Archetype Coffee

Another stop on my coffee tour in Omaha!…read more Seating inside and outside! Free WiFi! Dogs allowed! And connects to the Nodest Plant Store. Cold brew with cream: too acidic (affording to my wife) and tastes more like an ice coffee and less like a cold brew. Maybe could have used more water? The acidity was very harsh. The latte was great, very smooth espresso paired with a yummy made in house brown sugar syrup. This is not the place to go if you like flavors as they only have ONE flavor. The brown sugar flavor is wonderful though! The person working was very patient as I looked over the menu for several minutes. Overall, a wonderful experience and it's beautiful inside!

Archetype Coffee is the real deal. I love coffee and I have been drinking and searching the coffee world for years now. I have tried most micro-roasters in the USA and some international. I have had (Verve, madcap, intelli, stumptown, Coava, Ruby, Blue Bottle, Heart, and the list goes on and on. I Have had 49th Parallel, Square Mile and Tim Wendelboe as well. I have had some amazing coffees from these roasters through the years and I am always looking for more Micro Roasters to try! I love coffee! Archetype Coffee Ran side by side with these amazing roasters and if not side by side better. I had the Ethiopian Deri Kochowa and it was amazing. Brewed in a v60. It was full of florals with a balanced acidity with a real juicy black currant/berries mouth feel. It had a herbaceous quality to it that I had not had in a cup in a long time and it was really good. It is right up there with some Geisha coffee that I had recently had. Overall It was a very satisfying experience and I cannot wait to try more coffees from them. read more

I went here because it was the new coffee place in the neighborhood when I walked in I got a bad taste in my mouth. From the moment I walked in and you can tell this wasn't up at a place that feels they're better than they really are. There was no art on the walls at all there's maybe four people inside, the Baristas wear black shirts and ties like their cocktail bartenders at a ritzy Club in LA and I swear to God I see one more hipster walk out of this place I'm going to throw a brick through the window. hipsters die..... anyways back to coffee I got a triple shot mocha well I'm not sure they put three shots in it they didn't even fill the cup all the way up I didn't get whipped cream and I'm not sure how much chocolate they really put in it for $7 I expected a bit more thanks I'll be going to Starbucks read more

When I first came into the Archetype Coffee shop and had a shot off their Synesso, I thought: There isn't anything like this in Omaha. I moved here a little over a year ago, and immediately started tasting the different offerings around town, looking for that elusive smoothness that doesn't generally happen by chance. The first 6 months of my search was a little rough, a lot of coffee talk, but there just wasn't the taste or consistency to back it up, and then archetype opened. Think: blue bottle verve counter culture crema heart Velo These guys know what their doing. Boutique coffees and consistently great espresso. Simplistic. Sleek. Perfect. I'll be back. Ps: if you care about esthetics, the shop is beautiful, worth a visit for the architecture alone. read more

If you are looking for photogenic and top-notch coffee, this is the place for you! The environment isn't the best for studying, but the people throughout the shop are always willing to have a quality conversation. Their menu also has many dairy-free, gluten-free options.

All the parking near the entrance is metered parking-- the kind that's hard to figure out if you don't use it regularly. There were three parallel parking spots directly in front of the door, but they were all filled and had 15 minute limits. The meters seem to be owned by the city, so maybe Big Grove doesn't have a choice, but it's very odd and wrong. The employees don't know anything about it. Next, the food. Bookguy wanted a muffin, but they were out. The pastries in the case were not like anything I had seen before, except for the cookies. The counter person described what they were, rather than naming them. Thus we ended up with a mushroom thingie and a pizza thingie. The mushrooms were minimal, black shreds with no flavor in a cornbread-like square. Bookguy rejected it after one bite: too dry and flavorless. I didn't think it was awful, but I wouldn't get it again. The pizza thingie was ok. The soft square of bread was fresh, with two pepperoni rounds, a teaspoon of mild pizza sauce and a teaspoon of white cheese. I especially liked the bread. Lastly, the coffee. It was excellent. I ordered a cappuccino with oat milk. I commented on the fancy machines they use and the "barista" pointed under the counter and said it was a robot. So maybe they don't have a trained barista, just a button pusher because they have a coffee-making robot. Nevertheless, it was great coffee. That being said, I can't imagine coming here again.
