I looooove the hot hoagies and Zymurgy root beer. Service is always great and quick! Excellent soup options, bakery options, and the hoagie is amazing with everything on it. I also stop in and get the hand scooped ice cream occasionally.
Inexpensive great tasting food. Healthy options and fantastic soups. Loved it & will be back
Best gluten free wraps and special sauce!!!
Overall its a good cafe I was in menomonie for collage and this place was close to my dorm. The vibe is awesome.
Decided to stop in last night with my boyfriend to grab a bite and drink. I hadn't been here in a while and decided why not! We waited off the side as we looked at the menu, to stay out of the way. I have trouble seeing and hearing. When we ordered i couldn't hear too well and ordered a Medium drink. The lady who I assume is the manager was incredibly rude, she got frustrated and yelled at me to pick small or large. I'm sorry for misunderstanding, As I have trouble hearing and couldn't read the menu well. I felt very unwelcomed and honestly just wanted to leave after that in tears. The other staff was very friendly. We ordered nachos and it was just tortilla chips with some shredded cheese on top they melted in the microwave, not at all worth the price. The coffee was alright, it did take awhile to get it though, however it was a bit busy so I completely understand. Until that rude manager or whoever she is is gone, I will not be coming back, and I suggest you dont either. I was just trying to enjoy my night. It's a shame this nice cafe turned out like this.
Great sandwiches, less than great service. I went in the other day to get a soup and sub with my roommate, once I ordered I asked the woman behind the counter (who is also the owner) for a water glass. Pretty standard restaurant hospitality practice right? However, the owner declined and offered to sell me a water bottle instead. Baffled by this, I asked why they do not provide a cup of water to their paying customers. The owners' response? The Dunn county vacation rate is only 50%..... Surprised by this response I didn't say anything, I grabbed my table marker and sat down. I didn't push back or start acting erratic in any way. Then the next time I went in to get a sub she pointed me out to one of her workers and whispered something to him. I didn't hear what she said, but I'm sure they were very nice words that she had to say about me :) long story short, go for the sandwiches, not the non-existent customer service. I'm honestly surprised they are still in business after going through and reading all these reviews about how terrible of a person the owner is.
Great soup, chilli, n sandwich 🥪😋. Food was delicious.
Good prices, amazing food omg. We got both of the main meals and each was amazing. Service was good. Went on a sunday at around noon and it wasn't too busy.
Great service, high quality delicious food, quick service. Will dine here again!
This place hasn’t been the same since Covid. Service has gotten worse (even compared to the challenges all restaurants face) but the food is still the same. Come for the food, not the service.
Great food, sadly the employees are rude and short with you. If you are open until 8 and I come in at 7, you’re still working and making food. Change your hours if you stop providing polite service to paying customers who did nothing wrong.
My husband and I have been going to Acoustic ever since the opened, we decided to go there for dinner last night and order our favorite hoagie sandwich. Wanted a rootbeer float but they we out of vanilla ice cream so my husband chose something else and they were out of that as well. When we got our sandwiches and began to eat them they tasted way different. We couldn't pin point what it was but they were not very good. Didn't have nearly the amount of condiments and turkey as before and the taste was totally different. The banana peppers were like shredded so you couldn't really taste them, they used to be sliced. We didn't eat the whole sandwich and went up and talked with the counter staff to tell them something was different. She said nothing had changed but we know in our taste buds that something was definitely different. When we got home I opened up the sandwich and certainly the quality wasn't there. Very disappointing
The Soup and 1/3 sandwich/wrap was great. If your creative, you make a French dip sandwich and yum.
Delicious sandwiches and soup! Somehow Menomonie food is much better than EC location.
Just passing through the area. A cashier at a local store suggested this Cafe so we decided to check it out. Our lunch was good, I had a pita sandwich and soup. We may go back another day to try breakfast before we leave the area, the baked goods look tasty.
The french soda is actually really good. However the lady at the counter is very rude, as other reviewers agree. I went here with my boyfriend less than a month ago and the bad memory hasn’t left me. We walked in and spent at the very most two minutes looking at the menu above while talking about if we wanted a sandwich or soup. The lady at the counter had been staring us down the entire time and rudely interrupts us with a tone saying theres a printed menu “if that one is too hard for you”. I checked behind us to make sure we weren’t in anyones way to warrant being rushed and there was no one else. So we walk up to read the printed menu and I ordered a sandwich and a french soda. I was very harshly asked what I wanted on the sandwich mind you. This had also been my first time having french soda so I didn’t know I was supposed to pick a flavor- I sure wish I was asked to pick a flavor nicely. By the time our food arrived I was on the verge of wanting to go home and cry but I was very hungry. I took one bite of the sandwich and I couldn’t swallow it. It was very disgusting as if it was dunked in dish water. Though I’m not claiming anything had happened to it. The soda was very tasty though. I decided to leave without a word and will never be returning unless I hear that the mean lady is no longer working there.
This is my favorite restaurant in Menomonie. Have never had a bad sandwich or soup in the 15+ years of going there. The ice cream is awesome and such a great value. The workers are always very respectful.
DO NOT GO HERE if you have children or love anyone on the spectrum. The Lady manager is the worst human being I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealing with. They literally kicked out my family because my sister who is on the spectrum couldn’t “control” her kids who are also on the spectrum! This isn’t the first time this lady has been the worst human being ever and she needs to learn how to treat people respectfully especially when she’s in customer service! I pray no one supports this horrible business.
Awesome beer cheese soup and sandwiches are good size for the price. Very college vibe and very chill.
Alright, so I heard SO much about this place when I moved to Menomonie and I was excited to try it out. I used to own a coffee shop, so I was most interested in the espresso drinks. I told the guy at the register that I wanted I White Mocha, which is one of the most common drinks at any coffee shop. He looked at me, then at the menu in front of me, and said "Do we have that on the menu?" I laughed, found it on the menu and realized that it was worded as a "White Chocolate Mocha" instead of White Mocha. In my opinion, someone working at a place like this should know what a White Mocha is, but let's forget about it. I also ordered a Carrot Cake Muffin and a slice of Banana Chocolate Chip Bread. Both of those were really, really delicious! I would definitely go back for their baked goods. On the other hand? The White Mocha I got was terrible. It was extremely watery, which a latte/mocha should never be, and it was so bitter that I couldn't even drink it. Let me say this, I NEVER throw out a coffee. Even if it's not perfect, I'll still drink it. But this one? I just couldn't make myself drink such a bitter, watery thing when what I was craving was a creamy, sweet White Mocha. I haven't tried their other menu items, but I will one day since I've heard their sandwiches are really good. And I know I'll have to try the coffee again just in case it was a fluke. But man, I'm scared to order another coffee there!! Until I try the coffee again, I'd recommend you go to The Blind Munchies or Golden Leaf Café if you need a good espresso drink!
