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.There menu is extensive and full of Gluten-Free and Vegan options. I ended up getting "Fuel Bites" and "Harvest Blast" Fit Fuel smoothie. Both were delicious. The fuel bites were peanut-buttery granola and the shake was filling without being too fruity.I was only in Rapid City for a few hours but I am glad I stopped here. It totally changed my perspective of the town and the nutritional options available to you. I would highly recommend if you are local or just passing through. Though I did not try their coffee, the menu seemed to be extensive.
A hidden gem in downtown Rapid City!Very friendly staff, great coffee and eats. Such an inviting little coffee shop for weary travelers taking in the beauty of the area. Definitely stop in if you find yourself in the Black Hills!
Such a fun, warm and welcoming atmosphere. The drinks and food are delicious. Staff and the owner are the absolute sweetest. Wishing I lived in SD now but at least I will have a favorite spot when I visit.
Warm milk with a hint of coffee when you order cappucino..make sure to ask for extra shots of Espresso if you like strong coffee.
My husband and I stopped in for coffee and tea one morning while visiting the area. The Spiced Chai Tea was so good that we came back the next morning for another round. I am very particular about my Chai Tea but would highly recommend this Coffee House. My husband thought the coffee was great too. We try to support local and not go to chains if possible and if we lived close by this would definitely be a place we would come to often.
After nearly 3 years of coming to this coffee shop it's time to move on. The staff is good B+, the atmosphere is an A, the coffee is B, location is A+. But when oh when will you stop with the masks. Ignorance is offensive.
Made a quick stop to grab some coffee and am glad I did. Coffee was great and staff was very friendly.
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.
Barista forgot my pastry after making my latte and then disappeared. Had to wait for another employee to come out and then ask for my missing item. Also coffee shop doesn’t offer oat milk.
Delicious coffee! Amazing pastries! Delightful atmosphere! Kind and helpful staff! The perfect music in the background. We shouldknow!! After unexpectedly spending 6 days in Rapid City in the dead of winter, Alternative Fuel became our silver lining!! We not only came back every day (played cards at our table while enjoying watching ice skating, made several new friends, enjoyed a sweet visit with the owner), but once we finally headed where we were supposed to go, we planned our trip home around passing through Rapid and getting one last cup for the road!Our favorite by far was the dirty chai nog!! But we tried a few others as well and they were great too! Don’t pass up on the pastries or the quiche. Can’t wait to drive through again and treat ourselves.
