    I spent a couple hours here working and the staff was very friendly. I had an iced americano and breakfast bagel. It was yummy and the coffee was made perfectly.

    The best cinnamon roll I've ever had!

    The most friendly staff with the best homemade roll! Budget friendly and great coffee all with a small town experience in this classic gas station building.

    This is a cute little local spot, which I believe is female owned, if I heard her correctly. I inquired about vegan food options but they didn't really have anything. She was very nice though and seemed genuinely interested in offering something vegan suitable in the future. They ended up making a vegan mixed berry smoothie for me using almond milk. It was delicious! If I find myself back in SD, I'd stop by Lotus Up for another one of those refreshing smoothies.

    Ordered a dirty chai and a bacon panini. So good and savory.

    This place is amazing!! Great customer service, fast and fresh. I loved the atmosphere and and I'll definitely be coming back for more.

    This place was a wonderful stop in Lead. I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking to get a bite to eat while visiting. They have some great coffee and other drinks available as well. I had a half monte cristo panini and a cup of their beef barley soup. I must say, it was delicious! The inside of Lotus Up was impressive! They have a great upstairs area with a wonderful view of the mining area in Lead (pronounced as Leed, by the way). The first floor is great as well. All areas are clean and look wonderfully maintained. They have two parking spaces in the upper lot as well as a drive thru option while the lower lot is home to all of the main spots. Stop on here for a great coffee, sandwich, bagel, muffin, or even just to relax for a bit. They do have Wi-Fi available and the staff is very friendly! I found out how they pronounce the city name simply by asking them here at Lotus Up.

    Food

    Stopped in during our cross the country road trip. One of the BEST breakfast burritos I've ever had! Great views too! Staff was very friendly also!!! If we are ever back in this area we will be going back!!

    Cozy upper level. Nice view, too!

    Loved this cute coffee shop just as much for the owner and staff as the coffee itself! We got basic coffee drinks, an Americano and a latte, and they were good. We also got the amigo bagel (which was flavored with jalapeño and Parmesan, I think) and spinach cream cheese -- a tasty combo! They have a huge variety of both bagels and cream cheeses. Prices are all reasonable. Equally wonderful was the owner. She was so friendly, and spends her off hours working with kids in the community. She and her husband built the building where Lotus Up is located, and had help from family and the community to make it the warm welcoming space that it is. She is also starting a nonprofit for kids to get engaged in the community and make it a better place. Why not support all this?!?!

    Upstairs area with couches and chairs

    Love this place! I'm just visiting town for a bit, but if I lived here I would easily become a regular. I didn't try the food, but the menu looked good. They have an ample drink selection at prices you expect from any coffee shop. The chai was good..sweet but not too spicy. My favorite thing about Lotus Up is the ambiance. It's got ample windows and great lighting. Tons of seating inside both downstairs and upstairs and a great view of "the pit" and playground across the street. There are comfy couches and easy chairs in addition to tables. Decor and mural are nicely done. There is also a drive through. The staff was super friendly. I definitely recommend this place to locals and tourists. Plus, they open at 6am!

    Vey clean presentation!

Looked over the menu I decided on a Cuban sandwich which was delicious. So the flavors melding together. Was only able to eat half a sandwich nice size. Served with tater tots which were crunchy.

Imagine my disappointment when the following things took place. - I ordered a ribeye and it was the toughest ribeye that I had ever had with lots of gristle in the meat. - I ordered a loaded baked potato which consisted of putting cheese in it (no butter or sour cream) but it didn't matter anyway because baked potato was cold, I don't mean not hot, it was COLD. I sent it back as they basically said sorry there is nothing that we can do. I turned to someone who had gotten the same potato, and it was also cold. Don't worry, they still tried to upcharge me for the loaded part on my bill. -We had two others order the sirloin and one was literally half the size as the other and severely over cooked -I ordered a tap beer and it came to me 90% foam and I was told to just wait until it settled. -The waiter did nothing to help out with anyone's complaints, he literally ignored what people said to him and just kept doing whatever he was doing. -It was like the whole crew was the "B" crew for the night. I do not see why I would ever go there again or why you should waste your money for subpar service and food.

    Fun place for a burger and beer…read more Food in Deadwood is not for gourmands, so save yourself the time and money and go to Mustang Sally's for a straightforward meal. They even have a full bar! This is a sports bar, and they have the cool option to have a half portion of an appetizer instead of fries for a $3 upcharge. My husband was delighted to be able to have fried mushrooms as his side. The kids and husband had milkshakes, and they were made quickly, and everyone loved them. They have a bunch of local beers. I enjoyed my Rapid City made beer and enjoyed a sip of my husband's Spearfish beer. I had a burger, which was perfect. The fries were good. I also had some of my daughter's hot wings. They were meaty and spicy. I loved them, although I wish they had come with celery sticks. Not a big deal, though.

After a long day of traveling, we called to place a takeout order about 30 minutes before closing. The employee who took our order, a woman in a green shirt, listened while my sister and I ordered, then let out a loud, frustrated sigh and said, "Ugh... is that it then?" Her tone made it very clear that our order was an inconvenience. When I arrived to pick up and pay, I stood at the counter much longer than I should have, and it became obvious I was being ignored. The woman in the green shirt who had taken our order made eye contact with me multiple times but continued to act as if I wasn't standing there. There were three employees behind the counter, yet none of them acknowledged me. The only person who finally came over to help was a kind woman who had been sweeping on the other side of the restaurant. She stopped what she was doing because no one else would. I have 13 years of waitressing experience, so I completely understand how frustrating last-minute orders before closing can be. However, that's never an excuse to treat paying customers with disrespect. We called before closing, were polite throughout the interaction, and simply expected basic customer service. If taking an order 30 minutes before closing and acknowledging a customer at the counter is too much to ask, then maybe customer service isn't the right fit. Being busy is understandable. Being rude and pretending customers don't exist isn't. Needless to say, we won't be back.

    Wonderfully tranquil place just south of downtown! Highly recommend!!…read more My wife and I were lucky enough to stay at this amazing place while we traveled to Colorado from Minnesota. The hotel is located just south of downtown on a beautiful creek. Our room overlooked this creek and the scenery was incredible. When we arrived the front desk staff was genuinely friendly and helpful. The manager came up to us right away to welcome us to their hotel and gave advice about what to check out in Deadwood. The casino is next to the main desk. We went up to the room and were surprised by a very warm and welcoming large room with a small kitchen, a fireplace and a deck overlooking the creek. As it happened there was a deer on the hillside right across from our room. Everything was as it should be for the room. We enjoyed the in room hot tub as well. Later we wanted to grab something to eat and enjoyed a great pizza at their newly opened restaurant. They have a great patio right behind the hotel where you can eat and enjoy the creek views. Parking was great as well. The shuttle picks you up right at the front door and it's a free ride to town and back. This place would be awesome for anyone visiting Deadwood... HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

They have changed ownership recently and have removed almost every machine that the majority of the local players loved. They also wiped out everyone's earned comps with no warning, and refused to honor the free play normally given to their regular customers. We have been loyal customers and advocates through the years, and have told many friends and acquaintances to go there. In the words of the new owner, they are in business to make money! We understand this, as business owners ourselves. However, in reality, you should be in business where you provide a fun atmosphere and experience where you organically make money in the process. We refuse to give a cent to an establishment that is only interested in taking our money and not providing anything in return. Deadwood is a small tight knit community where everyone shares their experiences freely. Our player's cards went into the trash can today. Good luck surviving on winter sports customers.
