Don’t let the clusters of cyclists in bike shorts outside Bread scare you off—there’s a reason local athletes carbo-load here. As the name suggests, Bread showcases a variety of baked goods, with traditional mainstays like French baguettes competing with more inventive offerings like sourdough red onion baguettes, raisin pecan loaves, and focaccia with goat cheese and carmelized onions. Bakers arrive daily before 3 a.m. to create these savory treats as well as sweeter offerings like cinnamon rolls, apricot ginger scones, and “Sow Your Oats” cookies. Despite the “Hippies use side door” sign above the only entrance, Bread caters to progressive folks with organic ingredients and the motto “Bread not bombs.” Tourists can grab a sandwich or pizza on their way to Vallecito Lake (those looking to round out their picnic can head across the street to Star Liquors). Just remember to bring cash because credit cards are not accepted.

If you could take just one photo: comic-book label of “True Blonde Ale”

Ska Brewing Co. epitomizes the vibe of Durango: fun-loving and irreverent. The brewery was founded in 1995 by a couple of recent college grads who had gotten good at homebrewing when they were too young to legally buy beer. Ska’s motto is: “It takes characters to brew beer with character,” and they’ve succeeded, winning numerous tasting medals at the Great American Beer Festival. Ska Brewing celebrates craft beer - with whimsical names like "Buster Nut Brown Ale” and “Mexican Logger” - and attracts locals any day of the week with events like Happy Hour Yoga and the Thursday Ska-becue with grilling and live music. Best of all, everyone's invited - dogs and kids run around in the beer garden while those over 21 enjoy a brewski in the sun.
