The Smiley Cafe

The café is located inside an old junior high school building that has been converted into comfortable relaxing coves, the Cafe, a whole section of local artists' studios/wares to browse, and small business offices. Love it! The Smiley Cafe has a limited, but tasty, menu for breakfast and lunch, specialty coffees, a good tea selection, smoothies, and bottled drinks. Highly recommend a unique place to chill.

Quiche was delicious. So was the smoothie and I got some GF blueberry muffins to go. So nice to find excellent Gluten Free Options when travelling and this place delivered.

Atmosphere is great. I hang out and work weekly. Good coffee and teas. All baked goods are gluten free. I'm glad they have gluten free options, but my preference would be to options that are not gluten free.

Great atmosphere, comfy seating, delicious drinks and food. Baked good are so gluten free. Even the macarons which are so good and have different flavors everyday. They have great food with lots of vegetarian options. Great place to l to hang out, catch up with someone, do some work, or just relax. Make sure your take the time to walk through the area next to it where artists have working areas and also have items for sale!

Situated in a historic junior high building, and co-located with a collective of art studios, the Smiley Cafe is a must stop in Durango. Coffee was excellent, service friendly and efficient, and ambiance will have you relaxing in no time.

As must for gluten free persons. My friend was ecstatic over all the GF options, muffins, cookies, sandwiches and more. I loved the decaf and spice option on my delicious chai latte. We
snagged the couches and watched the kids indulge and enjoy their boba teas. Great spot!

What an awesome coffee shop. The atmosphere is perfect. And the coffee is great!

Not gonna lie thought this boba place was gonna just be passable but it was quite a pleasant surprise! Be aware though that the boba place is actually on the Northeast corner of College Dr and Main Ave opposite Michel's corner crepes.

They have a good menu plus their black pearl boba is on POINT. Really chewy and fresh. Definitely give this place a shot if you're wanting some boba tea 🧋

The Smiley Cafe is a hidden gem in Durango. The coffee is great. I think they use 81301 coffee. The atmosphere is very relaxing and has a good vibe. There are several desks and couches available. They also have some small food options. Overall, I really enjoy coming here to get work done or catch up with friends and clients.

So many different zones, so many outlets. Good wifi. I was freaked out it was in an old school, but they repurposed the space nicely.
