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.

Best espresso in all of southern Colorado. After espresso, you have to peek at their bourbon selection. Small lot, beautiful, unique tastes you won’t find anywhere else.

Incredible customer service and such a friendly staff. Market selection is great- fresh baked goods, breakfast burritos, healthy snack options, and more.

The store is put together tastefully. The owner was very nice and helped me find what I needed. It’s rare to find such great service in a small town. This store is a little out of the way from my commute home but I will be back because it was honestly that good. The owners obviously take pride in their store front and I look forward to supporting that. Jesse King Owner, Homeroots Hardwood Flooring
