College Cafe

Known For

Brick-walled nooks that double as the best study corners in town

College Cafe's exposed brick walls and tucked-away cozy nooks make it one of those spots that photographs itself. It's an easy place to lose track of time over a latte and a good book.

🕐Best time to visit: when afternoon light hits the east-facing windows

Our Take

The exposed brick paired with dedicated latte art makes College Cafe one of the more photogenic coffee stops in Durango, with a lived-in coziness that feels earned rather than designed. Its strong ratings across a sizable crowd signal this is a legitimate local anchor worth seeking out.
