I stumbled upon this café as I was just in town for the weekend with my daughter and low and hold. I saw sausage roll on the menu being Aussie. We absolutely love sausage rolls and pies. I didn’t see your pie there but a sausage roll was there that’s the first thing I got my daughter got a brownie apricot brownie and absolutely loved it. She also got a sausage roll and absolutely love the staples of food from home where I come from so I recommend this café. The service was outstanding. The food was bringing me to tears because it reminded me of Home. I recommend this café 100%

The staff here provide excellent service, the coffee (especially the Chemex) is fantastic, and the food is delicious and provides options you can’t find elsewhere in town. I highly recommend their beef pie.
This place is going to be my new morning hangout.

My friend Becky recommended and it was good. Good food, good atmosphere, good customer service and most of all good coffee. We’ll be back!

Essence of Coffee has quite a bit of indoor seating and some sidewalk seating. After ordering at the counter you seat yourself. There is a good selection of breakfast foods with both savory and sweet items. We ordered the Bagel Sandwich and the Pancake Stack Max (I think). Both were okay. The pancakes and syrup lacked flavor. The bacon on the bagel, though plentiful, also lacked a traditional smoky bacon flavor. Actually tasted a little “gamey”. A staff member brought our food to us, but none of the staff was friendly. I don’t regret our visit, but I wouldn’t go back.

The best coffee shop in Western South Dakota. Best food and service as well. I love the iced Carmel latte and mushroom spinach omelette and everything else. These folks work way too hard! You can not go wrong here … unless they are closed.

The absolute best caramel latte paired with a delicious breakfast. We ordered the berry french toast and apple sausage hash. Friendly staff and quick service.
I love how they are dog friendly too! Highly recommend giving this local coffee shop a try.

We’re in town on vacation and have come here 2 days in a row. The coffee is delicious and the food is amazing!
We ordered an iced caramel latte and an iced mocha to drink. Some of the best we’ve had. We’ve tried the ham & Swiss croissant, the pumpkin caramel rose, the lemon blueberry crumble and the beef pie. It was all so dang good!
I’d come here daily if I lived here, haha! Cute atmosphere and friendly staff. Definitely recommend!

Despite a line extending out the front door, we ordered and got our food really quickly.
The coffee is exceptional. Great bold taste. And they had some new-to-me coffee menu items like the long Mac (get it!) and Aussie iced coffee.
Prices were very reasonable – a welcome surprise.
All in all, popular spot. Worth the wait for some of the best coffee.
