Overview

Coffea Roasterie launched in 2009 in Sioux Falls and is South Dakota's leading specialty coffee operation, run today by CEO Darin Kaihoi and a four-cafe footprint across Phillips, Highline, Louise, and Dawley Farm. The Louise Avenue location houses the roasting and training lab, while the team co-hosts the Sioux River Roast Off and runs the 'Sioux Falls Strong' partnership that distributed merchandise sales toward the One Sioux Falls pandemic-relief fund.

Known for

  • South Dakota's flagship specialty roaster (2009)
  • Four Sioux Falls cafes including a downtown Phillips Ave anchor
  • Co-hosts the Sioux River Roast Off regional roaster competition
  • Bakery program producing fresh pastries daily for all locations
  • Curiosity, collaboration, quality — operating principle

Why it matters

Coffea is the operation that made specialty coffee normal in Sioux Falls, expanding from a single cafe to four locations, a roasting lab, and a wholesale program — proof that a Plains city of 200,000 can sustain a serious third-wave scene.
