The Goat Coffee House
336 Water St, Eau Claire, WI
Crema's Take
“This espresso-focused spot near campus has carved out a loyal following with its quiet, contemplative atmosphere and impressive tea selection that rivals the coffee program. The Goat wins over visitors with genuinely skilled drinks and a laptop-friendly vibe that makes it perfect for settling in with work or meeting friends, though some regulars lament that service consistency has slipped in recent times. Come for the serious espresso and curated pastries, but give yourself time to enjoy the relaxed street-view experience without expecting to leave fully satisfied on food alone.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

A small quiet corner Cafe within walking distance of the campus with a quiet atmosphere and relaxing street view. Lots of different options to eat along with a very large tea menu available. Comes in 16 or 20 oz with the larger option being served in a teapot.
Awesome coffee and service. You know a place is good when you have a line out the door down the sidewalk, but no worries we were still served in a nick of time.
Is The Goat Coffee House the GOAT? Not quite but pretty close. Continuing our exploration of Eau Claire, Tim mentioned how he’s always wanted to try The Goat out so the next thing we knew, we were parking out front and reading the board listing the barista’s favorite drinks. …
