Durango Bagel

Now, I should mention that I'm not exactly an apple fritter enthusiast. I probably have one every 4-5 years. But for whatever reason, I got a craving for one and couldn't shake it. Each visit became a running joke: "Maybe today?" This morning, sweet victory, and a candid from my partner. The apple fritter was finally there waiting for me, and the first bite immediately transported me back in time to being a little kid standing at the donut counter in my local Bashas. Warm, nostalgic, perfectly indulgent, and absolutely worth the wait. If you're lucky enough to get one before they're gone, do it. Apparently, the locals already know what they're doing. We'll definitely be back before we leave town.

Stopped in for donuts and breakfast burritos. Both were delicious. Great quick breakfast stop in…read moreDurango.

Then I sat there for another 10 minutes and nobody even came back to take my food order, so I finally got up and left. The service was incredibly inattentive and the staff seemed like they couldn't care less. I initially put my name on the waitlist with one of the employees, and when I came back in later to check where I was on the list, the same person didn't even seem to know who I was or remember putting my name down. There only appeared to be a couple people working, and the entire experience felt disorganized from beginning to end. I was really looking forward to having breakfast here based on the reviews, but after 45+ minutes between waiting and sitting at the table without even getting to place a food order, I'd had enough. Warm water was just the icing on the cake. Extremely disappointing experience. I walked out and will not be back.

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.

I was trying to…read morethink back and remember the food from here since it's been a few days, and it took me a bit. I had to pull up photos I took, and then I had my light bulb moment. The line into this place was extremely long. They had a lot of cute spots to sit, which was nice, but the wait was uncomfortable (especially due to how hot it was inside). My sandwich came out, and it was okay. The chicken was dry, and the sandwich didn't have all the toppings it should have, which made it drier. I ended up picking at it and instead focused on my watermelon and fries. I'd try other places in town, since there are many. I'd maybe come back to try a pastry. Those looked really good and tempting.

I live in the area and wanted to support our local coffee shop, and have been for about 9 months…read more The service has always been appalling and while 4.70$ for a drip coffee is steep, we supported them because they were selling a local coffee company (also called Steep) and were willing to pay the premium to support a local family owned roaster. They informed me today that they will no longer be selling Steep because they raised their prices. They are now selling allegro as their drip, and when asked if using corporate coffee would lower the price of their drip, they said no. As far as I'm concerned this is disingenuous and a pretty bad hustle. Other complaints include no visible pricing and random price switching (due to the lack of transparency). We will not be back. Please consider supporting the Steep roasting company ten minutes up the road, you can get a fresh bag for 2/3 the price that higher grounds sells it for anyway.

Plenty of parking out front and seating inside, and they have a sister boutique next door that opens a little later in the morning and has cute stuff too. Overall if I pass through Pagosa springs again anytime soon I'll be coming back here!

Love this place! If there is a short wait it's always worth it. This little historical spot has it's charm. it's inviting and being a local, I know they stepped up their game. There are many unique varieties of bagels and toppings. Their sandwiches are huge, the coffee drinks are fantastic too. Try the coconut macadamia nut Latte! The entire staff is very friendly and welcoming. Enjoy sitting on the patio and people watching. Thank you Durango Bagel! read more

The owner of this shop often treats his employees poorly. He has refused to pay my relative a full weeks worth of wages (their last week , with proper notice given). He thinks labor laws do not apply to him. Takes advantage of young employees who he believes will be too afraid or too busy to file a complaint with the labor department. read more
