Hermosa Coffee House
13 2nd St, Rapid City, SD
Crema's Take
“This charming Rapid City spot earns its stellar 4.9-star rating by nailing both the coffee craft and the cozy gathering-place vibe, with baristas who excel at creative signatures like their picture-perfect dalgona coffee. The atmosphere strikes that sweet spot between serious espresso focus and approachable warmth—think games for kids, reliable wifi, and quality pastries that make it equally welcoming whether you're a coffee snob from Chicago or a first-time visitor catching up with friends. While consistency in service seems to vary, the best days here deliver exactly what specialty coffee lovers crave: excellent technique, genuine hospitality, and a space that actually feels like home.”

Friendly, cute little coffee shop with lovely coffee and baked goods! My cappuccino and spiced muffin were excellent!
Very rude service. Server actually scoffed at me. Then the two people working openly and loudly discussed business issues among themselves. The complaining was so loud we left. On top of that, coffee was overly sweet. About double the vanilla syrup than should have been used. The baked goods looked exceptional.
This was such a sweet surprise of a spot while visiting friends in town. Lovely people, lovely food, GREAT coffee. I haven’t had a dalgona coffee in ages, and it was made PERFECTLY. We brought our infant son with us and they had a high chair he was very comfortable in. There’s just a really welcoming vibe about the place, and I would 100% return here when visiting again.
Stopped here as I love trying local coffee houses. My typical coffee order is just an iced coffee with a splash of milk and maybe a syrup. I’ve never had as much problem ordering it as I did here. Not sure if it was just too loud, too busy or what. Unfortunately, they discontinued the cold brew. Their menu is confusing because it says “Iced Coffee, Latte” - this is just a latte not Iced Coffee. Would recommended moving the band as they stand right in front of the door. And to describe your coffee roasts rather than the names of them, I.e. “Rattlesnake is a x roast”.
We are Chicago area coffee SNOBS and we absolutely loved this cafe. The people are friendly and the coffee house is a nice place to sit with games for kids and wifi for customers. They have oat milk for lattes which I very much appreciated. They also have a very wide selection of flavors and food that suits either breakfast or lunch.
