Tons of drink options from coffee to tea to smoothies! They had 4 different size options for your drink of choice and the pricing was comparable to most coffee shops. I got an iced vanilla latte and could tell it was made with high quality coffee.

The boba drink we ordered tasted bland no flavor at all. Employees were okay. The place looks nice and neat. I would probably go back but not for the boba drinks. Edit after reading the owner’s response: I asked for bubble tea with almond syrup and bubble tea with hazelnut syrup and both drinks didn’t taste like there was hazelnut or almond in it. IT TASTED BLAND. The boba itself was ok but the drink wasn’t. I know my drinks and I stand by my review.

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.

Coffee is amazing, and they have gluten-free options. Quiche was so good. God bless you!

Gluten free options, made on a separate grill. Fast and friendly service. And my favorite chai tea ever.

I went there during restaurant week. I was given the smallest cup of coffee I've ever had in my life. It was delicious but very expensive even @ the discounted price.

Average coffee at best, terrible music really expensive…. 7.41 for a 16oz. Macchiato with coconut milk…. Plus 1$ tip for a grand total of 8.41$ If I could sum it up in one word “meh”.

One of the worst lattes I have ever had. Burnt coffee, watery mess. My girlfriend got the drip coffee, which was also burnt and under-brewed. The saving grace was that my grilled sandwich was really good. BUT. If you’re a coffee place and have bad coffee…. Better to get a latte from somewhere else.

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.

So for a tiny piece of cheesecake it's about 5$ after tax... they are taking advantage of people for mediocre food and coffee.. what a joke... pricing their food n coffee like their special. .

This is my favorite spot in town and is definitely my 'go-to.' Their flavored lattes are excellent, and I love the rotating, seasonal drink menu. I also love their salads and desserts. I come here at least once a week - I don't agree with the reviews about the unfriendly staff. I have personally never experienced or witnessed that. In fact, one day Patty offered me a cushion to sit on while I did school work. She has also taken time to sit down and chat with me. That's above and beyond. They do get busy at times, but that's what we want to see for these small businesses. It's in a great location, too. Highly recommend.

Friendly local coffee place, but it was definitely overpriced ($8+ for a quad latte!!) and the coffee had a chemical/plastic aftertaste. Might have just been a bad roast, but I don’t think I’ll be back.

This was on a Saturday so the 30 minute wait for fuel bites, yogurt fruit parfait, a bubble tea and chai seemed a bit long, but we were patient was it was very busy downtown. We were already back to the car before my daughter noticed that her straw in her boba was not big enough to get any boba out? Maybe they just don't have the big straws. Also, she said her boba was not like any other boba she has ever had; she did not like it but enjoyed her parfait, fuel bites were great, chai was good but not as creamy and vanilla as I like (maybe I should have asked for extra flavor).
