issue.As a small business owner myself, I’m rooting for this cafe! My point is simple: it doesn’t matter how good your food is if people don’t or won’t eat because the service is grossly inadequate.I paid for my undercooked meal, but never ate it. The staff was tipped, and I hope ownership takes this one.

Ocotopus Coffee not only has great coffee and scrumptious treats, they are community oriented and take an active role in making our area a great place to live. Im proud to say they are a part of this community.

Coffee was fresh, rich and tasty. I also ordered a breakfast burrito , Good Morning, and was pleasantly surprised with not only the flavor, but the quality of ingredients used. It is a quaint place with all kinds of fun knick knacks to look at or buy. Good location, easy to order and staff is friendly.

Diamond in the rough that is Grand Junction. Super friendly staff and great coffee.

Great coffee with a nice staff. Dark roast iced coffee was very refreshing.

Great London fog. Awesome service! Fun little place.

I stop here every time I drive through grand junction. The folks are friendly and I really appreciate their social distancing set up. Ive been here 4 times in the past two months and my food and drinks have been 10/10 every single time. Working man is my favorite burrito. I do without eggs because eggs give me a tummy ache and they always accomadate. I appreciate you all! Highly recommend a stop.
