Fuel Up at Alternative Fuel Coffee House

There's no place with more hustle and bustle in Rapid City than Main Street Square. From the shops and restaurants to public events year-round, this is the beating heart of the city.

Nestled among its shops is one local treasure you won't want to miss: the Alternative Fuel Coffee House. This coffee shop offers the people of Rapid City with locally roasted coffee and other treats and drinks. If you need a little boost in the morning-or any time of day-you'll want to swing by for a beverage!

A New Hometown Coffee Shop

Alternative Fuel has been providing Rapid City with delicious coffee since 2006. In 2018, the coffee shop went under new management when the Griffin family purchased the store. While it's the perfect place to grab your cup of morning joe, you'll find so much more than freshly roasted coffee when you stop in.

Full espresso bar? Check. Fruit smoothie bar? For sure. Urban café? You'd better believe it! Feel free to start your day with an infusion of juicy energy. Try the Sunburst, a refreshing and ice-cold concoction of pineapple, strawberries, orange and pineapple sherbet, and cranberry juice.  

Or, sip your morning latte, cappuccino, caramel macchiato, or iced tea just the way you like it. Savor the flavor of your choice of syrups: Add a shot of vanilla, hazelnut, or lavender!

Grab Breakfast, Dessert, & More

Whether you're on the go or you have some time to stay awhile, Alternative Fuel can hook you up with delicious meals and treats for any time of day. Begin your day with a breakfast menu of bagels, biscuits and gravy, or even an egg and cheese sandwich with your choice of meat.

Swing by during your lunch break for a turkey, ham, or veggie sandwich. Savor every bite from the patio on Main Street Square and take in the city life around you. Before you leave, pick up some fresh-baked cookies, scones, or berry pie from the bakery!

True to its name, Alternative Fuel offers health-conscious and gluten-free options. You can enjoy a salad of strawberries, spinach, and grilled chicken and take on your day with a refreshing boost of energy.
