My favorite coffee/breakfast/quick lunch place in EC. Coffee and matcha latte are always made perfectly. Good bakery stuff. For breakfast, Lox plate and the Tofu Fajita wraps are my go-to. Their seasonal soups never disappoint me. My favorite part is that they often have healthy/vegetarian options, which are hard to find elsewhere. Comparatively pricey though.

Great spot to enjoy a cup of coffee; good atmosphere, quality ingredients, friendly staff. Try the nitro brew. Also, be sure to grab a punch card.

Matcha latte and turkey pesto sandwich. The matcha was ok, not the best ive had—barely any matcha flavor, it was more just milk. And the pesto sandwich was good, pretty normal as other sandwiches from cafe shops

The Staff here is badass! Professional, knowledgeable, quick, kind and efficient. Coffee is locally roasted in WI and expertly ground to order and pulled/brewed for you. Beautiful, spacious and relaxing seating space. Good for conversation or studies/work. Love ECDC!

Just popped in for a quick stop on my way home. From what I saw it was a cozy atmosphere and had good lighting.
The barista was very sweet and helpful with my order. Ordered a cappuccino and it came out quick. Cappuccino had a really good flavor, good foam, and had the perfect temperature.
This is a place I would recommend to anyone who likes a good cup of coffee.

Because I can’t get a half star- it’s a 4 but almost 5. Snickerdoodle latte was amazing, the breakfast sandwich was fantastic, good music etc.! The only reason I’m subtracting a few was the bathroom that I tried was filthy and next to the alley. It had clearly been used to “use” based on the waste in the toilet that wouldn’t flush, the smell, and trash/rubbish all over the floor.

Amazing coffee, amazing dessert, amazing people! My vanilla latte had actual vanilla bean in it! My husband loved his pour over. The German chocolate cake we had was so good - lots of different textures inside. And they have free WiFi! We'll definitely be back!

Great coffee shop in downtown Eau Claire! Had a honey latte which was delicious. Wide variety of coffee drinks as well as pastries and other breakfast items. Highly recommended!

A friend recommend we stop here. Really great coffee shop and lovely atmosphere! A bit pricey, but a good treat every now and again. My favorite coffee is the a warm Scotchie. In addition, the macaroons are the best I’ve ever had! They are even better than some places in Paris.

Nice staff, solid coffee, lovely atmosphere. Have had a handful of mistakes made with our orders previously. Also just had the toughest bagel of my life, today. It was very very toasted and was sure a tooth would chip when biting into it. Yowza. The cream cheese couldn't even soften this rock. Was this several days old or just a poor recipe? Not sure, but I'll definitely hesitate to consider grabbing a bagel from here again.
Wow, legitimately this is awful. Just switched from 3 stars to 2.
