Jaima Knutson-Colson, RE/MAX Results
Very nice atmosphere. They had the entire building decked out with Christmas decorations which was awesome. We had a snack and coffee. We both had a carmamello latte, which was caramel and marshmallow. It was awesome. The staff was very friendly, service was excellent. They have really good yogurt parfaits and the breakfast sandwiches are to die for. They have good homemade baked goods and other food items that are great to try if you’re in the area. It’s very convenient to have a good coffee shop at main Street square so you can get coffee before you walk around downtown.

Very surprised to see that this place only has 3.5 Stars on Yelp. I stopped here needing a quick bite while waiting for my friend to arrive in Rapid City. This place was exactly what I was looking for. It was also my introduction to the Black Hills and was certainly NOT what I was expecting in terms of dining options.

Absolutely fantastic! The food and prices were absolutely amazing. The service was fast, friendly and knowledgeable. I ordered a garden quiche, a spinach wrap veggie sandwich with Swiss cheese, and a strawberry banana smoothie. The garden quiche was delicious, it was homemade and not at all greasy. You could just tell the ingredients were fresh.

Met friends here for coffee. When I saw the menu, I could not resist trying a Peaceful Paradise Smoothie, instead. It was really tasty. We were able to sit at a table with our drinks and enjoy some good conversation and great background music. Great atmosphere, nice little place. Glad to have tried it and will go back again.

If you’re looking for good tea, this is not the place. It is seriously weak. Their bubble tea is also pretty terrible. The quality of the boba is bad, and prepared poorly. Feels like they jumped on the bandwagon to check a box. Maybe they’re primarily a coffee house and that’s good, but no idea.

Our drinks were delicious, however it took way to long to get them to us. I guess the place was understaffed. I felt that the staff could have been friendlier, but instead seemed flustered and didn’t care to help me with my choice. It was my first time there, so I had some questions about the drink choice, and they weren’t really eager to help. The place seemed cute though, and was also busy. A nice local alternative to Starbucks. Cute decor.

This is my husband’s favorite coffee place in rapid city to date. I’m not a big coffee nut myself but there are so many other options to choose from. I had the chicken salad wrap and cranberry smoothie. Everything was delicious, fresh, and fast.

Sadly, the latte I asked for was made incorrectly then made again, incorrectly. I asked for an iced almond latte, mistake was that they made it hot. And to correct they just pour the hot latte over ice. I threw it away, wasting it, after one sip.

Our barista was fantastic, and everyone loved their coffee! The espresso is clearly very good quality, and my mocha actually tasted like coffee, not too sweet.
