Crema's Take

The Sour is a buzzing neighborhood gem that's equally brilliant for a quick pastry grab or a lingering sit-down breakfast, with genuinely excellent sourdough-forward baking that keeps customers coming back for cinnamon rolls, almond croissants, and crusty loaves. The space itself has that warm, lived-in cafe feel that works whether you're a local meeting a friend or a road-tripper stumbling in on a whim, and the kitchen clearly takes pride in both their pastries and more substantial offerings like their turkey and pesto sandwich and ham and Gruyère croissants.

Was walking by after getting coffee and a pastry at another shop as we were road tripping through town. So glad we popped in. We ended up with a sourdough donut, a ham and Gruyère pastry and a blueberry lemon hand pie. The hand pie was one of the best things we had on our cross country road tripping we regret not getting more deliciousness from here. Don’t hesitate stopping here. You won’t be disappointed.

The breakfast we had Friday morning was delicious, however the service was pretty disappointing. When I got my food, there were no forks left. Instead of bothering the busy counter staff, I decided to ask the young lady who brought my wife's toasted breakfast instead. Her response "someone else will have to refill the forks, I'm busy with coffee." Then she walked off, no have a nice day, do you need anything else, nothing. I love the food, but if this is what I can expect for customer service, I won't be returning.

This spot is buzzing with customers, and is a really nice cafe space. I'm visiting out of town, and my sister recommended this spot. My partner and I got a loaf of sourdough bread and shared a breakfast bun. It was topped with ham and cheese and had a large egg baked inside. It was filling and delicious, and I'd definitely come back to try their other items :)

This was my first visit and we got two pastries and the turkey and pesto sandwich. The pastries were very good, I will definitely get those again. The sandwich though, was premade and had been sitting in a fridge for hours. At that price and for all the great things I have heard about this bakery and I was really expecting a great lunch sandwich. I will skip the lunch next time and just go with the pastries. I also want to suggest better chairs. They are not large size friendly, unfortunately.

We finally made it to The Sour & we're so glad we did! We had a cinnamon roll, a cardamom roll & an almond croissant. Each one was delicious. We also purchased 3 loaves of bread: sourdough, oat porridge & whole grain. My family enjoyed all of them. The taste & quality of everything we tried was very good. We will definitely be back & I think their bread will be a staple in our home! The bakery has a modern vibe & has plenty of seating for you to enjoy your treat right there. They also have some lunch items and coffee drinks. We will have to go back to try their lunch. This is a great addition to Rapid City. Check them out, you won't be disappointed!
