Very, very good coffee, especially the specialty stuff - the blackberry shaken brown sugar is my…read morefavorite, and my wife likes the honey oat latte. I also enjoy the plain cold brew. The new location is a big upgrade - the space is much more open, less cramped. Honestly, I'd probably go 4 1/2 stars if I could, only because the food isn't anything remarkable. For what it's worth, the location isn't easy to get to off 27th and the parking lot is very tight. But at the end of the day, I judge a coffee shop by its coffee first and the coffee - black, cold brew, espresso, whatever - is consistently very good - so I round up to 5

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. :)

I read reviews about it being welcoming ... perhaps if you go there often and spend a lot of money? Our first time was our last time. Even after tipping, the service person wouldn't look us in the eye and practically threw our coffee cups across the table at us. When asking about the various bagels (being the first time there), the obviously miserable counter person pointed at the small card with 20 bagel descriptions and made a noise that indicated she thought I was a moron and was supposed to have cased her busy counter to spot all of the bagel details on a tiny laminated card before I ordered. Sadly, after I posted my review to Google Maps, their quick response was "So sorry, come again and we'll do a better job next time." Riiiggghht! I think first impressions are accurate.

The variety is excellent - whatever you like in coffee, whether you know what you want and stick to it or you're a novice, trying to find your thing or you're adventurous, looking for a new thing... they have it. But that's not why I give this place 5 stars. The space itself is excellent. It's comfortable, cozy and inviting, despite a tricky location. It's well designed and lit and has a giant window to view that actual roaster. But that's not why I give it five stars. The people love coffee... Like, they looooooove coffee! And they know coffee. I went in and they said "How can we help you?" And I said "I want to buy coffee, but I don't know what I want." And both employees lit up. They know the coffee language AND how to explain it to a novice without making you feel like a novice. And the more feedback you give, the better their next suggestion will be. The team here is camped right at the intersection of passion and knowledge and their love for it is contagious. I look forward to emptying a bag - yes, because it's delicious - but also so I can go in and talk to them again!

If you don't like coffee, there's also tea and they can make any drinks decaf too. Theres pastries, merchandise for purchase, a bathroom. This coffee spot has it all. It's a great place to study, get work done, catch up with a friend, and relax. The baristas are so friendly here. They all passed the vibe check. 10 out of 10 recommend the mill!

The shop itself is super cute -- warm, inviting, and filled with that local charm that makes it feel like a true Nebraska staple. I ordered an iced Cortado and some breakfast, and everything was delicious and reasonably priced. The coffee was smooth and balanced, and the food hit the spot perfectly before the game. It did look like they were a bit short-staffed only one barista handling both the register and drinks but he was absolutely crushing it and kept things moving fast. Hopefully next time they'll have a little extra help because the place definitely gets busy! Overall, great vibes, great coffee, and definitely a spot I'd return to next time I'm in Lincoln.

The cold brew is my favorite but the lattes are good too (they can be a little sweet, so I get mine with half the syrup). I hear good things about the food but I've only had pastries - which did not disappoint. Killer music on a regular basis. Friendly staff and patrons, from my experience. It's more a social gathering place than a good "get work/study done" place. They also feature local artists and musicians, which is cool and keeps the decor new. One small note - usually when coffee places have a punch-card loyalty program, you get a free drink when it's full. Meadowlark, you only get a punch for espresso drinks, not coffee, and when it's full, you only get $3 off instead of an actual free drink (even a small). That seems a little penny-pinching to me...

I did look at the coffee menu online ahead of time but it was not fully updated, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I went through the drive-through and opted for an iced honey latte with oat milk. I ordered a medium and it was $8.20. Even with oat milk, $8+ seems fairly steep. For example, my recent obsession is with 7Brew where I can get a medium that has more ounces, more caffeine and a dollar less than here. The espresso quality was fine. I did appreciate that the honey flavoring seemed to be homemade rather than a premade syrup. However, the actual quality of the cup was very thin and flimsy. You'll notice in the picture I was holding it from the top because holding it like normal I was worried it was concave. With the average espresso, and very thin drinkware I'm not sure if I could justify the price. Not to say, I would never come back, I would like to try a hot espresso drink, but I am in no means rushing to go back.
