BrewBerry Bistro — Restaurant in Sturgis

Latte Drinkers Beware. I came into the coffee shop today in high spirits and eager to try a latte from this new coffee shop. I ordered a simple 16oz latte with no extra flavors. The barista seemed a little short tempered and when asked questions about the menu, she acted agitated or almost unfriendly.

While making the latte, you could hear she was struggling with frosting the milk. When the barista got done, she just dumped hot milk into my yeti mug and stated, Be Careful. It’s extremely HOT. Normal frosted milk temperatures are between 140 to 150 degrees. The milk can become over heated and have a burnt taste at 170 degrees. This milk was almost at boiling temperature. It is clear from the first photo that the milk was not stretched properly, due to too much air bubbles and the glass not being full. The second photo shows what happens when you burn the milk and now there is a thick layer of burnt milk floating on top of the latte. I ended up dumping out the latte and ran over to a different coffee shop to...

Service was great and staff were friendly. My husband got the quiche and was very pleased with it, and it looked good. I got the breakfast pasty and fresh OJ. Both were very… meh… to say the least. The pasty was over cooked and pastry was burnt. It was also super salty (which is saying a lot, as we tend to use more salt than most). It also tasted like it might have had freezer burn prior to being cooked/served. The OJ was served warm, and I think the machine they use for making the fresh squeezed OJ may not have done the best at peeling the oranges as it also tasted quite pithy. Prior to leaving, my husband ordered a fresh squeezed lemonade and I a kids temp breve latte. The latte was decent, he said the lemonade was ‘not very good’ it had zero sweetness and he would not order again (I gave it a taste and it did taste like very strong lemon water with zero sugar). Pros: quiche and coffee are good, staff is great, atmosphere is nice. Cons: OJ and lemonade are not good. Breakfast pasty leaves a lot...

We stopped in for a quick coffee fix during Rally - the atmosphere was very clean and nice looking. I had high expectations when I saw they had a great espresso machine. The girl working was very nice and helped us out. I got a black iced americano and it was definitely one of the best I’ve had. My fiancé got an iced vanilla latte and she said it was a little too sweet, but that in general it was very good. This will probably be my go to spot when I’m in town...
