Located at 615 Graham Ave, Eau Claire, WI, SHIFT cafes have carved out a delightful niche as both a coffee haven and a bike shop, delivering a unique blend of caffeine culture and cycling enthusiasm. Customers consistently rave about the fantastic atmosphere, noting its spacious setting that's perfect for studying or unwinding with a good book. Gideon Bernthal appreciates the competitive pricing and attentive service, while Jordyn S highlights the extensive menu, which caters to a variety of tastes.
The quality of coffee at SHIFT has received high praise, with visitors like Logan Bosiger celebrating the skillful baristas and the natural light-filled space. Specialty drinks such as the blueberry brown sugar and maple caramel lattes, crafted with house-made syrups, have won over many, including Nicole Smith, who also enjoyed the delicious cookies.
While the loss of the bike shop aspect, as mentioned by Cody Martin, has impacted some long-time customers, SHIFT remains a cherished stop for coffee lovers. Whether you're in for a quick caffeine fix or a relaxing afternoon, SHIFT promises a comforting retreat that leaves you eager to return.

I’ve gotten coffee here a couple times. Atmosphere is a little different as it’s a bike shop/coffee shop but overall good prices compared to competitors. Great customer service and low wait times both times I’ve been there.

Love this downtown EC coffee shop! Great atmosphere with plenty of space to work, study or read while sipping a brew. Location is convenient, prices are competitive and the menu is extensive.

Visiting Wisconsin and FINALLY found good coffee! Beautiful shop in a nice location. Baristas are very nice, lots of natural light. Will be visiting again soon!

Fun coffee shop with nice atmosphere. Good blueberry brown sugar and maple caramel lattes with hand-crafted syrups. Enjoyed the peanut butter oat and chocolate chip cookies, too.

I've been a frequent flyer of Shift for a long time, covid messed that up. Then just life. I'm very sad to hear the bike shop is gone. It felt like another piece of the puzzle, ride down, get coffee, maybe a liege waffle if they weren't out and go hang out on the bike side. Sometimes I'd be there just reading. The bike side loss comes at a steep price for me unfortunately. I'll still stop in, but I'll have to take my bike elsewhere now.

A fun coffee/bike shop to hang out in. It can be busy, but there is usually a spot to sit that is a little quieter if you like. Good variety of options, including some sandwiches and breakfast items. A few gluten free options available. I love that their loose leaf tea is serving in a French press on a tray with a mug!

SHIFT is a really neat coffee / bike repair shop combo! I stopped by while on a visit to Eau Claire and had a great experience. While I can't really speak to the repair shop side, I thought their coffee bar was excellent and really enjoyed the seasonal latte I tried. The drink was called “Liquid Gold”—it really lived up to that name, with a super interesting blend of maple syrup and golden turmeric powder. I thought it was delicious! The service was decent enough and I thought their space was really beautiful. It had a chic, industrial vibe with exposed brickwork and nice art on the walls. I definitely recommend stopping by to check it out if you're in the area!
