Durango Joes Coffee
3455 Main Ave, Durango, CO
Crema's Take
“This beloved drive-thru espresso shack in downtown Durango has mastered the art of the quick caffeine fix without sacrificing quality—their coffee strikes that sweet spot between approachable and genuinely well-executed, with a respectable light roast that avoids the burnt heaviness you'd find elsewhere. The real charm lies in their efficient dual-lane setup and surprisingly friendly staff who keep the line moving, plus they've thoughtfully balanced their menu with both traditional breakfast fare and vegan options, though fair warning that specialty drinks with oat milk run a bit pricey for the area. It's the kind of place that becomes your reliable go-to when you're in town, especially if you're someone who values convenience and consistency over chasing the absolute best cup.”

Not bad. Respectable coffee; doesn't come across as over-roasted. Pretty decent bagel breakfast sandwich. Like it's not going to blow you away as the absolute best, but pretty good for what it is, especially considering the location is a tiny drive-through joint. I appreciate that they're open early and you can order ahead online - makes it easy to swing through and be on your way.
Really great coffee, staff is always friendly and quick but dang they got expensive. $8 for a 16oz honey bear with oat milk 😬 Great coffee & great service but I just can’t justify that cost enough to be a regular.
Nice little drive through coffee shop! We have kind of turned it into our go to when we venture into town! The food is pretty good, both veneration and vegan offerings on the menu. Prices are on last with the going rate, and they will help you find sometimes if you're usual is out of a machine is not functioning!
Love these drive thru espresso joints, chipper staff and delicious coffee. Interesting they put whip cream on top the lid, never had that before lol. The line did take kinda long, probably about 20-30 min wait. The honeybee latte was a smash hit, not too sweet yet subtle coffee notes, perfection!
Quick little drive thru for some morning Joe! There are two lanes, one on each side of the little shack to keep the traffic flowing. Saw someone ordering on foot which was cool! The gentleman that helped us was friendly and kept a good conversation with our car. Our drinks tasted great as well! A little bonus - we got to watch an elk eat about 10 meters from where we ordered!
