    Size of spoon to beget comparison.

    Usually the do pretty good here but I just got some soup and a French beget and the soup was just about all chicken broth and the beget is tiny. I mean come on for 14$ I should at least get noodles in my chicken noodle soup.

    Mmm , bakery

    Coffee Quality - Better than your average, but not the best. It's ok. Free Refills Vibe - Corporate, standalone. Free Wif-fi. It's meh. Food - Better than your average coffee shop, ahead of starbucks. Good baked goods. Staff - Generally good. I would say generally the coffee is not as good as Starbucks/Caribou/Dunn Bros chains, but free refills plus better food options puts it just ahead.

    One of my favorite places to come for comfort food is Panera. The mac and cheese is incredible, when served hot (which it was super hot in today's experience, but In some past recent visits it's been just slightly warm and chunky looking. In another experience my boyfriends grilled cheese was not melted at all, and his soup was watery and cold.) I've given the eau claire location so much service and tonight drove me over the edge with the overall experience. My boyfriend and I weren't even acknowledged we we stepped up to the counter. We actually thought they were closing the kitchen. Ordering was no problem. Go to sit down and every table is either crumby or wet. It looked like they hadn't cleared out the dirty dish station all day. Both were filled to the brim. When we were almost done, I grabbed my bowl and it was covered in old hard soup or something. I will not be coming back.

    Good food choices, prepared on the spot, love the Cuban-style panini sandwiches. Coffee and pastries are a plus.

    What happened to your Baguettes Panera? They taste like plain white bread - worse, Wonder bread

    Found this place on Yelp. We usually stop off for lunch around Eau Claire so was happy to see a…read morehealthy option. This little coffee shop is located inside a clinic. The food is delicious and we look forward to making this our new stop off while traveling north. Also, when leaving the restaurant you can go over the bridge and get gas at Woodmans-cheap. My husband kept raving about his Asian chicken salad. I ordered a cup of lentil soup which was more of a bowl for me and it was flavorful. I had tabouli which was not what I was expecting. I was expecting more of a grain mixture with herbs but what I got was basically a bowl of chipped parsley sprinkled with a grain. But, it was tasty. I don't know if I would order again unless I was really cutting calories...lol. I took a dessert to go. It was a custard/coconut type and I loved it! They advertised hand pressed lemonade on their specials board but when I went to order I was told that they didn't have any. Also, on the menu when I ordered my tabouli, on the menu it stated it came with flat bread. I went back to the counter to inquire about the flatbread I was told no, it doesn't come with the tabouli. I pointed it out on the menu and she proceeded to cross it off telling me it shouldn't be there. These two little things that happened were a turn off but not enough to stop me from going back. But if there are more of these types of bad customer service happenings I will exit and not return.

    Really tasty food and good portions didn't slack on protein either.. coffee was unique and loved…read morethe lavender cookie

    TLDR: creative cocktail and good menu with a Wisconsin twist…read more I brought my group of 8 family and friends here and everyone loved what they ordered! The menu features a lot of local Wisconsin produce and Wisconsin favorites with a twist, like Baked Cheese Curds (the tomato jam is SO GOOD) and Portobello Poppers with a wild rice and cheddar filling (it was so tasty I couldn't believe it was vegetarian!). Everyone really liked the Chicken Fried Rabbit (obviously, not our veg friend lol). The buttermilk-brined rabbit leg was so juicy and tender. The red cabbage slaw on the side was a perfect pairing. The Candied Pork Belly just melted in my mouth, no joke! And I love that it was seasoned with hoisin sauce and came with some baba ghanoush, which you'd think wouldn't go together--but it so does. For my main, I had the Grilled Ribeye and my bf had the Roasted Lamb. Both were cooked to perfection (medium rare) and both were phenomenal! The chimichurri on the side had some sweet kick to it but the steak didn't even need it bc it was plenty flavorful and tasty. The lamb was so tender and the mint gelee was *chef's kiss*. The Great Lakes Walleye was served on a nice tomato confit brodo and my bf's parents absolutely loved how imaginative it was. We all thought it'd just come out with a side of potatoes or something but the presentation blew us away AND they said it was very lovely. The kids loved their How 'Bout Them Apples pizza, which wouldn't have been my first choice (apples on pizza?!) but it did look tasty! For drinks, I ordered the Seamus (which is basically an old fashioned with Irish whiskey) and my partner ordered the Watermelon Mojito. I couldn't believe he liked the Seamus bc he usually hates old fashioneds but tbf it was a very well balanced cocktail! His Watermelon Mojito was refreshing and yummy (but a little too sweet for me). My bf and our friend both loved it tho! We'll definitely be back again the next time we pass thru Eau Claire!!

    Huge thanks to the staff at The Informalist for accommodating a large group with short notice a few…read moreweeks back during our visit to Eau Claire. I think we had approximately 20 people and a couple joined last minute. I know this is not ideal for servers, but it worked out well and again, we so appreciate it! The Informalist was super convenient since many of us were staying at the Lismore Hotel. Since this restaurant is located in the lobby, it was just super easy and the menu has something for everyone. We ordered from both the pizza and regular dinner menu and many of us shared a bit of everything! The truffle fries may have been the biggest hit of all, so don't miss out on those! Pizza is fabulous too. We saw elote fries, a burger, caesar salad, steak and so many other things at our table. My favorite pizza was the Yellow Jacket, which includes red sauce, mozzarella, cheddar cheese, pepperoni, and spicy honey. My least favorite item was the salmon crudo, but the salmon entree was not bad. Ambiance is hip and trendy and feels a bit fancy, but we were all dressed casually. Interesting due to the name of the restaurant, but it works! If back in the area, I'd absolutely return. Enjoy!
