I tried the Heath Bar coffee and a combo whole hoagie, which was enough for both me and my husband so very generous portions. The bread was hot and fresh (housemade!) and not soggy from the meat and sauce. While I did enjoy the Heath Bar coffee, it was definitely on the sweeter side. I'd ask for another shot of espresso next time to balance it out or ask for less sweet. Delicious hoagies and great service. I had a great time catching up with my friends here and I'd love to come back again to enjoy their live music!

Their brewed coffee is smooth, less acidic, medium bodied w delightful berry & caramel tastes. I am impressed. The latte is okay - I think the only thing is that the milk temperature is too hot (steam time too long) so the drink lost the natural sweetness and the silky texture from the milk a bit. The lemon bar is creamy and yummy, perfect to eat w the coffee. We will definitely return next time when we are back in Eau Claire!

It was made properly and tasted pretty good. (I tried it). The deep fried pickles my grandson got as a side were burnt. Really they should have never left the kitchen . I had the bleu cheese burger. Not good. The burger was overcooked and the bleu cheese was some runny bleu cheese "dressing ". The fries were ok. Our waitress was nice enough but I am not sure she had ever waited on a table before. She didn't know the specials, we had to ask for tableware, and also for refills on our beverages. When it came time to pay we had to seek her out. It used to be decorated kind if cue with various humorous sayings on the wall, a handwritten white board menu and no tv. They also had a no cellphone policy. The small town cafe ambiance is gone. That's too bad. We probably won't go back.

The inside of the shop is cute and has a good amount of seating. The baristas were super friendly and helpful. My boyfriend and I both got a drink off their summer special menu; honey bear latte and trail mix cold brew. I was legit blown away by the honey bear latte. 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. You definitely need to stop here for your coffee fix.

Scatterbrain has lots of exterior parking and loads of history in the preserved building which previously operated as a general store. I thought for sure this would be an order at the counter type spot and was pleasantly surprised to learn there is a full serving staff and onsite roasting of coffee beans. Both breakfast and lunch is offered here along with a massive espresso coffee and non coffee drink menu including house made syrups. I enjoy the big variety and uniqueness of every item including the fresh baked goods like monkey bread, pickle salad, in house syrups and ice cream. Bonus: check out the interior gift items from earrings to coffee beans to apparel along with the hidden library nook which is great for kiddos and contains a lovely scrap book outlining the history and remodel of the space.

The most surprising thing about my relationship with Cafe Steam is that we've actually reached a…read morestage of mutual understanding where the staff knows exactly which level of 'morning zombie' I am based on how loudly I trip over the doorframe. I have a bit of a love affair with this place. Now, I'm a certified early bird, and by that, I mean I'm usually awake and craving caffeine while the rest of the world is still debating if they actually need to attend that 9:00 AM Zoom call. There is something genuinely therapeutic about being there right as they flip the sign to 'Open,' when the air still smells like freshly ground beans and the sunlight is hitting the dust motes in that perfect, cinematic way. It's the quietest the place ever gets, and I get to witness the staff transitioning from 'sleepy' to 'caffeinated chaos' in real-time. However, I'm also a fan of the 'closing time' vibe. There's a completely different magic to sliding into a booth around 7:00 PM. By then, the energy has shifted from a productive buzz to a sort of cozy, exhausted collective sigh. I'll just camp out for a while, pretending to be very focused on my laptop while actually just people-watching the evening rush. The ambiance is wonderfully casual--think 'industrial chic meets a living room that's slightly too small for its furniture.' Most of the time it's just a pleasant hum, but every so often it hits a tipping point and becomes absolutely hectic. You've got the frantic students cramming for finals, the first-date nerves radiating off a couple in the corner, and a line of people stretching toward the door. It's a beautiful kind of mayhem, really. But let's talk about the real star of the show: the drinks. While I usually rotate through the classics, I am currently in a committed relationship with their seasonal 'Miss Sunshine' creamy lemonade. It sounds like something a toddler would order at a fancy tea party, but trust me, it's a game-changer. It's got this bright, zesty punch of citrus that wakes up your entire soul, but then it's smoothed over with this velvety, creamy finish that makes it feel like a dessert. It's basically a hug in a plastic cup, and I'm fully prepared to be devastated when it leaves the seasonal menu. I will add photo's *later* : )

Always amazing:)…read more Cafe Steam was an essential spot growing up in Rochester. They tie together community with amazing coffees and goodies! I'm so happy to see them expanding and opening new locations as well. I grabbed a summer special drink, and quite enjoyed it! I wish I added a touch more simple syrup, otherwise this was a delightful and bright summer drink! The interior is always cozy, and consistently one of the best spots in Rochester. The baristas are always kind, and make drinks SUPER quick!
