The first drink I tried was the matcha, it wasn't very "fresh" tasting, almost like it was a mix, but it was good. The next time I got a chai and the avocado toast with tomato confit. I love a strong chai, I assume they could make it stronger, but I didn't ask. Overall I would come back, staff was kind and the atmosphere is cozy with seating in and outdoors!

I've been here a few times and I really want to like it but I have left disappointed literally…read moreevery time. It's a small cute coffee shop by the house but just lacks any sense of friendliness or even good customer service. I typically wouldn't review but I never got helped at the counter today after waiting for quite awhile. 5 people back there actively couldn't help me order a drink after waiting a good while. The food while decent Is rather overpriced and their coffee is truly mid at best. There are just too many coffee shops in Omaha that have gotten it right for this one to be so bad.

We were warmly greeted by the barista as we scoped out the cool letter board menu on the wall, and eyed the delicious looking pastries in the case (including some gluten free options]. I ordered an iced matcha with coconut syrup, as well as a cherry almond scone. As we waited for our drinks, we noticed that they have a little coffee roasting operation in the back, so cool! Loved all the warm leather seating and the coffee bags on the walls for decor. To top it off, the matcha and scone were fabulous! Definitely check this place out if you are in the area and need a pick me up.

They also had a few original beverages on their menu like white coffee and sweet mystery where it's barista's choice. What a playful spin on ordering!

I met my dear dear dear friend here for a coffee and catch up…read more I opted for a SF latte and some avo toast. WOW it is just always so good and savory I always want more, even though the bread is very thick and hearty and topped with heaping piles of avocado. I opted for a little balsamic glaze and it was divine! Always a great time at Zen, plus I got to see the new expansion. It's a great spot for meeting, working, or catching up with friends.

I recently visited Zen Coffee Company for the first time. Since I've been avoiding caffeine lately,…read moreI was hoping for a good selection of herbal teas. They only offered one herbal option (lavender mint) but unfortunately I could only taste the mint and didn't notice any lavender. They did have other caffeine-free drinks available, but I was looking for something unsweetened and low in sugar. The space was also different than I expected. Based on the name, I imagined a cozy, relaxing atmosphere with comfortable lounge seating. Instead, the décor felt a bit mismatched, almost like the café had expanded over time and the two sides were decorated very differently. That said, one thing they absolutely got right was the amount of seating. There were plenty of tables and space to work, study, or catch up with a friend without feeling crowded. The biggest downside was the cleanliness. The bathroom didn't feel clean, there were stains on the floors, chipped paint and damaged walls, crumbs around the couches and on some of the chairs, and the dish return bins were noticeably dirty inside. I stayed for about 90 minutes, and during that time I didn't see any cleaning happening, even though there were several areas that clearly needed attention. None of these issues alone would have been a dealbreaker, but together they made the café feel neglected and took away from what otherwise could have been a much more enjoyable experience.

Getting the Coffee Passport has helped me discover so many new places, and this week's stop was…read moreStir Coffee Bar. The shop is on the smaller side, but it wasn't too busy on a Saturday morning, and we had no problem finding a table. I noticed several people working on their laptops, so it seems like a great spot to get some work done or just relax with a coffee. I ordered an iced oat milk latte and a cinnamon roll bread pudding. The bread pudding was SO GOOD. I would honestly make the drive just to have that again. They also offer a variety of toasts and pastries if you're looking for something to eat. One thing I always appreciate about coffee shops is when they feature products from other local vendors, and Stir had a nice selection of things like jewelry, mugs, and puzzles. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'm glad the Coffee Passport brought me here. I'll definitely be back for that bread pudding!

The first time walking in, the overall atmosphere was very calm and quiet, nice relaxing…read moreatmosphere. I liked the little gift shop and the cozy couch and chairs. Ordering took me a while because I had never been there and just looking over the menu I was expecting more combinations to choose from but it is very much build your own. I enjoyed the seasonal menu although I did think the tiramisu cold foam was a drink because it was under drinks but it was just a topping. I did get a vanilla latte with the tiramisu cold form and it was DELICIOUS! I would definitely try it again the next time I go. The barista that helped me was very kind and friendly. She helped me make the best selection. The types of milk you can get is Oat, Coconut, whole cream and half and half, I did wish they had a skim milk option but the coconut milk was very good in my latte. My sister ordered a Blueberry Matcha Tea, she enjoyed it and said the blueberry wasn't a strong flavor profile. I would recommend stopping in and getting a drink and having a nice conversation with someone.

"It's 9 o clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in ..." And though it hasn't been open…read morethat long, it did seem as though there already were regulars, as well as newbies filling up Holy Grounds -- as well as the parking lot and surrounding streets this past Saturday morning. What went well? Delicious latte and cinnamon roulade. Im not a big fan of cinnamon, and the roulade had the perfect light touch -- both with the cinnamon and in the flaky pastry. Staff is friendly, and orders are filled quickly. Everything is really clean and fresh, and the outdoor space during the waning days of summer and impending autumn is quite inviting. What might not be so nice? This Place is quite large ... but does not have sufficient parking for the weekend surge, nor does it have much room for turning around once you've unfortunately committed to that already full lot. Park on the street to avoid the hassle. Enter the shop and you're smack in the middle of the line to order. It's a little disconcerting as folks in line want to leave the doorway space clear for entrance and exit, but then folks coming in arent sure where to go to actually get in line. Maybe a velvet rope and arrow to direct traffic? Again, this place is quite large -- with very high ceilings. That means it's LOUD, not exactly a cozy coffee vibe. I thought I'd heard they do Bible studies here during the week. That sounded lovely, until I found myself leaning over the counter each time the barista asked me a question because I had no clue what she was saying. How would that study work when you are constantly raising your voice to be heard? Finally, though my roulade was delish, as was my friend's (ugh) pumpkin spice latte, her iced pumpkin bread left much to be desired. The icing was cracked and falling off and the center of the slice still was cold, suggesting "fresh" from the freezer, despite having been warmed behind the counter. I bet this turns into quite the gathering place. I'd visit again, but on a nice day when I can sit outside. Sorry, no pics this time!

I've done same day pickup for cakes they have already made, but I've also ordered a few days ahead if I want to request anything particular. My absolute favorite is their chocolate mousse cake! I've gotten it for my past 2 birthdays and a few work parties as well. It's always beautifully made and has THE best taste. Not too sweet and NEVER dry. The layers keep it soft. They always do a fun decorative border too.

Everything was sooo good! My only wish is that they had a larger selection because I wanted to try even more! Seating inside is pretty limited, so it's not the best place if you're planning to linger. That said, it's perfect for grabbing a box of fresh pastries or desserts to take home. We'll definitely be back the next time we're craving something sweet or want to bring something that will make someone's day.
