Just stumbled into Scatterbrain Cafe on a sunny November afternoon, and wow — what a find! This quirky little spot in a charming old building oozes character from the moment you walk in. Exposed beams, cozy vibes, and a “please seat yourself” chalkboard with a smile? Instant good mood. The coffee is seriously good — rich, smooth, and clearly made with love. I had the Campfire Caramel (toasted marshmallow and caramel notes — pure cozy in a cup), and it was perfection. Grabbed a bag of their Steely Yeti Dark Roast to take home, and two days later, I’m still raving about it. Bold, smoky, and insanely fresh — way better than the grocery store stuff. Now, the food — oh man. I went with a fluffy omelette loaded with spinach and herbs, served with crispy hashbrowns and a side of creamy herb sauce (ranch? aioli? whatever it was, I wanted to bathe in it). Simple, fresh, and executed flawlessly. Portions are generous without being overwhelming. But the cinnamon rolls? TO. DIE. FOR. Warm, gooey, with a thick swirl of cinnamon and a mountain of cream cheese frosting — easily some of the best I’ve ever had. They’re displayed proudly in the case like little edible trophies. Pro tip: get one. Or three. The menu is thoughtful — great brunch options, fun coffee specials (that Campfire Caramel is now my obsession), and even herbal teas and wellness blends for non-coffee folks. Prices are fair, service is friendly, and the whole place just feels right. Scatterbrain Cafe isn’t just a cafe — it’s a vibe. A cozy, delicious, soul-warming vibe. If you’re local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and stop in. You can thank me later. 😊☕🍴

Family favorite! My family has biked here from Menomonie to have brunch. This time we had a wonderful brunch and then went for a hike on the trail. Everything tastes good especially the coffee ☕. We treated ourselves to a pumpkin cinnamon roll when we got back home from our hike! Delightful treat to our fika.

Great little cafe off the beaten path. The coffee was good with a wide variety of drinks offered. We had breakfast, pancakes and oatmeal which were excellent. The oatmeal was overflowing with toppings. Homemade toast was tasty. Give it a try!

This was my first time here and I loved it. The staff was really friendly, and I loved the decor. The food was really good too. This place has a really nice at home feel to it. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you.

This used to be our go to place. We were there a few weeks ago, sat at a table, waitress came and gave us our water, and never came back to take our order. We looked for her and waited another 15 minutes and finally left. The menu also seemed to have changed quite a bit.

Great food, great staff, the building itself looked very nice inside and out! I will visit again to try more of the menu.
My husband 'accidentally' found this spot and he immediately went back the next day. He got me a cinnamon roll and an ice chai latte, both were DELICIOUS!

Food for the most part was good. I got a side of avocado with my breakfast bowl and it was so hard I had to cut it with a knife. We got a few baked goods and most were old and dried out. I could have used the scones as hammers.

I don't give 5 stars unless deserved, and this small café was by far 10/10. I got a dill pickle grill cheese and cabbage soup and man, if you haven't tried then your missing out, especially my fellow pickle people!! Take time and go here! you won't be disappointed!
