Went in for breakfast during our honeymoon as my wife ( :-) was getting ready. We live nearby, so…read moreI am fairly familiar with coffee/breakfast places in the area. I've never been here, but it was a short walk from the Strater, they serve sandwiches to go, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Was pretty quiet at first, one person ahead of me, two people behind the counter. I ordered a Southwest sandwich and a chai latte. They were out of an ingredient for what I wanted, but they had a ready alternative in mind. Suddenly, after the notorious train whistle, a flood of people came in. All in a hurry because they needed to be back by the train leaving. Chaos ensues. The two employees start working double time, directing traffic, getting orders and manning the register while also making drinks. I was impressed by how quickly they got the orders out, and their calm resolve. It looks like a hard job, and I've worked in the service industry. Sudden large groups of people, small operating space, and people in a hurry for you to do all of it. I'd say it could probably use another employee, but they'd probably get in the way because it's so compact. The sandwich was excellent. Good taste, off you like a toasted bagel sandwich, it's an excrement choice. The chai was good, I don't normally have milk, so it wasn't perfect... for me. TLDR: good food, fast, wait five to ten minutes if you hear the train whistle before going in.

May 2026 My wife and…read moreI were visiting Durango for a few days. She took the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad to Silverton, but unfortunately I wasn't able to go because of a medical condition that prevents me from traveling to high altitudes, and the train climbs to around 10,000 feet. After she left on her adventure, I decided to find some breakfast. While I was walking around town, my aunt called. She and my uncle used to vacation in Ouray every year, so she knows the area well. She recommended Jean-Pierre Bakery, so that's where I headed. I was seated right away and ordered a coffee while I looked over the menu. My waitress was very friendly, and we chatted for a while. She even recommended a few places around town that I should check out. I finally decided on the Croque Monsieur (brioche, béchamel, ham, and Swiss cheese) served with a salad. When my meal arrived, it looked fantastic. The sandwich was delicious, rich, and full of flavor. It was my first time trying a Croque Monsieur, and I really enjoyed it. The salad was fresh and crisp, and the vinaigrette paired perfectly with it. After finishing my meal, I couldn't resist ordering a pistachio cream-filled éclair that had caught my eye when I first walked in. It looked beautiful, but unfortunately, it was a disappointment. The pastry was very dry, and the bottom was quite hard. It definitely didn't taste freshly made. The pistachio cream had a nice flavor, but there wasn't very much of it. I mentioned my concerns to my server, and she kindly brought me a chocolate éclair to try instead. It also looked wonderful, but it had the same problem. The pastry tasted old, almost like it had been sitting for a couple of days. I would absolutely return for another Croque Monsieur or to try something else from the breakfast or lunch menu because that part of the meal was excellent. As for the pastries, they certainly look beautiful, but based on my experience, I would probably pass on them next time. This would have been a solid 4 star if those eclair had of been good.

My partner and I went here with his family today to start off our trip to Durango. We were excited…read moreafter hearing all the good things about it, and we were not let down! I ordered the chocolate hazelnut crepe and my partner got the chocolate, banana, and almonds crepe. They were so good! Freshly made to order and piping hot. The owner was there making the crepes and he came and checked on us when he had time. He was super friendly and genuinely wanted to make sure we had a good time. The patio is super cute and cozy with lots of flowers and plants. They grow their own herbs too which I love! There's plenty of street parking that's free on weekends. No bathroom since it's just a cart but I'm sure there are bathrooms nearby. Would love to come back in the future!

We make a point to visit Michel's Corner every time we're in Durango. Michel and his staff are…read moregenuinely warm and welcoming, making every visit memorable. The crepes are outstanding, truly on par with what you'd expect from a Michelin-star restaurant. Every ingredient is fresh, every plate is beautifully presented, and the attention to detail is remarkable. One of our favorite touches is the stunning flower garden surrounding the wagon. Michel personally tends many of the flowers, and they're often incorporated as beautiful edible garnishes, making each dish feel like a work of art. Michel's Corner is one of those rare places where exceptional food and heartfelt hospitality come together. It's a highlight of every trip to Durango, and we can't recommend it highly enough.

Now, I should mention that I'm not exactly an apple fritter enthusiast. I probably have one every 4-5 years. But for whatever reason, I got a craving for one and couldn't shake it. Each visit became a running joke: "Maybe today?" This morning, sweet victory, and a candid from my partner. The apple fritter was finally there waiting for me, and the first bite immediately transported me back in time to being a little kid standing at the donut counter in my local Bashas. Warm, nostalgic, perfectly indulgent, and absolutely worth the wait. If you're lucky enough to get one before they're gone, do it. Apparently, the locals already know what they're doing. We'll definitely be back before we leave town.

The skillet was well cooked and I did like choosing my own veggies, but it didn't have much flavor. Additionally, the chai was good but not exceptional, it didn't have much spice or depth, just tasted like sweet milk. They usually have boba (tapioca pearls) you can add to the chai, which I think would elevate the experience, but they were out of boba when we came. It wasn't too busy on a Sunday morning, had vegetarian and vegetarian gf meals, and had good service.
