If you need a pick-me-up, our first place winner for Best Local Coffee Roaster, The Coffee Grounds (4212 Southtowne Drive, Eau Claire), has it all. They offer kitchen gear and gadgets, delicious food, cigars, and, of course, fresh roasted coffee. Hiker Coffee, in second place, makes “mad tasty clean coffee” free from toxins. You can Build Your Box or shop their coffee and merch on their website, stop in The Local Store to grab a bag, or visit their brand-new physical location at Market on River (128 W. River St., Chippewa Falls). In third place, Cabin Coffee Co. (2922 Meadowlark Lane, Altoona), is a cozy spot to visit with a friend, sip on a coffee – especially thanks to their on-site roastery! – or savor a tasty treat. –Stephanie Mickelson
