Many friends have enjoyed their sandwiches ands tacos too. Also love their elote any way they make it. The newer electronic menu is frustrating as it moves too fast to read it. You can grab a printed menu if this creates chaos in your brain too. The wait staff is efficient and somber. The strip of buildings is in an unfortunately ever increasing shabby area. The amount of dirty gum, cigarette butts, trash and scary characters on the sidewalk and in front of the buildings is unfortunate and depressing. We still go though. It would be lovely if all of this could be cleaned and improved upon. Several of the businesses are quite nice to have in Lincoln but they are dotted with less than desirable business. There is a large trash can out front of the building on the corner but they don't really get used enough by the public. The landscaping on this block at one time was beautiful but it too is looking rougher by the year.

I almost missed it driving by, even though there were a few banners. Street parking available or there's a parking garage a few blocks away that has one hour of free parking.

It's located at the hay market in an old building along with other businesses. Not only can you indulge in yummy ice cream, you can explore different shops and restaurants after! The employees were friendly and probably annoyed at me for not knowing what I wanted lol. So I ordered the mini ice cream flight with six different flavors. My favorite was the peppermint brownie batter. They also offer samples which is a plus in my book. :)

We have been in Lincoln for four days and yet to find a place that served espresso drinks the way I…read morewanted them. And that had a good flavor of coffee. I tried The Mill, it was tolerable. I tried Meadowlark coffee too. It was tolerable, but not good. Being from Kansas City, I did not realize how fortunate I am to have several spots with their own blend of beans, and freshly air roasted beans while you wait. But I'm so glad we stayed an extra day because we came across Cultiva Coffee. It was about 10 minutes from our hotel and it was so worth it. They also had a seasonal crêpe that had strawberries and chocolate ganache. It was so good. No, it was excellent. My husband and I almost fought over the last bite. But we were certainly measuring up the size of the bites. Lol the atmosphere was so cute and original. I absolutely loved it. I took a minute to tell them how much I appreciated them before I left, but I'm also telling you now. In addition to the Coffee, I appreciated the Service. When I ordered, the young lady never made me feel like I needed to hurry with what I was gonna say or that I wanted too many details. I appreciate this as an older person. I get tired of the impatience of young people these days and she was very kind. And the person who made the drink, made it perfectly to my liking. Not too hot to where I had to wait to drink it, but not just warm like it had been cooling off. I admit, I am very critical when it comes to my cappuccino. That's why I make it at home most the time so I can have it the way I want it. So a place that checked all the boxes is rare to me. If you try this place, I hope you have the same experience.

Cultiva coffee is my new favorite coffee and breakfast place in Lincoln! Omg. The coffee quality is…read moreso good. I immediately knew after taking my first sip. I told the barista how I like my coffee, which is strong, iced and sweet. I also told her I was debating between the dirty Barcelona and iced Cuban. She recommended the dirty Barcelona and it did not disappoint. However I will say it was a little too sweet for me. I'll have to try the iced Cuban next time. Nonetheless, the coffee was absolutely delicious. I finished it quickly. In addition to the amazing coffee here, I trulyenjoyed their food!! They specialize in crepes, savory and sweet, omelettes, and pancakes! Don't sleep on their food y'all. I ended up ordering a build -your-own meal which consisted of a bagel, eggs, cream cheese, and three sides; salsa, chipotle mayo and sausage. Let's just say I ate and left no crumbs. Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Frfr. My toddler got the apple pie pastry, also a 10 out of 10!! There are board games and coloring pages for kiddos. Plus merchandise and coffee beans available for purchase. There's lots of seating inside and street parking outside. I'm definitely coming back here with more people and plan to spread the word about this amazing spot. 1000 out of 10 recommend. :)

We found this little ice cream shop in the Haymarket district in Lincoln NE! Perfect timing with the weather being 100+ degreed F! They offer 24 flavors of ice crean and sorbets; including options for vegans... I got two scoops of ice cream in a bowl. One scoop of the Jacked Up Tennessee Toffee and one scoop of Rush Hour! The ice cream nachos looked kind of fun. Staff was personable and friendly! Pricing of the Ashby's ice cream seems a little high compared to Baskin Robbins, etc...

The idea seemed to be another version of Cold Stone which I have had many times and am pretty mid on honestly. But I took the family hear for a quick treat to kill some time and I am converted!
