Raw Deal

Pretty cool place, lots of coffee and smoothie options. Kombucha and beer on tap. Baked goods and bagels. Books and games and lots of seating for folks who want to sit awhile. Some of the seating is on a second floor area overlooking the rest of the shop.nnI just had a black Americano but it was delicious. Drank it while exploring the Devil’s Punchbowl a bit

We stopped in to grab a coffee on our way through town. They had winter farmer's market going on so it was very busy and kind of noisy. Didn't matter for us and I love that they've opened their space for the artisans.nnCoffee was ok. Would stop again if in the area.

This is such a great place! You can grab a coffee, kombucha, or beer at the bar and work or catch up with friends. It has a lovely relaxed eclectic vibe. Not a ton of food options but great breakfast or snack options for GF & DF people. I can't say enough good things about this one.

Raw Deal used to be a reliable go-to in Menomonie, but it’s been slipping for a while now. The prices keep creeping up while the quality and variety of the food actually feel like they’re going downhill. At this point the bagels are basically the only thing I trust to be consistently good, everything else is hit-or-miss.nnService is the biggest letdown. Most of the baristas act like they’d rather be anywhere else unless you’re one of their friends or a known regular. Even when it’s dead in there, expect to wait 15–25 minutes or longer for a single drink. You’re rarely acknowledged when you walk in, no “we’ll be right with you” or even a quick nod, which makes the slow service feel even worse.nnThe atmosphere itself is decent cozy, lots of local art, etc., but opening at 9 a.m. on Sundays kills a lot of the weekend vibe. If you want a coffee shop that actually feels welcoming and efficient on a Sunday morning, you’ll have to look elsewhere.nnSadly, it’s gone from a favorite to a “only if I have no other options” kind of place. 2/5.

I could’ve spent all day in here. The vibes are awesome, so homey and peaceful. A heads up to not expect service as if you were at a Dunkin’. They take time to make your drinks right so if you’re stopping before work, plan an extra 5-10 mins. The everything bagel with cream cheese was spectacular. Bagels are made locally and the cream cheese was delicious. I so appreciate having my food on real plates with real silverware when I’m dining inside. Will return every time I’m in the area! Wish they opened at 8 on Sundays!
