We drove by and saw a lot of people so had to try the next morning for breakfast. So glad we did because we loved the Sausage Roll and Bacon Jam Avo Toast! I also loved my Cafe Miel Iced Latte. We also shared the Aussie Breakfast, which was good, hearty, and filling. Notes: Workers were welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Clean shop with tables for small and large parties. Outside seating also available. Clean bathroom as well. This was a great way to start our morning before a long drive to Yellowstone!

My husband and I like to try different coffee places when we come to Rapid City so we stopped here…read moreafter seeing it on Yelp. We had the best experience here. The staff is so friendly and it has a clean, eclectic coffee house vibe. We had their espresso blended drinks and they were perfection. They had several house made bakery items so we tried the crème brûlée donut and a Brookie, which is brownie/cookie combination. Both were delicious! We will definitely stop here again on our next trip to Rapid City! Such a pleasant experience!

These pastries are rather bountiful. We selected the cardamon roll, coffee bun, cinnamon roll, morning bun, chocolate croissant, and a slice of banana bread. We got these mostly to go home for future nibbling but had to sample each. I expected the cinnamon roll to be the winner but the coffee bun was by far the most outstanding with its cookie butter filling. The lattes were exceptionally delightful with the right amount of espresso kick and the syrups were not too sweet. The quiche was like a slice of cake! Light, flakey, and delish. My breakfast sandwich was unexpectedly wonderful with a toasted brioche bun, egg, sausage and garlic aioli. Bitesized potatoes made the small plate complete. Believe me, you won't be sour from choosing to dine here. You'll be back!

As someone who loves finding quality artisan foods, this place absolutely exceeded my expectations…read more The jalapeño cheese sourdough was phenomenal, a perfectly chewy crumb, and just the right balance of sharp cheese and spicy jalapeños in every bite. It was fresh, flavorful, and impossible to stop eating. The hot Calabrian salami was equally impressive. It had the bold, savory flavor and gentle heat you'd expect from authentic Calabrian salami, with a rich depth that made it stand out from anything you find at a typical grocery store. You can really tell they prioritize quality ingredients and traditional craftsmanship. If you're looking for authentic, delicious products that taste like they were made with care, this is definitely a place worth visiting. I'll absolutely be back to stock up and try even more!

I have only had their coffee "shakes", which I would say are an attempt at a Frappucino. They charge more than Starbucks ($5 + tax for a 24 oz!), but are nowhere near as good. They add so much ice to them that you have to poke your straw around and "drink" it a straw full at a time. I usually give up and use a spoon or scrape it put of the cup with the straw. Speaking of the straws: They can't even be bothered with giving one to you. You have to get it out of a jar. They are cheap, skinny and flimsy straws. As i type this, I've been working on my drink so long that I can taste the plastic from the straw. They also don't accept credit/debit cards. Any costs associated with accepting these could certainly be paid for with part of the price of the drink. The one big positive is their baked goods. Cookies and brownies are delicious. However, this is a COFFEE shop, so I am basing my rating solely on the drinks I have had. I would much rather support a local business, as opposed to a national chain, but I'd choose Starbucks over this location any day.
