It's comforting among all the newness to see stores like FAYE'S  specializing in cozy nightgowns. Did you know actress Helen Mirren shopped here when she filmed the movie HITCHCOCK inside? Montrose has history & charm!


One of our most popular restaurants is THE BLACK COW CAFE, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Have you tried their COCONUT CAKE and MEXICALI COFFEE? Just ask the locals!


The doors are OPEN! Come inside!


THE T ROOM is pouring holiday cheer! Christmas tea is a MUST to add to your Montrose shopping experience!


Is this a Christmas card? You would think so! Our horse drawn trolley rides are FREE! Our gift to you for shopping Montrose on the weekends during OLD TOWN CHRISTMAS. 




This is how Montrose makes you feel! Like dressing up in red and sporting matching Santa hats!
