Astute is very truly a GEM among the Omaha coffee shop community…read more You can expect warm hospitality, bright and spacious seating areas, thoughtfully made pour overs and a fun seasonal menu. When I get the chance to sit somewhere for awhile, Astute is my first choice. It's generally quiet enough to read or study, and the pour over service is truly exceptional. The roasters they choose to work with are some of the best around. Astute's employees' commitment to serving their clients well and learning about the nuances of each coffee make for an excellent adventure each time. ++also, they carry Pettit's Pastries and you're gonna need to grab a donut while you're here. Best in town!++

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.

The egg hash with 2 waffles was great, the waffles were exceptionally good. It's a great choice if you find yourself here. One thing to be prepared for tall people... the seat and table height are not great. You'll be crouching down to get food in your mouth before it falls off of your fork. The tables are low, and the seats are too high. As a shorter person I had to crouch and slouch over my food to get it into my mouth. This, sadly would be the one reason I'd not return.

The environment was filled with windows and some small plants - the perfect place to accomplish some laptop tasks. I can't wait to go back!

I loved Hardy Coffee!…read more It was our last morning in Omaha and I really needed something besides hotel coffee to start my day. I saw that this place was nearby on Yelp and once I googled them I realized I could place an online order for pickup. If you know me, you know I love a good order ahead option! We did just that and my husband walked over to get the coffee and return. I had their espresso tonic and it was absolutely lovely. This was hands down the best coffee I had in Omaha and I hope to return someday!

I also love their space, it's beautiful and very open. The only thing that keeps me from going back more is I feel that they are quite a bit more expensive then other local coffee shops. Often times after I had an alternative milk, my coffee is $10+ which is just hard to justify on a regular basis.

Located just on the outskirts of downtown and within…read morewalking distance of several nearby hotels, Zen is a great option if you're looking to venture slightly off the beaten path for good coffee. 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.

I wrote this on my Facebook about my experience while traveling from California:…read more Today I was at a super cute café and ordered breakfast. After a couple of minutes, I went back up to the counter and asked if they had already started making it, because I wanted to change my order. The kitchen was open, so I said to the cook, "Don't worry about it if you've already started. I know my indecision can impact people, and I don't want to be a problem." He looked at me and said, "No, it's totally fine. Would you like some veggies on the side?" "Yes, that would be amazing," I said, and walked back to my table... and burst into tears. It wasn't just what he said. It was the kind energy in his eyes. I felt someone who took pride in what he was making, and who genuinely wanted people to be happy. I found myself asking, why am I crying? Because in a world where so many people in power feel disconnected, where corporations can make us feel like numbers, being genuinely cared for in a small café reminded me how much I love humans. Most people have love in their hearts and are trying to share it in their own small ways. As the world cracks, these simple things are more meaningful than ever.

That glass was FILLED to the brim and mixed with the preferred oat milk, a stunner among their many menu items. Ahhh that heat on the back when of the Spicy Chai is just what my Thursday am needed.

I like to come here to get work and studying done as they have plenty of seating. It is often very busy though, so if you want a specific table or seat at the bar, I would recommend coming in early on weekends. The coffee however, is not my favorite. It has tasted very milky with very little coffee or syrup flavor. Their hot chocolate also did not have a rich flavor and just tasted like chocolate milk. The Swiss cheese and mushroom quiche, however, was good.

It was their first time in Omaha and at this restaurant. They LOVED it! They said it was the best food they have ever had in any restaurant in any state. In addition to the great food, the wait staff are wonderful. They kept our drinks full without being asked. They stopped back a few times (not to many times for as long as we were there) to see if everything was okay, and if we needed anything else. They provided a squeeze bear full of honey so we could eat all that we wanted on their delicious pancakes. This is not like other restaurants where you get a container of honey that is not much larger than a shot glass, and they take a long time, and charge you more, if you want more honey. I asked for and they made a blueberry pancake for me, even though it isn't on the menu. The physical space has an old-world charm with unique artwork on the brick walls, wooden floors and comfortable chairs. This is one of my wife's and my favorite restaurants in the world. My only complaint is I wish they were open past 2:00 pm so we could eat there three times in one day! I was too busy enjoying my food to take any pictures. Trust me, it looks fabulous. All the best, Mark Welsch
