Monumental Coffee Co — Restaurant in Four Corners States

Such an unsuspecting little gem I happened upon on my way from Denver to Telluride. Upon arrival, it appears to be your ordinary coffee shop. But once inside, you experience the jazzy, lively, vibrant vibes with spacious tables, upbeat music and a variety of seating options. Very quaint and welcoming atmosphere, and most importantly — it’s clean!

Because I’m more of a sweet coffee girl, I tend to be very particular about coffee in general. Lattes are my go to! I ordered the chai latte and it was perfect (no exaggeration). I also asked to add vanilla syrup, and it was recommended that I try it without first to see how sweet I’d prefer. This was thoughtful of the staff and added an extra effort on their end.

The customer service was top tier. I was asked about my travels and even offered recommendations on places and cities to visit on my way to Telluride and Ouray. I appreciated the thoughtful suggestions!

I enjoyed a chicken empanada with my latte and worked for a bit in the comfy chairs nearest the window. Wifi worked perfectly and I had no trouble getting connected. They mentioned the chicken empanada being the most popular and they were absolutely right. It was delicious.

From the food to the service to the atmosphere, this shop deserves all the 5 stars received! On my way back from Telluride to Denver I had to stop in to take a chai latte and vegetarian empanada (remember to ask for the delicious chimichurri sauce) for the road. 2nd experience did not disappoint!

Wish Monumental Coffee was closer to Denver, but I’ll just plan to stop through on my travels. Looking forward to trying something warmer like a hot cappuccino or hot latte...

I love trying new coffee places. I was excited to try Monumental. My first try at a coffee was a bit disappointing as the iced Americano was too bitter for me. Generally this would have caused me to give about a 3 star rating. So, why the five?

One of the owners stopped and asked how we liked the coffee and food. I mentioned the bitterness. She immediately recommended another blend and remade the coffee. Great coffee.

Listen, coffee blends are subjective to the person. Not everyone likes what I like, but great customer service is universal and always makes up for almost anything. I'd come back, and I'd definitely recommend Monumental.

One note to the owners, the lot needs striping. My mom's in a wheelchair and the wheelchair ramp in the front is being used as a...

If I get one more text complaining about how awful the coffee at this shop is, I'm going to lose my mind. Yes, Octopus Coffee's crew chose to work here instead of any other opportunity they could have found, but apparently they didn't bring deliciousness with them. If you are going here because of their successful recruitment efforts, please do not complain about it me. We lost the Octopus when local landlords wouldn't rent to us. I was vocal about it, I begged for help everywhere and we had a year to find a solution. No help ever came. So I sold my equipment, it is OVER. Please, please let me move on. Share your disappointment with someone else, not...
