There’s nothing like the smell of fresh bread! Durango has a plethora of bakeries producing a wide variety of homemade fresh baked goods. While there are too many to indulge them all, here are a few of our top picks.
Bread
Bread, simply and aptly named for the delicious loaves of bread their business was founded on over 20 years ago. Both locations are Durango staples serving a diverse menu of breads, sandwiches, pastries, coffee, and more. The newer downtown location has additional brunch items using local ingredients for a tasty bite! Daily and weekly bread offerings, gluten free options, and build-your-own toast/waffles are just the tip of their menu to try.
Serious Delights
A seriously good bakery, Serious Delights is located in the Nature’s Oasis building. They also have a special daily rotating bread menu and expand into pizza dough, hamburger/hotdog buns, and bagels. Pastries and desserts include daily gluten free options for croissants, granola, bars, muffins, tarts, pies, cookies, and danishes, just to name a few.
Durango Doughworks
A popular donut shop and breakfast/lunch eatery, Durango Doughworks is located on North Main Avenue. Specializing in cake, long john, bismarks, old fashioneds, twists, and raised donuts (and donut holes!), their menu also offers a variety of hearty breakfast staples as well. A full dine-in menu with eggs, hash browns, burritos, bagels, pancakes, and more are ideal for a nice morning meal.
