So fresh. I will crave this. Can't go wrong between hoagie and pita. Salami was my move.

Came here on a Saturday morning right when they opened. There were only 2 other people in there and we ordered first. 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. read more

I'm obsessed with this place! What a cute and warm cafe with such a chill ambiance. I loved the charming and rustic decor; the psychedelic art was what caught my eye. 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! read more

Quaint cafe serving coffee and delicious lunch. Atmosphere was rustic, with local elderly folks playing card games in the back area and younger ones finishing up lunch and meetings when we got in at around 2. Servers were friendly (one more than the other) and super accommodating. Food was awesome. I didn't expect much, but the hoagie was yum, the pita was absolutely mouthwatering, and the cup of chili was one of the best I've had. I was happy cuz the chili had very little beans, and a popping flavor. Just what I needed. Walk around the back outside and you get to a park and a nice view of the Mississippi River. Except for all the construction going on out front, this was a perfect little stop. read more

Was in town to visit the Marine Art Museum and stopped here for a quick lunch before heading home. Space is nice, and the staff were exceptionally friendly. I had the soup (white chicken chili) and the 1/3 hoagie (vegetarian) special. The chili was very good, the hoagie was just okay - sorta flavorless. But the bread was very good. I polished everything off, and had room for a peanut butter cookie on the way out. I'd stop in again! read more

Ambiance was nice and cozy. Limited options for vegetarians. Pita pockets with hummus were atleast filled very full :), but I found the Garlic Hummus one was a little bland. Service was good despite being quite busy. read more

From when I was in college till every time I pass through or visit to this day ... I MUST go to the Acoustic Cafe! I dream of their pita pocket hummus sandwiches, the mocha, and the beautiful atmosphere. The people are always fantastic who work there and are super friendly. Sometimes there is live music. I spent many days studying or just with friends there. I still go back because it's such an incredible place. I always recommend it to people. read more

Was in town and needed an afternoon pick me up, so stopped in this adorable and cozy coffee shop in downtown Winona. So happy I stopped here because the service was friendly and fast and I loved my cup of coffee! From the outside, it looks small but upon walking in, it's much bigger with plenty of booths and tables to enjoy a meal or a cup of tea or coffee. I didn't get any food but the sandwiches and pastries looked good. It's a great place to come whether it's to catch up with friends, play one of the games they have or work! read more

Parking is good across the street. There's a lot. The pita was super good and customizable. I got a turkey pita and an iced almond joy latte. The place had a super cute theme as well. My drink was initially delivered hot instead of iced and they were kind and remade it. read more

Amazing food, great atmosphere. We will be back! I had the half sandwich and soup. the sandwich portions are large. The bread was warm and fresh. The soup was yummy too read more

Tasty sandwiches and good soups. Service is friendly and quick. Food is reasonably priced and fresh. This is a great place to grab some lunch! For those who like Bo Diddley's in St. Cloud/St. Joseph, Acoustic Cafe will not disappoint! read more

Stopped here on a Monday afternoon for lunch, seemed like one of few places in town open today. But so glad I did! Greeted with a smile and good service. Ambiance was chill, some people here studying and others here for a coffee, some here for a sandwich, like us. This place has great hoagies and soup. My boyfriend ordered the 1/2 ham hoagie with chicken soup and I ordered the 1/2 turkey hoagie with tomato soup. read more

How this place is only rated 4.2 stars is crazy. It's a solid 5! Best hoagie ever, be sure to try the soup of the day, charming ambiance and authentically nice people. We'll definitely be back. read more

Most delicious sandwich I've had in a long time. Chili was good, too. Coffee was excellent! Outstanding service.

Came back to town 20 years after going to school here. I always remember when my family would come to visit we'd go to Acoustic Cafe. Imagine my surprise, this place is still here and it's exactly as I remember! My husband and I only stopped in for a snack - the Italian sodas and chili were so good! Service is prompt and friendly, and the ambiance of this place is just perfect. I won't wait around 20 years to come back again. read more

Service is a pinnacle here at The Acoustic Cafe. Walking into the door, one is transported to a place of ease, comfort, and warmth. Hot Hoagies, coffee, soups, salads, and many more delightfully decadent dishes adorn the menu in gastronomic heaven. Lattes are like a pillowy cloud upon which ones tastebuds ride, the espresso is strong and energizing not unlike a shot of adrenaline which gets one moving. The waitresses and staff smile, laugh, and are very helpful when matters arise. We bought the Greek salad, a delicious addition to the butternut squash soup that so heartily warmed our souls. I purchased a caffé latte and got shots of marshmallow, coconut, and strawberry in it, which was like riding a tropical wave to nirvana. Surfing said wave is easy, decadent, and rich with flavor. This business is a must see for anyone wanting to experience local life at its best. A normal hole in the wall for the local college students, hangout for teens, and energy fills the place with life and good vibes. Local art also fills the walls with a taste of culture that you can't get anywhere else. Older folks will enjoy this place and shouldn't be discouraged from coming here. This is definitely a cool, niche place to hang and let loose. Will definitely be coming back again! read more

Hoagies were straight heat no cap. Good spot for a sandwich or coffee for real on god

Their soup and sandwiches are the best in town. Definitely worth going. Very nice restaurant. Love that atmosphere

Good place to get a half hoagie and cup of soup for lunch!

I love Acoustic Cafes, the hoagies are so good and I love the vibe that it maintains. Great for studying or grabbing a quick bite with some friends! read more

Best Hoagie I've ever had. This place attracts business people, students, family and more. They have delicious coffee, bakery goods, sandwiches, and soup. During weekends, they do have live music. Here are tips: Service: Friendly Parking: They have limited parking space during busy hours but they are free. You should not have hard time to find a parking space during week days. It is worthy driving there to dine. I recommend a hot hoagie and soup combo. read more

This place was great. I was in town for a few days-usually I like to try out different local places, but this place made me return a second time! Had lunch here twice-their hoagies were just so simply good. Winona didn't seem to have a lot of quality food options, and out of every where that I went this was definitely my favorite. They definitely get busy during lunch hour but work their tails off. Definitely recommend. read more

Ok... not sure what the hold up is for their limited menu, but it took FOREVER to get two half sandwiches and soups on Sunday afternoon. Yes, they were very busy, but for a place that has less items than a Subway, it took 40 minutes to get our meals. (Others we're getting their food before us, and their wait was only 10 minutes.) The staff was great. They were very nice and patient as I'd never been before. The food was very good and I'd get it again in a heartbeat. But I'd come having just had snacks because the wait was too long. read more

If you love Bo Diddly's in St. Joe, MN, like me (Johnnie alumnus), you'll love this place. Have a sandwich with banana peppers and make sure to try the Guac. read more

It seems that they have changed the recipes of things. The beer cheese soup wasn't as good as it used to be. French sodas have changed too. Sad, because this used to be a great place with great food. Now the food is questionable. read more

What a nice relaxing place. I was a single but feel completely comfortable just enjoying my food and the music. Had the California medley soup (delicious) and a 1/3 hoagie. The hoagie was warm and the bread was warm. So Good! To bad I am only in town for one day or this place would be a favorite. Going to go get a cookie or scone to go. read more

The Acoustic Cafe - Found this place literally by accident. So glad I stopped. Soup was awesome sandwich was warm. Just get a dessert to go. - Sandwiches Near Me - Winona, Minnesota

Great place with a welcoming environment and good food. I wasn't a fan of their coffee but I really do enjoy coming here from time to time.

My family loves Acoustic and brings anyone new to Winona here to try this little coffee and sandwich cafe. I've been here a few times with them and I brought my parents here when they came up for my wedding. For my birthday, Acoustic even gave me a free meal, so I'm gonna be really biased. Don't be turned off by the price of their whole sandwiches. On the chalkboard, the price of a whole sandwich is more than $10, but I don't think I've ever seen someone order one. Most people get the 1/3 or 1/2 with a soup and are more than filled up by the meal. Their whole sandwiches would probably be big enough for two people. My guess is that it would be worth the price too (not only for the size) because their ingredients are really fresh and high quality. I really like the shredded lettuce, when it is warmed up in their sandwich press, it just has an amazing taste. I've had a few things on the menu and I've enjoyed them all. My in-laws really like their Pitas, but my wife and I really prefer their Hoagies. My wife's sisters always get a special coffee that isn't on the menu when they come here. They've sworn me to secrecy, so I can only say that its way too sweet for me, but they go crazy for it. Fun little place and a must visit if you are in Winona. It is right next to their movie Theater, so it would be convenient to stop by for a snack/drink before or after a flick too. I've been told this place is popular for dates. read more

The Acoustic Cafe is the best version of a small town coffee/sandwich shop with high quality food in a setting with remarkable ambience. I suggest the hot hoagie and soup combo especially if you find yourself here on a cool fall day. It's a staple for the students at Winona State but that doesn't mean it should be overlooked by passers by. They even have live music pretty regularly! Fantastic spot overall! read more

Best ambience in Winona--not fancy, but really pleasant, lots of windows and light, local art. Good mix of everyone here--college students, locals, working downtown, tourists...and the hoagies and soups are consistently good as well. read more

A place that is full of memories. Lemonade and pita is tasty. Music is often good too.

Well, This place has to be one of my hometown favorites. The staff is warm and inviting and willing to help you. The Food is really good and healthy. My Suggestions that you should try is the Hoagies and The soups... and if you have any room left...try the aweome LARGE cookies. Many Moons Ago, when I first went to Acoustic, I tried their Chicken Gumbo. I posted the pic on here for you all to see how awesome it is. It was a cold winter day and this gumbo hit the spot! read more

Acoustic Cafe is by far one of my favorite Cafes that I have ever been to. The atmosphere is amazing and the food is to die for. I highly suggest the tomato basil hummus hoagie! The secret dressing they put on every sandwich is absolutely delicious. The staff is super friendly as well! They also have really good chili! Overall, if you ever make your way into Winona, Acoustic Cafe is a place you have to go to! read more

First time there and the lady working wasn't helpful at all. The place was super slow so not sure why the customer service was lacking. But my sandwich was very good so I'm giving 4 stars. I had the large sandwich and the two end pieces hardly had any meat at all so I suggest going with the half sandwich instead read more

NEVER GOING TO THE AcousticCafe-Winona AGAIN! Went to get a cup of coffee this am with Gary and Sage to reflect on good old days and ignorant cashier and staff were trying to tell us Sage could not join us inside the restaurant, even after declaring he was a medical alert service animal. Cashier even said she has a service animal and it isn't allowed in a restaurant. Thinking they need to be better schooled on Americans with Disabilities Act. Jerks. read more

Good food and atmosphere. It's long been able support of my gluten free diet and that is much appreciated.

You can't beat the Acoustic Cafe. The ambiance is sweet and warm and relaxing, I've never had anything but prompt and friendly service, and I still fantasize about their warm turkey hoagies. Acoustic, please PLEASE open a satellite location in St. Paul. Please? read more
