Over the last week, we have tried multiple different coffee shops in Rapid City. Alternative Fuel is by far our favorite! We found ourselves back there time and time again.
The coffee was so good it didn't need any sweetener or cream.
The atmosphere was very laid back. We loved the music and the messages.
The fact that they had delicious GF options for my children who need them was AMAZING! (Gluten Free) The food that they got was very tasty, even by my non-GF standards.
This coffee shop was less convenient than others in the area (no drive through) but was 100% worth parking and going in!
We loved the outside tables right on the square. It was very enjoyable being able to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful early-summer mornings, and some days, there were even activities going on there.
Daughter wanted bagels, other place yesterday, this one today, and she said Black Hills Bagels is hands down the winner. For me too! Delicious white mocha with almond milk, and gluten free bagels! ❤️ Such a cute shop with a chill vibe, and cool selection of awesome stickers. Will be a mandatory stop every time we're in Rapid City from now on!
Tasty breakfast options for the gluten free crowd and able to please a picky vegetarian. Add to that good coffee, bakery items, specialty drinks, good service, and plenty of nearby parking. A winner on all fronts for those passing through or making this cafe a regular hangout.
Dunn Bros in Rapid City is really amazing. The nirvana is simply the best coffee out there. I also got the Tuscan turkey sandwich on gluten free bread. It's rare to find a gluten free option that tastes good, but Dunn Bros has figured it out.
My family and i were visiting from out of town, and stopped in to grab a bite to eat, and some drinks for the road.
The service was exceptionally fast (serving over 20 people!)and the hostess was welcoming & very accommodating to our needs(including gluten free options!💖).
The food was good and the establishment as a whole was kept very clean.
Try the cherry blossom!! Delicious, sweet, and light!
Always timely service even when it's super busy! Tons of gluten-free options! Also they aren't rude about super customized drinks, which is why this store is my go-to.
Overall, it was a great stop for breakfast on our way to the Black Hills. Paige was an excellent server who was very understanding and accommodating of my wife's need for gluten-free foods. My biscuits and gravy were delicious, and my wife loved her steak tips and eggs and gluten-free toast. They also have a good kid's menu. A classic "diner/comfort food" stop.

We had lot of fun with the kitties. Go a bit early to fill out your waiver. The workers were so nice and friendly! Oh and there is gluten free options! We’ll be back 🥰
