Fernson Downtown & Totally Rad Eats
332 S Phillips Ave, Sioux Falls, SD
Crema's Take
“Fernson Downtown is a refreshingly unpretentious spot where quality drinks and creative food collide in a genuinely welcoming atmosphere that feels equally suited for a leisurely coffee break or a casual meal with friends. Their drip coffee and specialty beverages pair beautifully with surprisingly ambitious food—from elevated burgers to creative breakfast burritos—all served in a space that captures that perfect balance between intentional craft and easy-going charm. It's the kind of place where you stumble in for a quick drink and end up lingering, impressed by both the care in what's being served and the genuine warmth of the space itself.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.
