Best GF chocolate chip cookie I have had ever! My wife (who never likes gf items) ordered baked nutty bar and said it was really good!

This app guided me to Smileys, so glad I went almost everything is GF, was advised the baker was GF so understood the care. I had a GF sausage quiche, which was wonderful. I took away one each of the cookies, brownie and blueberry muffin. The service and care of the staff was outstanding.

Very good boba tea. We had just eaten lunch, so didn’t order any of the gf dessert options available, but it was nice to see so many choices. Staff was great!

Everything is gluten-free with the exception of the breakfast burritos. The quiche is delicious. And lots of good pastry items. Coffee was very good.

Review
This little coffee shop was a great little find in Durango. Housed in a former junior high school, the majority of their offerings are gluten free including muffins, pastries, cookies, etc. I enjoyed the BEST muffin of my entire life from the Smiley cafe. Would happily return next time I am in the area.
