Best breakfast in Pierre. Friendly staff. Definitely recommend. (Been coming to Pierre for more than 30 years during pheasant season. Branding Iron is the best breakfast maybe except when Tom Olson cooked it himself back in the day at the Outpost Lodge.) read more

Cute little restraint and a short walk from my stay. Glad I decided to grab breakfast here instead of Mcd's!! I got the breakfast croissant and an iced vanilla latte for $12. Tasted great and was nice to have a sit done breakfast some where new! Staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for a good breakfast/lunch spot on your layover. read more

Branding Iron Bistro - Sausage, egg and cheddar breakfast croissant with an iced vanilla latte. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pierre, South Dakota

The coffee and chocolates are where Branding Iron really shines, the food is yummy but be aware that the portions are very much lunch-sized (which is not always a bad thing!) read more

Driving through Pierre, we found this bistro. Delicious food, great local ambiance and reasonable prices. My husband had a Chef Salad - it was fresh and good portion. I had a Cuban panini and it was very tasty! read more

Service was great and the food just as good for breakfast. Visiting Pierre and probably the best place in town for breakfast. A great cafe. read more

We stopped in a year ago for the Rancher breakfast ... and the potatoes were mushy, and the "over medium" eggs were totally burned to a hard lace on a way too-hot griddle. The sourdough toast was OK, but that's a small part of the breakfast. My wife, however, thought the coffee was OK, so we stopped in again on our recent trip through the area. I ordered the same breakfast this trip ... and got the same result, only worse. This time ... the "over easy" eggs were totally destroyed, the egg whites totally burnt to a hard crisp lace. The yolks were hard and dry. As busy as they were ... a packed house, tables filled with their "regulars" ... who clearly get better service and a lot of attention from the staff compared to us drop-in folk who get our food "delivered" ... I wasn't going to send the food back with a request to cook it properly. To some extent, the staff here goes out of their way to make "outsiders" feel unwelcome compared to their "regulars" who camp out at the tables for an endless procession of their members. When the place is packed and busy, watching the staffers "fawn over" the regulars while other folk are waiting for a table and service ... doesn't reflect well upon this business. Apparently, the line cook(s) at this place don't have a clue about proper temperatures to cook food. No doubt, speed is more important to them than doing it right. You'd think that they'd be embarrassed to serve such a travesty of the cooking arts ... but you'd be wrong. Two tries at this place with the same results ... I won't be back. I got the message loud and clear ... this place doesn't value their patrons except for their regulars. Even The Village Inn is looking attractive now for my next trip to Pierre. read more

This is an awesome breakfast diner. I had the wheelbarrow, great flavor and way more food than I could eat. Staff was incredibly friendly. The atmosphere is that of a small town diner, picture table full of old men telling lies and sea stories. Very comfortable and good food. read more

Mostly like Black Walnut as far as service. You order at a counter and they bring it to the table. Cool decor, I had the blackened Chicken salad which was large and satisfying. Plenty of Chicken with a food assortment of greens read more

Cool little breakfast stop. You order at the register and the meal is delivered at your table. Breakfast is nothing special, but it can be great or bad. It's the former here and reasonably priced. Worth a stop read more

Had the baked oatmeal...delicious and unique. Friendly service. Don't be discouraged by the strip mall exterior: the interior is comfortable and inviting with a mixture of high tops, booths and tables. read more

Great food! here in pierre for work, best place to eat pierre if I do say so myself. The front girl whos has a red/pink obey sweater that gets your order has had an attitude multiple times. The first time I gave her the benefit of the doubt maybe she wasn't having a great morning. This last time I went I said hello once and goodmorning twice and she said nothing. This establisment really is a gem in pierre I just wish they were a bit more friendlier. read more

Food is sub par it's either cold or just not what you ordered and the staff is less than friendly that's for sure. Will not be back

An excellent choice for a quick and delicious meal. The sour kraut, cheese, and bacon sandwich was fantastic! The quiche was tasty as well. The only down side is the location is slightly hidden off the road. The ambiance is adorable. I also love that they used the silicon animal tags for order numbers. So clever. read more

Delicious breakfast. Reminded of a cafe/ coffee shop. The omelet was very good and my friend had the grilled burrito. Looked amazing

If I lived in Pierre, this is where I would go for breakfast, coffee or meet up with friends like the rest of the locals. I had the breakfast baked oatmeal, like a big fluffy soft fat oatmeal cookie without all the sugar. Served with a side of brown sugar, milk and silvered almond. A side of fruit would have been nice. I love coffee and the coffee was good no disappointment here. My husband had two eggs over easy, sausage, hash browns and toast. His complaint, the eggs were over done and browned along the edges. This is a fun little Bristol with an olive oil and vinegar bar, chocolates and baked goods. Skip Perkins, better food and atmosphere here. read more

The best place in Pierre to eat. The best breakfast we've had on a Sunday morning. Almost made to order. Almost homemade, almost greasy spoon. Will always return here. read more

The service was great! The young lady taking our order was very nice. The atmosphere in the restaurant is inviting and warm. The food is definitely fresh as it took at little bit to get to us but was worth the wait! Thanks for the amazing experience and we will be back! read more

Ohmyheck! What an incredible surprise! Remarkable breakfast, affordable prices, with the most relaxing ambiance! We will make this a breakfast ritual! read more

Great food and service. Small, intimate cafe that's good to study or work in. Worth a visit.

I've been here a handful of times, and honestly the service you receive really depends on when you go. The food is decent enough, if they get your order right. The highlight of this place is all the baked goods, confections, oils, spices and coffee you can get. In Addition they make a mean chai. On the downside, I'm not sure I love the atmosphere. Listening to guys make jokes about marginalized communities, and using derogatory terms was quite the turn off. read more

This place is amazing! I wish that I would have taken pictures of our food, but we were starving, lol wonderful food, better service, and great atmosphere. When the owner comes out to check on how everyone is doing, you know you have a gem. Everything in our party, that everyone got to eat was fantastic. If you are in Pierre South Dakota, and get a chance, definitely go check them out! read more

We were in Pierre for a family reunion looking for a cute coffee shop to have morning coffee, and this place was perfect! It's super clean and has a western industrial vibe. It's busy, but the service is quick and the line moves fast. All of us loved the coffee and bakery items, but noticed all the full breakfast items going by to other customers looked fresh and delicious, too! So refreshing to come to a coffee shop and have such friendly staff! I will always stop at this coffee shop when I come to Pierre! read more

This place is an absolute gem to say the least! The ladies who take your order are so so patient and kind. The ladies who cook your food are so friendly and they're GREAT COOKS!! I'd eat here every day if I could. And while you wait, you can check out their gifts! read more

Locals hangout for breakfast and lunch. Order at the counter, pay, and waitress brings food. Food is fair at best.

Two co-workers recommended the Branding Iron while they were on businesses travel last week. I am now in Pierre and took their advice. I am a huge biscuit and gravy fan but it's hard to find any better than my homemade ones. These came pretty damn close to mine. I had the single order with 2 scrambled eggs. Plenty of tasty hot food. Excellent! read more

Branding Iron Bistro - Biscuit and gravy with scrambled eggs. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pierre, South Dakota

Best honey lavender latte! Food is delish and affordable. Great location and Pierre and relatively quick getting orders out

I like the rustic, western feel of the place. I've had good and poor experiences with the food and the drinks. The lattes have tasted burnt, but the coffee has been fine. The bagel sandwiches are really good. I've had a few things there and give the home style cooking appeal. The cinnamon rolls are decent. It's a nice place to sit and chat. There is one waitress there who is middle aged and she's blunt and rude. Everyone else that works there is very friendly and polite. Service is fairly quick. You won't be disappointed. read more

I ordered the Cuban panini and the chicken was very dry the sandwich was slapped together. The only thing I think the did right with this sandwich was the grilled panini bread. My son ordered a grilled cheese and this they got right. They have miss Vicky's chips which are always a good chip. We ordered a strawberry cream soda and a strawberry banana smoothie both were good. If you are going for drinks this might be a good place to do that but if you are looking for good food I'd advise go somewhere else. read more

Super cute little place! Great, friendly service and good breakfast. My daughter and I were in Pierre for a short time looking for a good breakfast joint. Saw this place on Yelp and decided to check it out as it was only a few minutes from our hotel. So glad we did! I had the French toast and bacon and she had biscuits and gravy. It doesn't appear there are many good local places like this in Pierre, at least that we could find, so we definitely recommend!! read more

Great spot, order food at counter and workers bring your food to your table. Simple, smart and good. Clean and popular spot for locals. Definitely my go to breakfast spot in Pierre from here on! read more

This spot for lunch isn't just another Panera, it's unique, tasty, and comes with very friendly service. I ordered an americano - pretty standard, but not done poorly. In addition I asked what was good and the Cuban was recommended on a garlic wrap- that was an excellent choice. The wrap is pressed crispy on the outside and still has a good chew on the inside. Good flavors too. For dessert (because I'm an adult and I wanted dessert at lunch) - I had the cinnamon roll. It was super fluffy, and classic flavors. I want to come back for breakfast here too! read more

I like their cocoa and coffee. Go here. It is good Go here I rest my peace I'm writing now because it says my review it too short. You don't have to read this lol. read more

Good, clean environment. Excellent customer service. Fairly priced, quality presentation. I had soup & a lovely fruity salad. No complaints.

Wow- from Philly/South Jersey and out here for work- what a great find. Best Iced Almond/coconut Latte I have ever had- grabbed the special which was just roast beef and cheddar in a round grilled roll w taco soup on the side- simple but flawless- the sauce for the sandwich was so good I wanted to eat what was left in its own- grabbing what looks like some amazing chocolate and getting back on the road....with a second latte if you're ever in Pierre you must stop--this feels like a mirage on a drive of nothing but miles and miles of land read more

Branding Iron Bistro - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pierre, South Dakota

I wasn't a fan of the ice latte at all. It tasted like it was just a concentrated espresso mix, not fresh made. I went there for breakfast and they didn't have any breakfast items with meat that wasn't pork. Ham, sausage, or bacon. We don't eat pork so that was disappointing.. but they did put some deli turkey on my breakfast bagel, not gonna lie. It was bomb. My boyfriend asked for food without pork before I did and was told they had nothing so he just got two pieces French toast and some fruit, which was also really good. But kind of strange that he wasn't offered the same breakfast bagel as I was.. food was good though. read more

Great staff, atmosphere, & food! Gets busy but moves relatively quick!!! Friend staff as well!

Breakfast done right. It's a simple concept yet very rarely executed in today's day and age but this place was a pleasant exception. I will certainly be back the next time I'm in Pierre. read more

Yup it's as good as advertised on Yelp. The coffee is fantastic and the food is Great!!

This is the first review I have ever left because it is THAT good! Outstanding, fast service with a wonderful upscale ranch atmosphere. I have worked at coffee shops in the past so I am extra picky. 1,000% recommend! read more

Stopped here while in town for work. The food was good. When the order was brought out, my coworker had the wrong order (it was on bread vs a wrap). She didn't say anything but a couple minutes later, they brought out the correct order. They had realized it on their own and sent her home with the spare. I was impressed by the service. read more
