Nice folks, lots of food options, some savory food (look at the bottom of the board, it could be highlighted better). If you're there for the signature "bread", the sign indicates it arrives around 10am. The earlybird doesn't get the bread! I had a very good coffee and a green chili croissant that was surprisingly flavorful. Lots of other things I'd have liked to try. Cute, eclectic shop in the coffee shop tradition. Shared and window seating, some outdoor sidewalk seats. Looked like a local crowd on a summer Saturday. Worth repeating!

While wandering downtown Durango, we happened upon this shop. this was an absolute treat…read more My daughter and I came in right when a gentleman was explaining what all the chocolates were in the case. 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.

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!

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.

My son's iced black coffee was similarly strong, but served cold. he loved it and was wired for a good hour, so that was annoying. Lizzie was friendly and energetic; in the time it took to figure out our order and make it, she managed to learn a good portion of my life story. It felt like we were neighbors catching up over coffee. Will need to make time to go back and see if she will help me work through some childhood trauma My only complaint is that I have become accustomed to overpaying for low-quality coffee and poor customer service, often with a side of attitude. Well, now I expect more from other coffee shops and am afraid I will be sadly disappointed. Thanks for raising my expectations

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.
