Lotus Up Espresso & Deli

Great food. The best people. Drive through only but very good coffee and food. One person in our group had trouble walking so one of the ladys at the front desk let us in so he didn't have to walk all the way around. View from patio is fantastic. Must stop for breakfast and enjoy the view, food, coffee, and nicest people you will ever find.

My family was staying in a cabin just outside Lead and found this place the last few days of our trip.

The first day we had AWESOME lattes and the mini scones were to die for.

We came back the next day for some breakfast and coffee and we were all impressed. The breakfast panini and fajita were DELICIOUS, and the bagel got a head nod from a very picky eater. We sat outside on the deck and enjoyed a gorgeous view.

I wish this place was near where I live because I would be there every day! Great food and coffee with awesome service :)

Great spot for coffee and scones. Wide selection of sandwiches, and lots of cute little things for sale too. The upstairs is so cozy to sit in, with a little free library and a lovely view of the park and the cut beyond. Friendly and accommodating staff, really nice atmosphere.

Paninis we’re mediocre, not a lot of ingredients! Then I assume because of labor shortages the tables had signs to “bus your own tables” which we had to do before we sat down and after because no one was checking and the previous patron didn’t. Prices were a little high, $10 for a panini and some chips, total of $30 for two sandwiches, small ice teas, and chips….

There are better coffee places near here to go to! Pump house I would recommend in Deadwood. Last week - summer 2021 my husband and I walked from our hotel nearby to enjoy coffee here since we saw people sitting on the deck. Unfortunately, there was a sign that said only drive through. While we are understanding of that, since there were people outside sitting we called only to find out those were the owners friends. I found this to be extremely rude. I wanted to enjoy coffee on the deck as well, but I guess since I'm not friends with the owner I didn't get that privelage. I wish they would have at least sat inside or something. We went to Java joint instead nearby. So I can't truly rate the coffee just the rude experience. I am sure the coffee is good but I didn't want to support that kind of partiality for certain customers. It's just unkind. If you have more time I would also recommend the pump house in deadwood nearby! It's SO good!

Super cute coffee spot with all the coffee options you'd want, and great food options as well. Friendly and helpful staff, too!

What an incredible place! We ran across it after we had been walking the hills in Lead!! Fantastic coffee and iced tea. The panini sandwiches melt in your mouth! We are from Sioux Falls and would go there every day if they were closer! There was drive up only and the line was LONG (for a reason)!! They were coming out to the vehicle to take orders and the wait was very brief! Such friendly staff!! We WILL be back!

Awesome local coffee. Incredible views. Worth finding.

We travelled from Colorado with 15 family members! Needed a quick coffee pick me up so we stopped here! Is it crazy that we felt immediately relaxed and positive? We loved the coffee and the service was friendly and great! Highly recommend if you are in Lead Sd.

Never visited today but, I did in the past and I was disappointed. So no more visits from me. Owner was rude. Food wasn't appealing.
