Really yummy! But weird that they don’t have cappuccinos listed, ordering one felt like a secret menu item. But the coffee is good, so I have no complaints. Had a pour over once and it was awesome.

Wonderful coffee. Excellent tea. A cool place to hang out what more could you want. Oh baristas don't have an attitude very friendly as well.

Love Montago! Good Chai & London fog for non-coffee drinkers & every coffee drink I've had is amazing. Flat white, honey cinnamon latte are favorites.

Jessa made me the best Americano. She was super friendly and told us about their specials and different drinks they offer...a matcha lemonade, some type of espresso drink with tonic. Definitely will be back to try it out.

Just visited this place for the first time and I can't give any less than 5 stars. I'm so picky about my coffee and my vanilla latte was the best cup of hot coffee I've ever had!! So many places I've been to lets the espresso burn, or has the wrong coffee to water ratio, or steams the milk too hot, or uses too much flavoring, etc. But here I have no critiques. Also to whoever's playlist was playing on the speakers it was fire

Montago Coffee is a Third Wave coffee shop named from the owners' two favorite places in the world: Montana and Otago New Zealand.
If you want to learn the art of coffee roasting and how to make a great cup of coffee, Montago is your place. Rachael has been to the birth place of coffee (Ethiopia) a couple times, one with a service team, another to volunteer in an orphanage. She has been refining the coffee craft and roasting since she managed a shop in High School. Steven has learned coffee making and roasting with Rachael and traveled to New Zealand as well to learn craft coffees there. Try the drip coffees and have the staff tell you how to taste the flavors in the beans from various regions!
I love the downtown location for meeting the people who live in the area, the shop has expanded its seating capacity, and the variety of drinks and pastries keep me coming back regularly. They have a coffee club you can subscribe to, even a weekly bike club that starts at the shop.

Best coffee in town. True cafe vibe with really high quality coffee
A friend and I tried this place today. The coffee was very good, but was not what I would call friendly. The atmosphere was okay there's not a ton of sitting room but it was comfortable.

Adorable little coffee shop. Nice and quiet, great place to study. Delicious croissant and my coffee was perfect (and I'm picky!) thanks Montago!

Industrial atmosphere, they definitely take their coffee and tea seriously. Good stuff. But service is definitely not their forte. The guy in particular, extremely short, completely ignored my ‘thank you’s, never a single smile or said anything friendly. Cool place but he pretty much ruined the vibe.

One of the best coffees I've ever had.So my go-to drink is a cortado, oat milk if they've got it. You can judge a place's (& the barista's) knowledge by what happens when you order one. If they ask for sizing, or number of espresso shots, or simply make you a latte - it sets the stage.At Montago, they didn't even blink. Served up the perfect cortado with a shot glass of sparkling water like it was their most common order. I never ask for a sparkling water sidecar, but if it shows up it's welcomed and I'm impressed.The vibe of the place is great too. High ceilings + industrial feel. Big enough to have several discreet areas to sit and talk, but still keeping everyone together for that sense of place.If I could rate with ½ or ¼ ⭐'s - I'd give them ... no seriously - they'd still get a full 5! ?(pictured: latte & cortado)
Quality coffee made by great people. Yum!
