owner attacks you with snarky comments if you leave a (justified) negative review. don't give this clown your business.

Excellent!!! Tried the charcoal mocha for the first time. ??And the hot chocolate made from whole milk is amazing!! A lot of home made grab and go. Skylar was super sweet. If I lived in the area, this would be my go-to hang out. Great job!

coffee and breakfast was delicious, staff was prompt and helpful. desserts were warmed and the atmosphere was laid back, and felt like a cozy friends house

I asked ahead of time if they put ice in their smoothies because I like it better with frozen fruit. They said they use frozen fruit, and when I tried it, I could tell it had ice in it, and I asked and it did, and they refused to remake it for me. I regret tipping them.

Great gluten free options! Stopped here for breakfast as we were passing through and it was lovely to find somewhere to get celiac-safe cookies, quiche, and snacks for the road. Grateful to the staff for all their patience with questions about allergens.

Stopped here during a cross country road trip. Fun coffee shop with plenty of baked goods to choose from. I had a medium coffee and a quiche before continuing my drive to Wyoming.

A cozy little coffee shop perfect for a stop before going to or coming from the Prairie Edge Trading Company store and gallery. Friendly service and a great latte! And outdoor seating.

Good little downtown coffee location. Nice sitting area outside as well as inside. Skimp a little on stirrers and sugar. Not sure what's going on there.

Every summer I look forward to returning to Rapid City for my work and also to making a few visits to Alternative Fuel. The staff is always upbeat and friendly, their salads are large and excellent, and their frozen drinks are superb. Plus, they share a building with the unbeatable The Silver Lining Creamery and Roamin' Around outdoor outfitter. How could you go wrong?

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.

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.The people were nice. Tea just isn't their wheelhouse.

We had coffee here, but it was mostly milk. I actually hate that- second only to being too bitter. So, in summary, at least it wasn't too bitter. But not great overall.
