After my morning walk downtown I was in the mood for a cup of coffee and a pastry. I spotted the Grand Avenue Cafe and oh my goodness....what a quaint, lovely cafe. I ordered the fried sausage, egg, cheese, green pepper breakfast wrap.Great pricing and portion size. Friendly service. My new favorite breakfast nook.

For ambience of sidewalk tables. Average for sausage omelet served with no toast and lack of flavor. My wife liked her poached eggs

The food was good. But the wait to receive it was just unnecessary. The wait for even water was unnecessary. Watched another couple sit and wait to be served let alone acknowledged, they eventually got up and left. Asked for a box for my leftovers, our server brought me a dish of ketchup instead. I would love to come back and try again, but dont want the same experience.

If you want a great meal at a locally owned restaurant this is the place for you. This past year has been so difficult on small restaurants so please make an effort to support them. I love this place.

I had a very positive experience at Grand Avenue during the three visits that I have had. Their seasonal almond joy drink was terrific I also love that they are being very considerate of folks during the Coronavirus season. I also really liked their home made granola, and I was able to keep it stored for a while to add to my morning yogurt and oats! They also play very good music at this place and the staff genuinely cares. I am looking forward to coming here more and more.

This is a lovely, quaint little Cafe. Its book-themed character is a nice touch. The workers are polite and welcoming.

Nicely done. Great charm and warm service. Fun!

Cutest little place. Their breakfast sandwiches are good as is the burrito. But their pancakes are next level. Seriously so good! We order it for my son and we all end up taking bites since they are so buttery and tasty.

Great fresh ingredients. Wonderful sandwich and chicken wild rice soup.

Best food and service that weve had in a LONG TIME.

This restaurant is not open. Arrived 10am on a Saturday and it was closed.

Was not a great dining experience. Took forever to even be acknowledged that we would like a table. Service not great, food is mediocre at best. Loved the lipstick mark on my latte drink glass that was left from a previous customer! I do not recommend...want a really good breakfast? Go to Chickadees restaurant.

Visiting the Grand avenue Cafe is always a must after I have taken my 92 year old mother in law to the doctors at Mayo. She has been going to this location since they opened way back when. The people are always so personable and friendly and the food is absolutely the best. They use the most high quality fresh ingredients and have such wonderful food selections to tantalize the taste buds. I tried the bread pudfing during my last visit. It was my first time trying it. It is to dye for! Such a comfort food that transports you back to your youth sitting down at your gramdmothers kitchen table. Yep....I will be going there every time I miss her. Thanks Grand avenue for your timeless culinary creations, service and dedication to our safety. Much appreciation!

Try the bread pudding. A meal in itself.

Nice small place, service and food were both excellent

The food was very good and just the right size portion. Service was very good and waitress was very friendly.

Great food! Neat little cafe

Great food! We got a salad and a couple sandwiches and it was all delicious and good portions.Most of the staff were very pleasant. I’d definitely go again! I’d say it’s a bit overpriced for Eau Claire, but I’d still return for more ☺️

Had the special today which was wild rice cranberry French toast with honey cranberry butter and it was delicious. All their coffees they have are good to. We go their quite a lot and really love it. Servers are all very friendly and helpful.

Great service, food, and vibe.

Great food. Great service.

Cozy cafe in quaint neighborhood near downtown Eau Claire. Wide variety of sandwiches and wraps. Vegan and gluten free choices. I love their Belgian waffles.

Super cute little cafe!!! Good food and good atmosphere!

Good food and great service!

Excellent breakfast and responsible service in the time of covid.

Excellent place for breakfast and coffee in a cozy cafe. The staff is friendly and quickly get you your drinks and food. During the weekend mornings, the place is very busy and seating is tight but well worth it.

Awesome service, food and coffee! So glad they are open. 😁🙋‍♂️

The bread pudding is out of this world! The coffee is great the staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is casual and comfy, the quiche is good too.

The cafe is quaint and charming.Service is prompt and friendly.I have LOVED their quiche for years!!!Stop in, you won’t be disappointed!

Used to frequent this place in college and loved it. Went back just recently and still loved it!! Quaint place with friendly service. Delicious food.

Nice small Cafe that has great food and a wonderful staff of kind caring individuals. All very attentive as well as patience. Great for the book club or just for some friends to get a cup of coffee.

Had the most wonderful sandwich for lunch! Large enough to feed two. Cute place and great coffee.

Good food and cozy setting for breakfast and lunch. Can be busy (read: crowded) at peak times, but worth the wait. Servers are friendly and attentive. Great omelets and skillet potatoes, specialty breads and desserts for a weekend brunch or anytime.

Owner exhibited a prime example of age discrimination in putting on hold (owners words) of a senior citizen server. Effectively replaced with newer younger models with no reason given. Disgusting behavior by a business owner who should be ashamed of her actions in such a wonderful, diverse community. Discrimination of any kind has NO place in Eau Claire. Just be mindful that any patronage of this place is support of such behavior.

Friendly staff, good service when its busy. Breakfast goes until 11 but they have a decent sized lunch menu too, with regularly changing soups, quiches and baked goods.

A well cared for cafe situated next to the Chippewa River. Friendly staff and a fine selection of food and drinks. I encourage trying their wild rice soup; its been a favorite of mine for many years.

Absolutely wonderful. We had a great breakfast/lunch. Perfect service and free parking.

I had the unique Rueben, it was the best sandwich I’ve had in my life. Surprise it had no meat I’m not a vegetarian but definitely will reorder this sandwich and encourage everyone to try it. The service was also exceptional.

Nice place for breakfast. Ive tried all of the vegetarian meals there and liked them. The spinach lasagna is my favorite. Very friendly staff. I just wish they had steamed veggies or a fruit salad. Its so hard to be healthy in EC.

This is an excellent place, been coming here for many years, only ever had breakfast though. 5 star breakfast anyway

Delicious food, quaint little cafe with homey atmosphere. Excellent service, too. Love the cranberry wild rice bread!

The staff was super friendly and the food & drinks were delicious! :)

Do not recommend. For the price, there are FAR better options available with better coffee and food. They may have the aesthetic, but the fare doesnt follow through. The omelet: eggs were rubbery, mushrooms werent well cooked, dish wasnt well seasoned. Hashbrowns that came with it were HARD (not crispy). Ordering the eggs Benedict was a huge regret as well: broken hollandaise sauce that was separated and clotting on top of eggs that were definitely not poached and hard cooked. Small plate, which would have been fine if it actually tasted good, but for the fact it didnt and at the listed price, was definitely a negative. The saving grace and only reason this is two stars is bc of the bread pudding. That was the one item that was worth the wait.

VERY cute themed cafe. Perfect for a lunch date or just hanging out - great food too!

This place is spectacular. I love the vegetarian options, but the menu as a whole is very impressive. Friendly, fast service. Ill be a regular in no time now!

Really good creative food.

A tasty treat thats not too shabby at all. Better then most breakfast/lunch places around here fo sho! Make sure to check out the Lonesome Fowl and ADD BACON! :D

Cozy attractive little restaurant, very laid back, with good food & good service, and the owner is very nice & supportive of employees and the community

Cute little cafe. Good home cooked food. I always enjoy my meal ad the friendly service.

I love this place! Friendly staff and a delicious selection on a beautiful antique building. My favorite order is the Swiss Broccoli Robinson omlette.

Quick and friendly service with delicious breakfast options..coffee was great too!

Delicious food. Friendly staff and cute decor. Try the quiche, it is wonderful.

It is a unique place the food is awesome and the staff is great

Keep in mind that the menu attached to the google contact is not operated or submitted by the owner. All the prices are incorrect. Most sandwiches and salads are about $2.50 more than the menu on singleplatform.

Excellent food and service. Cute place!

The food is incredible. I had the Grand Ave Grilled Cheese with a bowl of pea and zucchini soup. Yum. Great service. Best sandwiches in Eau Claire.

Great place for breakfast or lunch. Such a variety to choose from and everything that I have ever had is very good.

Great traditional breakfast with $2 coffee plus free refills. This hole-in-the-wall, neat with tight seating makes it one of a kind places in Eau Claire. The staff is very friendly and always have a smile.

Were driving back to MKE and this was a nice, (very) quick stop with an interesting menu. I had a basil pesto pizza sandwich, which was pretty good. The husband had the Cajun chicken salad and he enjoyed it. The place was nothing fancy but it satisfied our hunger and was better than going to Jimmy Johns. I gave it a 3 because the table arrangements were awkward and the interior decor need some serious help. My husband (unintentionally) sat next to a return duct and it blew cold air on him (it is winter, 11 degrees out).

Best breakfast in Eau Claire. Hash browns are always perfect (This shouldnt be hard, but so many places mess them up).

Wonderful. Great food with wholesome ingredients. From scratch soups, quiche and you have got to try the bread pudding.

The quiche is my favorite!

The quiet place with a small menu and a quaint feel. The big windows let in lots of light and food came fast.

This place is always good! Service and food!

Googled this place with best cafe in area and this was one that came up. It’s true! Sooooo good. Great friendly service and the sweet potato pecan soup is to die for!!!

Great bread pudding, cozy little cafe in a quaint part of downtown.

Absolutely LOVE the look and feel of the cafe. The food is never a let down and I adore that they have fun specials like pumpkin pie soup!

Love the food here. Plenty of selections. Somewhat overpriced. Love the bread pudding.

Stopped here on a snow day from work, so it read not busy at all. Still, a few regulars were in for coffee and a chat along with a student who seemed to have wandered away from the University to find some realr breakfast. The guys behind the counter were friendly and accommodating. The wooden table and chair arrangements, pressed metal ceiling and kitchy wall paper runner of book spines atop the wainscoting contrasted with the funky beats of Brick House, James Brown and Peter Frampton playing over the radio. Is this Madison, or am I still in Eau Claire?They have my favorite double espresso drink available in three sizes. Alongside a warmed up piece of bacon, cheddar and mushroom quiche accompanied by a piece of cranberry-wild rice toast, my appetite was fully satisfied.Ill be back, maybe this summer to check out the lunch menu and outdoor seating.

Excellent food, waitstaff, and atmosphere! One of my favorite places to eat!!

Good comfort food, reasonable prices. Quaint.

Great breakfast spot

Love going here for breakfast. Wonderful breakfast. Love the eggs Benedict

Very cozy and friendly, with good food and fair prices.

Old recipes that theyre still using today very good place to eat

Food was good coffee too strong for my taste

Really cute interior, and the food is good. You don’t get much to eat for the price, though.

I love eating here! The food is excellent and the staff is wonderful!

Good food, our lunch was DELISH. Friendly and adorable.

Great coffee and eggs benedict. Waitstaff is friendly and usually there is little wait time for a table.

Meh. Not my cup of tea. $2.00 for 1 cup of coffee. $5.49 for for 1 burnt pancake. Probably won’t be back. Almost $7 for two small pieces of French toast.

It was ok. A but spendy for small portions and hash browns are an add on.

Really quaint cafe with good food and quality coffee. I have yet to have a bad experience

Awesome atmosphere, kind, polite staff and above all amazing food.

Good food..a but spendy, though.

Great flood in a charming little place.

Great cafe! Delicious coffee and food offerings in a friendly environment.

Consistently delicious food w excellent service - HIGHLY recommend

Food is really, really good, and the book-themed atmosphere is charming. Arguably some of the best breakfast foods and sandwiches you can get in Eau Claire.

Great food and nice cozy atmosphere. A hidden gem of a downtown restaurant.

An awesome, one of a kind cafe. The muffins are the best.

Cozy breakfast place that attracts a local crowd!

Love the quarter pound burger with no bun!

Great place for breakfast and cup of coffee on a Sunday morning.

Fantastic food drinks and small cafe atmosphere

I feel so nourished, best chicken sandwich of my life

Great food and coffee, good service.

I rated it so high because its my daughters favorite restaurant because of their quiche!

Best breakfast in town. Very friendly employees.

Delicious sandwiches served quickly in a quaint cafe atmosphere
