Cottonwood Bistro

Nice outdoor view and the best coffee in Brookings is Caramel macchiato with tiramisu syrup and whipped cream! Also price is cheaper compared to other places👌🏽

Great options! We had been eating badly on the road. It was refreshing to have excellent salads with real dishes and utensils! Hearty sandwiches as well.

Incredible establishment. Great menu. Great service. Young man named Trevor made our visit an absolute pleasure. What a gentleman. A must stop anytime I pass through Brookings, SD.

Wonderful place to take a coffe or chai tea and enjoy it. Very friendly staff and good service. Highly recommended!

We love cottonwood. It's very kid friendly. Our daughter is a fan of the pancakes. Everything on the menu is great. The coffee is exceptional.

Excellent...see below. It would have been nice if there was a sign instructing customers to order from the wall menu at the counter because it is not intuitive given the upscale diner vibe. Ordering for the first time in an unfamiliar restaurant is also stressful so I would have liked to take my time contemplating a sufficiently detailed paper (or digital) menu at my table, even if I did have to order at the counter. It is also hard for me to see wall menus because I need new glasses and I often forget them altogether. BUT WAIT!! All of that was quickly forgotten after the food and coffee arrived. I tasted fresh wholesome ingredients. The meal seemed to be prepared with love either of flavor or of humanity...or both! That led me to buy the homemade granola. Excellent!! Plus, they had fancy salt!

I love cottonwood. It's a local gem! The food is fresh and delicious 😊 it may take some time to get your food so plan to stay a little while. Nothing wrong with slowing down a little to enjoy lunch.

Found this cute little place this weekend and it was delicious. I recommend trying it out if you haven't already.

I went with the old standby, 2 eggs, bacon and toast, but there are some great looking items on the menu. Particularly, the baked oatmeal.
Next time.
Service is friendly and efficient.
Kudos.

Great! They were amazing about getting my drink out on time. It is so chill and nice in the Cottonwood Bistro. I highly advise going there it is always tasty, and the smoothies are amazing. It is such a great place to come with your family after church or anytime. If you just want to come with a friend that's great to.

I really like the small-town feel Cottonwood has. The staff is easy to have a conversation with and it's also a great place to go to be alone and study.
I'm more and more impressed each time I come here with the quality of coffee they serve. They definitely put work into their craft, and it shows. Their light roast brews are especially delicious and they make really good lattes as well.
The food is pretty good too. Definitely fresh ingredients and a reasonable variety.

Great walnut,blueberry pancake, sausage yummy 1 egg over easy to top it off & dark roast coffee... dddddelicious .

Great veggie panini and yummy coconut milk latte! Great service!

They have such a good breakfast sandwich. I always swap the English muffins for the bagel. The best bagel I've ever had! The staff is always so courteous.

Very good food, nice selection of food and great, friendly service

My wife and I noticed that people who ordered after we did were getting their food/drinks before us. By the time we got our food, it had been 40 minutes. I talked with the owner, Jacob, to let him know what had happened and he was very apologetic. I definitely appreciated that, and the food was fantastic. Those 2 things are why we will come back!

Fantastic food, amazing coffee, and a great location. We will be back soon!

Quality casual food. They make a lot of their items from scratch (granola, pastries, baked oatmeal) and really focus on getting it perfect. Compared to the downtown location, this Cottonwood seems to focus a bit more on brunch-y foods than drinks (not to say that they don't have great drinks, too). Excellent place for a light meal any time of the day.

Sandwiches are amazing! Turkey Panini with salad- balsamic dressing is my favorite

The food here is healthy and delicious!
They have a lot of great options for breakfast and lunch!

The atmosphere is nice for studying or talking and hanging out
