5 reviews for Eagle's Landing Coffee House
Awesome coffee shop. Forget the chains and stick to the small gems. Sorry folks no burnt coffee smell here, only tasty smells.
They have an awesome breakfast special for only $3.95 which has a breakfast sandwich and a small drink. Way tastier and healthy than a fast food joint! I reccommend the Mayan coffee superb taste, which is made with abuelita chocolate. Other people have told me that they love the milky way one too.
When I sat on the cozy/comfy couch I saw their brownies flying off the counter. The music was not too loud (as stated in other reviews), in fact there were several people taking advantage of the free wifi.
Great atmosphere, fantastic service, tasty treats, delicious coffee, and free wifi. This place is a must!
Eagle Rock has a new coffee shop, Eagle's Landing Coffee House (Townsend & Yosemite), in a location convenient for residents who live south of Colorado. Eagle's Landing reminded me of the Canadian public television programs because it's run by a non-profit organization and 50% of its profits go to support the R.O.C.K. ("Reach Our Community Kids") Teen Center, which is physically connected to the coffee shop.
The R.O.C.K. Teen Center features a few big couches, several computer terminals, free wifi, a pool table, and some gaming systems. When you get your coffee at the coffee shop they let you know that you're welcome to hang out in the Teen Center, which they refer to as the "Community Center" (presumably so you don't feel creepy hanging out there if you're above 19). You just walk through the open doorway. The R.O.C.K. space can apparently be rented out by anyone. There are scheduled meetings during the week for Narcotics Anonymous, a bible study, the Eagle Rock Multi-Cultural Society, and a teen-tutoring and mentoring group.
The R.O.C.K. Teen Center was originally founded in 1996 by a pastor from Eagle Rock Baptist Church who organized several neighborhood churches to get behind the idea (hence the bible study, presumably) to create a safe space for Eagle Rock teens. It's unclear what the religious organizations' connection might be to Eagle's Landing coffee shop, though I assume there's still some involvement. The kids at the counter mentioned that the coffee shop was run by a non-profit organization -- I'm guessing it's connected to the 501(c)(3) created by the churches when they founded the R.O.C.K. Teen Center.
The coffee shop itself is perfectly serviceable, nothing extraordinary. I had an iced coffee, which was fine. The coffee menu had all of the standard options, and there were some pastries available as well. The seating inside the coffee shop was pretty rudimentary, though the blue couch did look comfortable. The kids working at the counter seemed very earnest: the place felt like a non-profit coffee shop run by idealistic college students.
One unfortunate detail: when I was there, the two kids at the counter were watching WALK THE LINE on the big flat screen above the soda fridge and ice-cream freezer. They had the volume up really loud. I was the only customer there and they saw that I was writing in a notebook, but they didn't seem to consider turning the volume down. No big deal, probably just another sign of my advanced age and crotchetiness. But still, Eagle's Landing is probably not the place to try to read Proust or compose your screenplay about escaping a difficult teenhood in the suburbs of Salt Lake City with your dream to one day make it to a happening place like Eagle Rock. It probably works better as a place to quickly grab a cup of coffee in the morning or on your way somewhere else. Unless you feel like walking over into the teen center and perusing the reading material (the bible in several languages, SAT prep books, magazines, some other random books) or playing SPIDERMAN on the Xbox.
Regardless of your religious leanings, another coffee shop is not a bad thing for Eagle Rock, especially one at a location not on Colorado or Eagle Rock Boulevard. I assume there's no obligatory religious indoctrination that goes hand-in-hand with kids using the Teen Center. The place doesn't have that kind of feel about it. There were some kids at the Teen Center when I stopped by, reading quietly, checking their email, playing video games and pool. I don't really care who or what organization runs the place: kids do need a safe, quiet place that's always open to them, and the Teen Center gives them that. I'm going to try to support this place. I encourage you to do the same.
My brother and I went here on our way back home and had never gone before. Supporting the local business! The guy behind the counter was pretty cool and made some great drinks. The combo meals are literally unbeatable b/c before we stepped inside there was a sign outside that stated they serving up burrito and drink for only $1.75. The asthetics were warming as there is modern art on the walls and a flat screen on the other. I'll be back
A comfortable, convenient, unpretentious, and independent coffee shop in the heart of Eagle Rock. The only downside is the shortage of parking, which is usually the death knell of coffee shops, but there seems to be enough foot traffic here to hopefully support this new venture. Wi-Fi friendly. Outdoor seating.
I want to like this place; the coffee is good, the vibe is cool, and it's very close to my house. The major downside is the immense television that makes me think of a sports bar. When I was there this afternoon (the only customer) the gentleman behind the counter was kind enough to turn off the sound (but not the picture) but KROQ then came blaring over the sound system. This venue is certainly not conducive to either conversation or to writing, which are the two things I do in coffeehouses.

History
Established in 2009
Eagle's Landing Coffee House was establised in a strong desire to offer the community and local students a place to relax and have fun. Located in a residential area of Eagle Rock blocks away from Eagle Rock High School, it's an ideal location that offers the residents of Eagle Rock and it's students a great new place to hang out in.
The coffee house was created in great part to help keep The Rock Community Center open for all to enjoy. 50% of the proceeds from the coffee house go to pay bills for the community center.
