    It was a pilgrimage I had long intended to make, a journey to the smallest incorporated city in the…read moreUnited States. On the exterior, the town of Monowi, Nebraska, is an unremarkable wide spot in the road along Route 12 just south of the state's border with South Dakota. Only one, single resident remains. Upon my arrival, I met the famous mayor Elsie Eiler on the eve of her 90th birthday. She still makes her way down from her trailer to the restaurant every day, the same establishment she and her late husband Rudy have operated for over half a century. It's incredible she has the energy to keep the place running at her age, a spry woman short in stature who does the cooking and bartending all day every day. Being the only business open in town, excluding the free 5,000-book library around the corner, it's the obvious place to gather amidst the abandoned homes, crumbling vacant post office, and dilapidated church. If you're willing to make this worthwhile drive to remote Nebraska, the biggest surprise is that the food is actually very good! The pizzas are wonderful, defying all logic as to how such a delicious pie could be found so far from civilization. The menu offers a stunning selection of foods, all of which Elsie prepares, including two styles of hamburgers, five other sandwiches, and three different cuts of steak among several other options. They have a plethora of side dishes from tater tots and fries to gizzards and cheese balls, all at very reasonable prices!

    Quick service and friendly atmosphere! Elsie always has a smile for her customers. They have quite…read morethe menu for a small place but have a limited menu on Holidays.

    As a longtime regular customer who visits multiple times a week and purchases at least 14 coffees…read moreweekly for my coworkers, I've grown to appreciated this local family-owned coffee shop. Unfortunately, I had a disappointing experience today that fell short of the usual service. I ordered a cold brew with cold foam for my friend's birthday. When I received my drink, it had sweet cream instead of cold foam. I politely went back inside, explained the situation, and asked if we could get the correct topping. The barista became visibly upset, told me I was the problem, and insisted that cold foam was used but must be flat. She then dumped out roughly half of my drink, added more cold foam, mentioning it had been made two days earlier and she is certain it's fine. My drink is now all cream and is sitting in a puddle on the counter. I was really surprised and saddened by the interaction, especially given how much I value this shop and support it regularly. While mistakes happen and I understand that, the response made what should have been a simple correction and a celebratory moment feel very uncomfortable. I hope this feedback is received as constructive. I'd love to continue being a loyal customer and will be back, but I'm hoping for friendlier service and better attention to orders going forward.

    Excellent stop for excellent coffee. Like an oasis in a desert Coffee Cantina serves excellent…read morecoffee and a bomb cold brew. It was truly cool to get done top shelf coffee from such a quaint stop just off of I-90. They also sell cool merch and original art and other pieces by local artists. A drive thru of in middle of SD yep they have one. Loved sitting out front on their rocking chairs enjoying my coffee in the country. Huge shout out to Ryan the barista who was exceptionally nice and cool. She knows her coffee free and is a great personality for the Cantina. I'll be back.
