The French Press

Wife and I always look for non-chain coffee shops when visiting out of town, this one hit all the ✔'s. Great coffee, great service, great atmosphere. We went ahead and ordered breakfast as well which was delicious. Will definitely be back when we're in EC area. Thank you!

Food was amazing! We ordered the Brisket Hash (7/10), the Salmon Scramble (9/10 just wanted more dill cream cheese!) with a side of bacon, a Chai Latte (slightly floral, foam was delicious and thick), and a pecan sticky bun. The worst was the sticky bun, which seemed like it had been in the display for over a day because it was a bit hard and dried out. Everything else was flavorful and delicious, we will definitely be coming back!

We were looking for a quick place to grab lunch and decided on this instead of fast food. It may have been a few minutes longer than fast food, but really only took a couple of minutes. Or food was very tastier and certainly much healthier than fast food. I had the honey lavender latte and chicken artichoke wrap. Both were very good. Everyone else in our group enjoyed their food. I also liked all the art on the walls. We will definitely be back another day.

This is my favorite local coffee shop in the city. Their lavender honey latte is to die for. Their muffins are good, the lemon ricotta pancakes are incredible, and they have the best tuna salad sandwich in the city. I also love that they sell their made-in-house syrups by the jar so I can make delicious coffee at home.

The best crab soup in my whole life. The cafe is very cozy. It feels like you belong there. Chicken salad sandwich was good too. But soup was mind blowing. My next time here i will check out their coffee. Thank you for an axellent service and fresh flowers on each table.

The food is delicious. I read that food will take over 45 min but we were a table of 7 and we got our dishes in leas than 20 min. The barista is awesome, try their Chai. Food is super fresh and made at the time.

Looked up a place for breakfast on our road trip and we were in for a treat.
Nice place, great atmosphere, good food and friendly staff.

We celebrated a 90th birthday with friends and family on a Saturday afternoon. Kris and John were excellent hosts. The space was perfect for the 60-70 guests who gathered for coffee, lemonade, and sweet treats... all delish!!!

I love this place. Staff is WONDERFUL and they all work well together. They've all been there forever and I love that. The Cafe Miel is a handmade dream. The Oreos brought us in years ago. But I keep coming back for the Lemon ricotta pancakes, which consume my thoughts at least 4 times a year to the point I have to go. 😁 Highly recommend if you feel like feeding your best independent film life.

First time here - colleague recommended the Chicken Pot Pie. It was really good, definitely will come back again! Tasty food with vibrant environment.

Fabulous place. I can't believe I hadn't been there earlier. Breakfast all day. Not open for dinner. Prices are good. Staff is excellent! Can't think of any negatives. Excellent coffee. One thing, as always, bring your own homemade maple syrup.

A good spot to have as a regular place to go. Quiet, even though there were several people there (which was nice). Breakfast was served hot and with no long wait.

This place has the best coffee I've tried in the EC area so far. I wish it was one of the shops in my walking distance! I had eggs Benedict, hubs had a sandwich, son had a cookie. It was all delicious. Comfortable, relaxing environment.

This place is fantastic. It was our first time here. There was a line out the door, but it moved fast. Our beverages were done in minutes and our food in less than 10. Tons of baked goods, fresh quality ingredients. Great service and phenomenal food. The owner was taking orders and running the register, she was very kind and helped us with our decisions as literally everything on the menu looks and sounds delicious. She is doing everything right. Great to see a local small business not just surviving, but thriving!!!

My son and I stopped here to fuel up before a bike ride. We sampled a lot of different things - and loved everything. The muffins and dense and delicious. Great service and reasonable prices.

I have been here for breakfast a few different times and have enjoyed everything I’ve had. Today I tried the brisket hash and thought it was excellent, one of the best hashes I’ve had, since it didn’t have the problem of being too salty like many do. My date had the Benedict and enjoyed. I will be back to try the lunch eventually, so far I can only review the breakfast. Good atmosphere too, we sat by the fireplace and had a French press also.

This place is fantastic! It provides a comfortable environment and amazing food and beverage options.

I was passing through on a work trip and needed a place to set up shop for a bit. This place has everything you need.

My food choice on this morning was the brisket hash and it was to die for.

Please check this place out if you’ve read this far in my review.

Consist and tasty! The cobb salad is possibly the best salad in Eau Claire, you have to get it with the house ranch. If it's a cooler day get the chicken pot pie if it's available!

Gluten free options are amazing!! I am from Missouri and I have celiacs disease. Greta was super helpful and took the time to help me navigate the menu and took time to answer all my questions! Great stop and even greater food!!

Great little place, awesome vibe and excellent food. Prices are great too, not sure why there are some reviews complaining about that... Highly recommend! Didn't try their coffee yet but excited to next time.
