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.

Every morning they seem to have a wide selection of freshly baked pastries, good coffee, big smiles and a beautiful building.

We each selected one and got one for my husband. The perfect choice for my husband was The New York Basin, it is inspired by a Manhattan cocktail with a whisky soaked cherry inside. I had a dark chocolate salted caramel. Their handmade caramel has local honey, covered in dark chocolate and topped with sea salt, so tasty! My daughter chose The Texas Truffle, handmade fudge covered in milk chocolate. It even had sparkly sprinkles. I forgot to take a picture of the chocolate case, so I popped back in for a quick pic and the gentleman behind the counter said he knew I would be back. The staff is great and had it not been evening, I would have gotten a coffee too. The coffee menu looked lovely. Welcoming and fun folks there.

Hermosa Cafe is a locals-only hot spot on Durango's main drag…read more I got crunchy and granola vibes and I don't say that in a bad way. It actually reminded me of a cafe I used to frequent in college. They make all their baked goods in house, it's tough to choose! You order at the counter and the line was long on a Saturday morning. They have a handwritten chalkboard menu behind the counter, but if you can't see it in line they have paper menus to grab at the register. The tough decisions arise when you get close to the pastry case. It's filled with delicious quiches, buns, and morning staples. I was intrigued by the quiches and they had a huge selection of them. I landed on the green chile and bacon (I think it was bacon?!) When I went to order I was hit with a question I wasn't prepared for. They asked me if I wanted it on a regular pie crust or a hashbrown crust. FTW?! I had never heard of such a thing. They said if I like potatoes then get the hashbrown crust...I'm so glad I trusted their recommendation! They indeed bake hashbrowns into the quiche and it acts as the crust. I don't know which crazy genius concocted this sorcery, but holy moly I love the ingenuity! I don't eat quiche that much and this one stood out. I'd definitely suggest the quiches to other people! A little chaotic inside on a weekend. You bus your own tables and the line gets narrow when you have constant foot traffic back and forth for picking up your order, going to the bathroom, etc. Staff was working hard though to move as quickly as they could. A pleasant find in Durango!

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.
