After all, it was only slightly after 7 am and she seemed like she had just got done conquering the world and was eagerly awaiting round 2. Anyways, Dixon's was the place I went to get my last morning cup of coffee from on my recent trip to Rapid City and it did not disappoint. The golden milk with the added shot of espresso was very good and incredibly soothing. Just what I needed too, since I think something in the air on all those hikes was starting to affect me. I was especially drawn in by the fact that they make their own almond milk and use locally sourced ingredients. 10/10 would recommend. You guys have a good thing going here. Thanks!

The staff is super friendly, usually greeting us by name. Refills are complementary and the food is delish. We always go at breakfast time, before we start on errands, etc. We have become friends with several other "regulars" and that is quite enjoyable; to be greeted by name when we arrive, to visit with other regulars is always nice. Again, we will really miss our morning visits to Koyote Koffee. Trying to decide where to go in the mornings. Have tried several other establishments and will have to choose a new destination soon. So sorry to see KK go.

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.

This coffee shop is the type that has a window on each side where you can order from. On this morning there was a nice lady working the window and we ordered 2 - 12 oz Americanos as well as a 24 oz Americano for myself. After waiting a bit for the coffee to cool, I was finally able to try it. The coffee here didn't impress me much. While it wasn't bad, it also wasn't a flavor that suited me. I will say that it was a bit on the lighter side and smooth without any bitterness. The bottom line for me is that I probably would not head back here again in the future. While there was nothing wrong with the coffee per se, it just wasn't for me.
