Mountain Air Roasters Coffee! — Restaurant in Grand Junction

The Mexican Mocha is my very favorite coffee drink in town—in fact, all of their beverages are really good, but I wish there was a larger size for the iced beverages and the price point. Also, the service is very subpar. The girls that work there are almost all extremely unfriendly, with the exception of one very nice girl that I see every once in awhile. I come in almost every day (or I used to, until I decided that for me service is just as important as the quality of the product) and they can't even so much as smile at me and I feel very uncomfortable talking to them. Maybe they should take a course in customer service. I do appreciate that it is a veteran-owned business. Thank you for your service.

Edit Oct 2021: They did get a larger sized for iced drinks which is so exciting! The new hires there are much friendlier than the former crew as well. I'm glad to see these issues are being remedied. I am upping my review from 3 to 4 stars, but I do hope they can get a little bit faster with their service and get that 5th star eventually. I've waited over 15 minutes for a bagel and a latte on more than one occasion, and it's typically on a 10 minute work break, which can be frustrating. It kinda feels like they have that sloth from Zootopia making the bagels there sometimes. Hopefully as the newer staff members receive more training things will be a bit...

I ordered a 20oz iced mocha with less mocha (I don't like super sweet drinks).

I drink a lot of iced mochas from all kinds of coffee shops (local places and chains) and this was hands down the worse mocha I've ever had unfortunately.

It came out luke warm, but the barista did give me a cup of ice when I went back in and ask for one, so that was nice.

It had one shot in it for a 20oz size, which I have never experienced before so maybe that was just an error. Because of this, there was no espresso flavor, it was all milk.

It was very sweet (they used what looked like Torino's bottled chocolate syrup - also a first for me as most places use some like of chocolate sauce or powder for the base) and even with half the syrup and had a fake after taste.

I threw 3/4 of the drink away in the end.

So in the end I paid $6 for sweetened milk, which isn't my thing. And yes, I've worked as a barista so I know an iced mocha has a lot of milk, but this was almost ALL milk with some syrup and one shot of espresso and no ice.

My friend got a blended matcha which was very light green in color and said it tastes like lightly flavored milk.

I'm giving it two stars because they have a wonderful seating area outside with shade and the indoor area had many different types of seating,...

Great coffee, good atmosphere. Minus one star because none of the staff or regulars were wearing a mask when we were there. No State required sign posted either. It is what it is, but those who are concerned about such things may want to avoid.

Edit: In response to the owner: there are public health recommendations and laws for a reason. I empathize with your desire for freedom, but as a business you are required to follow health department rules and state guidelines. At the very least, potential customers who don’t share your cavalier attitude towards the pandemic deserve to know...
