Mmm… There’s nothing better than the smell of fresh coffee. Tucked in Market on River, Hiker Coffee (128 W. River St., Chippewa Falls) steals first! Try their toxin-free coffee beans and all-around wholesome goodness. Since 1991, The Coffee Grounds (4212 Southtowne Dr., Eau Claire) has been roastin’ those bitter beans to bring us some of the Valley’s favorite java. (Side note: Can we vote TCG No. 1 for “best smells”?) In third is Cabin Coffee Co. (2922 Meadowlark Lane, Altoona). Did you know they offer subscriptions? Have a one-pound bag or Cabin Kups delivered right to your door. —Stephanie Mickelson
