"Like the post office or town hall, a good hometown diner is an important pillar in any community. College Drive Cafe sets the standard with familiar staples like omelets and french toast, plus Southwest-specific flavors like the puebloan benedict and the breakfast chicken tamales. Well worth your attention, the biscuits and gravy are made in-house with locally sourced pork. It’ll be hard to ignore the sheer volume of pancakes coming out of the kitchen, so order some for the table for good measure. This is a popular spot with the locals and offers limited seating, so try to visit on a less busy day of the week or lean into the weekend rush." - Kristin Smith

Hands down the best breakfast in the Four Corners region. And yeah, we've tried 'em all. With fresh ingredients cooked by a crew that knows what they're doing and a friendly, helpful staff, College Cafe is ALWAYS a good choice. If you're hungry, check out the Bomb Burrito; the chorizo is to die for, and if you like Eggs Benedict, you won't find a better hollandaise within an 8-hour drive. And locally roasted coffee for the win! The new Downtown Durango digs are bright, cozy, and clean. Get on the waitlist when it's busy, it's worth it😎

We enjoyed breakfast here one morning of our stay and really liked the place. It's small and the staff is busy and friendly. I had the Puebloan Benedict and she had the classic breakfast. Both were excellent and came with a good portion of home fries. Great place to enjoy a breakfast made to order.

Stopped in for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised with the different menu options. I chose the coconut curry scramble and it was delicious! You can choose the variations as omelet or scramble. The plate comes with several accompaniments but I chose to only have toast. The house coffee is so good and is the local roaster Desert Sun. All of the staff is very nice! I highly suggest giving them a try.

Great place to eat, we’ve been having breakfast here for years. The food is consistently good, and the staff is always very friendly. They’ve recently moved to a new location that is even better but the new place still has the same familiar feeling and great food.

Talk about fluffy omelettes! Cooked to perfection and very tasty! Great place to stop for a bite to eat!

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!

Small place but probably the most affordable place for breakfast. The potatoes were boiled, I think, but not bad. If you guys crisped them up a little before serving them, they'd rate a little higher but breakfast was pretty good any way. I'm glad I ate here and probably will again the next time I'm in town.
