Alternative Fuel Coffee House

Cute cafe! Drinks decent. Love that they offer GF options however, my lemon poppyseed bread was a little on the pastey side. Thank you for at least being aware of gluten!!🙏

Leslie. Thank you for joining us the other day. Glad you found that we do have quite a lot of homemade, gf options. I've been very busy trying to provide gf options in whatever variety that I can. Currently we are serving rhubarb bread and lemon blueberry breads. So I'm trying the recipes with the gf options as well. I'm sorry that you found the bread a bit on the pastey side, I respect that. It is a monstrous task to get it all right all the time - especially when there is no gluten to use in the recipes. I'll tweak it a bit and hopefully the next batch won't be so pastey. Also, did you try the gf carrot bites? Those are a great treat, too. And I'm about to make some gf sugar cookies to put up front shortly. I'm just trying a lot of fun ideas and appreciate all the feedback. Thanks again for joining us. Hope to see you back in again soon. Patti G, Owner

Wonderful GF quiche and bread! Food and coffee were great and had no issues at all.

Ate here twice with no issues during a recent stay in Rapid City. Very knowledgeable about cross-contamination procedures, all the GF items are prepared separately, and there are even separate toasters back in the kitchen. Had the GF quiches (make sure you specify; the gf version has no crust), which are especially good if you make order one of their GF everything bagels and combine them into a sandwich (with the sun dried tomato mayo).

I had the gluten free breakfast sandwich on a gluten free everything bagel. They had two options- regular or everything for the bagel. They also had two other gluten free bread choices. I didn’t get sick and the food and coffee were great. Things were marked GF really well. They also had cookies and other goodies.

Recently we had homemade creamy tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches. In March or April we'll have egg salad and chicken salad sandwiches. We'll also have the delightful 605 Special in June and a few others here and there. Until you visit again, Patti G, Owner

Overall not impressed. I echo the other review about the sandwich being small for the price. Also, we order ciabatta but it was definitely more like a gf french roll. Our order took almost 15 min with no others waiting (for a deli club, so not a cooked or hot sandwich). They also forgot our coffee orders, the coffee didn’t taste good, and one of them was wrong. I’m going to chalk it up to then training a new team member but honestly, we could have just gone to Jersey Mikes and stopped for better coffee elsewhere for less money and time. Not worth it.

Amber. GF items are not easy to prepare no matter how fast the staff are. And if there is a line of orders, the preparations to complete to ensure gf items are impeccably taken care of increases that time table. Thus the length at which it took to receive your food. And correct, training new staff is a huge learning curve at the register, at the barista bar, and in the kitchen. Glad you enjoy Jersey Mikes. Nope, we are not them. Nor will we ever be. I apologize for the delay, for the wasted time that you felt you had during this visit, and for the incorrect and disliked coffee. Hope your journey is a positive one and that your gf concerns are addressed and cared for with grace. Patti G, Owner

Great coffee and sandwich place. Their gluten-free breakfast bagels were amazing! We ordered ours with eggs, cheese and bacon. They grill their gluten free bagels and bread to keep it separate from gluten items. The owner is very friendly and understands cross contamination and takes many measures to prevent it. I ate their several times and didn't get sick once. Also, all of their smoothies can be made dairy free, if desired. If you have food allergies and want someone who takes it seriously, this is the place to go.

Was tasty and safe, but just FYI the proportions are pretty small in my opinion. I probably could have eaten two sandwiches. I got a BLT on the everything bagel. Also, I got a mocha and it tasted really bad, I don’t know if I just had bad luck? Anyway the sandwich was really good, just small.

Maggie. The proportions are smaller but are not only healthier but are also more expensive to produce. If the sandwiches are bare, with no veggies, then yes, the size will be seen as small. But put some garden on that plate and you'll be filled a lot faster than eating just bacon and tomatoes. Just a suggestion. As for the mocha, I'm curious if there was a mix up and the chocolate wasn't added or the milk was wrong. I do apologize for that inconvenience. That is not something we want to happen to anyone. If you are ever in the shop again, give me a heads up so I can assist with the corrective action that needs to happen to guarantee your mocha is tasty and is on the house. But I'll need to know in advance of your visit, please. Respectfully, Patti G, Owner

This was such a cute place to eat this morning. The lady that helped us was so great with making sure my GF bagel was on the GF grill and not run through the toaster. The food was so delicious.

We eat here almost every week. Miss Patty is so great with making sure that she is being safe with our food.

I wanted to love this place but I seemed to have a completely different experience than other reviewers. Not sure what all the hype is for “celiac safe”.. I read all reviews, called ahead and was told they keep a portion of the grill separate for only gluten free items, and felt very reassured they could provide a safe hot sandwich. Went in about 15 minutes after calling and was told they recommend a cold sandwich if very sensitive. So I ended up ordering a cold ham and cheese on “bread”. It was almost $8 and didn’t come with anything else (no side or drink). I opened up my container and it ended up being Turkey, not ham on what looks like a Schar bread roll. Bare naked other than that and they didn’t have packets of Mayo or mustard and I was not offered any veggies for sandwich. Also, gluten free treats are baked in same pans as regular items so take caution. I didn’t bother asking any more questions as I already felt unsure and annoyed.

Jaimz. I'm sorry for this experience. You are right, this sandwich was not our best footing in your path. There are so many things that should have been done differently. Why you were told to have a 'cold' sandwich, I'm flustered about. Why the meat was wrong, the bread was wrong, and that there was no addons suggested (at register & relayed to the kitchen), I'm again flustered and now appalled.

As for our baking, correct, we do use the same pans however the pans are not only rinsed thoroughly, they are then washed, rinsed off again, and sanitized in bleach water for 30+seconds. The pan usage shouldn't be your complaint. The staff issue that didn't follow thru on our reputation and on our solidness of being homemade & friendly should be the foremost issue at hand.

With that said, if you are ever in town again, please let us have a Mulligan. Call and ask for me, Patti. Let me assist you and make up for what was lacking in the first place. I'm sincerely sorry for the inaction that was taken and for the deflating experience you were given. Respectfully, Patti G, Owner

They can make almost anything on the menu into a gluten-free option, and it all tastes AMAZING!! They're super friendly and helpful. It's my favorite place in town. Would highly recommend!

Friendly staff and a bunch of gf options. All sandwiches can be made on gf bread/ciabatta/bagel. The quiches are also available gf-minus the crust. I had the farmers quiche which was super delicious and the ham, cheese, sausage bagel. The bagel was fluffy and not dry. They also have cookies and some cake.

Recently changes have been implemented with the items offered, however we still have gf items, just more seasonally selective. Come in and visit us again, Patti G, Owner.

Service was wonderful. Cute little hole in the wall place. Great GF options. I had spinach and tomato quiche and my son had oatmeal with fruit and pecans. We even purchased some lemon and blueberry bread to eat later. Would definitely eat here again. They had lots of coffee and teas and also offered smoothies.

She has a dedicated gluten free grill for paninis and asks if you are celiac and then takes the proper precautions. She’s so sweet! Definitely will be coming back when I’m in Rapid City again!

Suzy. Since your last visit, we have expanded even what you mentioned. The smoothies have expanded from 12 to about 40; the cookies are seasonal options that rotate thru and are certified gf items made in house; the gf quiche is a hit all year; and we are bringing in gf egg sticks that are for travelers who don't want to sit and eat. I'm glad you enjoyed the gf bread options for our sandwiches. Sadly we've had to remove all sandwich options from our menus, however we'll return some seasonally and limited. Until your next visit, we wish you steadfast health. Patti G, Owner

Be very careful if you don’t know what’s gf and what’s not. The stag thought they were knowledgeable but I don’t think they knew exactly what gf is. They said the oats in the fuel bites were “rolled oats so they are gf” but that’s not completely true obviously I didn’t get that obviously. CAUTION some smoothies have malt so those are not gluten free. However the smoothie I chose and the gf cookies were very delicious and went back again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Kirsten. Correct, rolled oats are NOT gf certified oats. As for the the fuel bites, we do use Quaker oats, which are NOT certified. However, for us, they are the most economical and cost affective. And generally if the conversation is one of gf issues and smoothies are ordered, we do direct customers away from the malt items, or if anything, advise removal of the malt. Hope your journey is a positive one and that your gf concerns are addressed and cared for with grace. Patti G, Owner

Vanilla latte is gluten free. Most of their syrups are safe.
