The phone system needs to be repaired or replaced due to if you call they can't hear you and you can't really hear them also. The reason I know they don't work is I called them after I was overcharged. It was not a lot it was for 6.00 dollars but that is not the point. I had a really difficult time trying to work out the issue with the man on the phone and after he understood what happened he said " I can't do anything for you I just work here". The person on the phone then gave me the owners number, I called and left a message with no response. I called back a couple hours later and left a voicemail still no response. Again it's not the money amount, it's being passed off or ignored that bothers me the most. I will not say don't go there because I think you really need to see this place and all the amazing items. They need to make the phones work, one it's not safe if somebody got hurt and had to call medical attention the land line is useless. If they have a cellphone that works there then this situation should have never happened.

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.

My son was determined to find crystals at the beach for me as I'm a huge crystal lover but he didn't find any lol and was bummed so I looked out of curiosity to see if BRF had any crystal places. I didn't think there would be any nearby so I was shocked to find this place. Being it was almost 5 (closing time for today) we jumped out of the lake and packed up. I was thinking since it's an antique store there would be hardly any crystals so I was so excited to see they had a HUGE selection of crystals from all different price points. Whether you're huge into crystals or just like them because they are pretty you have to stop here. Beautiful selection of wonderful crystals. My son and I each found 2 we love and we are so happy. Even if you're not a crystal lover this store is a must stop as they do have a bunch of fun antiques that make you reminisce about your childhood (I'm not that old LOL) or remind you of your grandparents. Fun store and we will be back next year during our annual jellystone trip!! Also, the bald bearded guy was SO nice. So patient and so friendly. Definitely a small town feel.

Definitely worth stopping for a look.
