The Nucleus

A unique establishment in a cute part of town. We were seated quickly, and the staff was very friendly. The service was good, albeit quite slow. The hostess did let us know in advance that it would be about a 30 minute wait; we appreciated the heads up.
The food was pretty good overall. We had the Omega Scrambler and the Bagel Sandwich. The former was essentially a salmon and avocado omelette, which I enjoyed, although it was a bit weird to have the avocado cooked into the omelette (it was therefore warm and mushy). I would have preferred it cold and on the side. The latter was also good, but nothing outstanding. We also added the Lionized hash browns, which complemented the meal nicely.
The prices were quite reasonable, especially considering that tip is essentially included (there is a sign that says you don’t have to tip extra).
Our waitress, Paige, was very friendly and gregarious!

Great spot with a quirky sprawling layout. Friendly staff & delicious options. Hubby had the crepes and added parmesan hash browns and some scrambled eggs. I had the pulled pork sandwich. Both were amazing!!

Definitely a must have in Eau Claire. The strawberry Nutella crepes were phenomenal. It was definitely busy at 10:30am on a Sunday; we had to wait about 20 minutes to be seated and then another 45 for our food. There was tons of entertainment in the back waiting area like books, magazines, and a painted turtle named Earl! The prices are a little steep but they automatically add in gratuity. My group still all tipped about 10% each.

Highly recommended! Nucleus is a must go. We had brunch on a week day, got seated right away. The service was warm and inviting. Super friendly staff. The food was delicious!!!! I will definitely go back. The portions are nice and big.

This place is an amazing gem! The staff is perfectly attentive and friendly, the food is amazing and the prices are perfectly reasonable for the generous portions. Plus, the staff is well-paid, making tips completely not necessary (but feel free to - they'll split it evenly).

I’ve lived in Eau Claire for three years and tried this restaurant for the first time. I have heard nothing but good things, and let me say it didn’t disappoint! The food was AMAZING and the staff was incredibly friendly. I will definitely be returning soon.

Excellent food with plenty of unique flavor combinations. Both vegetarian and vegan options. Great place for brunch with friends and family.

I Never, I mean NEVER give five stars. I am speechless...went to the Nucleus for the first time today. Based off of brunch recommendations on a foodie site, we went. An hour and 20 min wait...and I never like to wait. I found out why this is a hopping joint. It was soooo worth the wait!!

I ordered EL Presidente and hubby had a bacon and feta omelette and a mimosa. The prices were great for the quality of the food. I had ton left over which will be my breakfast for tomorrow. I’m soooo sold on this place . A tru gem in this area. Nommm nommm! 🤟

Wow! Fantastic fun food and a very trendy atmosphere! We had the Yeti platter, Lemon crepe, and two Americano style coffees. Split the breakfast entrees between us and thoroughly enjoyed them. We will be repeat customers.
This place is popular so you may need to wait for seating, but the wait isn't long. Regardless of wait time, it's worth it!

Wonderful place in Eau Claire for breakfast! Our server was very friendly and gave us great recommendations, which made for a killer breakfast! The cold press coffee was amazing, hash browns were cooked perfectly, and the omelet I had was incredible. They substituted goat cheese for me, and it really worked well with the bacon, basil and tomatoes. Will definitely come back here next time I'm in Chippewa Falls / Eau Claire!
