College Cafe
128 E 9th St, Durango, CO
Crema's Take
“College Cafe has mastered the art of the loaded breakfast burrito and green chili preparation that makes locals genuinely protective of their spot—arrive early because the combination of generous portions, local ingredients, and staff who actually care about your experience fills this place fast. The casual, community-centric vibe with outdoor seating and thoughtful service touches (maps on tables, friendly waitstaff) makes it feel less like a tourist trap and more like a place regulars have welcomed you into, though prices skew toward the higher end and parking requires coins.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.
