Really loud and not fully gluten free. Offers full wheat sandwiches in plastic boxes every lunch and day. Claims outside food can cross contaminate but it's likely that their own food is the problem. Prices are also high

I went here recently and the service was very poor. The girls that helped me were not nice and providing inadequate foodservice. They messed up my order and I think overcharged me because of not being a local customer. Cute place but poor service.

Such a cute space. Loved the coffee and the ambience. Everyone was super friendly and the breakfast wraps were great.

Great allergy-friendly options for both food and drink (I'm both gluten AND dairy intolerant and got to enjoy yummy breakfast and latte.) Adorable location in a restored middle school. Lots of nostalgia. PLUS, the working art coop made for great browsing while waiting for my order. Comfy seating indoors and out.

This place is so cute! The coffee and breakfast items we delicious (we got the sausage quiche and the coffee cake muffin) and they were gluten-free! We loved looking on the boutique area that was attached as well!

Eeeek! My expensive tiny curry sandwich is so green! Bit into it and it was sour. Why must you be so tiny, cost $10.50 and be old so now I have to throw you away? Won't be back Smiley cafe, can't afford to support this poor quality.

Great work ing coffeeshop. GF quiches. Sandwiches in frig were not fresh and couldn't eat. Good golden chai was good though. Nice people and a large space.

Stopped here while passing through Durango and found it via Yelp. Cute coffee shop nestled inside what appears to be an old middle school. Staff was kind and made our almond milk lattes and matchas wonderfully. As someone who eats gluten free I really appreciated the variety of gluten free options from the baked goods, wraps, macaroons, and prepackaged sandwiches! I also appreciate how their coffee is Organically sourced which is rare to find nowadays at a lot of coffee shops. If I'm ever in Durango again, I'd come here.

Absolutely phenomenal coffee shop! Their coffee menu is what brought us to the stop on our drive to Mesa Verde and I couldn't be happier. The spot was the most unique I've been into all over the US. The address leads you to a middle school building, which left us a bit confused. However, upon entering you walk into the cutest and quietest working spot. Not only that the Art Collective is attached with art featured throughout the coffee shop supporting local artists. Gorgeous!The coffee and food were just as great! We ordered the Ancho Chili Mocha, Oat Milk Latte, Sausage Quesadilla, Plain Bagel, and Tomato Bisque. The food was phenomenal and all locally made. Truthfully, a sign didn't even need to tell us the flavors were clear that it was local, fresh, and delicious! The coffees paired perfectly. My dad loves Mexican Mochas and was excited about the Ancho Chili, which was spiced and well balanced. This a must spot for a quick coffee and food or for a local work spot!
Bruce has worked on 4 of my guitars, 2 acoustic (Martin and Taylor) and 2 electric (Gibson SG from 1966 and a Peavey from 1983). He's done fine work on all of them. I still have a 12-string that I need to bring in to him. Love his work, good guy too.

A little off the beaten path but if you want a peaceful, creatively inspired and more "local" experience it's worth the two block jaunt off Main. The gluten free baked goods are the best in town, and the owner has a thorough understanding of and respect for avoiding cross contamination. I'm celiac but I trust this place 100%! The coffee, baked goods and vibes are excellent.

We stop here every time we come into town. Love all the gluten free options. Staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is cozy. An added bonus is that they have a little potty & sink for kids. Every public bathroom needs this to help us mammas out! Love this place.

I want to love this place but the black boba pearls are so inconsistent. One day they will be perfect and delicious the next day dry and chalky. They told me they don't have a set schedule of making fresh boba (so I could show up then) the latest visit the employee got frozen boba out and microwaved it for my drink. She mixed it with the last half scoop of boba they had. I should have just left when she said that was her plan. Really awful.
