    Great coffee, white mocha latte with almond milk and cinnamon.   It was a baristas favorite!!!

    Great staff, quick order and delivery though the drive through...Even better tasting coffee!! Will be going back in the near future!

    damn fine cup of coffee

    Finally, a local coffee shop in my hood! Midtown Reality Coffee is located off of Saddle Creek, behind QT and by a laundry mat. It's a small building that is drive thru only, which is always a bummer to me because I prefer to be able to drink my coffee in a cozy little building at my leisure. Menu is decent, people seem really excited about the bulletproof coffee but I personally do not like it--I also do not follow a keto diet, so maybe that's why. They also serve goodies from my fav local bakery, Sweet Magnolias! Try the Raspberry White Mocha, it tastes like a Sees raspberry creme chocolate. :). Prices are average. Glad to have a new coffee spot in my area.

    Stopped for coffee and a scone. Yummy! Mostly drive-thru with small outdoor seating space. Friendly staff -and get your NE passport stamped.

    I was stoked to find bulletproof coffee on the menu. And a drive thru too! Cool neighborhood spot.

    Hardy Coffee Co. is such a gem in Omaha. I popped in for some much-needed fuel during a day of…read moreholiday shopping, and it ended up being the perfect stop. I ordered a loaded breakfast burrito, a cinnamon roll, and their holiday s'mores au lait, and every single item was a hit. The burrito was hearty, flavorful, and super satisfying -- a great balance of ingredients and clearly made with care. The cinnamon roll was soft, fluffy, and generously iced (definitely hard to share). And the s'mores au lait was absolute holiday perfection -- cozy, not overly sweet, and full of that nostalgic toasted marshmallow and chocolate flavor. The space itself is bright, welcoming, and has such a great neighborhood coffee shop vibe. The staff were friendly and efficient, even with a steady flow of customers, and it felt like a place you could easily settle into or recharge before heading back out. Highly recommend Hardy's whether you're taking a break from shopping or just looking for a cozy coffee stop. I'll definitely be back.

    Another shop for my Coffee Tour in Omaha!! Great coffee spot…read morein Benson! Plenty of seating throughout, HUGE actually. It's very accessible for all people. Ramps and shorter seating areas are in the front and corners of the building. The coffee was great, nothing insane to report that sets it apart from the rest but it wasn't a bad drink! Smooth, not sour espresso, nice oat milk to espresso ratio and enough syrup that it wasn't super sweet but still had a bit of flavor to it!

The shop is super well laid out and not cluttered and hard to shop, like a few other comic/collectible places we have been. As soon as we walked in, the attendants behind the register were so excited to welcome and help us find anything we needed. They came out to answer questions, and helped my husband find key issues he wanted (so we left with a lot of loot LOL) Aside from all the great comics, they also have collectibles, like plushies, Funkos, figurines etc. as well as a little spot for kids to play while their parents shop. They are called Legend Comics and COFFEE, and I was more interested in the coffee than the comics so I stopped in to the cafe while my husband perused everything. I got the Golden Caramel Latte, and it was extra delicious - not too sweet but still a little hint of the caramel to give you that sweet taste. My husband wanted to get a drink that was chocolatey, but without coffee. I asked the barista at the coffee shop if they had anything like that, and he actually made me something special on the spot. It was a frozen chocolate milk, and my husband went wild for it. I don't think it's on the menu, and was made impromptu, but you may be able to ask for that, if you want to try! There is a lot of seating at the cafe and also around the comic shop, including little benches, if you want to sit and pore over your potential purchases or if you're waiting for someone to finish shopping. Even though we spent way too much money here, I definitely recommend it if you're a comic collector/lover, as they have so many things to explore (both in comics and coffee) and you may find something new you love!

This place taught me a thing or two about vegetables, which delighted all of our senses, and I highly recommend trying a variety of their small plates. This is worth a few minute detour. If you live here, well then, lucky you! Our servers carefully detailed the menu and let us taste a new wine prior to ordering. The dinner service manager is knowledgeable and passionate about the dining experience. When we ordered the radicchio salad, I was skeptical that it would be bitter, but was curious to try it. My husband and I could have fought over it--it was that good! The cauliflower was roasted perfectly, and sat upon a sweet and spice infused puree called mahummara with crunchy pine nuts. The complexity of spices compelled us to try another bite, and then another... Roasted carrots are tender and sweet. Paired with cool yogurt and chili crunch, they ascend into another level of deliciousness. A tear of fresh bread across bits of remaining sauce, and then (not a minute sooner) "we are satiated, thank you!" and the server can take the plate. The restaurant is adjacent to a theater that shows unique offerings and they will sometimes coordinate events with menus. We liked the simple cafe style tables and openness. Ample parking is available in back.

The space is relaxed and has a welcoming vibe with two distinct seating areas offering a mix of tables, lounge chairs, and sofas. The music is at a comfortable level, with plenty of folks settled in on their laptops working and studying. Even though it was cold outside, I ordered a medium iced mocha. It was rich and chocolaty without being overly sweet. Despite a decent crowd inside, my drink was ready within minutes and service was genuinely friendly. Overall, this is a solid neighborhood coffee shop that's worth the short walk if you're staying nearby.

The cashier was friendly and helped me apply the eGift card that I had purchased. The Bees Knees Latte that I used to order is no longer on the menu, so I tried a Honey Bee, similar, just without the aromatics. Not as good, but I am sure I could have asked for something closer to the original latte, so that is not on them. Ambience is great, well decorated, and plenty of tables. The baristas were having a conversation that would be deemed inappropriate by many, especially since the young man had a few colorful things to say that got some good laughs from his coworkers; luckily, I don't mind hearing the gossip while I wait for my beverage. Fairly quick service considering how busy they were. I recommend stopping by if there is a free space open.
