We randomly came across Miner's Cup while driving along Mt. Rushmore Road, and it ended up being one of those places we're really glad we stopped at. It's a tiny setup with only a few parking spots and a drive-through, but they make great use of the space. The menu is surprisingly extensive for such a small spot -- specialty coffee drinks, Lotus energy drinks, breakfast sandwiches, wraps, and plenty of quick meal options. We tried the cappuccino, caramel macchiato, and the Gold Digger sandwich with chicken, avocado, roasted tomatoes, and provolone on ciabatta. Everything tasted fresh and satisfying. What I liked most is that they don't try too hard to be trendy or overcomplicated -- it's simply well-made coffee and solid grab-and-go food. Service was great. Perfect stop if you're passing through and want something quick that still feels quality. Would absolutely come back again. read more

We frequented this place so much that we made 3 stops during our vacation! What a gem of a place to have in the city of Custer! Many times they were busy and they handled the rush so well... we were quite impressed! I enjoy stopping at various coffee shops to try them out and this one has been memorable for me. The flavoring is always on par + so smooth. Their customer service is great and timely. The look of their shop and option of drive-thru a plus! I feel like you can't go wrong with this place + they really are a standout coffee shop. I even purchased a tumbler from them to remember our times out in Custer with. Drinks ordered were an Irish cream latte, huckleberry latte, + English toffee latte. I'd recommend them all! There wasn't one that was a miss... all were great with flavor + not syrupy tasting/ smooth. Although I do have to recommend sipping on a huckleberry latte while hiking around lake sylvan! (; I also ordered an outlaw breakfast sandwich was to die for! So flavorful + tasty! Thanks so much, Miner's Cup! read more

Don't be deceived by the pics online, the burritos and sandwiches are rather large and filled with deliciousness! The coffee is exceptional as well, I had the sweater weather and the German chocolate flavors were phenomenal! Service isn't the fastest, but it's delivered with a smile and all the small tone charm:) we love waiting for our food and beverages on the meat benches they have at their walk up window. The boba drinks and teas are also great! It was as good as I remembered it being from 3 years ago when I was here last! read more

I love visiting local shops where the people and customers are friendly. Literally made friends with other customers (local and tourists) while we waited this very busy morning. I had a seasonal honey badger latte. It was a little sweet but even my non-coffee fans liked it! It's also one of the best espresso based drinks I've found in the black hills. Worth a stop for you AM caffeine boost for sure. read more

Picked this up for breakfast two days in a row on our way into the park. While you can order online, we decided to park and walk up to the ordering window. They took our orders and gave us a buzzer, then after about 15 minutes enjoying the umbrella-shaded patio on the side, we walked back to pick up our coffee and breakfast sandwiches/burritos. The Prospector was on the smaller side, but I was still only able to finish about half of it. It was nicely packed with a good amount of meat and cheese, and a surprisingly large amount of fresh avocado. The server recognized us on our second day back and was witty and friendly with both of us. There is a bit of a wait every day (we were there weekdays), but the patio attached to the side makes the wait bearable. read more

This place was recommended to me because it has the best coffee in town. That claim is true! I got delicious hot coffee and a breakfast sandwich put on a tortilla to make it a breakfast burrito. They easily accommodated that change, and I was thankful. They have a walk-up window if you park and eat at the outside patio, or you can stay in your car and drive up. The food and drink was tasty, hot, fresh, and appreciated. When in Custer, give this wee place a shot! read more

This coffee shop was practically out the front door of our hotel (Chalet Motel). We have been to Custer several times and we did not know it was there. It is a drive thru or call to go place. They do have a walk up window which I used twice. There were many choices of coffee and several breakfast sandwich options. Everything I tried was very good. The staff was super friendly and helpful. They were always busy but there was no long waiting or confusion. Impressive. Would definitely go again. read more

Really great coffee and breakfast sandwiches! Glad we stopped. Drive through moves fast but you can also walk up!

I ordered a birthday treat for my daughter, and the team at Miner's Cup went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. They paid attention to the details and even added a fun "Happy Birthday" sticker to her drink, which made her feel so special. It truly made her day! Exceptional customer service and such a thoughtful touch -- we'll definitely be back! read more

Ok you may disagree but this place is hidden gem carry out only. Sandwiches are very good. I like the outlaw with bacon but you can't go wrong. Get your favorite coffee drink and a sandwich and head to Custer State Park and see the fluffy cows! read more

Had a croissant breakfast sandwich and was probably the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. Absolutely amazing

This place is unbelievable!!!!!!!! We went for breakfast sandwiches, and I am very thankful for Yelp for guiding us to a terrific spot once again!!!! My husband selected the Wild West and I went for the Old timer. It's a drive through which is genius because most people visiting this area are heading towards a national park and are eager to get going. Since we were doing just that we wanted a quick bite. The young lady who took our order was extremely pleasant, and she instructed us to pull forward until the sandwiches were ready. It was 6 degrees out and she brought the food out with a smile!!!!!! We were so happy with the quality and outstanding taste these sandwiches had!!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh, what a fabulous start to the day! Thank you Miners Cup!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Miner's Cup came highly recommended, so my family and I checked it out on the way out of town - we're really glad we did! It felt like a cozy little spot, and despite what seemed like a long line, our service was quick. My pineapple Lotus Energy smoothie with passion fruit popping boba was delicious! They had a lot of good flavor combinations available that day, but I had to stick with one, and the combination I picked payed off. Simple, but refreshing. My brother enjoyed the Sweater Weather special, and my grandmother was happy with her strawberry banana smoothie. Would love to stop by to try more of their offerings if I ever find myself in that part of the country again. read more

Favorite coffee stop!!! We went every day our last trip, only got by once this trip but just as good as we remembered.

Amazing breakfast sandwiches and coffee was pretty good too. Loved going here 3 days in a row. Skip your bad continental breakfast and get a sandwich here for $5. Not too long of a wait - you can wait in your car with their buzzer system. We ordered online once and it worked well. read more

Great breakfast sandwiches and the coffee is better than Starbucks. We came here every morning while we stayed in Custer!

Delicious toasted sandwich, easy walk up to order (no indoor seating), good deli pickles, nice picnic tables right there, quick service for how busy they were, friendly staff taking orders...overall a nice affordable little lunch stop! read more

We did the walk up window and sat outside to eat which was fun. The coffee was delicious! We tried 4 different breakfast sandwiches (two biscuits and two bagels) with a variety of meats, and all were very good! Service was faster than expected, and food was made fresh. Highly recommend, and would come back again. read more

This fantastic lil drive thru makes the best burritos! I swung by mid-morning and had to wait a while since I was fourth in line, but I'll tell ya it was worth it! My meal consisted 16 oz Dirty Chai Latte ($5.50), a Wild West breakfast burrito (sausage, egg, hash brown, caramelized onions, bell peppers, shredded jack cheese on a flour tortilla, $6.00) and a piece of Coffee Cake ($3.50). The burrito was phenomenal! It was huge and generously stuffed with the goods. They used a hash brown patty instead of loose shreds and I absolutely loved it. I didn't even need any hot sauce like I nearly always want on my breakfast burritos. It was SO DAMN GOOD. I'm astonished it was only $6.00. The Dirty Chai was perfectly made! Just the right amount of sweetness and richness. The Coffee Cake was alright. I thought it kind of tasted greasy, however it was super moist which was great. I wish I had the opportunity to stop by here a second time. The menu is enormous and everything sounded so delish! Will drop by again if I'm ever in the area. read more

The best food in Custer, SD! I eat here multiple times every time I am in Custer. Their sandwiches are unique and fresh. Love the flavor combos and care in each sandwich. The wraps are my favorite but the baked goods and coffees are just as amazing! We love that we can order online and just drive up to pickup our order. I HIGHLY recommend this place for breakfast or lunch then go for a drive in the park. read more

Preface-- be patient or order ahead. It is a small coffee shop with a nice menu with a drive through. So keep that in mind especially if you're in a rush, might need to go elsewhere depending when you get there and the line ahead. Otherwise, they are fairly speedy at getting your order through. With that said, we really enjoyed this coffee/breakfast grab and go location. The barista (we had the same one both days) was a really nice young man. Provided great service at the window. Got our orders fast. The menu is simple and we like that. Nothing complex to ensure it's done well. The old timer biscuit sandwich is my favorite and my husband enjoyed their lone star wrap. Made well, not very salty or greasy! The coffee is fair. I liked it but if you enjoy bold dark flavor coffee, their blend might be on the light-medium side. It doesn't have the acidic after note either. Priced decently, packaged well to trace in the car, and again a great little addition. read more

Super efficient with excellent prices. Loved visiting here on our way out of town. Wish I would have discovered earlier. Good was great as well. read more

This place gets really busy. I just stopped by for a couple of cups of coffee. The coffee was OK, but I would've preferred stronger coffee. They do have options for non-dairy creamer. The line for the drive-through in your car is fairly short, but you can park on the side and go to a walk up window. The guy in front of me ordered online and they told him 15 minutes, but when he got there they told him it would be 15 more minutes. The breakfast menu looks good, I may try that later this week. UPDATE: I ordered online a few days later and went to pickup at the 15 minute time the app told me. My arrival time was about an hour earlier than my prior visit. Everything was ready and perfect, including all of the drink and food modifications. The app told me that MC was out of the wrap that cane with my sandwich, but I was ok with a flour tortilla substitution. Tasty food at a good price. MC recommended an Americano for stronger coffee, and it does taste much better that the regular drip. It would be nice to see a variety of strong drips (e.g. dark roast, blonde...), but I was happy with the Americano. Thanks so much for the perfect COVID-19 breakfast! read more

The drinks were well made and the food was fresh. The croissant sandwich was really good and the monkey bread muffin was nice and soft. It could have probably used more cinnamon, but other than that, really good. We ordered at the walk up window and it's nice that they give you a pager to wait for your food. We will likely be back to try more things. read more

Miner's cup is a must stop if near Custer! Been there about 5 times so far and every biscuit and every Latte was perfect. It took me four visits to figure out who the owner was.....because every person acted like the owner. That only happens in the best of best run establishments. Great job to the owner operator Miranda! See you next year read more

Let me tell you about Miner's Cup! This place is what small-town America is run off of. Not only do they have charm and character with their building. But the people that work here are genuinely nice people. Their breakfast is delicious. You can tell they go the extra mile with little things like your coffee cake or donuts being served warm! This place should be a Custer staple. The only thing wrong with it is I can't relocate their business and put it in my town . I really think this place will be here for years to come. Bravo Miner's Cup! I'd give you more than 5 stars if I could. read more

Other than that I highly recommend. read more

Ran into this cute little drive thru coffee shop on our trip to Mount Rushmore by accident. I was so glad we did because the food here is fresh to order and the flavors are amazing! My family was so impressed with the good service and quality of food that we wished we would have had time to stop before leaving Hill City. My kids loved their cinnamon roll, banana nut muffin, room temperature hot chocolate. My husband and I raved about their Gold digger sandwich. Delicious! Definitely have to try the gold digger it was freshly made and full of flavor. Exactly what we needed to start our day at Mount Rushmore. read more

Absolutely a must. The coffee is great coffee and my wife got the dirty chai. I was also talked into the Apple Muffin and oh my gosh. They were just a little warm and so soft and tasted amazing. Went back a second time and got a waffle breakfast sandwich that hit the spot. Not only is the food and rink great but everyone that works there is so friendly. So glad I found this place. read more

Sorry we found this place on our last day in Custer. Good, fresh and reasonably priced breakfast sandwiches. Coffees were a little on the weak side however being from Oregon where you can see 5 coffee shops on any large street corner, were a little particular. Timing our departure in the morning to coincide with their opening solely to get food and coffee for the road. This is drive through or window service. Only thing which could have made it better was a few benches to sit and eat at. read more

Perfect coffee spot in Custer and they sell Lotus energy drinks!!!! Great customer service too!!

Great breakfast burritos! Was not named "Miner's Cup" on our Apple Maps so we went there by accident.

Got the six shooter, very tasty but got a spinach wrap instead of the tomato basil wrap. It would have been better if made as advertised. Ordered the 20 oz. Latte. Very weak & extremely hot. Be careful. Since it's a drive through, I didn't go back to ask them to redo both. So check your food immediately. Otherwise recommended. read more

What a delightful breakfast spot in Custer! My toddler LOVED her fresh mini donuts and her hot chocolate was *just* the right temperature for little kiddos! The rest of our food (several breakfast wraps and cinnamon rolls) was just as delicious. Service was warm and friendly and the walk up window was very easy to locate and access. We'll be in town for a few more days and I am already planning to find any excuse to visit here again! read more
