605 travels the state for stories and creative projects. That means we’ve been lucky to see some of the best places in the state (and have consumed all of the food and drinks while we’re at it). Here are just some of our favorite recommendations. Feeling friendly? Tell them 605 Magazine sent you at the 605 Cabin! *Means also fits in a different category.

Coffee Shops & Breakfast

LOTUS UP ESPRESSO & DELI

This large building hosts people working remotely, group meetings, connections, and more. Grab a bagel or Breakfast Fajita in the morning, or sit down for a panini or salad at lunch. And don’t miss their coffee drinks.

Blackbird Espresso

Grab fresh items like a waffle, or snag something faster like a homemade poptart to go while getting your caffeine fix. Try anything from a black coffee to a London Fog (and make sure to look at their specials). This is owned by the Black Sheep Group, which also owns the Green Bean Coffeehouse (see below). The branding is always on point.

Green Bean Coffeehouse

Same Black Sheep Group ownership, different vibes. Get baked goods like Apple Hand Pie, or sit down in the larger restaurant that has coffee drinks, but also has menu items like Biscuits and Gravy, a Keto Bowl, and don’t forget their lunch paninis (their specialty). They also have Black Hills Bagels, soups, sandwiches, salads, and more. Did we mention they have a drive-thru window, too?

Pump House At Mind Blown Studio

Named after the retro gas station building, walk in to the right for sandwiches, and (most importantly) Black Hills Bagels and Sturgis Coffee Company brews. To the left sign up for a glass blowing class with the owner, or simply catch a class and/or her at work. Some of her pieces are available there for purchase.

Cheyenne Crossing

At the south entrance to Spearfish Canyon National Scenic Byway, stop by the legendary Cheyenne Crossing to shop around for local items, stay for the night, and eat at the Stage Stop Cafe Try a variety of diner food, pancakes that taste like they came from the campfire, and an infamous breakfast burrito. Play table games while you catch up and/or wait for your food.
