The Coffee Grounds
4212 Southtowne Dr, Eau Claire, WI
Crema's Take
“This Eau Claire spot blends coffee craft with a curated lifestyle experience, offering fresh-roasted beans you can grind on-site alongside an eclectic selection of wines, cheeses, and spirits that makes it feel more like a discovery destination than a traditional café. The industrial-warehouse aesthetic and knowledgeable crew create a laid-back gathering space where you might linger over a pour-over or creative specialty drink, though fair warning—the vibe skews more hangout-friendly than cozy, and they're particular about their outside food policy. It's worth visiting for the serious coffee selection and the unexpected community feel, especially if you're into exploring beyond just your morning cup.”
What to expect
Known for their pour-over program, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

Great coffee shop, a huge variety of fresh roasted coffee. Beautiful coffee machine. You can grind your coffee here. They also have a lot of delicious cheeses, wines and other good stuff. Thanks to Ryan! ☕️
