Quaint, quiet and little cafe in the heart of downtown. The savory crepe is my all-time favorite breakfast item.

If you love European delicacies, this place is a must! I've had macaroons in several places around the country and nothing has topped these. The other deserts are to die for and so it the french-press coffee! Charming building in the heart of downtown.

Great breakfast spot and super unique café style. Weekends are their busiest times, expect at least a 45 minute wait. This place is super dog friendly!

Sightseeing
A must-see for Sioux Falls. If you visit during the summer, have lunch in the park. If you visit around the holidays, it is beautifully decorated. In January-February it's frozen and absolutely stunning, especially with a decent amount of snow!

Small park but absolutely breath-taking.
If you visit here, you will want to eat at "Oh So Good". Featured in Diners, Drive In and Drives with Guy Fieri. Chef Omar cooks southern comfort foods in an open style kitchen with often live music. A true hidden gem!
