★★★★★ 5.0 E Stewart · Jan 2026

Cutest spot and the customer service is amazing. Has a hometown feel, even if you aren't from there. Literally saw this place walking to the parking garage, who doesn't want Alternative Fuel????? Barista is very skilled, told her my order and it was delicious, yes I am one of those customize if you can kinda people (judge free zone, sorry not sorry, I like what I like). Food looked good. People were chatting it up at the tables.

★★★★★ 5.0 Britony Stegenga · Jan 2026

HIGHLY recommend this place. The food is seriously incredible. The quiches I tell everyone to go and get because they're amazing and I usually don't even like quiches. Plus the protein balls, baked goods, and the chicken pot pie was phenomenal. I have found since moving to Rapid from Sioux Falls, there are not a ton of good breakfast options that don't cost you an arm and a leg and also have healthy options. This is that place! Good coffee, good smoothie, good food. PLUS, you're supporting local.

Friendly staff. Great coffee and non-coffee drink options. Pastry and simple breakfast and lunch options. Plays Christian music as background music. Great place to sit and read while sipping coffee options

★★★★★ 5.0 John “American Car Prospector” Hames · Jun 2025

Locally owned and long-term managed coffee shop with bakery. It is located on the East side of the downtown Plaza. Beautiful facility with many comfortable seating options. Fruit smoothies, baked goods, teas, expresso, and ice cream. Immaculate and sparking clean. Park in the city garage or on the street.

I can’t say enough about how cute this place is. Everyone who works there is so nice, they made me the yummiest vegan mint mocha frappe, and they’re right on the square downtown so you can enjoy the live music while you sip your drink. Definitely check it out!
