    Love this ice cream shop. They truly have some really tasty ice cream and it's located in the cutest downtown center. Not to mention the shop always smells delicious and the service is always great!

    Solid ice cream place in Rapid City. The flavors are unique. I love the orange creamsicle the most. They have a good choice of flavors and you are able to try samples if needed. There's street parking available! A must in Rapid City!

    rocky road and coffee
    Julie D.

    Silver lining creamery has a few flavors and they are on rotation. We came in because we saw an interesting one - line and cilantro. I got a taste and it was actually good. However I went with a coffee and rocky road cone. It was just what was needed. Smooth and flavorful. The staff was also cheery, had a great vibe! Great quality ice cream without a high cost. Plenty of street parking nearby. Would recommend!

    Little piece of dessert heaven. Small place not so many choices, but don't need more if the ones they have are amazing. The cashier was sweet and funny. Come and check this place out.

    Four scoop sampler

    I got the four scoop sampler with coffee-toffee, salted caramel, Captain crunch, and the passionfruit. 4.99 and well worth it. My favorite was the coffee toffee with passion fruit a close second. Very flavorful!

    Ice cream flight
    Haley J.

    Yum. Yum. Yum. We came here 3 times in 5 days! Wait in the line, trust me! The ice cream all flavors had so much flavor and you could really taste all the flavors in each one. It was creamy, but didn't melt fast which was great because it was hot outside! The ice cream flight was SO fun and something I didn't find out until the last visit! But happy I was able to try more flavors before we headed home out of town! There was some tables inside, but not a ton, but there was way more outside! I suggest parking in the free parking garage behind the shop, park on the first floor right next to the door!

    Some people come to Rapid City for Mt Rushmore, the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, or the statues of the presidents, but you don't want to miss their incredible ice cream parlors. For hand scooped ice cream you cannot beat Silver Lining Creamery. They have a wide assortment of flavors, several choices for cones (and cups), and a really nice crew. This is a family-owned business that is located right in the downtown square. They have indoor and outdoor seating. A great place to go for dessert after lunch or dinner in one of the downtown restaurants (or skip the meal and get a double scoop).

    Huckleberry and vanilla!
    Tristyn B.

    Very good and hearty portions! I got a double scoop, vanilla and huckleberry, in a waffle bowl. While tasty, the huckleberry didn't have a much berry flavor as I would've liked, but it was detectable. The location is perfect for grabbing a scoop (or several) and sitting down to people watch in the square.

    Great place on the main square. Not bad selection and our choices were tasty. Definitely worth a visit for dessert.

    Variety of mini scoops

    Super cute ice cream shop located in the heart of downtown. They have some fun flavors like Lemon Oreo and Rose. The ice cream is delicious with nice somewhat subtle flavor. Mouthfeel is very creamy but not too heavy at the same time. We came to get dessert here two days in a row because we liked it so much. Service is also very friendly.

    Selection of homemade ice cream

    Great ice cream location in Rapid City. All homemade. Staff is personable and accommodating.

    After walking around Downtown, Art Alley, Main City Square, etc, we came across Silver Lining Creamery which prides itself in it's small hand made ice cream. They use local honey and Midwest dairy and created in small 2.5G batches. There is a glass window in which you can view them making their ice cream in the back. I ordered a cup with 3 flavors: Lemon Blueberry, Horchata, and Strawberry. They all were fresh tasting and creamy but the Horchata really stood out! They have many flavors including mint chip, pumpkin cheesecake, Oreo cake batter, berry blast, pineapple jalapeno, etc. You really can't go wrong..it's fresh made ice cream!

    Peanut Butter Oreo.  Yum!

The chocolate ice cream was really good and mixed with the crumbled Oreos perfectly, making each bite have little bits of cookies mixed in the ice cream. Highly recommend! Mom got Lauren's landslide and she really loved it too. She liked the vanilla and chocolate mixed ice cream as well as the huge cookie dough chunks. And how doesn't love caramel and chocolate on top of their ice cream?? We had to wait in line about 20-30 minutes, and then had to wait another 15 minutes or so before they called our name with our finished order at the window so be prepared to wait a little, especially if you visit during the weekend. But overall it was worth it to me. The ice cream was smooth and yummy and I loved the cookie pieces mixed into it.

I wish we were staying in town more than one night because I'd definitely come back again the next day!

A warm welcoming store with cookie aromas in the air! We went into this lovely little store and was greeted by a super nice young lady who was busily making cookies. She told us if we bought 6 we would get 2 free. So naturally being a cookie lover I said heck yes let's 6 and get 2 for free! We got 3 oatmeal raisin, 1 peanut butter, 1 snickerdoodle, 2 chocolate chip and 1 Oreo cookie All the cookies are loaded with chewy goodness!! Fresh and chewy..... so yummy!

But The Cookie Shop in downtown Rapid City aims to change that perception. This locally owned, cookie-centric bakery operated under the Mary's Mountain Cookies moniker until a recent name change, but everything else about the shop has remained the same. The storefront is tucked underneath an unlabeled black awning beside the local legend Tally's Silver Spoon. Inside the single-room space, shelves of ingredients and stainless steel industrial baking equipment stretch all the way back. Christmas lights are strung from the ceiling, and the deep purple and forest green walls are minimally decorated with mountain-y tchotchkes. The blackboard counter is chalked with a Mt Rushmore-themed mural, and each cookie variety has a Sharpie-on-parchment paper description. I stopped by The Cookie Shop on a weekday morning, and I ordered right away. Across all the cookies, the dough was chewy with a dynamically rich flavor. Our far-and-away favorite was the Cookies 'N Dream -- Oreo buttercream sandwiched between two Oreo-based cookies. You wouldn't be alone in mistaking the thick, creamy frosting for ice cream, and the hockey puck size of each component felt like a sophisticated whoopee pie. But don't sleep on the more toned-down offerings. The Hopscotch (oatmeal-chocolate chip with buttscotch swirls and sugar crystals) paired solid flavors with dynamic texture, while the Americano (chocolate chip with espresso-infused dough) traded sweetness for decadence. Even the day-old leftovers far exceeded most bakeries' freshest of offerings. The service was friendly and efficient, and we were directed around the corner to the sister shop, Speed Goat Express, for coffee. The most expensive cookie varieties clocked in below the $4 mark (hence, comparable to Starbucks, Panera, or Crumbl). But the quality was god-level; it would be no exaggeration to rank The Cookie Shop's creations among the best cookies I've ever eaten, full stop.

I noticed the fries missing first and they were kind enough to give me them but the way they prepared my burger was lazy at best. My father ordered chili fries along with a concrete mixer mini, and the mixer was so melted down he could have drank it with a straw. I would also like to mention that in the wrapper on my burger there were two pieces of shredded lettuce, so I suppose they didn't completely forget the ingredients but instead put it on the side. I mean they might as well have just done the same with the grilled onions since they were similar in portion size. This was my second time at this location and I am honestly a little surprised and disappointed, the other one I go to is usually fantastic and never misses a thing, they even prepare the food nicely. I hope this doesn't happen often here.

I ordered the SMALL value basket with two chicken tenders and fries which is what I ALWAYS order no matter what location I'm at. Very disappointing that it was almost $9 when at every other location it's only $7. I got my food and the tenders were SO FREAKIN SMALL!!!!! When you order a small value basket it's only the fries and drink that are small, not the chicken. So I paid more and got an even smaller portion than normal. Also ordered a small concrete mixer. It was good but the custard wasn't as thick and creamy as it usually is. It was very liquidy and was more like a thick milkshake. And that was when they handed it to me. And even that was more expensive. I usually pay $4 and this was almost $6. If you're gonna charge more for the same food, please make sure you give the customer what they pay for. I was very disappointed but still happy to have food to eat.
