Love this place and can't recommend highly enough!

First time here. I was in Chippewa Falls to see some family and found this place right next to the…read moreChophouse where we had dinner the night before. It's a nice spot, with a large windowed storefront and inviting signage. Inside is a large open area with the order counter toward the rear. An old brick wall, metal lighting fixtures, and a tin ceiling give it a vintage vibe. There are café tables with metal chairs for small groups. The noise level is reasonable, and it's easy to have a conversation. They have an extensive coffee menu, including tea lattes. But the one thing that really stood out was the bakery selection. They have items called Cornetto, which look like croissants. I was told they're similar and used in similar ways (fillings, glazes, etc.). We ended up getting a coffee, a London Fog Tea Latte (little lavender, little vanilla, extra foam), a Custard Danish, and an Apple Almond Scone. It didn't take long to get our order, and everything was amazingly good. The London Fog was made with loose-leaf tea and steeped well. The pastries were fresh, large, and very yummy. Everything was also very reasonably priced (you spend way more than this in most places -- and that's not something I usually fixate on). Excellent experience. Friendly service, excellent food and drinks, great value, and a warm atmosphere. If I could make one suggestion, it would be the metal chairs -- I just didn't find them very comfortable. Definitely on the "come back to" list!

The inside of the shop is cute and has a good amount of seating. The baristas were super friendly and helpful.

The blackberry cold foam on top was AMAZING! I couldn't stop thinking about it so we went back the next day and I got it again...still amazing! My boyfriend also enjoyed his pistachio cold brew.

The name kinda jumped out at me and the reviews were good and I was in for a ten hour drive for the day. I walked in and was greeted with a warm smile and asked what I liked, which is always a good sign. I ordered a cafe mocha breve ( blended) which was creamy, smooth and just the right amount of coffee and chocolate the only complaint was that I could they only offered a 16ounce. The barista was nice, the coffee was good, the vibes were good, but we have to discuss the scone. I am not sure what the thinking was behind the scone recipe but it was not good! In fact, I would venture to say that if probably the worst scone I've ever attempted to eat. The texture was kind of like cornmeal and flour with chocolate chips in it. The caramel drizzle couldn't even save this thing. Cool coffee shop, super nice staff, cool name, bad scone. You guys can do better, I know you can.

I came in on a Sunday morning and there was a little line of people ahead of me but it moved pretty quickly! Interior-wise, there isn't a ton of space for seating but luckily, there are plenty of tables/chairs at The Yard Container Park that's ~40 second walk from the bakery. I got the strawberry passionfruit cruffin, chocolate almond croissant, lavender vanilla shortbread, and a latte with sugar-free caramel. First off, I was very impressed with the variety of flavors that were displayed (i.e. passionfruit, rhubarb, cardamon, kimchi, etc.) All the baked goods I got were fantastic- especially the cruffin. I was initially hesitant to order it because I'm not a fan when the exterior doesn't have that flakey/crunchiness. But I'm glad I tried the one here because the texture was perfect. As for the filling, it was a good balance of sweet and tart. Same thing for the croissant. When I ate the cruffin, I already knew the croissant was about to hit- and it did. Perfectly flakey and had that beautiful crunchy exterior. They definitely didn't skimp on the chocolate/almond filling either! Personally, it was a little too much for me but that's just a me thing Last but not least, the lavender vanilla shortbread was wonderful. You can actually taste the lavender and they added a perfect amount of salt to bring the flavors out! Aside from the delightful pastries, the coffee was lovely and the staff were super friendly. Nostalgic Bean is definitely a Altoona gem!

The coffee here is absolutely divine, and if it wasn't so far from where I live, it would be my go-to for everything. I don't have a very large sweet-tooth, but wanted to give their turtle-frappucchino a try. To my delight, it was sweet without being over the top, like some mixed coffee drinks you get through drive-thrus. It wasn't full of whipped cream or drowning in chocolate and caramel, but everything was blended beautifully. I was so impressed, that I make sure to stop out any time I have to run to Woodman's for groceries.

Lots of seating available inside and they also had a drive thru. We didn't get food but our drinks were very good.

Would definitely go again but would try to look online first for drink descriptions to be a little more prepared!

We stopped by each morning of our weekend stay for some coffee and breakfast and were pleased with the quality of everything! We enjoyed some specialty hot coffees most mornings and I was particularly happy that there were milk alternatives including oat milk. The kids enjoyed a breakfast sandwich one day and bagels on the others and I enjoyed a chia pudding one morning too. It is worth noting that if you are seeking a hot breakfast such as a breakfast sandwich, you can only get that after 7am, which didn't work out so great for us. They were extremely strict about this too. (Even at 6:50, they wouldn't take an order as they said they could not prepare anything other than what was ready in the case until after 7.) Aside from that, it's a cute coffee shop with plenty of seating, located centrally in downtown Eau Claire, as the name implies!
