The Exchange Coffee, Mercantile & Eatery

The best scones you will ever have. Also an awesome coffee establishment with great atmosphere and very bougie. Their scones are how scones are supposed to be. Moist, warm, being able to eat it with a fork. Waffles were great, we tried the seasonal special and the combination of flavors of apple, cinnamon, and whipped cream was perfect in the fall. The only suggestion would be to add more apples to the dish. It just needs a couple more apples.

For the past few days I have had a tremendous chocolate craving that was fueled by summer advertisements of people making s’mores. This morning , when I stopped in for my first visit at The Exchange, I noticed they had hot Chocolate. Their hot chocolate is the best I have ever had, including international travels. It was so creamy and smooth and the right amount of chocolate.

I also had their Avocado, egg & tomato breakfast sandwich which was made with one of their bubble waffles. I was skeptical about a sandwich made out of a waffle but it was nice and fluffy. It was a welcome change to the dried out piece of toast or chewy bagel that normally accompanies an avocado/egg sandwich.

I will definitely be returning and look forward to trying new menu items.

The other day I went for breakfast and coffee with my girlfriend and it was our first time at The Exchange. The place is very cool inside and offers lots of seating options. Could easily hang with one friend, a larger group, or alone! The food menu was small-I only saw crepes, waffles, and some sides-but the online menu looks like they have a lot more wonderful options! I did not see any of these when I was there???
You order at the counter and food is then brought to your table when it's ready.
I had the strawberry waffle and turkey bacon. It was DELISH!
I also had the daily special iced coffee-it was tasty but a little strong for my taste. Next time I will ask for extra cream!
I will definitely be back!

The food was great and the employee's were very courteous. Unfortunately I must have gone at peak time cause the place was packed and everything took quite a bit. Very active environment in the morning but the place itself has an enjoyable atmosphere.

Love this coffee shop! The ascetic is incredible, the food and coffee is delicious, and the accessibility is great. I’m often and town for work and make sure to stop in every time. If you come at peak hours be sure to expect a little wait on food.

Really great food! Their coffee was pretty great as well. The atmosphere is a very relaxed atmosphere and the staff was great! It's a little on a pricier side so it'll be one of our "go out for a treat" places and probably without the kids, but will definitely be back!

My husband and I stopped here about six months ago when we were in the DePere area and absolutely loved it. We brought our daughter back when we were going to watch a St Norbert swim/dive meet. Great food, A+ atmosphere, incredible coffee. If you are rushed for time be prepared that you should just stop for coffee and come back when you aren’t under a time constraint because the food doesn’t come out from the kitchen quickly. Well worth the wait though. We met the owner (a St Norbert grad herself) who was working hard and still stopped to chat. I would absolutely recommend this place!

I love this coffee place. There is a great atmosphere with a large variety on the menu. The staff is always very friendly. There is lots of parking behind the building and they offer a great student discount.

I definitely recommend the fruit bowl and the grilled cheese waffle bites. They are awesome! On that note, I waited over 45 minutes to receive these two things which I personally thought was an excessive amount of time considering that the place was not busy and there were lots of staff.

I will absolutely keep coming back to try their new drinks and get some studying done.

Fantastic place, great coffee and food. Wonderful ambience with live edge and recycled decor. Friendly staff, very clean, easy to hear everyone in your group. I had the Philly cheese steak on a crepe, it was delicious! I highly recommend giving this place a try.

I absolutely love this place! Their coffee is so good. I was one of those Starbucks lovers for years but now only very seldom do I go there and only when the Exchange is closed. My favorite is their lavender latte. They also have a large menu for breakfast and lunch! And everything I've tried is great. Their bubble waffles are unique and very good. The coffee shop is awesome and very relaxing to sit while enjoying your coffee, with plenty of seating options. The staff is ALWAYS so friendly. The only bad thing about this place is that they aren't open more😉 as they have stayed to their new covid hours, closing at 2pm. I always keep their coffee beans at home for when I can't get to The Exchange. Best coffee and coffee shop in town! They also have their own barber shop attached which my husband goes to and likes. And he's very particular about his hair.
