Wandering through Durango with the pups on a hot day. Really only stopped in to grab a cold drink since there was a shady spot to park the dogs while I went in. So glad I did! Cute little deli that serves smoothies, pastries, breakfast and paninis with a little store attached. Decided to order the panini BLT to eat on the patio with the dogs. It was very tasty, with lots of bacon and grilled nicely. Friendly and fast service!

Ah — coffee and GREAT coffee ! Ordered a scone, which was heavenly and a veg breakfast burrito– off the hook awesome ! Hit the spot before hitting the trails.
Friendly service, lots of stuff to see in the newsstand side and free wifi !
Great place to hang whatever the weather condition is ;)

Stopped hear to grab some iced drinks, escape the heat, and acclimate to the altitude. The baristas were really nice and gave us tips for altitude sickness. They have tons of magazine titles to pick from and some fun games easy for travel.
The chai freeze is delicious!

This place carries a lot of unique and hard to find birthday/​all-​occasion cards. It’s especially catering to the off-​beat humor cards which I’m always looking for. The magazine selection is very good and a fun place to stop and browse for things.
The coffee shop side isn’t half bad either. Since they have a lot of ice cream and also serve coffee I discovered (it may be an off-​menu item) they can make a really incredible espresso milkshake. Try it!

Great coffee, amazingly friendly staff, and more reading material then you can read in a month. What more can you ask for? Best place for a cup of coffee and an information upload

Magpie’s has a great selection of reading material and a fantastic little coffee bar. I’m not 100% sure, but I think they even have ice cream.
Their Chai tea is to die for! It looks super simple to make, even if you buy the same ingredients and make it at home, but it just doesn’t taste the same. I’m pretty sure the people that work there are magic baristas — their beverages should be synonymous with orgasms… I mean, truly amazing coffee.

Being that there’s no B&N/Borders in this town where you can spend hours catching up on the latest gossip mag or browse the latest book arrivals, this place has sufficient supplies of magazines that you can catch up on. Only problem is, this place is not so big that you can feel comfortable enough to hang out for long periods of time reading their magazine for free without feeling guilty. There is an outdoor patio you can hang out at & enjoy a scoop of ice cream or coffee that they also sell. However, I don’t think you can take a magazine outside without buying it. Their plus is the patio seatings during a sunny Durango afternoon.

This coffee shop is more of a magazine stand than coffee shop.
If you ever need a magazine stop in, the selection is endless. The baristas are half friendly half stand-​offish and the coffee is always adequate.

They just don’t make newsstands like this anymore. I stopped in last Friday for my WSJ and NY Times fix and stayed for the magazines. After all, I had been in the wilderness for over a week and this inquiring mind needed to know!
The only thing missing was a big cigar selection (for my box storage needs) and one of those Indian statues. There’s also a nice outdoor area to hang out for your reading (analog or digital) and/​or «dining» pleasure.

I had my first ever peanut butter + chocolate pie at Magpies. Mmmm… pie perfection. My bf and I also sampled the vanilla ice cream — also good — and a key lime soda. We don’t drink coffee, but they had all the standard coffee drinks to choose from. Quick service, yummy pies, decent prices.
They also have wi-​fi if you have your computer in tow.
