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!

I've had many chocolate croissants in many cities (San Francisco, New York, and Nice France to name a few) and this place bakes one that is twice as good as the next best. The chocolate ratio and the outer crispy layer are what set it apart.

This coffee spot is not what you would think, it's not your normal coffee shop. They produce coffee here and have a little coffee shop inside, went in to grab a americano and a chai. Cute surrounding area with amazing coffee if you are around. Would highly recommended chai with oat milk, best I have ever had. Stop by and also grab freshly roasted beans by the bag to go home with you.

It's open for breakfast and lunch, it seems from early morning through late afternoon. We got breakfast this morning at about 8am in the summer. The breakfast burritos are AMAZING. The best one I've ever had. We got the egg, cheese, and green chile. It also had a bit of potato. Eggs were perfectly cooked, cheese was lovely, and chile added just enough flavor/kick. The green smoothie was good. The base is almond milk, which is sweetened, so especially good for folks who like their smoothies on the sweeter side. The cinnamon roll was fabulous, though the very center was a bit cool still. My husband LOVED the nitro cold brew coffee, it was creamy even though it was black. There are some fabulous benches nearby with sweeping mountain views, a few less-picturesque tables right out front, or you can grab and go to the gondola, which is literally 10 steps away. The stand is wheel chair accessible. I'd come back for the breakfast burritos and coffee anytime. Service was super friendly, flexible, and laid back.

I loved that they had cocktails at this very unassuming little spot. We ate breakfast here on our way out of town and it was the perfect "see ya next time, Telluride" meal. The brekkie options are between $13 and $18, so not super cheap, but very conveniently located, great options, and good tasting food. Treat yourself to a cinnamon role (ask them to warm it up) if they have any left. It's the kind of place where you order at the front and take a number to your table. Seating is limited but it never seemed totally slammed (though I didn't see them during peak lunch hours on a weekend). If you're looking for a quicker brekkie that gives you the option to booze it up, and has great coffee to boot, this is a pretty solid little place.

Wait time over an hour for a bagel & smoothie, food was good but truly not worth the time.read more
