Be warned it gets BUSYYY on the weekends and it’s a cute cozy place so it quickly becomes standing room only with an handful of tables. Thankfully when we got in line it wasn’t too bad, but by the time we left after having coffees , a quiche and pastries it was packed!
But for good reason! The food is absolutely delicious, you can tell there’s some real talent there in the pastries and the coffee was pretty tasty too!

Quaint little coffee shop I found on Google Maps. I was happy to see drink and food items I haven’t seen in other coffee shops that makes this place unique. The first thing that caught my eye was all the great looking pastries. Unique options included a croissant type thing with asparagus and bacon and some quiches that other patrons were talking about.
It was the same with drinks, they had sone unique creations. I ended up going with a “Dirty Watkins” which was a spiced black tea latte with a shot of espresso. Somewhat similar to a Chai, but different spices. I also picked up an order of the raspberry and hibiscus shortbread cookies. Both items were different but very tasty. I am disappointed I was just driving through and won’t be back anytime soon so I could try some of the other interesting offerings.

This tiny bakery/coffee place is incredible. The butter croissants are the best I’ve ever tasted. Give the baker a raise! Love the tin ceiling.

I admit it-I’m a bakery snob. Being both a transplanted Montrealer, and currently a resident of the #2 foodie city in the US, I’m particular about my baked goods! I would return to Eau Claire just for the baked goods at Nostalgic Bean. We purchased 10 bakery items and 8 macaroons for $60, and am planning on returning tomorrow to do it all again.

Life is too short to eat mediocre pastries and drink burnt coffee!

Absolutely one of my favorite places in the Chippewa Valley! The pastries are BEYOND delicious and always so unique! The staff is amazing and we love the welcoming atmosphere. The owners are wonderful people who strive to create an inclusive space and give back to the community! The outside seating area is perfect for a relaxing visit (even with kids along). The Grace is hands-down my favorite drink – SO good! You absolutely need to make this a stop if you are visiting the area!

I’m already nostalgic for this place.

A new day means a new morning to visit a coffeehouse. Tim actually suggested this place as he mentioned its something he’s wanted to try for awhile. We hopped in the car and headed out. I wasn’t sure what to expect from The Nostalgic Bean since I was going into this trip without much of a plan besides a few odds and ends. But what a surprise this place is. It’s in a cute little building with some sweet snail art on the side. Inside is quaint and cozy. The staff was super friendly while we did some do-si-do with other patrons of the bakery. Inside is small and due to the layout, it can get a bit crowded if they are busy at all. Normally this is a hassle but something about this place makes it fun.

I got my usual americano and a corn jalapeno quiche. With how busy it was, the food and coffee didn’t take much time to come out and the staff, again, was super friendly and helpful. I wanted a specific t-shirt and while they didn’t have it on their merch shelf, the young lady took the time to locate one in their back stock area. Keep your eye peeled for me wearing it in future reviews :). The americano was pretty good, just a bit below the bitter level I like but it made drinking it a breeze. The quiche was really good, too. I don’t think I’ve ever had one before this and I ended up getting it the next day when we came back with Matt.

The second time we came back, we had the same level of friendliness and same awesome deliciousness. All their baked goods looked amazing and both Tim and Matt were in love with the place, too. Tim dabbled in their baked goods but I don’t remember all that he got. Matt got a coffee and a small thing to eat as well.

The Nostalgic Bean has become a staple for us when we visit Eau Claire. I feel like we will hit it up every time we visit Tim because we all just fell in love with the place. Just look at their baked goods online and you’ll understand just how sweet this place is.

Sweet! Legit. 2.3 mile walk from home to this little bakery. Kind service, fab latte and a deliciously crisp almond croissant. What an awesome find! ☕️

Savanna and Misty make you feel super welcome. Aside from the great service their baked good are to absolutely die for! I usually find baked goods/pastries too sweet but here the pastries are well balanced and made from best ingredients. Just try out one time and you’ll see what I’m talking about!

I sought this place out because they were reputed to have the best pastries around, plus my husband needs good coffee to jump start his day. We parked in the small lot behind the old building. Inside we found a cozy environment made cozier by the torrential downpour that started outdoors as we entered. There are so many delicious-looking things that it made it hard to choose what to get! We went for a dulce de leche tart (a special this week), a chocolate croissant, and a knotted cinnamon bun; the latter two are visible in my picture. The tart, unfortunately, wasn’t set, and became an ooey gooey mess to eat, though the flavor was great. The pastries were delectable with oodles of layers and a beautiful butter flavor. My husband liked his coffee just fine, too.
