This is the best place in town to unwind and have a drink. Coffee choices are great, they also have a few local beers on tap. I love bringing a good book here.

This is the type of place to unwind, and study. Raw Deal does it best, and the drinks ranging from Coffee to Kombucha are just excellent. Update: Their food options are limited and not my cup of tea.

Extensive vegan dessert options, creatively prepared. A colorful extravaganza for sight and taste! Fresh juices and coffee to fuel the body and soul. Coffee roasted on site. Even vegan ice cream, as well! Come and indulge!

Got a Hazelnut Latte and an Italian Soda with raspberry and rose flavoring. Both were great! Highly recommend the raspberry and rose flavorings!

Best coffee shop in the Chippewa valley I could write a book about this place. Kombucha, on tape. Beer, on tap. They roast their own beans and they have a large selection of house made desserts and baked goods. I always get a bagel sandwich. They have the healthiest stuff like juices and smoothies and vegatarian / vegan ice cream. My favorite coffee shop Ive ever been to, a true destination. I wish I had more pictures the inside is huge and awesome with high ceilings and a balcony.

This cute farmers market was going on while we were there. The drinks were good and the atmosphere was great. It has plenty of food options: vegan, gluten free, all natural. My inner hipster was right at home.

I love having a vegan place, especially that has raw options, to stop at on my way from the Twin Cities to back home in Wisconsin. Ive never had something I didnt like and the atmosphere is excellent :)

Great space!!! I would definitely suggest for studying or meeting with groups. The decor is on point with the organic coffeehouse vibe they are trying to portray. The only reason for the 3 stars is the lack or variety in food, there are “organic” options but all that are loaded with chocolate. Their banana bread should be called a chocolate loaf with banana. I was really hoping for some healthy options when I had looked this place up originally. Also it is a little pricey for what is actually is what is a large coffee shop. Coffee was good but not the best I’ve had.

Overpriced vegan vegetarian stuff that looks better than it tastes. That being said, it doesnt taste too bad, the atmosphere is light and relaxed, they sell beer from local breweries, and they sometimes have live music. All in all, I recommend this place if youre looking for a good cup of coffee and a calm relaxing environment.

This place has such a nice atmosphere that reminds me of home! Both the coffee and the service are always good. Anyone who comes to Menomonie should stop by if they are looking for a relaxing environment.

Not big on the vegan stuff, if they just had more fish that’d be great. Peter had too much coffee and thought he could run across the water lmao #petergoingoff #thatsmything

Fantastic old building brought back to life, open concept, plenty of seating, wonderful ambience... Not to mention excellent coffees, teas, microbrewed beers and tasty food.Small venue for performances, well-open to students, and reasonable priced.I love this place, and I will be back regularly.

Great experience! We stopped by on our way through town. We told them what kind of coffee and other drinks we usually like. They wiped together a different custom drink for each of us that was fantastic!

Review №22

First time here. Not really sure what to think. When I walked in I thought the place looked amazing and inviting. I was looking at the menu and quickly realized everything is very expensive. A 12 oz juice is about $6. I was happy to pay this price but extremely shocked by the price of the treats on the counter. I got what I hope is a vegan rice crispy treat since the girl at the counter said she thinks it is and that it would be marked if it wasnt. I thought everything in this place was supposed to be vegan, but when I looked at the candy they had for sale a bunch of it was not. This is honestly upsetting to me because I really would expect a place like this to be vegan. I wish my juice was a 16 oz for the price but I understand produces expensive. Not sure I will be back often but I would like to bring my husband for some beer and maybe an ice cream.

Stopped for a quick beer but stayed for a few. Nice place with a big selection of drinks and food. My wife had coffee and a muffin, she thought it was quite good. I tried a few beers and they were all delicious. It was nice to have a variety to pick from that isnt the same old tap stuff.

Best coffee in town - fresh roasted in house, and the beans they sell by the half pound are great for using at home. Lots of gluten free/vegan/dairy free options, along with craft brews and kombucha too. Get a rewards card if you like their coffee, not too hard to build up to a free drink.

Review №31

This is a really cool coffee shop with juice bar, wine and beer, the espresso drinks are good. There is a vegan Deli and lots of space for lounging. Its a great place to have an event or watch local live music. Indoor farmers market in the winter. Recommend.

They have the most delicious cold brew and coffee beans! The relaxed atmosphere of the establishment makes it a wonderful place to meet friends! They have an excellent selection of raw, vegan and organic treats as well but I mainly go there for the cold brew refills and coffee beans! In the winter months they hold a farmers market inside on Saturday mornings.

The Raw Deal is one of the best places you can go for coffee, music, and atmosphere. Great for meeting up, hanging out, or getting work done. It is the most “menomonie” place I know of, so if you’re looking for something unique in town, Raw Deal is your place.

Olivia at the raw deal helped to make our event, my sisters bridal shower, absolutely perfect! Her attention to detail and willingness to assist with whatever we needed made the day stress free. The loft space was a perfect venue and the muffins were AMAZING! I would highly recommend The Raw Deal for any special event.

Review №45

This is my favorite place to go to do homework!! Theres plenty of spots to sit where you would feel rather excluded from other people. They play light upbeat music that is perfect to study to. I enjoy getting a white chocolate sconnie when I go. My favorite thing about Raw Deal is that they are big on composting and recycling. Thats my biggest issue with a lot of restaurants and coffee shops is how much is thrown in the garbage. Employees are amazing!!

Review №46

Very nice locally owned spot. Spectacular coffee, tea, wine, and in-house made beer. Note that this is ALL raw food - so if raw food is your thing you will probably love it. If it is not, you may just want to drink - but its great for that as well.

Wonderful staff, amazing food and the most welcoming atmosphere. I come to study all the time drinking my fill of the finest coffee to keep me awake. The noise level is always kept down but you arent discouraged from chatting and unwinding either.

Review №48

If you desire fresh roasted organic coffee, real creamer (not fake stuff in the little packets), real food made from real ingredients - then this place is for you. They even brew their own beer with local ingredients. This place is huge, too, so you dont feel like you have somebody listening to your conversations...plenty of room to hang out! Free pool table, fresh juice and smoothie bar, great diverse event calendar and a great family of owners top it all off. My family of 8 are frequent guests, my kids love it, too!

Review №53

I wanted to love this place, truly- I am a vegetarian, however there is a lot of room for improvement. I wanted to eat and have a glass of rose after seeing it on their Instagram story. Since the sandwiches were not made order, I looked through the sandwiches and found one that looked good, however all of the other selections with avocado were all brown so I got one without avocado. Since the sandwich was made on a bagel and it was cold, it was very tough and difficult to eat on top of having several thick slices of hard raw beets on it. Also, had I not asked for rose I would have never known they had it because it wasnt on any menu. I suggest having the food made to order and more bread options! It would be so awesome then! For 14$ though, I was hoping for a bit more enjoyment.

Review №55

This is arguably the best coffee shop in town. They feature a wide range of coffees as well as freshly made juices, locally crafted beers, and a selection of vegan food. I always order coffee and have been pleased each time, returning multiple times a week. Service can be a bit slow depending if there is a line or the time of day, but this is not supposed to be your rushed service Caribou or Starbucks.The atmosphere in The Raw Deal is great, wide open and spacious with plenty of seating options to sit down with a group of friends or to work on your laptop on a table. They also have bookcases where you can take and borrow books as long as you return your book or bring in one of your own to add to the collection. They also periodically feature live music.

Great Coffee! They roast fair-trade beans fresh right there in the front window of the shop. Probably up there in the best drip coffee I have ever had. They sell their beans in the shop and at co-ops in Menomonie & Eau Claire. Really good cold-press too, my wife and I always keep some of their concentrate on-hand.

I have been to coffee houses all over the world. Seriously hundreds - Germany, Finland, Croatia, Italy, Sweden, Costa Rica, etc. The Raw Deal stacks up nicely. The staff is impeccably friendly and helpful, the ambiance is unparalleled in its uniqueness, the coffee is quite good and they serve superb beer.You can get to the Raw Deal in the morning and start with coffee. Then when Jay Collins or Chris Freeman comes, you can always switch over to locally crafted beer. Just remember to drink some water once in a while.Honestly, I always felt more at home there than I ever did in my work environment at Stout. Hail and praise to the Raw Deal.

This Place Rocks!! I am just so shocked how far this little divish coffee shop (it always had amazing coffee and the space had mad potential)Went from a 3 to a 9 in 6 years.Im very impressed with EVERYTHING!! The employees are phenomenal Today Sarah served me.. One of the Very best Barista/JuiceMaster Ive ever experienced. The Juice is Amazing. The pastries all look entirely too delicious in their many.. Coffee Incredible. The menu has So many choices and I think I found my place.. Tell me who has 4 different flavors of Kombucha on tap with the fantastic flavor combos this place does? Hungry?? No problem these magicians will whip it up for you. Seating is plentiful. They have a balcony with seating also a bar and other chairs and tables thats incredible as well.. I seriously could go on forever About this Place. They are doing something Right Obviously. OH DID I MENTION ORGANIC ABOUT 99% OF THEIR PRODUCTS HAPPEN TO FALL UNDER THAT CATEGORY.And not to leave our Vegan Friends out, they offer enticing choices that will definitely scratch the itch in your brain when you just gotta have Something Yummy.. Oh yeah Beer and IceCream too.. This Place has a great vibe that is definitely a staple to this Awful Town. Raw Deal is the only reason I like Menomonie..
