Acoustic Cafe Menomonie

Overall its a good cafe I was in menomonie for collage and this place was close to my dorm. The vibe is awesome.

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!

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.

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.

Liked the ambiance inside the cafe , very mystic types , parking here is tough ,, had to go in circles before finding a spot , service is quick , ordered cappuccino and it came in an orange mug with lots of foam in it , also ordered veggie sandwich and the bread was really soft , was served very hot , which was nice on a cold day

Inexpensive great tasting food. Healthy options and fantastic soups. Loved it & will be back

There’s a first and last time for everything and this was my first and last time at this establishment!
Purchased a LARGE CAPPUCCINO IN a 16oz cup but it wasn’t a 16oz cappuccino. It was about 8 oz of espresso and 6 oz of foam. The paper cup wasn’t even full! I tried to work it out with the local lackeys behind the counter but they insisted that it was a LARGE not their small, but they wouldn’t budge and were even snarky about it so I simply took a refund!
There’s something I think younger people of today just don’t get…they’re not ENTITLED to business or a profit! They actually have to give something of value to get something of value in return!

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.

Delicious coffee and scones. The cafe is a bit eclectic with classic rock playing. Lots of local art displayed and for sale. I'm a big fan of this kind of place. Plus the service was great. I would definitely recommend.

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.
