Clean Slate Coffee House

Recently saw a list of “Top 10 coffee houses in WI” And was extremely surprised that Clean Slate wasn’t on there. Literally one of the coolest atmospheres of a coffee shop I’ve ever been in. Tons of local art, products, and amazing service. Oh, did I mention the drinks and food are incredible and priced reasonably?
The owner, Jen, has also been extremely kind and willing to let our local car group host a weekly Cars & Coffee with fellow car enthusiasts at Clean Slate.
Wonderful coffee shop. Stop going to Starbucks! Support quality coffee houses like this one!

Not from the area but I always love trying local coffee shops. This was near Rib Mountain which is where I was hiking. The outside appearance reminded me of an old diner, but the inside was a whole new world. It was very artsy and modern, very cute. Their lattes are good but I also tried a Lotus Plant Energy beverage. The cashier said his favorite was Aquamarine so I tried that. It was DELICIOUS. It reminded me of a blue raspberry jolly rancher. Will come again next time I'm in the area.

I grew up in the area and think this place is a wonderful addition to the community. Great coffee, environment and food! My only suggestion is to offer different flavored bagels! I'll be back again next time I'm in town.

We are in town for a wedding and our hotel did not have the best coffee. We were craving some good fresh coffee and found Clean Slate close by. First of all we love supporting local shops no matter where we are! This place was so cute, very fun atmosphere inside. My husband and I both got a coffee which was so rich and delicious that we even bought a bag to take home. We also ordered a bacon and Gouda burrito and a bagel with cream cheese - both very very good. Friendly staff. Wish we lived closer so we could come here all the time!!

Large variety of drinks. Got a few to go. Employees were helpful and efficient. Drive thru and ample parking too.

Excellent smoothies and breakfast burritos.

Atmosphere is welcoming, so much natural lighting. Artwork and personal touches really make this place a treat for the eyes and soul.

My favorite place in town!

STAFF: The staff are all AMAZING and so friendly. Jen and her team are always so kind. They also know their stuff and are able to make a drink that is both vegan and nut-free for me.

KID FRIENDLY: They are also super welcoming to my infant daughter and have clean bathrooms with changing tables*

DRINKS: Their Chai is the absolute best in town and maybe even in the state. I've tried a ton both in the Wausau area and the Milwaukee area and none come even close to beating Clean Slate's. On the rare occasion I don't order a chai, their matcha and frappes are also super yummy.

Such a cool shop. Loved all of the artwork and decor the PSL with oat milk was perfect!

Barista was very helpful.

What an incredible place! We piled into a coffee shop only to find the friendliest staff and a really very cool design. While drinking the Apple Pie latte, I kept finding neat little trinkets and gems and artwork on the walls. It was actually a shame to leave. What an absolute gem of a place. Thank you for being so awesome!

Clean Slate is always very inviting and has NEVER made my drink incorrectly. I have introduced a few friends who have some allergies (milk/nut) and they are now regulars when they are in the area. The very kind staff and upbeat personalities always make my day better once visiting them. HIGHLY recommend this place as they truly listen to your order and will get it right. Ohh and the Bacon Gouda Burrito is AMAZING!!!!

SO CUTE. I’ve been here for a few times, but have only gone through the drive through. Today was the first time I have ever gone in and it was a great experience. Atmosphere is so cozy, and the food and coffee are very good. I got an iced latte with oatmilk and half pistachio and half white chocolate. Best latte I’ve ever had!

Absolutely the friendliest coffee house I've ever been to, and the best coffee! Clean Slate staff will treat you like a person, not just a number on a receipt. This is the only coffee house I will go to. You want the best? Go here! ( and try the Candy Bar macchiatto!)

Staff is friendly. Drinks are delicious! There is plenty of seating inside or on the patio. Located right off of Interstate 39.

I really like the place, service and the decor. But to be completely honest it was a little loud for my taste. Love all the plants.

Great coffee and food. The ladies are very nice here. Whenever we are dog sitting for my daughter, they are all so happy to see Fritz. Try this place, you won’t be disappointed.

Great coffee, and coffee cake. Service with a smile. Great place to sit and wait while the person you drove to the VA clinic have their appointment.

I first went here to meet one of my mentors back when it opened around 2/3 years ago. I didn't have anything special to say about it. I was wondering if they would make it especially because Starbucks started building shortly after they opened. But, I just came back today after a while and wow.

They expanded their portion of the building a bit and it's really amazing in there.
Great service from very friendly people.
Great coffee and lunches.
Amazing atmosphere.
Great art in the building.
Involved in the community.
Wifi makes it a great place to get some remote work done.
They even have a drive through if you're in a rush.

Will be working out of here the rest of the time I'm back in town.

Came from out of town & found this amazing place. The burritos were delicious & the coffee was even better. Very reasonably priced, the inside has very cool art and is very welcoming. We actually came back in the afternoon for another coffee. Definitely will be coming again next time I'm in the area.

80s, vintage, hippie vibes. Cake batter iced latte and Bavarian cream bread superb.

I had such a pleasant experience. Staff are so friendly. The coffee was great. Much better then your typical big chain place.
