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!

I would like to say that I come here alot and have always loved the food and had great service, but this visit was different. We ordered our sandwiches to go so maybe the was the issue? We ordered 3 sandwiches and they took an incredibly long time to be ready especially since we were the only ones who had ordered. The person who took our order was not friendly either. As they were making our sandwiches they were also complaining about how they didn't want to be at work. Usually I'd give acoustic 5/5 stars, the food is amazing but the atmosphere today was off.

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.

What sets Whirlybird apart is their genuine care for customers. It's rare to find a place that makes you feel as valued and appreciated as they do here. Their dedication to mental health awareness shines through in every interaction. Personally, I visit weekly, not just for the great coffee and treats, but for the warm, welcoming atmosphere they create for everyone who walks through their doors. In a valley full of great spots, Whirlybird stands out for their kindness - a true badge of honor. It's the little things that count, and they excel at making each visit a memorable experience. Excited to see location #2 in all its glory on River Street when it opens in Fall 2024. A heart felt congratulations to everyone that makes Whirlybird the best place to be!!! Keep up everything you do and don't change a thing.

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.
