Olifants Tea & Coffee House

Absolutely delicious food and healthy at that! Plenty of options to satisfy everyone. Very extensive list of loose teas, ice tea and smoothies. Thank you for the kind service, amazing food, and cheerful atmosphere:) I'll be back

Such a cute, cozy place. Came here while staying in Hot Springs to visit Badlands and Wind Cave. The staff is so so kind and the food is delicious. I recommend the Nutella crepe and strawberry, peach, + lemon smoothie. Go here!!

Outstanding. Highly recommended by experienced travelers from Switzerland ????????. Absolutely awesome The very best place we’ve been on our roadtrip from Chicago and back. Great hospitality Tasty food And it really is served on ceramic plates and real silverware nothing plastic at all. What a delight. cloth napkin. Wow We LOVE this place.

Each Oliphant tea pot might as well pour out spiritual communion from their tiny ceramic tusks as we gather with our beloved at a table set for the most meaningful conversation of our lives. Just image the conversations, if you could only have them…… For the lost love of my life, I would give all my wasted and restless youth to see your glowing smile next to me as I pour you another glass of your favorite Chocolate Oolang tea while we whimsically banter over terrible vampire novels and how we will have to re-write them to save single woman of the future from idealizing poorly crafted characters who can only manage cheap dialog through disappointingly predictable plot twists. For the brother that died to young, if it would resurrect you I would sacrifice an arm so we could again yell like overly caffeinated schoolboys while we pound far to many shots of Oliphant’s Conrado and Doppio espressos while we argue over how Star Wars should have ended and how Disney terribly ruined the whole saga. For the friend that took a bullet to the chest in Afghanistan, how overwhelmed with joy would I be to reminisce with you about our love of the panini press at the midnight sandwich bar on FOB Warrior while we lavishly enjoy the Oliphant’s gourmet Banh Mi panini. For the grandmother stolen from me by years of Parkinson’s, my God how I always wanted to have this conversation. To finally hear your beautifully accented voice tell me you love me and listen starry-eyed while you sip your Chai and tell me all your stories of growing up in Japan and traveling the world through 9 decades of the last century. For the charming daughter who hasn’t spoken to me in years, how I long to hear your silly laugh as you order a pot of strawberry truffle pu-erh tea. All the heartbroken days without you would be mended one glass at a time as I listen to the stories of your friends and your dearest dreams of the future, a father’s hour in pure heaven. For the father I never told “I love you”, for the grandfather I idolized as a child, for my child never born…. At the Oliphant the stage is set, the perfect table made for a dearest love. Don’t wait, pour the tea, speak the words, don’t miss the opportunity to have the conversation you always wanted or sorrowfully you may have to live with all the words left unsaid.

What a find! The decor and atmosphere were beautiful and fascinating. They even had outdoor dining on their wraparound porch. Olifant used fine china and gold colored silverware. The service was exceptional and friendly. And the food! Delightfully different - had a delicious crepe with avocado and basil drizzle. Their loose-leaf chai was the best I've ever had. Would come back to South Dakota just for this restaurant and tea house! Thanks.

This little gem just barely opened a month ago but that being said they are already a phenomenal place and worth stopping for! From the atmosphere and architecture to the vibe and food it's all absolutely magical!! On the lowest level they have a beautiful array of foods and teas and coffees while the upper level offers alternative holistic healing!!! Definitely a must for locals or anyone on a trip to hot springs

This place is new and on the up. Gorgeous serving ware, cake made with real butter, substantial scones, and crepes with smoky eggs and basil mayo. Eat inside or on the patio. Tea comes with a free refill. The tea menu is three pages long! I hope this place is around next time I make it to SD and that they've worked out the morning to-go lunches like they are hoping to do.

A wonderful visit welcoming you into Hot Springs. Food was delicious with impressive tea and coffee offerings. Staff was so friendly and kind and the atmosphere was top notch!
