Taste

I travel a lot, by car, across the US, stopping in many non-destination areas, and wherever I land, I find coffee joints to grab a plain latte. It's not extremely common to find a coffee shop with someone running the bar who can pull a wonderful shot. The espresso was strong, smoothly bitter, and offered a deep flavor. The milk was correctly steamed and not split or too hot. The employees were so nice and held a great conversation as they worked, and the environment is really unique - an old Texaco station turned into a coffee bar and an actual bar on the other side.

I'll absolutely return the next time in in Durango. It's worth the stop, even if you're just driving through.

Best coffee shop in town! Baristas are really funny, super knowledgeable and psyched on giving you the best product, all the time. Both locations are fun to go to; this one is best in the spring, summer, fall when the garage doors are open and weather is good.

I stop here every time I pass through and it never fails! I order a caramel breve with an extra shot. They make the caramel syrup in house and the coffee is super creamy and strong!

Every time I’m anywhere near Durango I make sure to take a quick detour to Taste. They have without a doubt some of the highest quality coffee in the country, as well as amazing service and a unique and inviting environment. For anyone looking for an amazing espresso this is your place, and for anyone who doesn’t want coffee, they have a phenomenal chai as well.

Lynn deserves highest customer service points! Wonderful coffee and food that taste as good as it looks. This is the Lox sandwich

New location, but all the same great coffee as before. They get a custom espresso blend from Desert Sun. Now they have crepes! Delicious!

Super nice staff, very friendly. The food is fantastic. A lot of healthy options. Love the coffee house vibe, too! (I’m referring to the new location on the north side of town, FYI.)

Wow! People are super friendly, delicious food and coffee!!!!! We will def come back if our travels bring us back to Durango! Great job guys- u have something good going on there!!!

Best tasting espresso in town, IMHO. They source their coffee well and have recently opened a 2nd location. L

Keep up the beautiful options! Cheers!

Wow! We were blown away by the amazing taste, care and craft that goes into the coffee at Taste!

During our recent visit we had amazing cappuccinos, cortados and pour overs, and our favorite was probably the house-special Noisette.

Ronnie was kind to let us watch as he artfully pulled each shot, and explained his deliberate approach to making drinks where you can really taste great coffee. He combines great craft, art, and science to make something special, being involved all the way from bean selection to weighing shots to dial things in.

The coffee is the headline, with bonuses in the cool car-themed metal work/sculpture in the shop and close proximity to several great local food trucks in an outside courtyard.

This isn’t the place to go if you’re looking for blended/whipped iced frappacinios that you can get anywhere; it IS a don’t miss stop for those looking for special coffee where the taste is what matters.

We can’t wait to go back!
