THE NUCLEUS CAFE
Eau Claire's Heavyweight Champion of Food.
The Nucleus started as a small cafe with just a few tables and a great view of Water Street in downtown Eau Claire. Nearly two decades later, the tradition of full body and full flavor breakfast, brunch, and lunch remains. The Nuke, as locals call it, has more than doubled its seating and kitchen capacity over the years, but the classic menu offerings remain.
