Free Range Exchange - La Crosse — Restaurant in La Crosse

The patio is nice, the breakfast sandwiches are delicious and well priced. However, our third time visiting this establishment, the service was not on par. The gentleman at the register was talking for quite some time with a guest in front of us, it seemed to be he knew her personally. However, I was waiting with my toddler son, so I didn't appreciate him taking his time to have a lengthy conversation before taking my order. Then, once my order was placed we sat down at the booth. The same gentleman proceeded to clean the windows with Lysol, right next to us. This is a product that I am extremely sensitive to as I have chronic migraines. This forced me and my small child to sit out on the patio in order to get fresh air, despite it being chilly. My recommendation to the business would be to keep personal conversations brief, as well as to clean windows before opening hours. Also, on a last note-- the cheesecake brownie that was recommended reminded me of a pastry that I ate many times in an MRE package when I was in the Marine Corps. Would not get a pastry again for that reason. Wish they...

We went here to get my wife some coffee. We also got a brownie and 2 sandwiches. They brought the coffee, and we waited another 20 min for our sandwiches, and ended up having to go back to the counter to figure out what happened. Turns out, the sandwiches had been sitting on the counter for an unknown amount of time. The staff claimed that they couldn't find us. The place was quite busy and loud while we were there, so we might have not heard them calling our name. But it's not a large place, so it wasn't hard for them to find us - plus they had already brought us our coffee so they knew where we were seated. My sandwich was their BLT which was the worst BLT I have got at a restaurant. The bread was essentially a large hamburger pub where they put oil and herbs on the top. The sandwich was light on bacon, lettuce, with a Sun-Dried tomato sauce of sorts. It was essentially like eating bread and had no additional ingredients to add texture. Probably the most disappointing BLT I've had in...

I’m sad to review so low and this is why. Every table was full from students I would assume, one table was reading a book and knitting. A simple sign in the door as well as table tents kindly asking to keep table use to an hour during heavy busy times. While I was waiting for a table there were roughly 4 groups that walked in and left due to “how busy the tables were” in that instance those who sit at a table with empty plates studying for hours are stilling from the business. There are other quaint establishments that kindly asking those to keep their time to an hour or less to allow for continuous paying costumers. I’m sorry to say I will only come back for a takeout coffee but not for food since there are usually no tables for eating. One could even label half the tables for...
