Great little coffee shop and cafe. Excellent quiches, wild rice bread, breakfasts and lunches, and our favorite item - bread pudding w whiskey sauce. Fun vibe and always busy. You can sit outside when it's nice, too, then head across the street to a couple funky antique shops .

This is our favorite spot for the best of the classic plate of American food, a never ending cup of coffee, good service, tasty food, and lots of menu items. It's always bustling, always busy, you'll get a great big plate of food for a great price, and probably leave with a take home box to eat later. We love their breakfasts, especially, and it's a Larson family tradition to go here for breakfast on our birthdays. We call it AFR, and the owner always welcomes us by name. :)

We love this "former DQ". It's right on the bike trail, by Carson Park. They have a big jug of water out for guests, and picnic tables outside for the bikers right on the trail. Our handyman Nick absolutely swears by their steak sandwich, but we love their Dilly Bars. They make them by hand here, they are HUGE, and come in specialty flavors. Bee always gets the peanut butter and chocolate, and Paul gets the Heath Bar. yumza.

Really really good steakhouse with a very nice upscale feel (white linen tablecloths, excellent service, etc.). It's in the brand new Holiday Inn hotel.

The 30.4-mile Chippewa River State Trail kicks off at the confluence of the Eau Claire and Chippewa Rivers in downtown Eau Claire’s Phoenix Park, where visitors can access a walking labyrinth, amphitheater, farmers market, restrooms, parking, and the southwestern endpoint of the 28-mile Old Abe State Trail, which heads to Cornell. Heading southeast, your journey begins over a 500-foot-long trestle that used to carry train cars of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad. Get out there! :)

There's a separate fenced part for smaller dogs, too.

If you want locally sourced, organic, or just an interesting shopping experience, head to Just Local (Now called Menomonie Market Food Co-Op). They have lots of specialty items, all locally sourced, from veggies to coffee, breads, meats, honey, lotions and cleaners, and even hand made baskets. You'll feel like you stepped back in time.
