It offers a great selection of breakfast items such as sandwiches, quiche, and pastries, all at affordable prices. The cafe has a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere with plenty of seating, making it a perfect place to hang out with friends, study, or work. The staff members are friendly and skilled, creating a warm environment for customers. The menu also includes a variety of drinks and flavors, including the best boba in town and an excellent chai Boba. Many customers appreciate the gluten-free options, which are available and well-prepared, catering to those with dietary restrictions.

The building's exterior can be tricky to find, but the coffee is praised for its taste, and the food is well-liked. The cafe’s atmosphere is peaceful, with art and music that add to its charm.

Great place! Good coffee and other eats, excellent ambiance, indoor and outdoor seating...all in what's become a hub for Durango community.

What an awesome place!!! If you haven't been here, you should definitely check it out!

Great drinks (so many awesome options!) and cool environment, however, it’s really surprising and disappointing that they won’t take your reusable cup (drinks are served in plastic cups with plastic straws) when they sell reusable straws and offer electric car charging out front 😕
