Between the Covers Bookstore and Bruno Cafe is a popular spot in Telluride, open 24/7 for web orders. It features a cute atmosphere with a great selection of books, including Colorado and Telluride-specific items. The store has a lovely sitting area to work or relax while enjoying the snowfall. The coffee is highly praised, especially the delicious Cortado, and the cafe offers more options than expected. Friendly staff and a fun experience make it a favorite destination for visitors and locals alike.
Great coffee, service, and space. We had a lovely, calm, morning coffee here when other places in town were crazed. Highly recommend finding this place. Barista knew what he was doing.

Cute bookstore with more coffee options than you probably expect. For the novelty alone this is a fun stop while in Telluride (plus my coffee was solid.)

Lovely bookstore! Great selection with very friendly and helpful staff. Great selection of Colorado/Telluride specific items, also.
Telluride's literary mecca, this beloved store is stacked with more than 10,000 books at any given time. The expertly curated regional books section is a fount of the Wild West's writing prowess, with illustrative tomes on the town's lurid backstory (you'll want to peruse Tomboy Bride: A Woman's Personal Account of Life in Mining Camps of the West). When your eyelids get heavy, head to the tiny coffee bar-squirreled away at the back of the shop-for a caffeine jolt to bolster an afternoon of reading.
