Reviews for Acoustic Cafe Menomonie in Menomonie, WI
Great sandwiches, less than great service. I went in the other day to get a soup and sub with my roommate, once I ordered I... asked the woman behind the counter (who is also the owner) for a water glass. Pretty standard restaurant hospitality practiceright? However, the owner declined and offered to sell me a water bottle instead. Baffled by this, I asked why they do notprovide a cup of water to their paying customers. The owners' response? The Dunn county vacation rate is only50%..... Surprised by this response I didn't say anything, I grabbed my table marker and sat down. I didn't push back or startacting erratic in any way. Then the next time I went in to get a sub she pointed me out to one of her workers and whisperedsomething to him. I didn't hear what she said, but I'm sure they were very nice words that she had to say about me :) longstory short, go for the sandwiches, not the non-existent customer service. I'm honestly surprised they are still in businessafter going through and reading all these reviews about how terrible of a person the owner is. Read more

Just passing through the area. A cashier at a local store suggested this Cafe so we decided to check it out. Our lunch was good,... I had a pita sandwich and soup. We may go back another day to try breakfast before we leave the area, the baked goods looktasty. Read more
The french soda is actually really good. However the lady at the counter is very rude, as other reviewers agree. I went here... with my boyfriend less than a month ago and the bad memory hasn?t left me. We walked in and spent at the very most two minuteslooking at the menu above while talking about if we wanted a sandwich or soup. The lady at the counter had been staring us downthe entire time and rudely interrupts us with a tone saying theres a printed menu ?if that one is too hard for you?. I checkedbehind us to make sure we weren?t in anyones way to warrant being rushed and there was no one else. So we walk up to read theprinted menu and I ordered a sandwich and a french soda. I was very harshly asked what I wanted on the sandwich mind you. Thishad also been my first time having french soda so I didn?t know I was supposed to pick a flavor- I sure wish I was asked to picka flavor nicely. By the time our food arrived I was on the verge of wanting to go home and cry but I was very hungry. I took onebite of the sandwich and I couldn?t swallow it. It was very disgusting as if it was dunked in dish water. Though I?m notclaiming anything had happened to it. The soda was very tasty though. I decided to leave without a word and will never bereturning unless I hear that the mean lady is no longer working there. Read more
This is my favorite restaurant in Menomonie. Have never had a bad sandwich or soup in the 15+ years of going there. The ice... cream is awesome and such a great value. The workers are always very respectful. Read more
DO NOT GO HERE if you have children or love anyone on the spectrum. The Lady manager is the worst human being I?ve ever had the... displeasure of dealing with. They literally kicked out my family because my sister who is on the spectrum couldn?t ?control? herkids who are also on the spectrum! This isn?t the first time this lady has been the worst human being ever and she needs tolearn how to treat people respectfully especially when she?s in customer service! I pray no one supports this horrible business. Read more
Alright, so I heard SO much about this place when I moved to Menomonie and I was excited to try it out. I used to own a coffee... shop, so I was most interested in the espresso drinks. I told the guy at the register that I wanted I White Mocha, which is oneof the most common drinks at any coffee shop. He looked at me, then at the menu in front of me, and said "Do we have that on themenu?" I laughed, found it on the menu and realized that it was worded as a "White Chocolate Mocha" instead of White Mocha. Inmy opinion, someone working at a place like this should know what a White Mocha is, but let's forget about it. I also ordered aCarrot Cake Muffin and a slice of Banana Chocolate Chip Bread. Both of those were really, really delicious! I would definitelygo back for their baked goods. On the other hand? The White Mocha I got was terrible. It was extremely watery, which alatte/mocha should never be, and it was so bitter that I couldn't even drink it. Let me say this, I NEVER throw out a coffee.Even if it's not perfect, I'll still drink it. But this one? I just couldn't make myself drink such a bitter, watery thing whenwhat I was craving was a creamy, sweet White Mocha. I haven't tried their other menu items, but I will one day since I've heardtheir sandwiches are really good. And I know I'll have to try the coffee again just in case it was a fluke. But man, I'm scaredto order another coffee there!! Until I try the coffee again, I'd recommend you go to The Blind Munchies or Golden Leaf Caféif you need a good espresso drink! Read more
Decided to stop in last night with my boyfriend to grab a bite and drink. I hadn't been here in a while and decided why not! We... waited off the side as we looked at the menu, to stay out of the way. I have trouble seeing and hearing. When we ordered icouldn't hear too well and ordered a Medium drink. The lady who I assume is the manager was incredibly rude, she got frustratedand yelled at me to pick small or large. I'm sorry for misunderstanding, As I have trouble hearing and couldn't read the menuwell. I felt very unwelcomed and honestly just wanted to leave after that in tears. The other staff was very friendly. Weordered nachos and it was just tortilla chips with some shredded cheese on top they melted in the microwave, not at all worththe price. The coffee was alright, it did take awhile to get it though, however it was a bit busy so I completely understand.Until that rude manager or whoever she is is gone, I will not be coming back, and I suggest you dont either. I was just tryingto enjoy my night. It's a shame this nice cafe turned out like this. Read more
