ECDC - Eau Claire Downtown Coffee

Ordered two quad lattes. Watched the barista pull two double shots then split a shot with a double spouted portafilter. After I saw him did that, I kindly reminded him that I ordered two quads not triples. He looked at me confused, doubled back to the register lady and she told me she only charged me for three shots. I don’t know how anyone could confuse the word “quad” for triple. She also had a very passive aggressive tone when I just simply asked if I could have the quad I asked for. Hospitality is shot, coffee was okay at best. Definitely lots of channeling going on so a mix of under and over extraction going on in the cup.

Probably one of the worst coffees I’ve ever had in my life but if you like half full coffees and watery espresso this is the place for you. Staff was kinda cold and unfriendly (the lady who took our order) the donuts were okay. Note this isn’t the first time I’ve had a coffee that’s half full. I hope staff can get some guidance to improve.

I like the place and the location. Staff seemed nice enough. It's clean and decorated nicely and has a good food/drink selection. But.....$5 for a 10 oz flat white? You've got to be kidding me. The cup was so light when I picked it up I had to open it to see how filled it was. Only about 2/3 full, so I guess it was more like $5 for approximately 7 oz of a flat white. I know times are tough and inflation is high, but drip coffee going for $3/$4/$5 (S/M/L) and $5 for this flat white. Yeah, I'll go elsewhere, thanks.

Friendly staff, large variety of high end coffee, teas and bakery items. The shop is located in the same building as the hotel.

To be honest, our first visit he wasn't pleasant. The person behind th counter was very rud and abrupt with us. I don't get coffee much and don't know what all the options are and the lady wasn't any help. But the coffee my wife picked out for me was good.

After a long while we tried it again and we where very happy. Both with the service and our drinks. We'll gladly return.

The coffee shop is inside of the Lismore hotel but it feels like it's own entity. Staff was very friendly and the peanut butter oatmeal with the blueberry topping was really good. I noticed that they have a lot of vegan food so if you're vegan this might be a good place to go. I had four cups of their coffee during my Two day stay. My third cup had an inordinate amount of grounds in the bottom, but that seem to be anomalous. Overall I'm satisfied with my experience.

I am not usually one to give poor reviews. However, here I am giving one. I had relatively high hopes going into this place as my first college café, but I was really disappointed. The prices are extremely high. I ended up paying $8 for a pretty small smoothie called the Elvis which was bitter, chunky, and definitely not good. I ended up not even finishing half of it which is sad because it was expensive and I hate to waste food. I went there to meet with some friends and there was very little seating. What was there was spaced so awkwardly that carrying on a conversation was difficult. We still had a fine time, but I'm not planning to ever go back. Plus the whole place seemed very uppity - which I guess I should have expected since it is technically run by a fancy hotel. One plus side I guess was that they offered a 10% discount to students.

Great coffee but outrageous prices. $12 for a DRIP coffee and a muffin? Haha, this isn’t San Francisco or NYC. Good spot if you’re staying at hotel I guess, but hard to recommend to EC locals unless you’re rich.

Would highly NOT recommend the "homeade" biscuits and gravy. Its a measly bowl of grease with sausage in it. The biscuits are just 2 small bite size biscuits. All for $11. Very much so disappointing.

I really enjoyed this place, came here for a cup of tea and study for an exam. Theres a little fireplace and comfortable seating along with several larger tables. Good environment to study and just hang out.
