Need a pick me up in Nebraska? Driving along the highway on our road trip a gas stop drew our attention here. Espresso in bold letters. The promise of more energy and a sweet treat! I was checking out the sod museum next door and my husband surprised me with root beer floats and shots of espresso. Hit the spot! Daughter in law had an iced coffee but wasn't a fan of the undissolved raw sugar. Great pick me up on a long drive! read more

We stopped by this afternoon for frappe and first time test of ice cream. The Salted Caramel Espresso ice cream is really good, as was the frappe. read more

Coffee isn't bad, very dark roast on espresso - not a craft roast. Barista was very friendly and kind but I felt bad for her. My receipt had a $1 charge on a $3.40 of coffee because I used a CC (business expense) - you know the CC fees are a small percentage not 33% don't you? I guess the owner isn't so friendly and doesn't mind putting this stress on her workers because it sounds like a common complaint. In addition no restroom! Is that legal? We got sent to the gas station next door - it was snowy so that was a pain. Keep driving to North Platte or Kearney - this is a small town get ya stop. read more

freaking delicious cappuccino. Nice people. ice cream. once there was kind of a nerd to whom yelp said something absurd you can leave in your car but you can't leave five star reviews till you've written more words read more

Great coffee, cute store, friendly service. Even drive through service. Gas station parking lot is only knock.

Good prices, friendly staff, super cute interior, great drinks and ice cream. My daughter got a mocha that she couldn't finish, and the whipped cream was still holding up the next day! We've been driving all the way from California, and this was the best coffee shop of our trip. read more

Easy stop with great coffee if you're on your way through on I-80. I had an iced chai, my wife had a hot hazelnut latte, and both of us thought they were delicious. The place is both a drive thru and has some indoor seating, so you can either pop on and off the highway quick and easy, or stop and relax for a minute. read more

Total surprise, total delight! A few feet off I-80 and serves really good coffee and espresso drinks. read more

Lasso Espresso - Cute and surprising! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gothenburg, Nebraska

What's not to like??? The service is awesome! The drinks are awesome!! The location is awesome! A wonderful little oasis in the middle of Nebraska! We stop here almost every time we drive across Nebraska. It's always worth pulling off the interstate for a little liquid pick me up! read more

Stopped in this town to visit a local historical marker and wanted to support the local coffee shop. Definitely busy when we came so we went in kind of glad because we would've judge the book by the cover if if not. Cool little building with cool little knickknacks and crafts and gifts some of them look like local artist but just some unique different kind of things. A table to sit and have your coffee or play a game watch TV. The coffee menu was a little different and unique some of the same standard stuff the mocha salted caramel latte etc. some bakery goods pastries I like this little place. No restroom pretty good coffee well I should say pretty good salted caramel latte not really coffee that I had was still pretty good. I think they had some different very unique gifts coffee mugs a little bit overpriced but look like heavy duty good quality stuff. And thanks to yelp we found this place read more

No restroom for guests (minus one point) and they add on a $1.00 surcharge on a $4 coffee for using a credit card without telling the customers in advance, claiming it's a merchant processing fee. While there is a processing fee, it's not that much (subtract another 2 points). Moral of story be honest to customers and you will get better ratings. It could have been or . read more

I stopped here on my way passing by off 1-80 , it was honestly such a choice! The lady working the window was kind. The place was cute, and my Iced coffee was so good everything was a thumbs up from me!! I get really nervous ordering iced coffee lattes cause the ice makes it watery but it was perfect!! read more

Super friendly owner, a cute little sign in book, root beer floats, good iced lattes, and a fun little museum next door. What more could you ask for? Seriously worth it to stop in. read more

So cute! My cross country coffee shop tour went through Nebraska this summer... loved this adorable place. So sweet and friendly, and a great selection of flavors too. read more

Passing through Nebraska, needed to stop for gas here and decided to get some drinks - very glad I did. I got a Latte, a hot chocolate, and a blended caramel coffee. All were very good. Blended coffee was sweet without being too sweet, and it was probably the best hot chocolate I've ever had. Latte was also very good. Cute little spot, service is a little slow but we weren't in a rush and there was only one person working. Would definitely come back if I ever go back to Nebraska. read more

Super cute little coffee spot off the 80. I enjoyed their coffee and they even had non dairy milk options (I got almond milk). I like that there's space to sit and enjoy the view as well as a lovely gift shop packed full of local goods and handmade gifts. Bathroom is at the gas station but it's well worth the time spent if you want a pick me up. read more

Delicious treats, coffee & espresso. A pretty gift shop and great seating. Friendly and inviting

Very good coffee with great size options. Nice gift shop with good hard to find items. A little cluttered, but still comfortable. read more

Lasso is GREAT! It is such a cute little place right off the I-80 exit to Gothenburg. The first time I went, I was with a large group of Huskers and the Miss Nebraska from Gothenburg. She knew the owner and we all were served promptly. There is a great gift shop to occupy wait time and the menu is extensive. I like to get the peach jet tea here. It is a frozen drink with peaches and green tea, and the clincher is they put a Peachy-O around the straw!!! How cool is that???!!! I was sold. When I left Nebraska for Nevada, my first stop out of Lincoln was scheduled for Lasso Espresso in Gothenburg. My coffee-loving companion and I stopped here in the early morning hours. I got my peachy-o drink and she got something strong and coffee-esque. This made driving through Western Nebraska more fun than it would have been otherwise! Whenever you are on I-80 between North Platte and Kearney, stop here!!! read more

This was an wonderful surprise when we made a quick stop for gas and to stretch our legs. The mocha coffee drink I picked was delicious. So was the homemade ice cream my daughter enjoyed. read more

Friendly, quick service. Great espresso and scone. This is how coffee shops should be!! Cheers!

$10.19 for a large iced latte!!!!! Whoa!!!!! This will have to be a one time stop! read more

Just passin through and ordered a chai, authentic spot with great service... and they were playing Hall & Oates what more could you ask for.

If you want a reasonably priced coffee drink do NOT stop here. The drive through is fast and friendly but I was charged $6.20 for an almond milk latte (and by taste I'm pretty sure it was only one shot of espresso). If you are hard up for coffee and must stop here just be prepared for the sticker shock. They do have a varied menu with lots of options and food as well. Note:. They do charge an extra fee if you are using a card over cash. There is a sign in the window but the staff won't tell you that. read more

Everything! Great drinks, scones, muffins, and unique gift items. Also the staff is very friendly and helpful! read more

Driving across country and stopped for gas across this cute coffee spot. So glad I did!!! The barista was so nice and my caffe latte was delicious!!! read more

Stopped at this cute little coffee shop mid road trip, on my way to Idaho, from Michigan. The service I received was fast, friendly & very helpful when asking about drink recommendations. Not to mention the drink I ordered was excellent. Will definitely stop here again on my next trip! Thank you! read more

We were so happy to find a coffee shop that was open on a Sunday along i80! We were greeted by a very friendly barista, who knew her way around an espresso machine. She made us a delicious breve and latte. She happily refilled our water bottles (with ice) and was quite sweet to our 6 year old son. I would say it's a great stop for quality coffee. read more

Loved the lattes and the unique little items for sale. Staff was very nice. Great coffee stop right off I-80

What an awesome coffee shop! Delicious cup of coffee and latte for our trip across country. Cute gift shop with lots of local goodies. Nikki was very sweet, kind and helpful. So happy we decided to stop here! read more

Wonderful little coffee shop next to the cool sod museum. A must stop to both. Coffee was great and so was the service. Yummy snacks as well. Gluten free cookies but I did not buy because of price. I am marking this as a favorite. read more

Fun quick stop on long cross country drive. Great coffee, excellent/friendly service. We didn't eat anything. No bathroom but gas station across the was so can fuel and relieve and get excellent coffee right off the road read more

My fav when I'm road tripping to Colorado. Great espressos, pastries & knick-knacks, including fantastic huge coffee mugs.

Drive, drive, drive. Steam shovels (see a review in Boise) have now been replaced with... Corn. And more corn. Possibly also Children of the Corn, but that's why I'm driving eastbound on the I-80 at 125kmh, now, isn't it? (if someone in the Nebraska State Patrol reads that I was driving 77.7 mph in a 75 zone and mails me a ticket, I will still go I-80 the next time I drive cross country, solely because of Lasso Espresso). Ah! And that brings us to the actual point of this review! Lasso Espresso is a Washington State drive-up coffee place (though it has a proper coffee shop, too).... In the middle of central Nebraska. The coffee is also good, as good as any of the better locally owned joints would have around Vancouver where I live, and the service prompt even on a blisteringly hot summer day when my desire for a hot soy latte (and they did have soy milk) didn't bat an eyelash. There's something absurdly awesome about a real espresso joint in the middle of rural Nebraska, and moreover, the place really does have some of the best coffee I've enjoyed. Location pushes them to five stars, and I have to say, when you see the sign on the interstate, get off and dodge tractors on a state highway and pull up, you'll realize what the real meaning of oasis is! read more

Love this place. We always stop here on our way to and from Colorado. The iced chai tea is the best!

Tasty drinks and teas, chicken salad was a bit sweet for my tastes but not too bad. Liked the drive through makes it easy and convenient.

Excellent. They know what they are doing with coffee, espresso, etc. Baked goods I got were indedibly sweet, however. A 'scone' doesn't need a double handful of white chocolate chips AND dried cranberries in it! Coffee? Excellent. read more

This coffee shop is a gem out on the Prairie! We stopped for gas On our way home to Illinois and decided to get a coffee as well. Great shop, great coffee, great people running the place! read more

We had hot chocolate with added peppermint flavor and a cappuccino with a double shot. Both were REALLY tasty. The hot chocolate blows Starbucks away. Such a cute place too. I wod go there often if I lived near there (to me, it's in the middle of nowhere) Awesome- a must stop read more

Can you give a 0 star review? Driving across the state, in desperate need of coffee after an early morning start. I stopped in this little shop to support the local economy. A trio of people walked at the same time I did. The counter clerk greeted and started visiting with them, never once acknowledging that I was even in the shop. The drive-thru clerk had somebody at the window with nine orders. After standing at the order counter for about five minutes, the drive-thru clerk said eventually the other clerk would get to me. She never did. Eventually, I gave up, turned around and left with no coffee. The counter clerk never said a word to me. Still tired and now very disappointed. So much for small town customer service. read more
