Perk: they have good coffee, and the atmosphere is well-lit with big windows.Questionable: for wifi access, you need to make a purchase before receiving a voucher code (good for 2 hours). 1 purchased item = 1 voucher code, which means you’ll need to split up your items for multiple purchases.There’s room for improvement, though I understand and respect that they’re trying to keep people from posting up all day without spending money (they explained this the moment I walked in).

Great coffee shop in new location. Modern comfortable atmosphere with indoor and outdoor tables. Drive-thru too. Excellent selection of coffee drinks, teas, hot chocolate, baked goods and more.

New building but same quality food and drinks! Breakfast burrito was tasty and tortilla soft. I love that there are several sugar free syrup options! Thank you for that!Only suggestion I have is to move the third list of syrups (on drive - thru) sign somewhere more visible. The speaker is in front of that section of syrups & if youre in a (short) car you cant read them. Of course, the person taking your order will kindly tell you your options, if you ask but it would be nice to be ready to give for order quickly, if there is a line behind you.

Whether you want a quality cup of black coffee, a delectable pastry, or a collectible mug to gift or enjoy yourself, this is the coffee shop you need! All the locations (GJ, Montrose, and Gunnison) are the best on the Western Slope! From the staff to the atmosphere to the endless amount of syrups options {regular and sugar free}, you can’t beat it! Not to mention, most of the locations have a drive thru, making it an even easier choice. Thank you Coffee Trader!

Absolutely love this place delicious coffee and baked goods. The drive-thru is a bonus now. And Terry is the best she always remembers me and welcomes me with a smile. She makes you feel at home instead of another customer. Thanks for serving up amazing coffee and service.

Nicely decorated place and a lot of coffee options. Scones are price right and $3.34 for sm latte is fuuny. Never seen that. It would either be like a whole number but I guess 34 might be someones lucky number 😂 lol. Nice baristas / cashiers and Im so glad 12 oz has 2 shots. I wish the scone has real fruits instead of the can ones but hey its still pretty good and do try em. Love the music too (not too loud and just right!).

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.

They have plenty of sugar free options for flavoring, the only reason I rated 4 stars is they dont have heavy cream for my preferred beverage. Otherwise good service and great taste!

Poor customer service. I just wanted to go in and get my coffee before I hit the road. When I got my coffee it was cold and I asked if I could get it a little warmer but the lady that was working got a terrible attitude with me and was completely disrespectful. Used to love this place, but it is going down hill. Now I have to settle for Starbucks.

I wish I could give them more stars. 5 is not enough to say how amazing Traders is. Their staff is incredibly friendly even when I am grouchy before my coffee. They remember my order and are always ready to answer questions. The drinks - all of them - are an explosion of awesome and they know how to make coffee right. I am so happy to see that they are expanding their food choices - more than just amazing pastries. I enjoy my time at Traders and rarely have a bad experience here. I is such a comfortable place to meet people - and to work alone. They are doing coffee shops right. Thanks Traders.

Review №44

Nice place in a strip mall. Would have given it 5 stars but only 4 due to the limited parking. We were meeting friends and had an issue with parking. There isnt an overflow area without crossing the street or going to the next drive down and walking up to it. Inside you will find fast friendly people with lots of seating. If your looking for coffee, and a bit to eat, youve come to the right place.

I moved to Grand Junction 3 years ago....and discovered The Coffee Trader!! I love the staff!! Theyre cheerful and friendly and the service is great......and the coffee is always just how I like it!! Ive used the conference room every week for a womens meeting for over 2 years and all my ladies buy the coffee and muffins!! We all look forward to seeing our friends there!! I love The Coffee Trader!!

Its commodities and attraction for me was minimal. Parking is difficult, and I felt like I was competing for a queit cozy small bit of time from regular business consultants that were loud. The coffee was average and experience from the counter not overly appealing.

Review №48

Nice, fairly quiet place to meet a friend for coffee and snack. I thought the coffee was very good and the service was excellent. Their counter is setup to serve only one guest at a time, which slows things down, but is meaningful. After all, they should only serve one guest at a time, just like they make one coffee at a time. So, be patient if there is a line, its worth the wait.

This place is pretty good. There is usually enough seating and tables. The drinks are pretty good (Most of the fruity drinks are sour but are good if you like sour) and the prices are a little high. Its easy to find parking. It is always very cold even in the summer, so bring a sweater. Its not my favorite coffee shop in town but its not bad.

One of the best coffee shops in town, they have great blended drinks. They also have an amazing tea selection. The breakfast burritos are good, but I prefer the pastries. Lots of great setting area to read the paper or a book. Very calm environment I can spend hours there in the morning. Plenty of parking but access isnt very easy due to busy intersection and the entrance is right before the light.

Review №56

Excellent customer service. Excellent assortment of lovely teas, and nice rich coffee; dont forget the sweets (early birds know what I mean!). Nice place to sit (indoors or patio fashion) and catch up with friends and family! Located close to St. Marys Regional Hospital which is a welcome respite for those awaiting news from their loved ones.

I love this coffee shop, this is one that I go to a lot to see friends for coffee breaks and for meetings with professionals. The coffee shop is clean and not cluttered with decorations like most, but is very tasteful and comfortable to be in. The lattes are great, and they would get a 5 star if they had gluten free pastries for me! Love this shop!

Very nice place to visit with a friend, meet a group, or relax by yourself. Comfortable warm atmosphere, delicious specialty drinks and very good homemade pastries. Take a look at the travel mugs (Ive given a few as gifts and received rave reviews) and unique fun cards. Everyone I know loves this place.

Review №63

Best traditional coffee shop on the north end of town. Comfy indoor seating area with couches, arm chairs and WiFi. Counter is separated from seating area so you dont feel stepped on while lounging. Also nice if you just want your Joe to go. Access is a little rough. Almost impossible to go north or east when leaving the lot. Easy, but uphill walk from St Marys if hospital coffee is getting you down.

UNBELIEVABLE is the best word I can use to describe what happened today. I truly feel sorry for the young gentleman below in the reviews, that was harassed out of the coffee shop. I saw this poor guy getting flipped off and being yelled some heavy curse words all the way from the parking lot where I was parked at. They’re definitely not going too earn my business anymore, which is sad because I truly enjoyed their vanilla chai lattes.

Went on a coffecrawl on a day off and stopped by here. Grabbed two FreeZerz to cool off. 2 different flavors off the white chocolate menu. Drinks were well mixed but lacked flavor (besides white chocolate). Lacking coffee flavor and the drinks tastes almost identical (very sweet). Atmosphere is nice and agree with others that this would be a nice spot to meet friends or business associates.

Traders is a great place to meet. Their baristas will make any kind of drink you want. Wonderful atmosphere, plenty of parking, accommodating hours, friendly staff, quality coffee, tea and baked treats that they make right there, convenient location.

The decide of the shop and variety of items is nice. My biggest problem with Traders is that sadly their espresso is so very middle of the road as to lack character and substance at all. Ive been disappointed each time and I grant that maybe I just happened to catch the employee who does t know what they are doing that day...but I wont be going back.

I LOVE this coffee shop, and they have the best chai in Grand Junction, but their black iced tea tastes a little bit like tobacco. Other than that 5 stars!
