College Drive Cafe

One of our local go to breakfast spots. Always a good meal, always happy servers. Small, and if you have to wait a bit, it’s worth it!

Very nice local place. Got there while driving through. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and the french toast was delicious! Waiters were all friendly and fast. Best thing: their coffee is actually a bit strong! The first coffee that tasted like coffee in my 3 weeks in the US! Loved it!

This is the second time we've eaten here and it was just as good the second time. Very reasonable pricing. Expect a little wait on the busy days as it is a small, intimate dining area. They have a smart phone based wait line and notifications so you can see how long to expect and how many are in front of you. Works very well!!

Servers are always sweet and attentive. Pancakes and French toast are EPIC!!! Both are easily as good as Cracker Barrel, if not better. They're are a ton of vegan and vegetarian options on the menu plus your basic breakfast fare. We will definitely be back.

The coffee is STRONG so if you are a wimp with your coffee like me, ask for extra cream.

Enjoy. It's worth going off the beaten path for this one. (Very, very close to the college).

This place takes me back to my childhood. Reminds me of the diner I would go to as a kid with my Grandpa. Nothing fancy, which makes it great, and the food never disappoints. Chicken fried steak and the breakfast burritos are fantastic... Among many other things. The waitlist is super convenient since this is a popular spot.

Such a great dive breakfast joint! Love it! Great coffee, staff is friendly, and food great. For the vegan, I had a veggie/potato bowl with curry sauce! Amazing!! Can't wait to go back! Just have patience to wait 15-30 minutes if you hit a busy time.

First time eating here and we will go back. The service was good. Very crowded when we were there, but the folks were pleasant and the food was really good. Cooked just like we ordered. Good flavors and and well prepared. The waitress was very friendly and nice. She checked back often and my wife said their coffee was really good.

This place is everything we were looking for that we can’t get in our usual big cities (NYC/MIA/ATL)… all of the items were very good in preparation, portion and flavour…
the fluffy and massive and flavour-filled pancakes and REAL maple syrup (try blueberry they’re big-ones), the breakfast burrito with green chilli sauce, and scrambled eggs with a biscuit - all very satisfying and for the price it’s also very fulfilling. The potatoes … ah so good.

Coffee is a bit bitter (cowboy-esque) but also part of the charm and goes well with the sweeter items and bread choices.

Was one of the best Breakfasts we have had in a long time. This is like going to Grandmas. The food is really god and a lot of it. The service was really great and very friendly. We will definitely go back again.

Awesome little cafe! Food and service was wonderful. Parking is small and very limited. Well worth the effort once you get there. The only one problem I had was people who stand by the entrance and hold the door open because they are not considerate enough think about the cold wind getting in. The front area has enough room for 2 (TWO) to stand. So if you have a party of 4, please ask 3 to wait outside until your table is ready!

By far the best breakfast place in Durango and one of the best I've ever been to. Top notch food, service and vibes.

For a Sunday brunch, no place beats this Cafe! Off the beaten path, small family owned, and prices are incredible for the quality and tasteful food! Both healthy and hearty options available. I highly recommend either one of their Benedict's, or getting a scramble with the Benedict sauce, mmmm to die for.

I had the French toast breakfast here and it was definitely top notch. I haven't had French toast before quite like this one... very thick and spongy bread. It was incredible. Staff was very friendly too.

Best blueberry pancakes I have Ever had in my life! The staff are Sp personable and the services is great! My second time to eat here. There are no places in Texas like this! I’d almost move here just to have breakfast here. My first time, the waitress was Tiffany. Haven’t learned the name of the other waitress yet, but Tiffany let her know I lime My coffee hot. Love it!

This is a great breakfast spot. It’s smallish and they get busy so make a reservation or get there early!

I remember this restaurant from my college days at Fort Lewis. It's always had great food and friendly service. I'm even more excited that they have the most awesomely named sandwich I've ever had. I highly recommend that you pop in and try the Warman melt.

I would almost call this a hidden gem if it weren't for the fact that I found it my choosing the cafe in Durango with the highest rating on Google maps.

I came here for breakfast and enjoyed the French toast with eggs and bacon. The food was cooked to perfection and the servings very generous.

Despite being slightly short handed when I arrived I was able to place my order and receive my did within 10 minutes - a testament to their excellent service

Cute, quaint Cafe. Wait time was 20 minutes. Text message to our phone when our seating was ready. Service was great. Waiter was friendly. Chicken fried steak was very good and my eggs over easy were just perfect. My husband's burrito was very good however the green chili lacked flavor.

We were in Durango for 3 days, our food and experience on the first day brought us back for breakfast every day! My first day I had the Eggs Benedict, yum! The second day was the Blueberry Pancake Breakfast it was a plate sized pancake made with fresh blueberries, eggs and I had ham, fabulous! The last day I had the French Toast Breakfast, omg it was the best I've ever had! The prices were very reasonable and we were served quickly. It was the best way to start our busy days.

Busy when we went (mid Thursday morning), but super yummy food and nice large portions. I got the breakfast burrito with Christmas colored chili sauces.

Went on a sister's/cousin trip to Durango to board the train to Silverton, and found this little gem!! The food was outstanding... the homemade biscuits and jelly were so so so good!!! The service was fantastic and our waitress was super in every way. They were down a waitress and were still upbeat, friendly and made our experience the best it could be!!! Didn't meet the cooks, but there is some serious talent in that department!!!
Would definitely recommend this place and would make it my first stop if I were to be in Durango again! Thank you all so much!!!
