Bear’s General
65 Mercado St #119, Durango, CO
Crema's Take
“This Durango gem pulls off the rare trick of being both a serious espresso destination and a welcoming gathering place, with reviewers consistently praising the quality of their shots alongside the genuinely friendly staff who actually know what they're doing. Beyond coffee, Bear's General functions as a carefully curated market with small-lot spirits, fresh pastries, and a wine club that locals swear by, making it feel more like discovering a friend's perfectly stocked kitchen than walking into a typical cafe. Whether you're stopping by for a quick exceptional espresso or settling in for an afternoon, the tasteful atmosphere and owner's genuine hospitality create that rare small-town experience that feels both rare and unhurried.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, good for meetings.
