Crema's Take
“This beloved Durango institution has earned a devoted following for its exceptionally clean, never-burnt espresso that locals swear by—their vanilla lattes are legendary enough to inspire loyalty cards worn through from repeat visits. While the cozy space is tight on seating, what you'll find there is consistency and craft, from their single-origin Huehuetenango to expertly pulled cappuccinos and a surprisingly excellent matcha that keeps regulars coming back for more.”

I have been going to this coffee shop since elementary school. The coffee is the best coffee in town. The vanilla lattes are so good it should be studied. The most consistent thing in this town.
I love the coffee and tea-fantastic! The ambience is ok although nothing special. There’s a very small amount of seating and it is uncomfortable seating. Also there is a very marked difference between how locals get treated by the staff and how the rest of us get treated. I was hoping the first time I came that it was a fluke, but no. I’ve come enough times to know that it isn’t and it wasn’t just me. Everyone who wasn’t an obvious resident got a cold shoulder. If this review was based purely on service, it would have gotten 1 star. But again, GREAT coffees & teas.
Best coffee in town! Their cappuccino is always delicious and this is my go to spot for coffee beans. The huehuetenango is my personal favorite, and I’ve never been disappointed with anything I’ve gotten here. The burritos are great and the gf almond muffins are phenomenal!
I’ve gone through two loyalty cards here. (I know ball.) The drinks are usually great! They don’t have a burnt taste and their matcha is wonderful! However, these are some of the rudest and coldest people in town. It doesn’t matter how polite and how often I come here. Every single time, they do their best to make it seem like they hate me and their jobs. It really ruins the energy and morning vibes of getting a good coffee.
Nice cozy little coffee shop. It had a good vibe, good people working here. They do have hot food for breakfast, but it is practically hidden on like a single 8.5x11 piece of paper by the register. Don't know why it isn't larger with everything else. In any event they've got grab-and-go stuff hot and ready which is super convenient if you've got stuff to do and just need to grab a coffee and bite to eat while starting your day!
