Upper East Side Coffee Co
28902 US-160 #6580, Durango, CO
Crema's Take
“Tucked beside a gas station on Durango's Upper East Side, this spot has become a beloved local anchor thanks to genuinely warm baristas who remember regulars and pull exceptionally strong espresso drinks that live up to the hype. The made-to-order breakfast sandwiches and fresh-made burritos are substantial enough to satisfy, while the pastries and grab-and-go options make it perfect for both lingering conversations and quick caffeine runs. It's the kind of unpretentious neighborhood coffee shop where you feel welcomed immediately, whether you're a local hitting your morning routine or a traveler discovering a gem.”

What a charming coffee shop!! We’ve been twice in our three days in Durango and the gals are just the *sweetest*. The pastries are divine, the coffee is hot, fresh, & delicious, and the vibe is chill and laid back. Don’t miss this spot if you need a quick pick-me-up on the way to/from the airport!
Staff was super nice, prices were great. The made to order food is a little slow, but I wasn’t in a rush today so it was fine for me. They have fresh “grab and go” premade burritos if you don’t want to wait. Coffee was good and they offer free refills. Got a huge brownie to snack on with my coffee.
Great coffee next to gas station Gf breakfast sandwich excellent Prices good
Upper East is my morning go-to. Emily and Hailey are my favorite outstanding baristas providing kindness and STRONG iced lattes like jet fuel. The burritos put the Maverick ones to shame. The sandwiches are delicious, and the ambiance inside makes a perfect place for me to plug in and focus on extra work as I start my day. Thanks for everything Upper east and the folks running it!
Best coffee house that we stumbled upon as we were driving back home. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The coffee and breakfast buffet we exceptional.
