Desert Sun Coffee Roasters

if you're the kind of person who needs to actually sit and think before the day starts, sawyer drive is a quieter corner of durango than downtown, and that matters. desert sun coffee roasters operates out of suite a at 284 sawyer dr, a light-industrial stretch that doesn't perform for tourists, which tends to attract people who came for the coffee rather than the scene. they roast their own beans, so what ends up in your cup has a shorter chain between origin and extraction than you'd get at a spot buying wholesale. the reviews are consistently strong, and have been for a while. if you're heading over on a weekday morning, build in a few extra minutes. the cortado is a good call.
