81301 Coffee House and Roasters

Diana, another reviewer is correct, if you want to drink high fructose corn syrup coffee flavored sugar water then go to one of the less refined coffee shops in town. 81301 is the only coffee shop around that gets it. They know you don't offer regular priced small espresso drinks starting at single espresso shots! This is just the beginning though. They roast their coffee in house and sell 16 ounce bags for $12 as opposed to 12 ounce bags at $16. This roasting house is run by a couple of young go getters who don't rely on tourists combing through downtown to make it. The coffee is real, the owners are real the atmosphere.... eh. No one is perfect, there are plenty of plugs for laptops here, and good seating for talking to friends, but the comfort level is low for long binges of schoolwork or otherwise. A fluffy chair or a cozy corner would be awesome. You have to hand it to them for making most of their tables though. Last thing, their cold brew would be better if they just charged more and didn't dilute them as much, at least they make true cold brew though, do I see nitro in the future? My #1 coffee shop.

Best coffee and best crew in Durango.

Had one of me best cups of coffee here.

Inside are good vibes, and if it's not too complicated or busy, they make your drink right then and there. Baristas are pretty chill, too.

When I was camping at Junction Creek Campground my neighbor told me about 81301 and it was a good choice. Next door is a place that offers good burritos. So great coffee and a burrito and it's back on bike heading North to the BMW rally.

Great latte and cinnamon roll!

Cold brew is top notch. I had my first ever cold brew float! Burritos are absolutely bomb. Staff are super friendly.

I've never had a bad tasting drink at 81301. It's relatively relaxing in the store and you even have a view of their big roasting equipment which is the neatest to observe in action, a testament to how fresh their great beans are!

Latte, muffin and burrito were delicious.

Eric made the best almond dirty chai I’ve ever had today. He recommended that I add cinnamon and a shot of cold brew concentrate rather than espresso, and it is dynamite! He was also very kind and a great barista. Happy I chose your coffee house for my drive from Pagosa Springs to Flagstaff, AZ. Thank you!!

Fantastic balanced espresso. Simple pour over and espresso bar made my trip to Durango. Check out the Roasting Lab with beautiful Probat. Slightly off the tourist grid so google it, check it out, grab a pound to go. Best coffee in town!
