What People Are Saying

from Google

"Vanilla Italian cream soda. Chicken and wild rice is truly excellent, served with a BLT and pickle 💕 phenomenal Pina colada bread pudding in the center and breakfast and iced latte for my partner. The eggs were cooked correctly and the potatoes were crisp. We came at a perfect time in the morning to sit outside with the dogs and it was just a lovely all around experience."

"I ordered hashbrowns with veggies. The food was prepared quickly with no issues. Very friendly staff. Special shout out to Laney for her calm and helpful demeanor towards customers. I'll definitely be back. PS - many tea options and other non-coffee choices"

"I went and tried this place out because a friend of mine recommended it to me, when I went in this nice girl with green hair greeted me, she was very sweet and helpful with the menu, I got the grill cheese and chicken wild rice soup, that soup has to be the best soup I’ve ever had. I had a great conversation with the girl working, hoping to run into her when I go back. Great place for food 10/10"

"Maybe not THAT grand… The short trip to Eau Claire was coming to a close and I needed some food before I hit the road home. Around the corner from where Tim lives is a cafe he’s been to a few times. We took the short stroll there to get some breakfast and coffee in us. We popped in after the major breakfast crowd and before the lunch crowd made the small cafe packed. We took a seat towards the front by the window so we could get some natural light to go with our meal. Our waitress was a hoot. She was professional but really chatty and we all quickly got on the topic of horror movies, spooky things, and the love for reading. I got the house coffee with a biscotti stick to go with it. Tim got a latte thing. The waitress forgot my biscotti but quickly brought it over when I asked her about it. As for our meal, I ordered just the french toast and Tim got a full course meal. I wanted to eat somewhat light as I had the long drive but… when I say I got french toast… it was the most basic two slices of french toast I’ve ever had. It ended up tasting decent but for $8.49, it just felt like it needed to some with a side of protein or eggs or something. Tim said his The Grand Gatsby and Bread Pudding was good, even if he doesn’t care for Mango, which is what his Bread Pudding flavor was. The biscotti was really good, even better dipped in the coffee. The coffee itself was your typical drip coffee that you’d find across the country. Not great but not bad. It served it purpose. While it was a bit of a letdown that my last meal before heading home was less than stellar but the memories made at the cafe (and the whole trip) are one you can’t put a rating on. With that in mind, if we visit here again in 2025, I will definitely get a more substantial meal than two meager slices of french toast."

"Went to go get breakfast, the girl at the counter was on her phone the whole time, didn't pay attention to me for the first 5 minutes I was there. There was maybe 3 groups of people in the cafe the entire time I was sitting there, I had to go up to the counter to ask for a refill on my coffee twice. And 4$ for a cup of coffee? Go to the acoustic cafe and they have it for 1.50$, absolutely outrageous. The floors were stained and there was a weird blob in the carpst next to the door, as if they haven't replaced them in years or just don't clean them at all. The food was ok."
