Fig is perfect pit stop to grab coffee and lunch or a snack, particularly for its location (proximity to the Luminarium, Discovery Park, & the airport). The natural lightning and river views help to create a nice and relaxing space, while still casual enough that you don't feel bad bringing kids in. They source pastries from Lola's, and from the main food menu, I typically gravitate towards their hummus plate & grilled chicken. My only small complaint is that the sandwich breads we've tried are a little plain / underwhelming, but I just stick to the salads. Plenty of parking as well, so an all-around gem! read more

I stop here often. It's the best place to eat at Lewis and Clark Landing. It's the only place so I'm glad the food is good. I have been coming here since it opened. In the earlier days, it seemed like some of the menu items were too salty or whatever. But once they got established I have been happy with the experience every time. This is a restaurant attached to a science museum (but it can be entered separately). I go to a lot of museums and this food is miles better than most food you can get at most museums. I like that they offer items from local businesses such as Lola (for baked goods), Grove (juices) and Fermented Felon kombucha. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Windows are huge with a great view of the river. They serve a good iced tea, which can be not so good at other places. Also a nice hot drink selection. I like to go for a walk across the river, then come here and relax with a brownie or a slice of sweet potato cake. There is an entry fee to the museum if you want to go...or you can just meander over to the gift shop for free. It's a really good gift shop, if you are a nerd like me. read more

During the winter it's easy to eat at the convenient, overly fried and greasy places. I am thrilled to have found Fig, where every bite tastes fresh! I stopped in for a company admin meeting and ordered the roasted carrot sandwich and I added an order of fries. This sandwich was so refreshing and everything was cooked perfectly. Ingredients tasted fresh, good presentation, and didn't take long to be made from when I ordered. My only, slight critique for this sandwich would be maybe adding some sort of sauce. The hummus was good but has a pretty neutral flavor. I think the addition of hot honey, chimichurri or something along those lines would really bring this sandwich to the next level. My coworker ordered a Lox Bagel and goodness gracious, that looked good. I might try it next time we meet her for the next admin meeting. This establishment is inside the Luminarium building and has a view of the river. It was clean, pretty and relatively quiet. Great place for a company gathering, or friend get together. I also LOVE that this place composts their waste to keep material out of the landfill. I love supporting companies dedicated to reducing waste. read more

Fig - Lox Bagel - Cafes Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

How nice to have a fresh, made to order, cafe located right inside the Luminarium. Fig boasts fresh bakery items daily, a coffee bar to quench your thirst, and a chef-inspired menu to enjoy lunch. While our group ordered quite a few things, I only tried their fried chicken sandwich and fries. This sandwich is a massive chicken filet that could be two sandwiches in one it's so big! Crispy, savory, and extremely filling! Whether you're visiting for the day, or just want a delicious lunch, make sure you stop by Fig. I can't wait to try more on their menu next time I'm at the Luminarium! read more

Fig - Chicken Sandwich - Cafes Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

This is such a beautiful space! There are great views of the riverfront, and there is plenty of seating, including outdoor seating! It's an open kitchen and bar area so you can see the barista working hard. The menu is simple but most of the best coffee shops have a simple menu. They also had a number of pastries in the window available. that looked great. The Wi-Fi was reliable as I worked there while I enjoyed my vanilla latte. It was a little sweet, so next time I'd just ask for less syrup. Parking was also really easy, which usually can be an issue downtown, but they have plenty of parking for the Luminarium and playground area. The few things I would change would be comfier seating, slightly more affordable prices and mugs without such larger surface area (my latte got cold quickly). I honestly could have posted up to work from there all day and order multiple items, but with the hard seats and higher prices keeping me from order more, an hour or so was good for me. I do plan to return to try some of their food! read more

Had some amazing coffee this morning! I got an iced vanilla latte and it was so tasty! If you're looking for dozens of flavors this isn't the place for you, but if you're looking for quality coffee you should check it out. I've gotten food in the past and loved that as well. Beautiful on a nice day to go sit outside or walk around the river front or check out the luminarium. read more

Stopped in for my complimentary coffee from the "Omaha Places Passport", and we stayed for lunch! It is beautiful inside. I got the bowl and my husband got the burger. It is definitely on the more expensive side. For 2 entrees, my bowl had no protein, no drinks no sides it was $35! Nice to have this connected to the Kiewit Luminerium, and down on the riverfront! Does not take reservations. Is decently big with inside and outside seating. Complimentary parking! read more

Even though there is a lot of construction going on along the riverfront right now, this is worth a visit. Whether you eat inside in the light and beautiful dining area, or bring your drink and food outside to the patio, it's a delightful experience. Everyone was friendly and eager to serve. A great place to stop for a drink or a bite to eat after visiting the Luminarium next-door, playing volleyball in the sand volleyball pits nearby, or rollerskating in the skate ribbon. A great addition to all that's going on in downtown Omaha! read more

Spring and fall months, Fig offers a Supper Club one evening per month. During lovely weather, supper club is outside with a lovely view of the Missouri River. . You can sign up for Supper Club on Fig's website to reserve your seat. . Supper club is a multi- course family-style dinner. The table is one big long table and you sit with strangers who become your new supper friends. Last nights dinner theme was created by Fig Chef Tyler and Lola Chef Corina in a Central American theme. It was a multi-course dinner with wine pairing (additional charge). The stand out dishes for me was the beet citrus salad, so perfect for a late summer dinner. I loved the barbacoa and house made tortillas because the meat was luscious, perfectly seasoned and melted in my mouth. I adored the tres leche dessert too, and I normally don't love desserts (weird I know). . Super club is a delightful monthly event, and perfect for a special night out, and an experience with pure joy and happiness. read more

Came here solely from the name (also very convenient for walking the pathway to the pedestrian bridge). I prefer a warm feel to coffee shops, this was a little more sterile feeling. The coffee was not anything special, it wasnt bad but for the price I felt a little jipped. The pastries looked good! They get them sent in from a local bakery. read more

After walking around the Luminarium for a couple hours, we worked up an appetite and stopped in to get some pastries from their cafe (Lolas) because they're absolutely amazing and the views also didn't hurt. There's a plenty of variety of drinks and wine beer seltzers. There were a lot of folks dining in and I was envious of all the plates! with all the sunlight coming in it's an absolutely dreamy spot to come Work get a bite to eat and bonus to be near the luminarium. Before I could order I was greeted by two different baristas who were so friendly and smiley. Can't wait to come her for a real meal. read more

I had stopped here to get a quick little drink and I was so pleased with how speedy the service was! I had ordered a hot chocolate and it was just what I needed. The large windows on the surrounding walls make this space perfect for a quick bite with a view of the river front. I did try going a few days prior but I was a little disappointed that they didn't have any hours posted; online it says they're open every day. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this location if you are hoping for some natural light and tasty options. read more

Decided to stop at a small business to get coffee. And everything has been wonderful, it is my third stop. It is the best vanilla latte decaf with oat milk that I have ever had. They have a great menu with lunch: sandwiches soup and snacks and kids menu. Great selection of pastries, gluten-free and they are from Lola's. Service was great, drinks were made quickly and efficiently. Prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend to stop here and there is great outdoor seating. It's quiet and the outdoor seating has a fabulous view. You can sit inside, big windows to see the water. Relaxing atmosphere. read more

Looks pretty. Maybe they'll get better once they're open longer. Asked for an iced coffee because it's 100 degrees today and clearly got hot coffee with ice dumped in. The coffee was obviously watered down and barely any ice. Only drinking it because it's so hot out. Had to ask for more ice just to make it cold! Asked for more ice and they added ice and randomly added more vanilla so now it's sweet water. I'm so confused at this point lol. Appreciate the gesture but I didn't ask/or want that. Ordered a sandwich and the bread was BURNED BLACK. Parents took all the crust off just so they could eat it. Why serve this? That's just lazy and low standards. Wouldn't come back. Overpriced in my opinion and I wouldn't have served any of this to a customer knowing it was going to be like this. Just tell us you're out or don't served iced coffee or burnt bread. I would've been understanding and went elsewhere. Waste of money. read more

Look out, there's another brunch location in town! Located in the new Illuminarium at the waterfront Fig offers a casual yet sophisticated location for breakfast, lunch, small entrees and everything in between all day long with great views. Note that they are closed on Tuesdays so check their website for any changes to their operating hours. Indoor and outdoor seating is available weather permitting. There is a separate entrance to the restaurant that allows you to peek into the gift shop and lobby of the Illuminarium if you don't have time to check out this latest attraction in downtown Omaha. Fig is run by the same owners of Lola's at the film stream in Dundee offering a farm to table with many vegan and healthy food options. Ordering is done at the counter and food is brought to you at the table. Your ticket can be left open so you can keep adding on and do what we did is try almost everything on the menu! Fig offers a wonderful variety of pastries and cakes to accompany their standard venue items and a number of specials that change regularly. Great coffee options with a well trained barista is a nice way to accompany any meal or just grab a refresh in the afternoon along with a light snack. We started with a large cheeseboard for the table in order to allow us to study the menu. Cappuccinos were awesome along with a variety of non-alcoholic beverages are available. All of our food options were creative, fresh, and well prepared. Not your typical American breakfast menu, but definitely a selection that allowed us to try a little bit of everything. Service was exceptionally pleasant, attentive, and interested in ensuring we were satisfied with what we ordered I highly recommend that you stop in and check out this niche location that will definitely get more popular once all the access roads are open by the riverfront. We were in early in the morning which allowed for us to enjoy a fairly open restaurant however, things started to pick up about noon when the first wave of Illuminarium guests were coming in for food. A wonderful new option for a great experience. read more

Server was really nice. I forgot to get his name. He recommended the pickled mushroom grilled cheese which worked for me because of the combination of sweet and savory and tangy. I had to run to catch my flight or I'd have stayed a bit longer. Really beautiful views of the river while I got some journaling done. Worried I came off of rude toward the end but I was really jittery off the great cup of coffee I had. read more

I was very impressed! Usually an eatery connected with a busy museum/exploratorium is mediocre at best but Fig was no simple eatery. While they did have quick-grab items on one side of the register, the other side is a genuine spot with a thoughtful menu and a calm spot to relax. The friend I was with had asked for no mayonnaise on her breakfast sandwich. Well they accidentally put Mayo on the sandwich and then took a bit to re-make the sandwich...so they took the whole thing off our bill! I had ordered a lunch special item and really enjoyed it. Overall I highly recommend this place. read more

We came here for lunch on a Saturday. It's a beautiful open space - lovely to spend a Saturday afternoon in! We both loved our food and got coffee as well.

I went here with a friend on a weekday morning. The city has spent a LOT of money building up the downtown area in the last few years. This business is just the cherry on top. It is connected/adjacent to the Luminarium. Fig is very open with high ceilings. There is great views from every vantage point of the riverfront and the nearby playground. I had a cortado to drink and then the daily quiche which featured chorizo with potatoes, cilantro, and onion. It came a small salad with vinaigrette. You order at the counter and then given a number. I don't know if it's required; but I then bussed my own dishes. The space is quite nice. I got the feeling that, probably because it's so new, that they are still working out some issues. I don't think I would make a trip specifically here since it's kind of out of the way. But, if I'm ever in the area, I would try it again. read more

We stopped in today after looking at a near by property. I placed an order Lox bagel from server Max. I paid for the order tipped 20 percent and then the server Max A said Ye Ha. Never been thanked for my business in this manner so, I politely said I didn't understand to which he said again Ye Ha. I told him again I didn't understand to which he said " you know like a cowboy" I'm not sure as to the meaning and or reference but it was at the very least uncomfortable. We will not be going back . read more

We got two sandwiches with sides of fries and one canned soda and it cost $50. It also took a long time to come out and we had to go to the counter to ask for condiments & get our own silverware. The gluten free bun was so tough and the burger was very greasy & unseasoned. I couldn't eat it. Will not come again. read more

Gorgeous space. Loved the representation of different Omaha business: they have bread and pasties from Lola's and Artemis teas. The food is good but simple. We enjoyed vanilla lattes the seasonal quiche as well as the turkey sandwich. My only complaint is that sandwiches don't come with sides. So, the meal is pretty plain. Other than that it really is an enjoyable place with beautiful views. read more

We went to visit for lunch over winter break when kids were out of school, maybe our mistake. It was packed and our food took forever. We got the sweet potato sandwich, winter salad with chicken and cranberry pound cake. Food was good, but not great, especially compared to their sister store Lola's. Very expensive also, probably because of the proximity to the Luminarium, but I don't see us coming back here anytime the Luminariam is open. Lola's will continue being our go to! read more

Wow! Great coffee/espresso and vegan options right near airport. If open skip the junk at eppey field and come here. Quick service,too!

It's hard to find. I walked around the entire Luminarium because unfortunately I parked on the far end (away from the playground). For your reference, it's closest to the playground. Better signage would be helpful. The food was mediocre at best and definitely overpriced. I paid $25 for a cup of tomato soup and a mushroom grilled cheese thinking it'd be elevated or something. Nope. Just expensive. Maybe I ordered wrong. But I mean $25? I will say the ambiance is nice. Lots of light and space. I would simply recommend a coffee and pastry here. Hopefully they reevaluate their prices or step up their offering. I am a HUGE fan of Lola's. read more

Best quiche I've had in years!! Crispy, flaky crust and tons of flavor in the filling. Delicious!

This place has a lack of communication. Everyone we come the kitchen is allegedly closed and yet I see tables eating. The website says 7 pm and yet here it is 5:55 pm and the kitchen is closed. There is a lack of clear communication. I understand you're a new place but come on. read more

A beautiful setting with over priced, mediocre to bad food and super slow delivery. Took half an hour to get a sandwich and burger! The burger was two charred small patties and an over sized bun.

Ridiculous prices, slowest service ever, lousy menu, terrible food, unfriendly staff, boring atmosphere. That about sums up our experience. Prices? Who pays $17 for an overcooked hamburger in Omaha, Nebraska? Apparently, I do. Oh, and if you want fries or a salad with that burger kindly add five bucks. No drink, of course. Service? After twenty five minutes we inquired about our order. The manager said five more minutes. Ten minutes later the food arrived, delivered by an uninspired, unfriendly server. The previously mentioned hamburger was inedible. Likewise with the chicken fingers. They were so overcooked and dry that they, too, were inedible. Menu? If you prefer a trendy, white wine sipping, California style menu with items containing words like Arugula, pesto, hummus, roasted cauliflower, and "sparkling" then this place is for you. It is definitely not a traditional menu one would expect from a midwestern tourist destination. It is more suited for the the pinky finger extended type crowd. The dining area is 21st Century sterile and boring. Mostly glass and metal with cheap tables and chairs. Totally uninspiring, except for the excellent ceiling lights. I agree with Jim C. I will NOT be going back. Fool me once.... read more
