The baristas there are incredibly kind and took the time to spark conversation with me, making me feel welcomed. One example was how Olivia (one of the baristas there) would ask me how my work was coming along with my dissertation and took interest in it! How cool is that?! She found it fascinating and remembered all that about me and it made me feel seen and felt like I had a home there. Every time I entered those doors, my spirits were lifted with encouragement and motivation accompanied by the scent of amazing coffee. Rarely do I find a place that I would regularly visit, however, this place is one of those hidden gems that is built upon the awesome people who work there. I would highly recommend stopping by here to see for yourself.

The location on 204th Street in Gretna is clean, open, inviting ... but noisy. It's one of those warehouse-type settings where you really have to work at having a private conversation. Seating is expecially comfortable in the big chairs, but then you have to schootch them close together and lean in so you can hear each other, which is unfortunate. Granted, tables are set far apart, but this should be in addition to. Coffee was delicious, but the beignet bites were just so-so. Granted, one should not expect New Orleans beignets outside of New Orleans, but these little donut puffs had only a light dusting of powdered sugar (which I actually was thankful for because I wore black pants!), and there was a not-overly-pleasant surprise inside with an indistinguishable creamy substance that was sort of like the inside of a brown sugar cinnamon poptart, only less so. I hadn't been expecting that. The yogurt parfait was substantial and delicious. (The staff was friendly and helpful when making selections, but it didn't occur to me to ask about fillings.)

I checked online before I went, but couldn't find a full menu, so I wasn't sure what tea or other caffeine-free options they had. When I asked about herbal tea, the employee first told me they didn't have any. After I mentioned how disappointed I was, she checked and came back with a few tea options, but peppermint was the only herbal one. I'm just not a mint tea person, so that didn't work for me. She mentioned that they used to carry more herbal teas, but they didn't sell well, so they stopped offering them. I totally understand that from a business standpoint. The employee was nice, although she didn't seem super familiar with the menu and didn't suggest anything else that was caffeine-free or lower calorie. I really wanted to give this place a try and hang out for a while, but I just couldn't find anything to order. It seems like a nice spot if you're a coffee drinker, but unfortunately there isn't enough on the menu for me to have much reason to come back.

Let me lead off with the fact that this is probably the best multi-roaster shop I've ever been to…read more I've loved specialty coffee since before it was cool to love specialty coffee, and I've hit hundreds--if not thousands--of coffee shops all across North America looking for golden pourovers. This place is absolutely IT. They have a rotating selection of specialty roasters such as DAK and B&W, and the experience and expertise to do them justice. The ambiance is warm and amazing, and I feel incredibly welcome here. If you're looking for an amazing place to get a true cup of specialty coffee, and you happen to be in Omaha, you don't need to read anything else--just give them a try. However, if you aren't really sure what I mean when I say "specialty coffee," or why this is such a big deal for me ("It's just a cup of joe!?"), please read on. WARNING: Coffee geek out ahead! "Coffee" is a berry, much like a large, firm cherry, that grows in equatorial climates. The seed of this berry, when the "meat" is removed, is dried, stored, shipped, roasted, and ground; water of the appropriate temperature is introduced for an appropriate amount of time to achieve a partial extraction of the acids and oils that make up the structure of the seed. Every step of that process, from the nutrients in the soil of the growing region to the precise duration of the pour / the partiality of the extraction changes the flavor substantially. Coffee, roasted until it dries and its proteins have just begun to undergo the mailliard reaction, ground evenly to a consistency somewhere between table salt and ground pepper, combined with 94-95°C water at about a 17:1 ratio by weight, and then filtered to remove the partially-extracted ground coffee, will yield a cup with remarkably wild flavors--berries, flowers, and explosion of floral aroma. It can taste like strawberries and cream, or blueberries, or caramel and peach, depending on any or all of the factors above. As a crop highly subject to the variation of its growing season, however, sometimes those flavors can trend to less pleasant, or not mix well in milk, or dominate a beverage that they're mixed into. Further, the coffee harvest season is not a single time of year--you need to follow the coffee calendar around the world to know what's in season at any given time. For large coffee shops, or roasters that specialize in "coffee beverages," or even specialty shops that exist in a market that requires them to maintain a consistent base espresso or blend for their regular, non-specialty customers, or who are subject to a pricing cap that rotating lots will exceed, that level of variation is often undesirable, and the cup results will likely be unappreciated by the body of the clientelé. So it can be desirable to "unify" that wildness to focus on round, caramel notes and big body. The one thing that unifies the flavor of coffee, more than any other single factor, is the roasting process. When you want to use coffee as a beverage base with a "generic coffee flavor," you want to reduce the wildness of the flavors and enhance the body flavor, and so you subject the seeds to a more prolonged roasting process that results in the evulsion of oils, and gives you a body that milk settles into for that "roasty toasty bold rich" flavor. People like me, who are looking for those wild, sweet, floral, mind-altering cups refer to all of these as "over roasted," although we can appreciate roast variation and coffee blending for espresso beverages. With the preamble out of the way, 99.9% of coffee in North America is what specialty coffee enthusiasts refer to as "bad." That includes Dunks, Folgers, Horties, Chock full, and so on, ad nauseam. Worse than that, for us, is what we consider "gross"--Starbucks, Peet's, Philz, and so on, that is roasted so dark that it tastes, at its best, like bitter, undrinkable char. If you like any or all of these coffee brands, that's totally ok--I enjoy the "bad' coffee as a nice, warm beverage with milk and sugar. (I can't drink the "gross" coffee, though). And as I said, it's almost certain that, despite the exhortations of people you know about how "good" their favorite coffee is, that you've never had true specialty coffee. That's something I'd like to help change--even if people try it and find that they prefer sweetened milk drinks, I think everyone owes it to themselves to try a pourover from an epic coffee shop. Astute is such a shop. These guys absolutely rule.

The branding and overall vibe feel intentional, and I genuinely appreciate their mission and what they're trying to build in Omaha. That part really stands out. That said, the coffee itself didn't quite hit for me. I ordered a seasonal latte and was excited for something distinctive, but the flavor felt pretty muted. It tasted more like a standard latte than something seasonal or layered. Not bad by any means -- just not memorable. I'd still come back to try something else because the space and concept are strong. I just hope the drinks lean a little more bold next time.
