Racy D'lenes Coffee Lounge

I've never tried the food here but the mimosas, staff, and ambiance are all fantastic. Highly recommend. It's a nice place to relax and have a mimosa while waiting for a table at Nucleus.

A cozy end to a fantastic vacation. Tim described Racy D’lenes as what coffeehouses were like before they exploded everywhere. What he would consider to be a true coffeehouse. This got me excited as I do like a genuine cozy coffeehouse that does it’s own thing and Racy was just that. We rolled in around 9am to get coffee and enjoy the quietness before Matt and I drove home. The sky was overcast with the constant threat of rain. The inside of Racy was nice and cozy. I got my americano, a giant chocolate chip cookie and a funny sticker for my final Eau Claire experience. Tim and Matt both got the Cadbury Egg latte. The place was a bit busy so we ended up sitting on this couch. We weren’t crammed in there but 3 grown males put it to the test. I kid you not, this americano and cookie may have been the best thing I had during this whole trip. I know I’m easily excitable and tend to give high praise for most things but those two things were legit delicious. The cookie was so good that it made me wish I got a hot coffee just to dunk it in as that sounded divine. Both Matt and Tim said their latte were amazing and tasted just like a Cadbury egg. As we sat there and made small talk and went over the fun of the last few days, I couldn’t help but look around and notice all the little things strewn about the place. There was a tank with a live turtle in it. There was a skeleton handing from the skeleton talking to someone (I couldn’t see where the line went) via a can and string. The walls were painted or had stuff hanging up. This place must’ve been here for a long time now. Speaking of the cozy feeling, if this place had a fireplace, I would’ve fallen asleep so easily. I was already nodding off due to the weather and being perfectly content and settled in, it wouldn’t have taken much more to slip off into a light snooze. Now that would’ve been a first for me, falling asleep in a coffeehouse… but if you’ve been here on a rainy day, you would understand. Eventually we made our way outside and were doing the midwestern goodbye when it started to sprinkle. That put a little pep in our step to get back to our cars and say goodbye to Eau Claire. Two things to keep in mind for visiting here is that its on the backside of The Nucleus and that since it’s on the backside of a building, parking is very limited and you may need to park on the street if it’s busy. Racy D’lenes… I will definitely be back.

Been here several times. Its definaltey a go to place if you want to have an authentic feel for a local coffee shop. It's not built for speed, instead it's meant to give each person and personal coffee shop experience. The furnishings and decor are unique and interesting. There are games and tables set up to encourage fun or relaxing. If you have to wait for a table at Nucleus Cafe, you'll be directed here, since they are connected by a hallway (although it's a very circuitous route :)
