When Texas heat makes shipping on ice prohibitive, a quick trip to Telluride for their signature…read moretriangle-shaped artisanal truffles is all I've been dreaming of. There's no shortage of the finest Belgian goodness here - in the "Perfect Brownie," on an equally exceptional (flat, crisp) Macaroon, in the Ancho Chili Drinking Chocolate... and maybe that's where I may get my winter fix. Moving on up into a larger, centrally-located spot with room for outdoor dining and organic ice cream!

We tried Telluride Truffle because we'd heard the ice cream was amazing, but the ice cream was just…read moreOK. I had the rocky road ice cream, and I think it was Blue Bunny ice cream, not homemade.

Their lattes and seasonal lattes are flavorful and sweet yet the coffee still shines. The staff are friendly and they have great merch! The price point is also very competitive.

We came to this coffee shop a few times while staying in town. I think this might be the only real…read morecoffee shop in the downtown area, which I found a little surprising considering how popular this town is with tourists! Nonetheless, it's a cute spot with a nice, cozy atmosphere. They have a few tables along with a couple of sofas, and I really liked the overall vibe. It can definitely get busy, so depending on when you come, finding a seat might be a little challenging. I do appreciate that they're open until 5 p.m., especially since there aren't many other coffee shop options around. One afternoon it was raining, so we came here and hung out for a while, and it was the perfect cozy place to spend some time. We tried the breakfast burrito once, which was okay, but I enjoyed their coffee and pastries more. They actually have a pretty good pastry selection. I tried the pumpkin bread one day and a cinnamon roll another time, and both were good. The staff was also consistently friendly each time we visited. Overall, it's a cute and welcoming coffee shop and definitely worth checking out if you're visiting town and looking for a good coffee, pastry, or a cozy place to hang out for a bit.

One of the main things I love about going to indie bookstores is the ability to find both new,…read moreunique books you may have trouble finding elsewhere, and editions of classics you've never seen before. Between The Covers indeed had both! Including a picture of the one I was most fascinated by. If I had more money to my name I would've wiped their collection of Where's Waldo books clean. Great selection (definitely look at the staff picks!) of books for all ages, beautiful Telluride merch you won't find in the town's gift shops, and other cool miscellaneous stuff like kids toys and educational materials. They had some playing cards with Spanish / Italian / Japanese translations that I thought were really cool. A must if you're in town!

The Butcher & The Baker was a great breakfast stop! We pre-ordered our food and walked over from…read moreour hotel, which ended up being a great decision because it was very busy when we arrived. The outdoor patio is pet-friendly, so we were able to enjoy breakfast outside with our dog, Luna. We both had breakfast sandwiches, and they were cooked perfectly. The English muffin was especially good and really made the sandwich. Since we placed a to-go order, we didn't have much interaction with the staff, but everything was ready on time and the overall experience was smooth. We'd definitely recommend it for a quick, delicious breakfast in Telluride.

Came here for breakfast one morning while we were in town after a hike. We had our dog with us, so…read morewe picked this place since they have an outdoor area where we could sit with her. It was pretty busy for a weekday around 10 a.m., and there seemed to be a constant line of people ordering. I got the breakfast bowl with eggs and summer vegetables, and unfortunately it was pretty disappointing. The veggies had almost no flavor, and there were pieces of asparagus that were so tough and woody I couldn't even chew them. The bowl was also supposed to have sunchokes, but I honestly didn't see or taste any. Overall, it was just very bland. I also ordered a flat white, which had way too much milk and didn't really taste like a flat white. The milk didn't seem properly steamed and it almost tasted like cold/warm milk had just been added to the espresso. The one thing I really enjoyed was the homemade pop tart. That was actually delicious and easily the best thing we had. Overall, I found it pretty pricey, although I know that's somewhat expected in Telluride. For the price, though, I was hoping for much better food and coffee. The pop tart was great, but unfortunately the rest of the breakfast was a miss for me.

Made us feel welcome right away and we got some popcorn while we waited to put drinks in. Even on this extremely busy night the bartender made sure to get our drinks in and we have had an amazing mezcal cocktail. It took awhile to get the food in but once we did we were in heaven. The ceviche was amazing and we got the Brussel sprouts to complement it. The steamed buns and pork were so good we ordered another one. Sitting at the bar felt like an event and the music was fun. Really enjoyed everything about the experience.

What a fantastic bar/restaurant! I visited There a few years ago and was super impressed then, and…read moreI am again impressed by There during this visit. Note that, while they take OpenTable reservations, it's a very intimate restaurant with limited seating--so go early! We had drinks (wine! all great) and dinner at There and loved every bite. Here's what we tried food-wise: -Brussel sprouts: This dish was all crispy, roasted bussel sprouts leaves, so good. -Duck leg bao buns: Amazing! The duck was so tender, and there was a nice slight kick to the sauce. -Lamb kebab: The lamb was great, and I really liked the sauce that same with it. Service was excellent--so helpful and nice, in that laid-back Telluride way.

Always love coming to Smuggler's when we visit Telluride! Always a five star chicken sandwich!…read moreIt's not something I normally order other places, but it's absolutely delicious here. They give you lots of condiments to top it with. By the time I got done building it, it was about 4 inches high. Lettuce, tomato, pickled onions, bacon, provolone, avocado... Chicken was moist. Aioli was fabulous. Thank you for always having gluten-free buns for us!!! We also enjoyed the fresh brewed root beer and ginger beer. The table and benches were very clean- super important to me! Thank you for the excellent service, Taylor! You are attentive and an excellent server. We'll be back soon!

Worst place EVER!!! When I tell you I've spent all 10 of my…read moreyears as a resident in Colorado dreaming of visiting Telluride that's probably an understatement. So I was definitely excited to visit on my anniversary and enjoy a nice meal for our special day. Last weekend on our Anniversary we went out & were seated, our order taken - drinks came, & food delivered - she asked if we needed anything else ? And we NEVER SAW HER AGAIN! EVER. We were literal hostages there. Not a refill, no condiments on the table & the food severely lacked seasoning ( I fortunately had salt packets with me) NOTHING. About an hour later By chance a coworker saw us sitting there & we flagged him down - thankfully he got us boxes, printed the receipt & told us that he thought she might be in a break because he couldn't find her. SO SHE DISAPPEARED?! First time ever in my life that I've not tipped on a meal - same for my husband. $111 bill for under seasoned Sysco food (the food was Not good either) the best part?? an additional 4% health & housing surcharge for their employees!!
