Needed food. Wanted quick and simple. Nothing heavy. It's how a friend and I ended up here…read more Just off the main drag of the downtown area, parking is free and a lot easier to find. I don't know what it's like when it's busy because on the day we arrived, the entire area was a ghost town. Not even sleepy - no cars on the road and this cafe was even still opening. Walk in, order and find a seat. Not a lot of seating but there's both indoors and out. We chose to sit indoors as it was a little warm and I didn't want to be out under the sun. See pics of the food. Wanted salad. I tend to always want salad. Went with the Springfield. Crisp and fresh - really enjoyed the toppings and dressing. Harmony. That's how I'd describe this salad. I'd definitely have it again. Grabbed the Hot Springs. Wanted a cold sandwich. Wanted an Italian. Closest I could find and the vinaigrette was even on the side so I could add as much or as little as I wanted. I remember enjoying this sandwich so much I considered grabbing a second for the road. However, we're traveling and gotta try other foods and places. This would be one place I'd go back to if or when I find myself back in Rapid City. This cafe is connected to the brewery (Hay Camp Brewing). In fact, that's where the restrooms are if you need it.

The staff (especially Nicole) is incredibly kind, friendly, and genuinely proud of what they do, and it really shows in how they interact with customers. Freshly brewed coffee, fresh baked goods, and amazing breakfast burritos made our visit a real treat. We enjoyed a full breakfast for $28 including tip, which is such a great value these days. Highly recommended if you're looking for quality food, warm service, and a nostalgic atmosphere. Support local businesses like this, you won't be disappointed!

I'm pretty picky about rhubarb pie, and theirs gets two thumbs up from me. My husband got the raspberry rhubarb jalapeño pie & it's now his new favorite. It just works.

Coming from Wisconsin where we pride ourselves to having the best ice cream/custard, when a place…read moresays home made ice cream they better make it real good. This place outsources their ice cream. I think it's by kemps, but the ice cream we got looked and tasted old. Like it's been sitting there for a few weeks. I say this cause you can tell it's more ice, than cream. It has a weird sweetness to it. It doesn't taste like real dairy or at all fresh made like they advertised. The pie was ok. The crust was fine, but the filling seemed like store bought pudding with some coconut mixed into it. Not enough coconut. Not something I would come back for. Over all they say everything is home made. They're not.

We were camping at the KOA here so decided to try the Peak Grill and Taproom on our last evening…read more We were still on Eastern Time Zone, so came in around 4 for dinner. We were greeted with: "Where would you like to sit?" I replied that we hadn't been there before.. would have liked to know our options (more on that later) but the disinterested hostess grabbed a couple menus and took off. We didn't get far - there was a small table for two overlooking the deck (I might have liked to sit there had I known...), right next to a short ramp down about 12" from the hostess area. I believe this area was originally a porch, so the floor wasn't very heavily reinforced. To the point that every time a staff person came through, it was as though Hermann Munster was trudging through - our entire table shook, my iced tea actually spilled over the top. This went on through our entire meal. I would have said something, but there was no obvious manager in sight, and what could they have done? Perhaps moved us, but I grit my teeth and went on with Life. On a better note, the food was very good: I had the Buffalo Meatloaf with mashed potato. The gravy was a bit overpowering - it's a shame that this is the first time I'd had buffalo and have no idea what it tastes like. I should have ordered gravy on the side. My wife had macaroni & cheese with a piece of grilled chicken. We both had small salads to start. We're not heavy eaters, and usually only get through about 1/2 of our meals, so we were done rather quickly. Unfortunately, there was no sign of our server for ~10 minutes while we waited patiently. There was only one other party in the room, so it's not like she was occupied with other customers. I finally had to go ask for our check at the hostess station. Even then, someone else brought our check. We're usually big tippers, and frequently will tip 100% for great service. We tipped the nominal 15% and left. We'd go again... maybe. But we wouldn't sit anywhere near the ramp.
