Krave Café opened in Aberdeen in August of 2024. They are currently ranked by 605 magazine as South Dakota’s best bistro.
Krave is also the only location for crêpes in about four hours’ travel time from their current location on Eisenhower Circle.
Dominika Blum, the owner of the café, was inspired to open Krave by her extensive travels and early life in Poland. She has over 20 years of restaurant experience as well as a degree in architecture.
Krave’s atmosphere is akin to a local bistro in Europe.
“We take pride in cultivating a family-friendly yet elegant environment, where thoughtful touches like creative menu names, purse holders and various seating arrangements set us apart,” Blum said. “For us, it’s more than running a restaurant; it’s about fostering meaningful connections, building a legacy of care and delivering outstanding service that keeps our guests craving Krave.”
Blum said her goal for her business is to inspire joy with every bite and sip, referencing its tagline “Sips, Eats, Sweets.”
The restaurant’s baker, Mary Collins, arrives at four in the morning and makes all of Krave’s pastries.
“As for baked goods,” Blum said, “our biscones, a divine marriage between a biscuit and a scone, are a hands-down favorite, followed by our lemon bread and crinkle bars. Guests rave about them every time, and for good reason — they’re simply irresistible.”
The experience in Krave Café doesn’t stop at the food.
“One of the things I’m most excited about is seeing our incredible team continue to thrive,” Blum said. “Watching them grow both professionally and personally has been incredibly rewarding.”
She said she is looking forward to new opportunities for growth with both the restaurant and its employees. But for now, she is excited about the menu — which includes its best seller — crepes.
Krave’s best seller as far as crêpes go is the Monte Cristo, which features ham, turkey, white cheddar, Dijon mustard, raspberry jam, and powdered sugar. When it comes to teas, however, the coconut green tea is the cafe’s most demanded drink.
“Krave After Dark Series” is what Krave Café becomes after hours. The café becomes an event space, which hosts everything from painting classes to lessons in etiquette. Blum also aims to offer live music with local musicians at least once a month. For a schedule of events, find Krave on Facebook or at www.welovekrave.com.
“Whether enjoying a café con miel while studying, sharing a pot of tea with a friend, or sparking human connection and conversation, Krave was designed to fill that need,” said Blum.
Krave Café is located at 1801 Eisenhower Circle, Aberdeen. Its hours are 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. – 8:30 p.m. Friday, 8 a.m. – 8:30 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. Sunday.

The University of South Dakota announced on Wednesday, April 22, that Athletic Director Jon Schemmel has received a five-year contract extension running through the 2030-31 academic year.

“The University of South Dakota and Vermillion community is where our family wants to be,” Schemmel said in a press release. “I am humbled and grateful for the continued trust from President (Sheila) Gestring and the South Dakota Board of Regents to continue leading this athletics program. Coyote Nation has the best fans and donors, and we have a group of coaches, staff and student-athletes who are committed to competing for championships and continuing their excellence in the classroom and community.”
The athletics department has raised $49 million since Schemmel took over as AD, including $35 million in the 2025-26 academic year.
The Coyotes have won a Missouri Valley Football Conference championship and Summit League volleyball and men’s indoor track and field titles with Schemmel at the helm.
“USD’s athletic programs continue to thrive under Jon’s leadership,” Gestring said. “His knowledge of Division I athletics, forward-thinking vision for our teams and strength in fundraising have all been assets to our university. Our program is in great hands, and I am looking forward to seeing what Jon, his staff and our student-athletes achieve in the next five years.”
