If I had a nickel for every time I went to two coffeehouses in one day, I wouldn't have that many…read moreactually. After having coffee at The Nostalgic Bean, Tim and I went exploring in Osseo. We visited a few places before deciding to drop into The Nickel Barn. I had seen the signs for it on the way to Eau Claire but wouldn't have imagined I'd end up there. Especially after already having coffee but I figured it was the one time I have to try it and it's my goal to try every coffeehouse in the world... so here we are. The Nickel Barn is literally in a barn. A big red barn. Upon walking inside, you get greeted with a large amount of antiques and a coffee counter in the back right with some ice cream and baked goods to boot. While I was there to try their coffee, I never not look around and this place has some truly unique antique pieces. Tim and I looked around for a bit before ordering coffee. Tim got some kind of refresher and I got my usual americano. We took our drinks to a sitting area where, to our surprise, they had some board games. We took some time to chill out, sip our drinks, and play a few different games. I liked one so much that I ended up buying it a few days later at a board game store in Oakwood Mall. The americano was good. Not super bitter like I typically like but more smooth and mellow. After having an americano a few hours before, it was probably best that I had something with less punch. Tim really liked his drink and wanted something non-caffeinated since he is usually only good for one coffee-type drink a day. Overall, The Nickel Barn was really cool Not a lot I would buy when it comes to antiques since that's not really my vibe but I can vouch for the coffee being really good. Plus, the barista was doing a really good job manning the front counter and the drive-thru window.

I'm already nostalgic for this place…read more A new day means a new morning to visit a coffeehouse. Tim actually suggested this place as he mentioned its something he's wanted to try for awhile. We hopped in the car and headed out. I wasn't sure what to expect from The Nostalgic Bean since I was going into this trip without much of a plan besides a few odds and ends. But what a surprise this place is. It's in a cute little building with some sweet snail art on the side. Inside is quaint and cozy. The staff was super friendly while we did some do-si-do with other patrons of the bakery. Inside is small and due to the layout, it can get a bit crowded if they are busy at all. Normally this is a hassle but something about this place makes it fun. I got my usual americano and a corn jalapeno quiche. With how busy it was, the food and coffee didn't take much time to come out and the staff, again, was super friendly and helpful. I wanted a specific t-shirt and while they didn't have it on their merch shelf, the young lady took the time to locate one in their back stock area. Keep your eye peeled for me wearing it in future reviews :). The americano was pretty good, just a bit below the bitter level I like but it made drinking it a breeze. The quiche was really good, too. I don't think I've ever had one before this and I ended up getting it the next day when we came back with Matt. The second time we came back, we had the same level of friendliness and same awesome deliciousness. All their baked goods looked amazing and both Tim and Matt were in love with the place, too. Tim dabbled in their baked goods but I don't remember all that he got. Matt got a coffee and a small thing to eat as well. The Nostalgic Bean has become a staple for us when we visit Eau Claire. I feel like we will hit it up every time we visit Tim because we all just fell in love with the place. Just look at their baked goods online and you'll understand just how sweet this place is.

They have a wonderful variety of baked goods and it was hard to choose which one to try because they all looked so yummy and mouth-watering! I ended up ordering the chocolate glazed filled donut and a plain glazed donut; both were 10/10. The doughnut was so fluffy and light and paired perfectly with a cup of coffee. It was bustling and loud inside with no seating but there is some outdoor seating. Definitely more of a grab-and-go spot. I'm not surprised it's such a popular place and I'd come back again in a heartbeat to try more treats!

I went away from the typical Apple Fritter to try something new and exciting! It intrigued me to see if they could pull off the Cherry flavor vs the Apple which basically everyone goes with. Unfortunately, they didn't. I could barely taste the cherry and the consistency of the doughnut was chewy. Points on grabbing my attention negative points for taste and texture. I knows there's potential in a lot of the other donuts they have, but I took a risk and went for just one. The place is nice and small and the service was great. Friendly staff that truly care about the donuts they put out. Next time I pop in, I'll definitely try some classics, but for now this will stay at a 3/5 for me
