"Cute bookstore with more coffee options than you probably expect. For the novelty alone this is a fun stop while in Telluride (plus my coffee was solid.)"
"Delicious coffee! The line easily can grow out of the doors, it’s that good. The Cortado was worthy. Cute atmosphere and very friendly staff! I highly recommend!"
"great atmosphere and kind service, serving solid coffee and ok drinks and Bites. I love the vibe. across 3 cappuccino, the morning crew did a much better job. breakfast burritos were good, but small. Aperol spritz was decent, but a bit sweet and lacked citrus. there is no wifi. the people are sweet and I will return"
"A Telluride institution! Lots of offers by local authors and writers. Great coffee. I do miss the old location, but the new location is a quick 5 minute walk."
