Raw Deal

This place is Menomonie's living room. Cozy, airy, great place to host events.

Olivia at the raw deal helped to make our event, my sister's bridal shower, absolutely perfect! Her attention to detail and willingness to assist with whatever we needed made the day stress free. The loft space was a perfect venue and the muffins were AMAZING! I would highly recommend The Raw Deal for any special event.

Great place to meet freinds or get excelent coffee!

This Place Rocks!! I am just so shocked how far this little divish coffee shop (it always had amazing coffee and the space had mad potential)Went from a 3 to a 9 in 6 years.
I'm very impressed with EVERYTHING!! The employees are phenomenal Today Sarah served me.. One of the Very best Barista/JuiceMaster I've ever experienced. The Juice is Amazing. The pastries all look entirely too delicious in their many.. Coffee Incredible. The menu has So many choices and I think I found my place.. Tell me who has 4 different flavors of Kombucha on tap with the fantastic flavor combos this place does? Hungry?? No problem these magicians will whip it up for you. Seating is plentiful. They have a balcony with seating also a bar and other chairs and tables that's incredible as well.. I seriously could go on forever About this Place. They are doing something Right Obviously. OH DID I MENTION ORGANIC ABOUT 99% OF THEIR PRODUCTS HAPPEN TO FALL UNDER THAT CATEGORY.
And not to leave our Vegan Friends out, they offer enticing choices that will definitely scratch the itch in your brain when you just gotta have Something Yummy.. Oh yeah Beer and IceCream too.. This Place has a great vibe that is definitely a staple to this Awful Town. Raw Deal is the only reason I like Menomonie..

Great Coffee! They roast fair-trade beans fresh right there in the front window of the shop. Probably up there in the best drip coffee I have ever had. They sell their beans in the shop and at co-ops in Menomonie & Eau Claire. Really good cold-press too, my wife and I always keep some of their concentrate on-hand.

The Raw Deal is one of the best places you can go for coffee, music, and atmosphere. Great for meeting up, hanging out, or getting work done. It is the most “menomonie” place I know of, so if you’re looking for something unique in town, Raw Deal is your place.

Cute place! Atmosphere is relaxing and lots of space. Good place to meet a friend for coffee or to work on things. They have a variety of choices for drinks and some bakery items.

I wanted to love this place, truly- I am a vegetarian, however there is a lot of room for improvement. I wanted to eat and have a glass of rose after seeing it on their Instagram story. Since the sandwiches were not made order, I looked through the sandwiches and found one that looked good, however all of the other selections with avocado were all brown so I got one without avocado. Since the sandwich was made on a bagel and it was cold, it was very tough and difficult to eat on top of having several thick slices of hard raw beets on it. Also, had I not asked for rose I would have never known they had it because it wasn't on any menu. I suggest having the food made to order and more bread options! It would be so awesome then! For 14$ though, I was hoping for a bit more enjoyment.

I have been to coffee houses all over the world. Seriously hundreds - Germany, Finland, Croatia, Italy, Sweden, Costa Rica, etc. The Raw Deal stacks up nicely. The staff is impeccably friendly and helpful, the ambiance is unparalleled in its uniqueness, the coffee is quite good and they serve superb beer.

You can get to the Raw Deal in the morning and start with coffee. Then when Jay Collins or Chris Freeman comes, you can always switch over to locally crafted beer. Just remember to drink some water once in a while.

Honestly, I always felt more at home there than I ever did in my work environment at Stout. Hail and praise to the Raw Deal.

The Raw Deal cares about food justice and community involment. Local bands play every week. The baked goods are made from scratch and have gluten free options. They donate their compost to the university garden. The atmosphere is great for meeting with friends or doing homework.
