Best Spots for a First Date

It’s quite a challenge to find the perfect spot for a first date. You don’t want to spend too much money, but you want a place that’s enjoyable. You want to appear sophisticated, but not snobby. I’ve been there and done that. Here’s the places I recommend for that special first date in Sioux Falls.

Coffea Roasterie

2318 S Louise Ave & 200 S Phillips Ave

Sure, you could go to Starbucks or Caribou. Or you can show your date that you have better taste than the typical chain coffee place. Both Coffea locations have great seating that are noise free, providing the perfect place for conversation.


Wine & Canvas

5239 W 26th St

Interacting with a group can break up the pressure of having something to talk about. Here, you can have a unique and fun experience by learning some painting techniques while enjoying conversation and your favorite wine.


West Mall 7

2101 W 41st St

If movies are your style, you can catch one here on the cheap. Then hit up Electric Rainbow Arcade to really woo your date by winning some prizes together.


Escape 605

3718 S Westport Ave & 5000 W Empire Pl. (Empire Mall)

A good relationship is based on solving problems together. Test those skills by working together to break out of an escape room. Axe throwing is also offered for a completely unique experience.


Plum’s Cooking Company

401 E 8th St

Learn to cook from a top Sioux Falls chef. Then enjoy the dish you made along with some wine. This option is a bit pricey, but you won’t leave disappointed.


AR Workshop

2101 W 41st St 

Learn to design and build a wooden work of art while enjoying your favorite beer or wine. This option is also a bit pricey, but you at least get to leave with your wooden creation.


Kaladi’s Bistro

1716 S Minnesota Ave

I had to add Kaladi’s because it’s a place that perfectly rides the fine line between fancy and casual dining. It’s perfect to set a “not so serious” mood a frist date requires. It also has great food that won’t hit your wallet.


I hope you select one of these options and leave them seeking a second date. Do you have any other ideas for places to have a first date in Sioux Falls? Share them in the comments section.
