Always the best experience at Crescent Moon! From the made-in-house food options to the local art on the walls. A visit is made even more fabulous if you go during a poetry or open music night. The service is always terrific and you will probably see someone you know whatever time you make it in. One of the most wonderful coffee shops in town!! The theme menus are brilliant!!! Thank you, Amanda and Team! read more

Regular street parking in downtown Lincoln. They have pastries and stuff. This visit- we came approximately 15 minutes to closing. They politely informed us that they were closing in 15 minutes. It's like a speakeasy in the basement. Really cool! A cafe equivalent of one. They do have wine and beers too. And snacks, pastries too. I will definitely come back. I love the coziness of this place. There are some lounge chairs and a couch available. I got me an iced Chai. It's nice n sweet with a strong cinnamon taste They sometimes have live music too. How cool is this!! Point to note: summer vacation = summer hours. They close at 4 pm in summer as they are usually run by students and have primarily a student clientele. I do believe they are lgbtq+ friendly. I saw the little rainbow stickers. Love it! read more

Fantastic coffee, breakfast crepe and sconce! Cozy and welcoming space. Friendly staff.

I love a coffee shop with natural charm. I had an iced maple spice oat latte. I was impressed that it was not overly sweet and I can still taste the espresso read more

Surprised my wife for a surprise coffee. We got in just before they closed for the day. It was very nice place down in the Haymarket in downtown. read more

Crescent Moon Coffee is a cute little coffee shop in the Haymarket Area of Lincoln, Nebraska. It's a hidden gem because you walk down stairs at the corner of 8th & P Street to find the spot. This place has delicious coffee, crepes and muffins! There are a ton of tables inside and lots of room if you'd like to study down here. Since it's close to University of Nebraska, this place can get crowded on a game day morning. Be ready to wait awhile on these days if you are ordering a crepe. The staff was super nice and friendly. You can find free parking on the street. I would definitely come back here again! read more

I loved everything about this place! I ordered the Hot Cortado and a Cinnamon & sugar crêpe. Both were super yummy!!! The ladies at the front counter were really nice. Was cool interacting with them when it was our turn to order and also when picking up our items. The coolest part was the awesome look of this underground café. It was like a cool modern day, non scary dungeon. Has plenty of seating, good size establishment. We enjoyed staying there and chatting a while. Will definitely be back and highly recommend!!! read more

We stopped in this morning after the Hozier concert. Thankfully the opened up earlier than some of the other coffee shops in the area, so we could get back on the road quicker. We ordered an americano, mocha latte, egg & cheese crepe, and a cinnamon sugar crepe. Everything we ordered was delicious and came out hot, delicious, and quick. If you're thinking about making this your breakfast destination, then we think you make good decisions. read more

Great Coffee and nice cozy place to relax. The cortado was perfect, nice and strong. The egg crepe was nice.

It is located downtown and downstairs. Nice quiet atmosphere! The egg and cheese crepe was delicious, perfect crepe flavor! The coffee was delicious too served in a wide mug to enjoy a full cup of Joe! read more

Needed a coffee shop off the highway so we ducked in here. Had coffee and a cinnamon roll. Both were really good. The space is very cute and comfy. The only negative was how unfriendly the staff were. read more

The drinks are AMAZING! I just ordered a hot chocolate and it is very flavorful. Some coffeeshops fail to make a basic hot chocolate, but this is awesome :) The service is great as well. The baristas are so personable and kind. They were very willing to accommodate us as we had just come in before they were closing. The ambiance was pretty quiet. I love it. read more

We stumbled upon this place during our recent trip to Lincoln. The staff was helpful answering all of our menu questions. Each member of our party ordered a different crepe. I got the banana and strawberry crepe. It was yummy, but I wished they had used fresh strawberries instead of defrosted frozen :( My daughter loved her Nutella and banana crepe and the muffins (pumpkin and blueberry) were a hit as well. I loved my butterscotch flavored coffee. Overall, our visit to Crescent Moon was a success! read more

What a lovely and charming space! crescent moon coffee is a hidden gem in the Haymarket. The reason I say hidden is because you have to go downstairs in the building to find it and if you walk up on the other side you don't see it. Trust me it's worth the look. . Beth waited on me and made me an absolutely amazing Correteado. What was so impressive is that called from the review on yelp and found them that way and found out that their hours were different they're open till six during the week and then 10 Wednesday Thursday Friday I hope I have those dates right. Beth was so friendly, helpful and customer service oriented. She even walked outside to show me where it was because I was walking around not being able to find them. How wonderful to have a business that serves great coffee and has a great staff. I saw people doing work, enjoying the surroundings, they have a stage and it looks like poetry night and a few other things. Highly recommend you check this place out it is it great experience all around. . Oh, and did I tell you the big all their baked goods in house? And that they offer wine and beer as well? read more

The coffee and latte were both good and the egg and cheese crepe was excellent. It was a bit difficult to find since it is in the basement and my wife wasn't able to do the steps. May need to share that info on their site. read more

Stopped by for a quick coffee togo. Had the Panamanian roast. It was deep and rich in flavor. Delicious! Cute underground style coffee shop. They have music or special events certain nights. Look forward to exploring this cute shop some more! read more

A bit tricky to find at first, but altogether a very cute space and the coffee was worth the trek. If I'm in Lincoln again soon I would love to go to one of their open mic events. The panini was just ok; I'd love to see more plant based options on the menu. TLDR; there was plenty of seating and I'll definitely be back for the coffee! read more

Excellent coffee and food. That's a huge thing coming from a proud Portland OR coffee-aholic Had a hard time finding it, as it's in the basement of an office building in downtown. But the atmosphere makes up for it! Very cozy. I went for breakfast, but the place seems to be geared for night and evening venues (music, poetry readings, etc) Would definitely try it at a different time, if I'm ever in Lincoln NE, again! read more

What a delightful little place! We decided to come based on a picture of one of their drink specials (Star Wars!!). Came in, and drink specials are Barbie! Yay! I got Totally Hair Barbie (cherry limeade), husband got the white mocha, and a couple grilled cheese paninis. Quick service to start out our last day of the road trip--heading home. read more

Came here with a group of my best friends, and the first thing you notice before you even enter the space is the wonderful coffee aroma. The entire place is lit very atmospherically, with a variety of seating and a small stage. The cashier who took our order was very sweet and patient with us as we figured out what we wanted. I'm not a coffee drinker myself, so I ordered a hot cocoa. My friend group ordered a hot cocoa, an americano, and two iced lattes. Our drinks were made super quickly and tasted absolutely amazing; this is the best hot cocoa I've ever had. read more

A little hidden gem in haymarket! I finally was able to try this place, literally the best tasting coffee in Lincoln. You can actually taste the flavor that the coffee says it's suppose to be!!! The matcha was delicious as well, with almond milk! Such a cool place staff was so friendly! I want to try the crepes next time! No frills here, serious coffee! Highly recommend coming here, you won't regret it! read more

Fun place to go. Love the atmosphere. Good coffee, I ordered dark roast, others got lattes

The latte was the best I've ever had in Lincoln, NE. The staff is super kind and goes out of the way to get to know you. I loved the chill atmosphere and spent a good four hours working while enjoying a couple coffees. Highly recommend! read more

Hello Fellow yelpers! First off I've walked past this place for years and never took the initiative to go in. This day was different with the rainy weather and the fact Marley wanted to study with a hot whiskey chai to sip on. The vibe in here is beyond chill as I drank an Irish coffee listening to Lana del Rey softly in the. Background. It's an amazing place to get their bomb af turkey caprese and study your evening away. The price was decent and well worth the atmosphere you sit in. Everything was made to order and hot out of the kitchen. Seating was good but could easily be full in no time. Yours truly, Austin's Yelp's read more

Such a gem. I had a delicious chai latte and panini. Lots of big study tables and quiet relaxing vibes on a Friday afternoon. If I was a student I'd be here all the time read more

Loved this place so much I came here twice. Had the vanilla iced latte, crepe, espresso shake. All was perfect! Lots of people getting the Barbie themed drinks. Cute dark underground seating with kitschy decor. Nice break from the heat . read more

The staff was polite, the food good but the coffee- the reason I went there - was horrifically under par. Go for the ambiance, the exceptional art work but sadly do not go for the coffee read more

it's alright! my friends and i were starving after the kancamagus highway drive and we're looking for lunch. we stopped in for sandwiches and i was honestly not impressed. it was cold white bread- not toasted or warmed. i got a veggie and the bread got soggy. just a handful of veggies thrown onto a piece of bread. if you're looking for ANYTHING to eat , it's fine but don't have high expectations. maybe their breakfast is better than their lunches read more

This place is the absolute cutest. It was not as hard to find as I thought it might be. The set up is great, and it's nice and warm and cozy. The first wasn't overly friendly with anyone, as I sat for awhile and watched the interactions. When I go to a coffee shot and order a double I don't expect the reply to be "so do you want a coffee or what". The other barista was much more friendly with customers. The espresso itself was good, definitely a darker roast with a bite! Will definitely come back if visiting again. read more

Crescent Moon Coffee - Double espresso - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

First! The goods: great location as long as you don't have to park. This also provides direct competition to The Mill, two doors down. Wi-fi worked fairly well. EMPTY. Maybe it's just not well-known, but I was one of only a couple of people in here. The bads: ad-driven wi-fi although, strangely, it was just a white bar with no ads that you could hide (although it came up again all the time). Coffee isn't great, but it's not outright bad either. They had a lot of other menu items that I'm sure you could have tried. If I were in Lincoln again and knew that the more popular places were going to be crowded, this would definitely be a good choice. read more

Fabulous location and having done the no sugar test on the cappuccino and passed with flying colors - will be hard to beat this. Panini is super tasty as well read more

Wow what a cool little coffee shop. Love the atmosphere of the place. Coffee was very good too.

I came here on my recent trip to Lincoln to drink tea and get work done, and was absolutely delighted by Crescent Moon. It's that rare spot that's perfect for both work and quiet chats, and it manages to be quite pleasant and comfortable despite being in a space with limited daylight. The tea selection is quite good, and I particularly liked the green tea with pear. There are some gluten-free snacks though mostly in the area of fruit and chips. Finally, the space is handicapped accessible! You can get a wheelchair or scooter in here, though the door doesn't have an automatic open button. What would need to happen for me to give this five stars: gluten-free bread. There are a lot of sandwich options, but they are only available to people who can eat gluten. read more
