The ice cream (which they make themselves) was okay. Nothing to really write home about. It was relatively expensive, and probably not worth the price. Also the service was not to great. The selection of homemade candy and popcorn was very large. I did not try it though. Overall it wasn't bad, but not really worth my time. That does not mean it's like that now, though.

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.

If I lived in Wisconsin, I would really consider this shop for buying a butchered hall/full cow (Angus) or half/ full pig. The animals are raised by local families. Including the shop owners. The Blair Meat Market onsite butcher facilities are inspected daily by USDA. The shop is just neat. Some of their meat cuts are available in the cold case for purchase. I personally think the prices are fair for the quality of meat products available. They sell their own flavored beef sticks and summer sausages, with plenty of yummy samples available. I think I liked the Dill Pickle and Sweet Teriyaki BBQ flavored sticks the best. We were going to a softball game afterwards. A packet of the meat sticks is an excellent game snack for eating and sharing. A local man makes very nice cutting boards and cooking woodies, and they can be bought at the meat market. I bought several. Maybe they will become gifts. Maybe I'll selfishly keep them. Make a trip to this store, or call to place your big meat order. Very worthwhile!
