Great place for breakfast. The menu is diverse and our meal was excellent. (Plus the waitress was bright & cheery)

Absolutely excellent breakfast. Definitely our new favorite in Durango. Huge menu selection, generous portions, and reasonably priced!

Fantastic!! Everything was fresh, fresh, fresh!!! Loved the green chili. Breakfast was superb all the way around. Coffee was excellent as well. A must for breakies in Durango. You won't be disappointed if you go off the beaten track for a meal here! read more

Looking at the photos, I was skeptical (thinking it was going to be another greasy spoon breakfast meal). Glad I decided to give it a try! YUM... the photos don't depict how fresh and precise the food is (granted you could order gravy and that's on you) but the special of the day: Raspberry Almond French Toast: perfectly prepared won me over! Wait staff were helpful and friendly: really seemed to enjoy working there. read more

Great food, friendly staff. If looking for breakfast in Durango, you just found it. The eggs Benedict was awesome and the pancakes are as big as the plate, one will do the job. Parking can be tight, but after you eat you'll appreciate the short walk. read more

Love this place. Every time has been great. I also love the fact that they offer gluten-free bread!

This place is amazing! We rented a house nearby and this place was a GEM to have breakfast at. They were 100% kid friendly and their biscuits were bomb. I also got their red chile on an omelette and yum! Highly recommend. Great service too!! read more

One of the best breakfast we've ever had. A gem of a place. Small but you know it's good when the locals hang around. We had to wait on a Saturday morning but it was less than 30 minutes and well worth the wait. The food was fantastic, the service was friendly and prompt. Everything we ordered was great! Don't miss a chance to eat here! We will be back! read more

Wonderful for breakfast!! The large selection of benedicts omlettes and other choices amazing. I tried anasazi benedict and it was wonderful. Coffee served while you wait too, nice. Best breakfast I've had out in quite a while. Get u some. read more

This place just beat the Glenwood in Eugene, Oregon for best omelette. Perfect portions. Homemade biscuits. Awesome service. Go here.

Great food and service. I had the Mexican Burrito and home fries. All local ingredients. There were a lot of regulars of all ages, always a good sign. read more

We had a great breakfast during a weekend in Durango. I ate eggs benedict with a side of pancakes. Little did I know that the pancakes would be the size of dinner plates! Also appreciated starting my coffee while waiting. read more

Have eaten here for years. Great food, fast friendly service at a decent price. They have a good variety and will customize your order how ever you want. read more

We went here on a Monday morning around 9:30 and got a table quickly. I had the Anasazi Benedict over an English muffin. The portion was huge and had a ton of hollandaise sauce (which I loved). The green chiles added a good amount of flavor, but weren't spicy at all. I was so full that I didn't even touch the home fries, but they looked tasty. The biscuits and gravy were good, but nothing "out-of-this-world." We were not given a kids menu, so my littlest ordered two pancakes. I wish they had told us that the pancakes are bigger than your head because I woudn't have ordered that much. But, they were fluffy and had a nice griddle browning. So, we brought them home to heat up for a snack. The staff was very friendly and it felt like eating in my grandmother's kitchen. It is a good breakfast stop if you're in the mood for some home-cooking. read more

Stacked Huevo Ranchero was very tasty with the chorizo and green chili sauce. I would have left the black beans off and used pinto beans only but I was able to skip most of them. The eggs were over easy just as ordered. The home fries were quite good. Coffee was tasty which is important to me. Wait Staff was very attentive. The others in my group had a couple of the special Benedict dishes and liked them alot. Very good little breakfast joint. Small dining room so expect a wait. They have a coffee bar for those waiting for a table which is an awesome thing to do. read more

We came here for breakfast at the recommendation of a waiter at another restaurant . Let me first start off with the good things. Food was amazing and it came out extremely fast. My only complaint was our waitress Melissa. Extremely rude and very inattentive. She walked directly past our table 6-8 times and looked directly at my EMPTY tea glass and never once offered to refill it. And to add to it, the only time we saw her was when she took out order and brought the bill. It took another waitress to clear the dishes off our table. If you go there you'll be happy with your food. Just make sure you don't get Melissa as your server. This is the only reason for not giving a 5 star rating. read more

My husband and I are visiting Durango for a few days and decided to try this place for breakfast. Excellent choice to make the .5 mile walk. I ordered the veggie burrito, minus the broccoli with both green and red chili sauce. OMG!! Incredible. My husband ordered the two egg breakfast with sourdough toast. He really enjoyed his food as well. Let me finish by saying the service we received was better than service we have received at other much more expensive restaurants. Job well done! read more

Great breakfast on our way out of town! Stacked huevos had enough spice to satisfy a Texan. Blueberry pancakes are huge. After sampling the French toast, I think that was the best choice of the table. read more

Great little local place with friendly service. All of our food was good although we were missing some heat in our green chili tamales and turkey fried steak with green chili gravy. Solid breakfast place- perhaps not as exciting for those who love a spicy breakfast! read more

We love finding out of the way breakfast places with lots of selection of egg dishes and options for our vegetarian daughter. This place is definitely great for locals and tourists. Service is friendly and attentive and the food was fantastic. I enjoyed the Mexican Benedict with the red sauce so much healthier than traditional Benedict. Spinach and avocado made it even better. read more

A delicious breakfast joint in Durango. The dining area is small & cozy, which adds great ambience but larger parties may have a longer wait time. Server attention was fantastic, and the food was served promptly. read more

Quick speedy service, great prices & great food. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! We will definitely be eating here again our next visit to Durango.

I vote NO on this place. I feel bad even writing this because the staff is so nice but I have to be honest. The reviews are what led my boyfriend and I to eat here, but they are misleading. The eggs were overdone on both our plates, the juevos were on tiny tortillas, the coffee was mediocre, and the sausage in the biscuits & gravy was the texture of canned cat food. The only good thing was the orange juice. Neither of us will ever be eating here again. read more

Good food and service. Best French Toast I had in a while. Crisp, not killed by sugar and grease. A bit chewy in the center. Finally a place with good tea service - hot water, cream in a pitcher and no, extra charge for second tea bag. Honey on table. Great pl.ace read more

Great little place. California benedict and stacked huevos both great. Friendly, efficient service. Try it!

This is my kind of cafe- small, and with good food! Everything was good - scrambled eggs, biscuit, hashbrowns, coffee. Service was also good - nice find - thanks yelpers! read more

Perfect spot for breakfast! I found this place on a long road trip. So good I went back the next day. First day: egg, onion, green chile scramble: perfect. Best homemade biscuits I've had in years. Second day: French Toast: large portion, lots of cinnamon. Great food, great service, nice people. Can't ask for more! read more

The.Best.Breakfast. I've ever had in all of my 25 years. My fiancé ordered the biscuits and gravy, then when he saw the french toast land on the table next to us, he decided he couldn't pass up the opportunity to taste it, so he ordered a side of that too. The biscuits were the biggest I've ever seen in any restaurant. Not only that but they were fluffy and flaky and perfect for the most amazing gravy. It is hard to find a good sausage gravy, but I gotta say that they nailed it. Right consistency and a little spice from the sausage was great. All together, this dish was to die for. The french toast was also really good. That is not my first choice for breakfast but it was definitely done right. Crispy crust on the outside and perfectly soft bread on the inside. Not too sweet, which is why I don't typically like french toast. I ordered the Anasazi Benedict. Oh my, was it the most delicious dish ever. Homemade english muffin that was the perfect texture, topped with the most flavorful green chiles, topped with a slice of ham, topped with a perfectly poached egg and smothered in the most amazing hollandaise sauce. I mean what more could you ask for? Again, to die for! As we were leaving we complimented the staff on the quality of the food and the service. They genuinely appreciated our compliments and struck up a conversation with us. Such hospitality, don't pass up the chance to go if you get the opportunity, you will definitely regret it! read more

Unique options. Large servings. Reasonably priced. Homey atmosphere. Really enjoyed the choice with only two days in Durango. Hope to have the opportunity to go again someday. read more

I came in for brunch late on a Friday morning. The service was efficient and friendly. The place was charming and homey, the prices very reasonable. I had one of their benedict dishes (can't remember the name of it, but it had gravy on it, though I had it with an english muffin, not a biscuit.) It was delicious and their gravy was good enough to drink! I would love to return to try something else on their menu next time I'm in Durango. read more

As a local, I can say, this is the best breakfast in Durango. Once you sit down and make your selection, the food comes fast! The service is always with a smile, and the food is always just as described. Go here. You won't be disappointed! read more

We decided to eat breakfast here because it was top rated in the breakfast/brunch category on Yelp. The experience could have easily been made 5 star, since I was already expecting good food and service. I was quickly met with disappointment as our waitress, Melissa, was extremely unfriendly and dry. She did not smile once, until I asked her for her name after she brought us our ticket (likely at a fleeting attempt to salvage her image once she realized why I might want her name). This alone would not normally prompt me to write a review, however, I observed Melissa being very warm and personable with various other patrons. I do not quite know what to make of this, and it really did not sit well with me. Consistency is key! We travel frequently from Dallas and one of my favorite things is to chat with the locals, whether it be our waitstaff or the townspeople. Melissa had an opportunity to make our morning, but soured it instead. I couldn't even finish my breakfast due to the experience. read more

This place is quaint and perfect! I had the pumpkin, walnut, maple French toast and it was out of this world! My husband had the Christmas hash and it was great as well! Can't get back there soon enough! Great service! read more

Ordered the breakfast burrito and super spuds. Breakfast burrito was sad, filled mostly with pinto and black beans - flavor was dry (mostly bean flavor). Super spuds lacked... the spuds... the potato to sauce ratio was way off (felt like I was eating a chili soup for breakfast). Disappointed considering the high rating of this establishment. read more

good food, good service. i give it 4 stars because it's not the greatest breakfast i have ever had, it's not that the food was super amazing. it was solid, good, but nothing all that special. the eggs (scrambled) were adequate. the biscuits and gravy were good, the gravy was great, the biscuits...they were actually muffins i think, they weren't biscuits. not bad, i'd eat here again, but i would be quick to try somewhere else. read more

Went there this morning. Very good. Would definitely go again. Reasonable prices. We had the regular eggs, bacon, home fries. Service is great, they keep filling your coffee. Efficient and friendly staff. And this is from a very fussy lady! read more

Best pancakes I have ever had. The eggs benidict was great also nice off the beaten path
