Kahvi Coffee House, voted the area’s premier coffeehouse, invites you to immerse yourself in the Swedish tradition of “Fika. ” This cultural pause from the daily hustle offers a delightful opportunity for individuals to come together, relish coffee and light snacks, and unwind in good company. Whirlybird Coffee Co. follows closely, the newer coffee joint securing second place with incredibly creative specialty drinks and grub as well as heartwarming customer service. In third place is The Goat Coffeehouse, a classic Eau Claire coffee joint with organic and fair-trade coffee beans. With booths to hang out with friends and local art to peruse on its walls, don’t miss out on The Goat. —Hannah Angell
