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.

This might be the best coffee in Telluride. The coffee is strong and roasted perfectly. Hot or…read morecold, you won't be disappointed with whatever you order. 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. Living in Denver, this place charges less which is also great!

The bakery was good but all drinks were terrible, not sure if it's cause they were busy but we spent way too much money to just throw them away.

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.

I've noticed a theme with food here in the area. Expensive and not very memorable. 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.

Just moved to town and came here on a busy night. They greeted us right away and worked on getting…read moreus a seat at the bar. 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!!
