The Smiley Cafe

Yes, it’s another exposed beam and brick coffee house…sure they are a dime a dozen but Smiley Cafe is an old school building that is offers office space and shares space with some amazing art that you can purchase. It’s worth a visit.

Cool location. Wouldn’t expect a coffee shop and thought it was a school but great art and atmosphere and delicious coffee and smoothies. Had a yummy breakfast and took some delicious muffins to go. Definitely glad we went!

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.

Very cool location with art exhibits and a large local bulletin. The Peruvian mocha was not too sweet, and the sausage quiche was tasty! Highly recommend.

Excellent breakfast sandwiches, quiche, coffee, hot cocoa and pastries at great prices in a relaxing atmosphere with great service. Gluten free is an added bonus.

Great gluten-free muffins! Cookies are great too!

The Smiley Café is just complete delight. Between the lovely customer service, amazing options for drinks and food, and artistic atmosphere, this is my go to for coffee dates with friends and colleagues alike.

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.

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 🧋

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!

Homey, low-key cafe with quick bites, fast internet, and gluten free options. Try the hot chocolate - really warmed me up after a long drive! Hard to find, since it's inside a coop/housing complex. Circle the Smiley Building until you see the sign outside.

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.

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!

A little hidden gem, this cafe offers gluten free baked goods, quiche, grab and go sandwiches and delicious coffee and Boba tea (try the peach). Great spot to enjoy a drink and read a book or chat with friends. Very friendly folks!

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.

Such a cute spot! Yummy drinks and kid friendly. So much history to the building. And if you walk around outside you’ll find some awesome fruit trees and hidden fairy gardens along 3rd ave.

This is a very interesting space. There is a coffee shop surrounded by art studio space which functions as an art gallery as well. There are other office spaces as well ranging from healing, yoga, dance, US Senator, the wilderness society and attorneys. There is good parking and the building is near downtown Durango.

Yum, yum, yum! The brownies are delicious and so are the ginger snap cookies! I'm not even a gingersnap person. Don't let the prices scare you. $9.00 for 2 brownies? Normally, no. But, sure glad I did. In fact, I am thinking of going back today. The sandwiches with gluten-free bread looked amazing but I wasn't hungry yet. Soon!

Wow, I want to say that was the best quiche I’ve ever had in my life!! I had the sausage and it was super flavorful and delicious, and the crust was awesome too. Thank you for providing so many gf options!! It’s so rare to find and so appreciated. Yum 😋😋
