I love the food and the ambiance. Service is not bad either. Place your order at the counter and wait. But while you wait look at all the artwork, signs, antiques, etc. read more

Good vibes, food came out fast. Hoagie is definitely the way to go. We got roast beef since they were out of turkey. Hoagie was good but didn't "wow" me either. My friend from Philly said that he'd prefer wawa. read more

Review Visit: November 13th, 2024 The sound of deliciousness. Tim hyped this place up during our chat at The Growler Guys and just in general texts about it being a pretty popular place. He said he's tried to come here before and if there's an event going on, the line will be out the door. That got me hyped to try it out and so we headed that way once we both woke up and were ready for food. When we arrived, it wasn't too busy. We had gotten there late enough to avoid both the breakfast crowd and the lunch crowd. Tim grabbed a large sweet roll... I mean cinnamon roll and a drink. I grabbed my usual ice americano and a pita sandwich. We grabbed a table and go to talking without me being half awake like the prior night. It took a bit for our food and coffee to come out since they were served together. When they brought my drink out, they brought me a hot americano instead of an iced one. That ended up being fine since my hands were freezing from the walk over from Tim's house. This was my first hot americano and it didn't taste any different than a normal drip coffee. But that was fine, overall, since it didn't taste bad. But once I dug into the pita, I was in heaven. I got the turkey one without mayo. Each bite was delightful. The pita bread itself was just what I love about them. I debated getting a second one but thought that we had a long day ahead and needed room for the rest of the days shenanigans. Tim said his drink (I forget what it was) was entirely too sweet. He thought he would be able to get through it but said it just kept that overbearing sweetness throughout. He finished it off and then decided to get either a French or Italian soda. He said that that was pretty tasty. This place gives me One World vibes. It's one of those artsy, accepting of everyone kind of place. It's a vibe I can't really explain but once you feel it, you'll get it. If I lived in Eau Claire, I would come in all the time for just the pita sandwiches. It was that dang good. Plus, their wifi password is a reference to Lord of the Rings. read more

The food? Fresh sandwiches, quick service. If you're here for the food alone, it delivers. The service, on the other hand, left a lot to be desired. We came in as a group of 10 and moved two tables so we could sit together. Rather than a polite conversation, we were greeted with a scolding from staff followed by a taped-up, handwritten sign placed behind us saying "Please do NOT move tables. Thanks," as if we were an exhibit on what NOT to do. Then, several staff acted visibly annoyed, tossing down food and muttering complaints within earshot. It's a strange psychological dynamic: expecting customers to follow unwritten rules, then resenting them when they can't read your mind. And talking about people behind their backs while still expecting their business? That's a bold move for a place that supposedly values community. Their reason? That their old wood floors might be damaged, ironic considering the floors already look like they've seen better decades. Great food, but the vibe soured the experience. If you're not a regular or if your group is bigger than four, prepare to feel like an inconvenience. read more

Stopped by here for lunch. We noticed they also had coffee! Loved the food and coffee. The cashier helping us was so thoughtful and kind! The ambiance is nice for a lunch on a weekday. It was probably the biggest and tastiest hoagies we've had. I'd definitely come back! read more

Walk in and order at the counter and choose a big old wooden booth to sit in! Helpful staff and a decent beer selection! I can't remember ever having beer cheese soup, but don't think I'll ever forget this one! Packed with flavor...I already want to come back just to have it again! read more

We enjoyed our sandwiches very much--they were a hit! The kids also ordered smoothies but they were unfortunately a miss.

This is it - the greatest hot Italian hoagie in the state of Minnesota. I live hours away, but I have to visit every time to get a hot half turkey hoagie with all the toppings! Dying to know what is in the delicious sprinkle/vinegar they use! Gorgeous shining wood location with beautiful natural light. read more

What a great place! Tucked in the streets of the downtown district, this place has a great cafe vibe. The menu offers only a few things, but their hoagies are amazing!! Highly recommend this place for a great hoagie, a coffee or just a place to hang out and get some work done. The service was fantastic and the barista was very friendly and helpful! Great find, make sure you stop in when you're in town, you won't regret it! read more

Love this place! I come in from out of town for work, and was here about a year ago. Nice vibe, friendly service and great coffee and food! I came twice today, americano and quiche for breakfast, and then back for lunch with corned beef and potato soup. Great place to warm up on a snowy day! read more

Always such amazing tasty sandwiches!! They are always super quick and get your food out within 10-15 minutes. They have such a great atmosphere whether it's for studying or just enjoying a meal! I cannot recommend enough! read more

I met a friend for my first time here at Acoustic Cafe. I ordered a coffee and a sandwich, the medium sandwich, however to my surprise I barely got any turkey on it at all!! It was shreds of turkey instead of slices!! SO DISSATISFIED!! Subway makes a better sandwich!! FIRST AND LAST TIME I WILL EAT HERE!!! Did not even equal to one full slice!! At these prices you would think that you'd get at the least, a few slices of meat!! read more

Acoustic cafe is the place to eat in Winona. Absolutely amazing sandwiches and soup that are homemade and fresh. Staff is super friendly and genuine. Stop here every time while in Winona. read more

Super cute cafe! I always try to visit when I'm in the area for the hummus pita and milkshake. The staff are also consistently very friendly. read more

Great place for lunch that feels fresh - highly recommend the tomato basil pita sandwich! Wish there was a separate line for pick-up when you call ahead but not worth removing a star for. Quaint place to people watch in the summer - sit outside on the sidewalk with your pooch & enjoy downtown. read more

Acoustic is my go to place downtown for a quick bite to eat and a relaxing place to get some work done. Plenty of seating and good customer service as well. Menu has lots of options and the food is always good. Highly recommend! read more

they played radiohead also the food and coffee was pretty good. servers were nice and i had quidk service nice ambiance and music read more

I will never go here again and neither should you!! Slow service although not busy. Many open tables but not cleaned off. When I asked them to clean a table the manager was defensive. She obviously didn't care if we had a clean table to eat our food on. This place has really turned into a dirty dive, staffed by unfriendly people and management who don't want to be bothered to do their job. read more

We recently went to Acoustic Cafe after our college tour at UW Eau Claire. In the words of my 17 year old daughter her sandwich "slapped"!! She had to ask for a mayo packet because they either forgot to put mayo on her sandwich or they just didn't put enough on it. I had a Caesar Salad which was very good. Service was excellent and fast. We will definitely go back. read more

Their food is so dang good! I love their hot sandwiches! The chili is hit or miss, depending upon if it is fresh or maybe turned on too high in the crockpot. read more

Not bad coffee, or ice cream but however it did take them 15 minutes to prepare my TO GO coffee. They took 5 other orders while i was waiting. read more

Waited over an hour for our food as they forgot about us and the food was mediocre at best. Wouldn't go bsck there.

One of the best sandwich places downtown! I stop in for lunch often and the food is consistent and I always leave happy! I also highly recommend their sugar cookies and Betty Bars... they are delish! read more

COVID protocol is not only on display (signs up, floors marked), but the staff are wearing their masks. The service was speedy and accurate. The Acoustic Cafe tables are spaced out sufficiently (more so in most cases) and they do have tables for two immediately outside where you can enjoy your to-go orders so there is outdoor seating (something Yelp does not call out when searching outdoor seating. read more

Absolutely love the Acoustic Cafe. The sandwiches are phenomenal and reasonably priced. I've been in West Central Wisconsin for twelve years now and this is the best gemstone I have found so far. read more

Just calling out random orders. Would make more sense to take a name so people ain't taking wrong orders.

Well, what can I say, I stop by the Acoustic Cafe about once a year when I'm in town-good coffee and food but bad service. There menu no longer lists standard sandwiches-it's pick your protein which aren't listed. There's no longer a daily 1/2 sandwich and soup special. It took 30 minutes to get a 1/3 sandwich, cup of Texas chili and coffee-the coffee came last. This is a coffee shop! If I want to build my own sandwich I'll go to Subway. I won't be back. read more

This is a great place! My college roommates always wanting to go here and subs are delicious :).

I was just here today. The service is great everybody seemed friendly but I didn't really like the food, it was kind of tasteless for me. Reminds me on subway, just they don't warm the sandwich in a oven but in a microwave which I am not a big fan of. read more

This place is awesome. I wish it were closer to where I live... but I always make sure to stop here when I'm in Eau Claire. The hoagies are great and there are tons of options and combinations. The bread is always soft and warm and the cheese is perfectly melted. These sandwiches are, of course, greatly complemented with a side of soup. Their broccoli cheese, beer cheese and chili are awesome. I'm not much of a coffee drinker but I always get a cup here. Their Americano coffee is good... with JUST sugar. That's saying something for someone that usually dumps five gallons of creamer into a sip of coffee. The atmosphere here is nice, too... very relaxing and cozy. And when you're done with your meal and craving something sweet, they have a great selection of ice cream. Their green tea variety is delicious. I love this place. I actually wish I could be there right now. read more

trash service, nachos were a joke. do not come here. overall shitty ass food. coffee was gas tho.

Good vegan options. Great atmosphere great food! I liked the pita sandwich, tropical smoothie, and black bean chili soup as a vegan.

I love Acoustic Cafe ever since I was in High School this was my go to stop downtown the service is always good the food is yum and they have a good variety of ice cream and baked goods there coffee is so yum. I have literally been getting the Same Hoagie every time I go and that is the 1/2 Combo Hoagie with a cup of soup which I typically get here cheese when its avail. For a great price of $8.68. I highly reccomend if u get the hoagie and soup get the 1/2 or 1/3 cause they are huge sandwiches. read more

I had the worst experience here. First off, all the side streets in downtown EC are closed leaving nowhere to park. Second, I went here as they are close to work and I needed to take a quick lunch break. I go in and they are pretty well dead. I order and sit there waiting. It took 20 minutes for my order!! With nobody in front of me! I sat and watched the workers sit and joke around and take their sweet time. It was ridiculous. I watch the girl wrap my sandwich for a full minute! Seriously?! Note to workers, dont act like you have nothing to hurry for when it is the noon hour. Other people are on time constraints and simply dont have time to watch you make oragami while wrapping a sandwich!! read more
