I posted up at one of the tables to take a call and get some work done. It worked well for me for an afternoon.

The prices were pretty high, but I enjoyed both items. The matcha wasn't very hot, but still tasted great. Such a cute spot to meet friends or get a change of scenery in Rochester!

These are a few things I tried: - pistachio cheesecake - highly recommend, pistachio flavor shines through - olive oil cake - not flavorful, dry, personally do not recommend - lemon cheesecake - delicious! Highly recommend - drink: Cinnamon Dolce Latte. This just tasted sweet to me and did not stand out. To be honest, it tasted like most sugary coffee drinks to me. Maybe I'm just not partial to that. Service: they had 2 people working and both were very friendly. Waited about 10 min for my drink. Lovely ambiance in a nicely decorated cafe.

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!

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!

My friend and I headed out to Kyiv to check it out after having coffee, to our surprise they actually serve coffee here as well, which would pair great with some of the desserts and pastries. They had 4 flavors of mousse cakes available; strawberry, mango, black current & raspberry. They also had a variety of cakes and such available as well. Honestly all of it looked really good. We decided to stick to trying the mouse cakes and got all 4 flavors. Staff were extremely nice and patient. They only have 1 table inside and a few outside (sidewalk patio). We sat inside and tried the cakes. First of all they look way too pretty and realistic to eat. The first bites we took were mostly the mousse we didn't even know they had fillings until we got the second one. The cakes are semi sweet which was perfect because we just had sugary coffee drinks. The fillings inside made them amazing, like I could eat these everyday! My fav was the raspberry and then the black currant but they were all good. I'm glad we got to check them out & we will be back again.
