Crema's Take

This Rapid City gem opens early for dedicated coffee lovers and delivers exceptional espresso-focused drinks alongside meticulous pour overs like their standout Chemex. Beyond the coffee, Essence Of Coffee sets itself apart with an impressive menu featuring hard-to-find items like Australian sausage rolls and thoughtful pastries, all served by genuinely warm staff in a welcoming space that's equally perfect for a solo sit or catching up with friends and your furry companions. With nearly 750 five-star reviews praising everything from the reasonable prices to the full breakfast offerings, it's become the kind of neighborhood spot where regulars keep coming back because they genuinely care about both the craft and making you feel at home.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Opens early. Dog friendly. Family friendly.

We’ve been coming back to this place time and time again. Not only is the food delicious, but it’s also been consistently good every visit. The quality, flavor, and service have never disappointed us. See the photos for some of the dishes we’ve enjoyed.

Last Monday morning I met a client for coffee. We decided to have an early lunch and try the chicken wrap. We split the wrap, it came with homemade chips and it was delicious. It was a very comfortable place to meet and visit. Excellent food and drinks!

First visit here. We ordered breakfast. Chicken verde omelette was great. The Avocado toast was too good. Coffee was good. Nice place to sip coffee and satisfy your breakfast cravings.
