Just stopped in here over the weekend, and though it's on the smaller side compared to usual co-op…read moresize, it's big on quality, it's super clean, and has a super friendly staff! I got the best brewed coffee of the day there (impressive considering I stopped at two different coffee shops beforehand) and also purchased a package of pita chips and hummus that were made in Eau Claire-the pita chips were spectacular-the best I've ever had, and the hummus was good too. I opened the hummus pack last night with the idea of only eating a few, but couldn't stop myself until half of it was gone. So crispy, crunchy, yet airy and light.

First time ever finally decided to stop in to buy whole bean coffee and was told I needed to wear a…read moremask. Walked right out. Not going to support your agenda. Not sure how it's ok to refuse people who choose a different healthy lifestyle by not wearing a mask that literally does nothing. Seems a bit of a double standard. And when there are vaccines and mask restrictions are lifted. Go ahead and keep pedaling that progressive agenda.

Laid back vibe. The barista was friendly and knew many people coming in by name. Someone had…read moreordered a pickup and didn't come get it for close to an hour, so she called to check in and make sure the order-er was ok. I thought that showed a lovely sense of community and caring. Yummy drinks and bakery. I had the Ranger - a cinnamon white chocolate mocha - and it was fabulous! I don't like super hot drinks, and the temp was perfect for me. The peach scone was light, moist and not too sweet. Again, just how I like it. If I return to River Falls, I'll definitely stop here again.

Coffee as good as Portland (OR). No lie…read more Waystone is a feel good kind of coffee place - Women growers, Women store owners. Fortunately they were happy to serve me also. Fortunately, because the coffee is, god's own truth, better than I have had in Portland (and MSP, Madison, Chicago). Small store, with wifi and games, plus music in the background. The food is limited, but fine. Good even. But the coffee. Oh the coffee. Coffee that makes you say "where have you been all my life". Coffee that makes you repent of ever having to gone to Starbucks, Cariboo, Dunn Bros, Dunkin, etc. Turn away from the corporate chains of at best average coffee.

She took my order wrong and then instead of explaining to me why she made it that way nicely she told me they didn't have the thing and closed the window on me. I am not a confrontational person so I took my drinks and left, but I felt upset after and I don't think anyone should treat people like that, especially paying customers.

WORST. DONUTS. EVER. The "apple fritters" they advertise are nothing more than sweetrolls stuffed…read morewith a squirt of apple pie filling. Real fritters are fried, not baked, and have a sweet crispy crunch, not a soggy smush. The chocolate cake donuts are dry and tasteless, except for the bad taste they leave in your mouth. Didn't try anything else -- that was enough. Had high hopes, but ... yech.

What a fantastic place! Great ambience with a classy gastropub vibe. We visited early in the…read moreafternoon on a Sunday. My husband tried a beer flight while I had a margarita that was on tap. Their liquor list is HUGE--I was very impressed! If a person drinks alcohol, they are bound to find something on their extensive menu. The bartender was incredibly friendly as well. We ordered a pretzel to share, and it didn't take long to come out. It was piping hot, as was the cheese dip. The pretzel was soft and delicious, great with the cheese--though the dip was a bit runny, so we made certain to clean up any mess. I included a picture of the Girl Scout cookie pairing promo, though we didn't take part.

They were very small with only a couple of their own beers on tap. Fast forward to now and their space has more than doubled and they have 30 taps that are all of their own making. Only had the beers to drink here but the hard liquor selection is large and in charge. Very impressive looking bar. 16 choices on their food menu. I had the Chicken Bacon Ranch Kumpir tonight. Don't think I had ever had a Kumpir before. They are basically a Turkish loaded baked potato. Very good and very filling and reasonably priced. 4 stars and not 5 because I have not had any banger beers here. Decent to solid in that regard but nothing to write home about.

Also LOVED that they had some games at the table, we definitely took advantage of the UNO.

There is not a lot of parking outside but we were lucky enough to snag a spot. The social space is right there in the brewery, industrial in all its glory. Dogs are allowed and were there hanging out, behaving just fine. My husband ordered a beer flight as well as a chicken quesadilla from the separate Mexican food stand. Everything was great. As we are both from the Southwest, we can be, ahem, rather critical of Midwest takes on Mexican food, but the quesadilla was tasty and came with flavorful sauces. The brewery had a cooler with their beers in various formats, ready to go, and their menu also listed other non-beer options to drink.
