The Coffee Grounds is not your typical coffee shop, offering more than just drinks as it also sells items like waygu beef, kitchen necessities, and unique gifts. The spacious location is great for sitting and visiting, making it suitable for gatherings like ladies' brunches or company meetings. The back room provides ample seating, enhancing the atmosphere for conversations. Food is basic but flavorful, with a hot food menu that is worth trying. The coffee and food are generally good, though prices are slightly above average. The selection of local goods is impressive, including jams, wines, honey, spices, and various food items, all reasonably priced. The staff are friendly, and there are plug-ins for devices and WiFi available. The entrance is at ground level, making it accessible for wheelchairs and walkers.
The Guatemala 'light' roast V60 pourover is very smooth and balanced. The coffee shop has a decent Friday retired crowd in a boutique-esque food and beverage setting, and it is one of the, if not the first, specialty coffee shops in Eau Claire / Chippewa Valley. Customers have enjoyed the great coffee, delicious food, and relaxing atmosphere, with highlights like the breakfast burrito and the cinnamon swirl latte. While the breakfast offerings are wonderful and unusual, the lack of Tabasco sauce to accompany the biscuits and milk gravy was noted as a missed opportunity. The coffee shop also has a huge variety of fresh-roasted coffee, a beautiful coffee machine, and the ability to grind your own coffee.
