Lovely staff- Vinnie was amazing and the blended white angel coffee is to DIE for, but they have a ton of different flavors to try. A must for coffee if you're passing through the area.

The owner of this restaurant is so sweet. My boyfriend and I were just passing through with our family on a road trip. We are vegan so our options we a bit slim on the menu, but she was so accommodating and made us a very delicious sandwich loaded with veggies. Excellent customer service.

Great facility

Sandy Burt

The food arrived at different times. We're talking 30 minutes. Our drinks were not refilled or even offered to be filled. The waitress announced only one chicken breast was available for dinner. Pass on this place.

Jonathan Nikoleyczik

Great coffee shop in Lead. Lots of options for both food and drinks. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The shop itself has some paintings up for sale from local artists which I really appreciate. They are tightly knit with the community and do their part to promote and help their neighbors.

Trevor Walsh

Super good breakfast fajita! Extremely friendly people! Thank you!

dane pi

Great food with gluten free options. Coffee is good, but sometimes is served extremely hot and not able to drink right away.

Jackie Bland

Great place, great people, great coffee.

Great little shop with awesome views of the park, cut, and surrounding hills. There is an excellent sandwich and drink selection too - just plan to spend about $10 on lunch. Love the atmosphere!

Larry Fouts

Great service very friendly. Great food

Allyssa Gregory

I have yet to have anything less than an excellent experience at Lotus Up! The food is amazing, the coffee is possibly the best I've ever had, and the staff are wonderful and attentive. One of the best restaurants in the northern hills!

Jaki Thoms

This place was awesome!! All the food was delicious. Be sure to go.

Carol Katz

Excellent food and latte. Since I first rated I've been back many times, it helps that I live very close. The food is still excellent, the service is superb,the staff is wonderful, friendly and a pleasure to know.

Brad Derby

Soup and Monte cristo are awesome! I'll be back again!

Cindy Bland

It is a good place to meet and visit with friends. But the prices are high for the quality of the drinks

Dezarae Dowers

Their vanilla chai latte is FANTASTIC! Not too sweet, not to unsweet. Perfect for tea lovers. My brother got a caramel movha frappe and it was very very sweet. They happily made him a new one that is less sweet for free. Pannini was delicious. Fruit was very cold.

Kim Maag

Great coffee!

Charlette Twamley

A wonderful time with excellent Coffee & a great view of Lead open cut!

Rosalie Dowers

So this was one of my favorite stops of our trip to the area. Great view and so relaxing. A must stop for a breakfast, brunch, or lunch stop. The Coffee revived our spirits. The tea was terrific too!

Kent Jacobs

Monte Cristo is to die for!

Scott Kost

Excellent Food and Service

Bekah Veal

We went there, in their drive through, for 4 drinks. Mine was on the weaker side :-( like their espresso doesn’t pack much punch...just sort of blah watered down shots. I ordered honey and couldn’t taste it at all, so I got out of car and went in and asked for some. Just was hoping for more of a wow drink like Dixon in Rapid City. Nice place but didn’t get my excitement for a new coffee shop to go to. . I hate talking bad but other folks who want strong coffee may want to know this. Maybe i just had someone new or something make my drink. Nice folks working there though!

Simon Fiorucci

Best sandwiches in Lead! Monte Cristo is top of the list. Very friendly staff.

Renee Kahler

Great coffee and lunch items. Excellent service. They are also really good about gluten free! There's even a dedicated gf panini maker.

Level Dupp

Good food, great view, little too expensive for for a thin panini, chips and a pickle. Tasted great though!

David Seffren

Stayed at an AirBNB in Lead for Bike Rally. Lotus Up was our morning GoTo for great coffee on their deck overlooking the old open mine.

Jessica Zimmer

Beautiful coffee shop. Great view of the open cut. Good food and drinks. Staff is always friendly . Choices to eat in or outside. Only place to get a good Panini in the hills. Yummy way too big for 1 Caramel rolls. Love the one with pecans.

Gina Leguria

Great pannini and coffee. Sit outside and enjoy the view.

Mary Fauth

Love this place good food and great atmosphere

Matt Hohrath

This little shop was incredible! I stopped in here on a road trip and wished I lived close to here because I’d be here everyday. Our bagels we got were homemade and were the perfect consistency. We got the chai tea and coffee as well which were both delicious. The shop had very chill vibes and there were all sorts of nooks that would be great to do some reading. This is a must stop at shop!

Jeremy Lander

Cozy place. Great drinks and excellent food. Must stop in if in the area. You can't go wrong here. 2 thumbs up

Jill Olson

A super fun place for morning or lunch. The view of the gold mine open-cut and a new play ground across the street is so cool. Sit on a comfy couch or balcony table. Take your time and relax. Or use the drive up window.

Jennifer Rose

The best coffee in the black hills!! And the staff his amazing!

Allie Zellers

Atmosphere was great and the food was okay.

Greg Sund

Great service and excellent view of the open cut which has changed a lot from my memory.

Kelsey Bedford

I love coming here for lunch and to work on my computer.

Mike LaQua

Just awesome service and food.

John Rystrom

Great people, good place to meet up with friends.

Sara Morgan

The view off the patio is nice but I'd expect to be disappointed with any food item that wasn't a bagel or a caramel roll. $4.00 for a small bigelow green tea that you can get at any diner for $1.00. Lunch meat and fake eggs make up the rest of the menu. But I guess that's what coffee shops are all about, so if you're down for paying for "atmosphere" and sacrificing quality... this is the place.

cindy sneesby

Best coffee EVER

Will Malde

Delicious food and drinks!! If you need coffee this is your place in Lead! They also have fantastic views of the city of Lead!! Both indoor and outdoor seating!!

Dj Gilcrease

Best coffee in the area

Tim Shock

Was not the best

Talha Khan

Nice stop for lunch

Aaron Morlock

Stopped in today hoping for a good breakfast. Spent $30 on a panini, a breakfast fajita, and two cups of tea. 4 dollars for a bigalo green tea packet and hot water. The view from the balcony was great but the food was not especially when you consider the cost. Lunch meat sandwich in a panini maker, fajita had pre-made eggs (like at McDonald’s) and packaged cooked bacon, cheap and tasteless salsa, and while it was advertised to have “fresh” fruit it was only 4 pieces of mixed fruit obviously from a bucket of fruit melody. I wouldn’t recommend which is disappointing as I want Lead to have a great breakfast place but this one just isn’t it for us.

I S

Very nice, cozy space. The coffee, however, was thin. The ratio of water to coffee was off.

Duane Hess

Best coffee shop I've ever been to in the world!!! Great coffee, food, price, & options. The owner & workers are the best also!

Rick Goeringer

Best gathering place for Breakfast and coffee in the Black Hills.

Matt Klein

Excellent food, great coffee, wonderful views.

My wife and I are traveling through the west a stopped at Lead SD for the night. We got up and decided we would like some breakfast and looked up Lotus Up and decided to try it. The food was excellent. If you are in the area give it a try.

Joleisa Jennings

Amazing little coffee shop. Besides some confusion I witnessed behind the counter it was very enjoyable.

Scott b

Good food. Good service. Good prices. Very nice place to get coffee. Nice views.

Deb Mathiowetz

WOW, you couldn't ask for more, caffeine that tastes wonderful, biscuits and gravy as good as anywhere in the south and if your sweet tooth guides your choices I recommend the caramel roll.

Amy T

Great service, food is (and choices of are) fantastic, the coffee is the best I've ever had! Amazing views, I want to eat here every day & every meal during my vacation!

Jordan VanMaanen

Best Chai Tea Latte I have ever had!!!

Cheryl Moore

Cute little shop with coffee and food.

Stephen Brown

The new location has a fantastic view, the people are awesome, and the paninis are toasted, fresh goodness! :-D What more can one ask? A great place for a casual meet up with friends and family in Lead! Worth the trip from elsewhere, as well!

Britta Noelle

I ordered a chai latte, and it just tasted like steamed cream. I didnt really have much of a chai flavor. I have heard that their other drinks are fantastic though, so next time I'll switch up my order a bit! :) super friendly service, and a great atmosphere!

Jeremy Graves

Decent food and service, great atmosphere. Stop by and try it.

DrBob McIntosh

Nice staff & owner was delightful. She was able to give a brief history of the area. Biscuits & gravy was house made & banana nut muffin was moist & flavorful.

chadd hudson

OMG, incredible views. Great coffee & sandwiches. Escape the crazy in Deadwood & relax here for lunch or coffee.

Dustin Floyd

Beautiful building, friendly staff, and damn good coffee and baked goods. Great local stop for hot drinks.

Ryan Keller

Staff was really rude - "what do you want?" was all they said, no eye contact. Drinks were terrible too.

Gwendolyn Pedler

Quick and easy stop to get breakfast and coffee. They have a drive thru also. I came inside where there is seating on the main floor, upstairs, and outside.
