Reviews of SHIFT Cyclery & Coffee Bar (Coffee Shop)

Brian Tylee

Love this place. Great atmosphere. Great coffees. And bikes and parts too.

Travis Keel

Really cool place period. Employees are friendly. Enjoy a beer while they work on your bike or others. The mechanists are happy to talk about specific details and explain how they are fixing things. Real easy going, no one here on a high saddle.

Jill Markiewicz

Play stuff for kids, great baked goods, amazing lattes, friendly staff! Yuss!

Habibur Rehman

Great coffee, really nice atmosphere to have a conversation or just get some work done. Also, their banana bread is some of the best I have ever had!

Jared Andress

Best coffee in eau claire and the prices are just right.

Sia

Amazing coffee!!

Nick Marzofka

Traveling across the country weekly and looking for good coffee. This is the best I have found coast to coast. Atmosphere is great and the waffles are the best in the State!

Dustin L. Checkai

Cool shop with a great food truck!

Jacob Techmeier

Easily the best and one of the cheapest pour overs in Eau Claire, with mini waffles that are surprisingly filling and very complementary to their coffee. The bike shop front desk merges perfectly with one end of the coffee bar, which makes the atmosphere really cohesive, along with excellent decorations and furniture. SHIFT is already a downtown staple.

Nate Jones

Excellent waffles and a superb pour over in a really cool setting. This place is highly recommended!

Evan Knoespel

This is the primiere location for quality craft coffee. They had a phenomenal variety of rotating coffee for pour overs as well as the drip option. Even more, the coffee they are making is for sale in whole bean. I was lucky enough to come in when they were serving Onyx and Ruby.

Tyler Aken

The coffee was great and the staff were very friendly. Great vibe and cool decor, plus plenty of seating. The owners are great people, I highly recommend stopping in!

Mike Dodge

Great atmosphere! Loved hanging out here!

Alyssa Thoms

Such a comfortable place! There is nothing more proudly Eau Clairian than strong coffee and bikes.

Josh Hanson

Beautiful renovation at the new location. Friendly staff and good coffee.

Melissa Seyffer

Had the Americano and a street waffle and my daughter had the hot chocolate. We were here for "Words and Waffles" and open microphone poetry session. Perfect setting for it with lots of natural light and nice breeze coming through the open garage door. Friendly service.

Vicki Leigh Larkowski

Fast, friendly service. Tasty baked goods (including gluten free and vegan options). Phenomenal coffee!!!

Trendy coffee/bike shop!

Oleh Prodan

Hands down one of my favorite places in Eau Claire. Our first time here, staff walked us through the menu and recommended this blood dragon tea. Watching him make the tea was an experience in itself. He took such care and passion to measure it out and filter the tea, needless to say, tea was phenomenal. The coffee was great too. Moreover, as far as the atmosphere is concerned, its very laid back, plenty of room and places to sit. Very chill and quiet. Great place to come and hang out and do work.

Rachel Kinsella

Quite possibly one of my all time favorite coffee shops. I live in the cities but when we are back visiting family in EC it always warrants a stop here. Between the spaced out tables and vaulted ceilings it makes it feel like there's tons of space and not everyone can hear your conversations. Familiar staff and patrons, cold press on tap is the best, dreamy interior, fast wifi... Good stuff y'all.

Dan Baker

This place is beautiful! Great atmosphere, menu and service.

Jereme Rauckman

Last week SHIFT held a clinic for the local youth mountain bike team, they organized a fun bikepacking overnighter that I attended (and had a blast on), and it's like that all the time---doing things to enhance the local biking scene and bring cyclists together. These folks are an asset to the community. Oh, and they serve up a darn good cup of joe, too.

Sara Dutter

This place is great! Love the atmosphere and the staff are very friendly!

Shannon Joshi

Best coffee/tea shop in town.

Aaron Rigby

Amazing little coffee shop. The only spot in town with both gluten free and vegan options.

Daniel Gilpin

Vary rude I was lied to my wife called and was hung up on not very busniss like guy's

Becca Kleist

The atmosphere here is amazing, such a warm and welcoming place. Their espresso is THE BEST I've had in the Chippewa Valley. It's a great place to catch up with a friend or read alone. Love it!

Ian Wetzel

DAMN the coffee, the ambiance, the service, fantastic. Gabe and Colin are the best baristas around.

H Muns

Extremely poor customer service.

Bradey Deetz

Great drinks, ambiance and staff

Glen Kellner

Mark Jennerman

Nice place. Fast service

Andrew Koch

Fair prices, phenomenal atomosphere, quick service!

Danielle Luer

Fun place.

Janine Copeland

Delicious

Leo Camelo

Beautiful shop for Coffee. Limited assortment of food. The Liege Waffle is a deal. Especially if you get it warm out of the press.

Tony Brown

Nice atmosphere, medium size coffee menu, but what is offered is excellent. Outstanding lattes, served in real ceramic mugs, cereamy paint textured steamed milk not a mug full of foam like most chain or wannabe coffee shops. Intelligencia beans for espresso. Nice rotating selection of coffee for pour over. Will return.

Dominic Slauson

I really like the ambiance here; it has a slightly different feel from some of the other cafes in town thanks in large part to their focus on bicyclists. I hope that they add more options to the food selection in the future. Their beverage selection has a few unique offerings that I look forward to trying in the future.

Jordan Campbell

Great food and drinks, definitely my favorite coffee shop in the area.

Erik Wahlen

A much needed additional the EC coffee scene! A nice layout and great service from Collin! Great equipment and two pour over options - Chemex and Kalita. The ability to purchase to Ruby is fantastic. This will be a regular stop for me!!

AJ Moen

Best cappuccino and waffle in town.

Nicholas Blanks

The coffee rules and is well thought out and curated. Everyone there also rules. Truly ideal coffee shop.

Tabatha Voss

Their coffee is AMAZING. They have several milk alternatives & tasty baked goods.

Shaunalea Wenger

One of the better pour-overs I’ve had! I love this place♥️

Nicky P.

My inner coffee snob, bike-loving, foodie self is so very happy here! Miel is crafted perfectly and the vegan liege waffle is doing a happy dance in my tummy! We stopped for coffee and bakery items but was excited to see there healthy grab-n-go options like hummus and pita chips. This is a must stop if your in the area.

Carter McClain

The Nitro was delicious! Their waffles are unique and absolutely amazing. The only thing that i, personally, didnt like was the Chai tea.

Kenny Oatman

Few places take their coffee this seriously and do such a variety this well. I was in town for 3 days and stopped each day to try something different. The drip coffee was good but the espresso & Nitro cold brew were both some of the best coffee I've ever had. The prices are fair, service fast, and staff are super friendly. They stock locally roasted coffee at a great price and the merchandise is pretty cool too. As a cyclist, I was happy to see a variety of bikes for various styles of riders and that they had information on the local Eau Clair high school and middle school cycling team (I coach in a neighboring state). Hopefully they can get directly involved with the team and show them some maintenance tips and help get the kids set up on great Kona bikes. All in all, you'd be missing out on great coffee and a beautiful shop if you failed to stop by while in town. This place should become a fixture of the community.

Josh Bronstad

Coffee is SO good!

Robin Mink

I like to think of this place as my Clubhouse. Great people great Ambiance and the best coffee in Eau Claire

Jacob Johnston

Super hip spot. bike shop AND coffee shop and they have food, beer on tap, 2 types of kombucha on tap. Cool outdoor seating in the alley and out front. Comfy cozy wood decor. I take my bike here and they are fast and affordable.

Nick Albright

The owners really care about their customers. I brought in a wheel for a spoke replacement that had some complications. The service ended up not being done after about 4 weeks of waiting. I told them I was in no rush to get the wheel fixed but I was still bothered that it never got finished. One of the owners reached out to me. We had a good conversation about what had happened. I really appreciate their concern for their customers and I am glad to know I have an honest LBS to go to.

Jeff McCabe

Great coffee at cheap prices. Waffles are really good as well. They look small but are real filling

Phil Salwasser

Shift serves the best coffee in town, no contest. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and the atmosphere is very pleasant.

Ronda Giesel

Awesome!!

Chris Pruitt

Very nice atmosphere for coffee socializing or studying! Features a few of the top brands in coffee roasters, pour overs and espresso drinks. Service and treats are exceptional!

Daryle Mindeman

Best leige waffels!

Midwest Mayhem

Coffee and waffles are great!

Larry Jacobson

Great coffee and some breakfast items. They also sell and repair bikes.

mattboeltr

I was planning on buying my bicycle from a shop in the twin cities and when I came into Shift I decided to buy local instead. Not only were the bike guys (Adrian and Sean) super knowledgeable and helpful, they also made it very enticing by giving me a very fair price and discount on a new bike. Highly recommend going to Shift if you are considering purchasing a bicycle. They even do service on bicycles as well- either way, I highly recommend them. They have a lot of experience/knowledge and it doesn’t hurt that they are nice people as well.

Jeremy Fjelstad

Pretty good stuff on selection, but it is a smaller selection for food and drink. Great idea to make a place to tune your bike and grab something nice. The waffle things (dinges?) are delicious. There is a difference between the regular and vegan versions, but both are tasty and worth trying. The staff is helpful in narrowing down what you might want. The selection of bike parts seemed extensive to me, but I personally am not that into cycling. Would recommend.

Stuart Kubow

Great service shop!

Z Jiang

A nice place to hang

Tianna Smetana

Easily my favorite coffee shop in Eau Claire. You have got to try their waffles!! Their kombucha on tap is also top-notch.

Megan Olson Hunt

Great coffee. Awesome atmosphere with the bike repair shop right there. Fun vibe with open-air seating and lovely flowers on every table :)

Ben Komro

One of my favorite coffee shops! Friendly staff, great atmosphere, wonderful coffee! Not to mention the waffles are to die for!!!

Luke Dillaman

Top notch place all around. Very kind staff and these guys know bikes in and out. I would highly recommend!!

Tim Schwagel

They got waffles, they got drinks, and in the bathrooms they got sinks

Isaac Risseeuw

Beautiful space, delicious coffee, friendly staff, and extremely reasonable prices.

Jones StudioProductions

OH SHIFT WHERE DO I START...This place has become so dear to my wife and I and our good friends. We love meeting friends here and you can literally spend hours on end just soaking in all the wonderful things about this place. I could right a whole book on how AMAZING their home made LIEGE WAFFLES ARE! There is so much love, comfort, care in everything they do there. Its a place that you can go to several times a week and your still excited to go back again! The coffee is amazing (best in town), the people are INCREDIBLE, the atmosphere is super hipster/westcoast vibes, and oh those waffles...you feel so welcomed every time you walk in those DOORS. And if that wasn't enough they sell and repair bikes! HANDS DOWN best place in the CHIPPEWA VALLEY, even if you don't like coffee ;) We LOVE YOU SHIFT! Can't wait to becoming here for years to come...

Brooke Dixon

I love studying here! The environment is so relaxing and it always smells like fresh baked goods. They use the best almond milk for their lattes (Pacific) and those baked good that smell so good are delicious! I had a gluten free vegan toasted coconut muffin and it was amazing. I'm not vegan or gluten free, I just really like coconut, but I couldn't even taste a difference!

Emma White

Excellent place. The hippest place. Good coffee, good scenery! Highly recommend

Craig Wilm

Bikes, coffee and interesting people. What more could you want?

Lexi Ward

Such a beautifully furnished hipster cafe! High quality Kickapoo coffee beans and fun friendly employees behind the bar. Lots of seating and good music (a little loud)

kenny patenaude

Great place to get bike maintenance done. They did a great job helping me with a Salsa bike warranty issue. While you are at it, have some great coffee.

Jeff Crowell

Wonderful place!!! Great coffee and snacks and good bike selection. Wonderful owners!!!

Different.

Kristin Knickelbein

Great drinks, tasty liege waffles, fun atmosphere

Ian McAlister

Affordable, good atmosphere, yummy zucchini bread

Jonathan Van Steinburg

Just go here and give them your money! My favorite things Are Here bicycles coffee baked goods vegan food they also had beer and oh did I say bicycles and coffee already? The inside of the coffee bike shop at shift was wonderful packed with a bunch of Art and bicycles and had a very open atmospheric feel. I think this would be my spot if I lived in Eau Claire the music was great the coffee was done right I got an espresso and it served with the tonic water. There was a few vegan options for baked goods that would have accompanied coffee really well if I hadn't already eaten this morning. The music playing over head was upbeat and great rejuvenating. I love that that people making the baked goods or doing it right in front of you and not hiding in the back definitely handcrafted I will try them next. As far as the bicycle selection goes there's a few Brands Cannondale Kona and a salsa bike I like seeing Brooks saddles and ortlieb panniers and bags for sale are two of my favorite Brands and solid gear .

Allyson Frederick

Great staff and amazing coffee! The scones and kombucha is highly addictive

Tami Syverson

The guy who made my latte was truly an artist!

Myra Lee

Conceptually interesting but but poorly utilized coffee/bicycle repair shop. No one seems to go here for bicycle repairs, let alone even cycle to the shop despite it's proximity to bike trails. This is a nice place and short drive for trust fund endowed students to indulge in expensive coffee and work on their MacBooks/status check.

Chris Campbell

A great place to meet cor a quick business meeting. Needs a bit more acoustics....

Josiah Wahl

Great service. They'll repair your coffee and make your bike.

Jennifer Jacque

Such a unique place to go. It's a coffee house and a bike shop. The waffles are a must try. Even the day olds are good and are half the price.

Sierra Garcia

I know very little about bikes, but I took mine in here and was very impressed by the service. They were extremely helpful. 11/10 recommend!

Gary Roehm

Nice atmosphere, good prices

JK Simm

Got my bike looked at right away, then enjoyed a delicious cappacino. Service was decent, and it's not easy to find a good foam in eau Claire coffee shops but this was an above average experience

John Ayres

Comfortable spot to grab a cup of coffee.

Jer Lor

Great place to socialize and good vibes.

Casey Utke

Pretty good pour-over coffees, amazing waffles, and the folk who work at the bike shop are very nice! I love going here.
