Part of the fun of traveling is the people you meet. Hannah was amazing! We got salads, a sandwich and pastries . The salads were fresh and delicious.

You hardly ever see apricot as a choice If we were passing through again I would definitely stop. I recommended it to several people we met

What an excellent little breakfast spot in downtown Rapid City, South Dakota!…read more We went early one morning on our way to do some business in Rapid and we found tons of street parking right in front. The place was fairly quiet, so we got right up to the counter and placed our order for a apricot "pop tart" pastry, an Elvis waffle, and a turkey avocado sandwich with a coffee & an Americano. Service was congenial and swift. Seating is rustic and hip (they have an adorable Volkswagen van inside the cafe) and lots of nice seating. The coffees were great and the petite apricot "pop tart" was super tasty. My turkey sandwich was fresh with high quality turkey breast (looked like it was shaved off a breast of a big roasted turkey, not traditional cold cut pressed turkey) and delicious fresh ingredients (fresh avocado, sprouts, beautiful bread), but my husband's waffle stole the show! Smothered in peanut butter with sliced bananas, chocolate chips, and whipped cream, that was on top of a perfectly executed Belgian waffle - I kept stealing bites! It was absolutely delicious!! Looking forward to returning and trying something new (if I can keep myself from ordering the Elvis waffle or that delicious turkey avocado sandwich again!) ;)

Must try: Bacon Jam Avo Toast, Sausage Roll, and Cafe Miel Iced Latte!…read more Why: What a cute coffee shop that was in walking distance from our hotel. 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!

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.
