A friend brought me back here after a long hiatus, and I'm disappointed that it took me so long to come back. Great service, amazing food, and homemade desserts. Can't wait to go back! read more

I came here while visiting friends in the area. Overall, the food was good and you're given a lot of it. This Breakfast/Brunch gem features a U shaped bar flanked by booths on either end of the room. Walking into this place feels like walking into a Time Machine from when it was opened in 50s or 60s (website said 1968). Regardless it hasn't changed much and that's the charm of it all. The background story of who Harold was captures the American spirit and the wall decorated with his war medals brings it all home and bolsters the charm of this place. In addition to Harold's story, the business also has some Hollywood charm. We sat diagonal from the booth that Jack Nicholson sat in for the 2002 film "About Schmidt" where he played a retired insurance agent from Omaha (the film was also mostly filmed on location). You'll know if you're in the booth because there is a gold plaque commemorating the booth. The servers were fast and friendly. This diner is known for their homemade cake donuts, cinnamon rolls, and pecan rolls; we unfortunately did not partake as we were too full. Prices were reasonable and as stated before, you get a lot of food. Bottom line: if you need a brunch spot and you have the time, go check out this dime of a diner...you won't regret it. read more

The food is good here. Coffee is hot and fresh. It's a busy spot with early hours, but a treat for fresh donuts, coffee and conversation. It's mostly booths in a room of nostalgia. We go often on a Saturday morning as a start to our weekend errands. We took our teen granddaughters on this visit and there was something for everyone to eat. Parking is right outside the building. read more

Stepping into Harold's Koffee House is almost like stepping back in time. It's set up probably how it was set up when it first opened decades ago. So the feel of it is old town diner vibes along with the kindness that also goes along with service from decades ago. When we moved into the area one of the favorites of the previous owners was Harold's Koffee House. We knew we had to try it! Each time we've gone we've always liked our food and the coffee is pretty good too. I've since gone with my sister, boyfriend, and also picked up a dozen of their homemade doughnuts as well. I usually like their corned beef hash but also tried their eggs, meat, and toast meal too. As you can see by the photo added the hot chocolate is worth a try too! Definitely the perfect addition to a greasy spoon diner meal. I mean that with lots of love too! Harold's is a staple out this way on 30th and I'm thankful it's stood the test of time and a pandemic and we still get to enjoy it today! I hope you get to too! read more

My experience at Harold's was fantastic. I love this place. I love how you can tell there are regulars there and the option to sit at the bar. A place frozen in time. And the food was spot on. Great portions and prices. Nothing fancy but hits the spot. Harold's will be in our regular rotation! Wished I would have tried it sooner! read more

I have heard about Harold's Koffee House several times since I've been in Omaha, and so we finally got a chance to check it out. Upon entering, we were pleasantly surprised at how cute and kitschy the inside was. It felt as if we had walked through the door to 30 years ago. The waitstaff seemed to be mostly female and they were all pleasant and busily running about serving customers. Where our experience fell short was the food quality. I tried the sticky bun (not sure if it is called that everywhere) and IMHO it didn't seem to contain real caramelized sugar, but instead something akin to Caro or corn syrup. The biscuits and corned beef hash (and I suspect other things) are not made in-house. You won't find the quality food that you would in a place such as La Peep, and yet the prices rival those types of places. I didn't even really think the coffee was worth a return visit. I loved the "vibe", but the charm ends there. read more

Incredible fluffy pancakes that are as tasty as they are enormous! I barely managed to take down one, but the leftovers weren't bad later on. It's hard to find true homemade hash browns on a menu and Harold's really delivered! They did need a little salt but the flavor was right on. Great texture too. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I also enjoyed the diner vibe. I'd heard about this place over the years and its cinematic moments, but I wasn't disappointed. It could use a little TLC, but the inside is charming. I had excellent, friendly service and truly enjoyed my breakfast. read more

Glad to have found this breakfast spot. Housed in a mid century meets diner decor it has a nice mix of counter and booth seating. The wait staff is attentive and efficient at keeping the orders coming while keeping your coffee filled. The food is great - we've been in a couple of times now and everything has been delicious and enough for a sizable take home box. If you enjoy quality food in an authentic locally owned setting, this is something to try. read more

Traveling through, on our way to the airport we found this hidden treasure. This place is absolutely amazing. The service, the atmosphere, and food. Everything was priced correctly for the value of the food! The bagel was griddled, giving it that toasted yet buttery soft component. The bacon was perfectly crispy, and you can tell was properly prepared. (Not the night before but that morning.) the hash browns are house made. They were perfectly cooked. Even our eggs, we ordered over medium, and they actually came out over medium and not over easy. I would highly recommend this breakfast spot! Since it was our first time coming, they also gave us each a free donut. Which I happily ate, I ended up getting powered sugar on my black pants, which I wore as a badge of honor for the remainder of the day lol . Great place, great pricing, and great food. read more

We have talked about eating at Harold's for years and today was our day. It is a cute little place. The turquoise booths won me over right away. The historical photos on the wall are a nice touch. Wish it wasn't so cool owned so we could walk around and look at them. The young person that seated us was calm and collected dealing with some picky customers. Our server was We lucked out and walked in and were seated right away. Since we have been here the line for a table just keeps growing. The hot chocolate is good served in those heavy old school mugs I remember from my childhood. We ordered the Susie's Special with a pancake and a Pancake Combo. We also tried a plain donut. read more

Harold's Koffee House - Our second cups of hot chocolate. It's a perfect drink for a cool rainy August morning. Yep. I said August - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

If you want a small diner feel I highly recommend. The service was immediate and very attentive. The coffee was actually pretty good too! My husband got 2 breakfast burritos, and I got the special of the day which was 2 slices of French toast, two sausage links, and two eggs. Prices were fair and the food was amazing. Honestly, the best French toast I have ever had. I'd go back just for the French toast again. My husband who said he doesn't like French toast tried it and ended up finishing the rest for me once I couldn't eat any more. We'll definitely be back! read more

When I think of "neighborhood diner," Harold's Koffee House is what comes to mind. Walking inside, it's like you hopped in a time machine that took you back to the 60s- vinyl tables, vintage-styled menus, and "diner blue" painted walls. This place is another friendly diner where servers know you by name and have your order preferences memorized. They did not spare on portions, and the prices still reminded me of pre-inflation prices- you'll get your money's worth here! They offered medium-strength diner coffee with bottomless refills and all the cream and sugar my heart desired. Harold's is an excellent, unhurried spot off 30th Street to have breakfast and/or lunch. Will definitely be stopping by if I'm in the area again! read more

Great friendly breakfast spot with that old fashioned diner feel I love (but not too much "old fashioned" that it becomes acceptable to be grimy or dirty at all). The food was delicious as well and service was friendly in all the welcoming ways you would hope. Slightly out of the way but worth a drive from wherever you are in omaha! read more

Went there for breakfast and it was a throwback to an old coffee house cafe! The interior brought back early memories of diners with my grandparents. The food was well portioned and very tasty! The service was great as well, we always had a coffee warmer and condiments were stocked right at the table. Definitely a place we will return to and highly recommend. read more

Stopped in for another fabulous "House Special" and Koffee before heading up the road to acquire my first kick-off "stamp" on the 2024 Nebraska Passport at Mormon Trail Center at Winter Quarters. Since the theme of the Passport day is history, I've added a photo of the back of the updated menu, which features the history behind Harold's Koffee House (from the large "FOOD" sign, retaining the misspelled "koffee," and Historic Florence). Service again is A+ as they're always hopping. read more

Harold's Koffee House is probably one of my most favorite places for breakfast. Yes, they do have lunch options too, but their breakfasts are what I keep going back for! Harold's has the best pancakes I've had in a while and often times I find myself wanting to go there for their corn beef hash. Service here is always great! Everyone is friendly and attentive. They even seem to anticipate what you need before you even think you need anything! read more

Harold's Koffee House - Nacho Breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Visited Harold's while in Omaha with my family it's a great hometown diner for brunch. The house coffee is a must try it's got a special something to it and they manage to keep it full no matter how fast you can drink it. I enjoyed steak and eggs dish, it was cooked just how I asked for with a biscuit and gravy. which happens to be full of flavor bits on its own. We found there is a very neighborly feel that welcomes you right in. seconds after I entered I was greeted and found a cozy vintage booth fallowed by the famous koffee blend. 10/10 recommended for traditional brunch with the fam or solo read more

We have been in a few times and it has been great. We came in and it was packed. We prefer to sit at a booth. We sat at one of the two places available. One of them had normal chairs. We sat at the big booth. As soon as we sat down an employee came over and told us we aren't allowed to sit there because it's for big parties and told us we had to move. It was very rude and unprofessional. He didn't know we had two more people coming. Never coming back. read more

My favorite thing about this breakfast spot is the set up. The retro booth and horseshoe loop where the servers just cruise back and forth in is so fun! There are also half booths (lovingly referred to by many, okay probably just me and a few people, the cuddle booth). My go to order is a berry granola pancake (I tried the waffle for at this time and will probably stick with my normal pancake option) and an order of hash brown extra crispy!! They know how to do hash browns and who doesn't love fruit and granola in a giant pancake?! Looks like they started serving cold brew. Our waitress was so amazingly fast I said yes to coffee before even getting to check out the menu. FYi- They aren't doing to-go orders on the weekend. read more

Harold's Coffee House has existed for more than 60 years. With that kind of staying power it's no wonder that it gets listed in best-places-for-breakfast lists in Omaha. We agree. Bookguy's steak was perfect and his over easy eggs were spot on. The pancakes were tender and the hashbrowns were homemade, not the usual shreds. My veggie scramble was one of the best I have had due to the plethora of veggies. It was a very generous portion as was the order of hashbrowns, so of course I had leftovers for another meal. Instead of toast, I had a biscuit which tasted like homemade. In addition, the prices were surprisingly low. Add to that an expert, personable waitress and it was a winner all the way. read more

I hope it was just an off day for Harold's. We had not been there for a while.Normally food is good. We were seated close to the kitchen and were subjected to cooks yelling, talking from the kitchen to the wait staff that were out in the seated areas. There was one guy refilling sauces and repeatedly complaining how if sauce gets on his hands it makes him sick. Omelette was stuffed with ham and very little cheese. Kept biting into something crunchy like egg shells. Harold's is usually casual with good food not chaotic with below average food. Service was good except she was yelling back and forth too. read more

The service was great and the food came out hot and delicious. We liked the cozy cafe atmosphere.

My fiancé and I stopped into Harold's after a local recommended it to us. I had the house special and he had the breakfast nachos. My house special read very subpar, but my finances nachos were pretty good. The service on the other hand, was not good at all. There seemed to be 2 servers in the small cafe, but it wasn't crazy busy. Our waitress never checked on us after we got our food, which was kinda frustrating since she forgot some of our order. We tried flagging her down, but she kept walking away from our table. That being said, the food was good for the price, but I'm not sure if we'd go back. read more

I think expectations are in order here: this is a country diner, not a spot in downtown. It seems like a lot of people know each other --lots of familiar talk, updating etc. So basically like what your image of a smaller town diner might be. As a cultural experience if you've spent much of your time in bigger cities it is worth a visit. So I say all of this because honestly, I didn't find the food to be all that appealing. I finished maybe a third of the scramble. The very busy waitress was nice and checked in and also refilled the coffee. Prices are cheap. Like, make you wonder if you stepped into a time machine and left a few decades earlier. A lot of people like it. So maybe you will too. read more

My wife and I are long time customers. Great food, wonderful vibe and reasonable price. I love the veggie omelet but it's all good. Lunch specials are also worth a try. The hot turkey sandwich is great and the meat loaf mountain is epic. Sorry to post a rave but Harold's is that good. read more
