I love a good local coffee shop and Village Grinder was one such place! It is so cute and cozy inside, with an adorable little seating area, delicious coffee smells all throughout the shop, and all the little touches like wooden signs welcoming you in. And for the shopper, they have lots of small decor, gifts, and actual coffee beans for sale. But the star of the show is the coffee drinks themselves! I had the pumpkin spice latte (it was Autumn, so I am allowed!), and it was creamy, had a good spice to it, and smooth. I would definitely get that again. But I look forward to trying more flavors soon! Village Grinder is a cute little cafe to stop by while you're in Countryside Village. Always nice to grab a coffee or treat while you shop - and it's great that you can even shop inside Village Grinder too! read more

I love this spot because you can taste the coffee in your lattes. And the taste is high quality & it's a noticeable difference. It's also so cute on the inside!!!! Ownership is so sweet. You can buy your own coffee & espresso beans here too which we've done multiple times. Service is quick. They have seasonal flavors each month!!!! read more

One of the best coffee stops in Omaha! The scones are some of the best I've ever had, so fresh, not dry, and full of flavor. All the other baked goods are good too, but you have to try a scone. They make a great traditional cappuccino, minimal cream, not like you'll get at a big box coffee shop. The coffees are extensive, beautifully roasted in house, and can be ground to your brewing preference. They always have seasonal and special flavors and fun seasonal drinks. The gift section has such cute unique finds that are perfect for gifting! read more

This was our first time ever trying Village Grinder and I am confident that we will be back very soon. First off, when we walked in, it was so cute and smelled SO good inside. I loved all of the little gift/apparel items they had for sale inside too! We both got iced dirty cookie butter chais, these were on their current featured menu. They were DELICIOUS. Just the right amount of sweet and the flavor was amazing. We were more than satisfied with our coffees! read more

The cutest little shop with the nicest staff. I enjoy that the interior is cozy, like a small town shop or my grandma's house (meant in the kindest sentiment), and it's not like one of those shops someone will post up with their computer for hours. To me, that maintains the integrity of the space! You can buy a variety of things including their beans, stationery and home decor, and coffee, of course. I got the vanilla latte and it was nothing too special but better than the big chains. My husband got a flavored brew and he enjoyed that without sugar or creamer. read more

DO NOT SPEND MONEY HERE!!! I've come here a few times in the past few weeks and everytime it has been bad. I typically come in the morning and there tends to be alot of school kids getting stuff. I've noticed who im assuming is the owner, a lady around my age, tends to watch kids of color a little closer than everyone else, she is also incredibly rude to them! I asked for my drink to be made a specific way and it was made the opposite, it wasn't good at all. If you arent a "regular" you won't be treated very good. Save some time and money and go elsewhere. read more

I so want to love this little coffee shop but just have never been satisfied with any of my coffee drinks. Exceptional customer service and cute atmosphere. read more

The staff was friendly and the shop had a cozy feel. I would recommend village grinder.

Pre steamed milk, no foam and tasteless coffee to go. No thank you. Service and or quality has really gone down. Sadly Starbucks or even scooters is better. Like to support local but need to maintain a level of quality read more

I decided to try Village Grinder today for my morning coffee and it was the best decision ! The atmosphere of the coffee shop is welcoming and overall a good vibe. I got a salted caramel cold brew with cream and a cinnamon roll. This cinnamon roll is one of the best ones I've had in a while. The coffee was absolutely amazing as well. The staff were attentive and very nice and you can tell they enjoyed working there. This will for sure be added as one of my favorite coffee shops!! read more

Village Grinder - Cinnamon roll & Salted Caramel cold brew w/ cream - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

This humble little coffee shop is right off 90th and dodge and a great spot for a fresh encounter with peace and good sips. The village grinder isn't your modern, minimal, all white "aesthetic" coffee shop, however it's homey, warm, and relaxing. You'll find that the majority of customers are women coming for afternoon chats or breakfast pastries. They have a lot of trinkets and home decor to purchase, but I gave this five stars more for the atmosphere it permits. Very warm and comforting like walking into grandmas and smelling cookies, getting a big hug, and feeling at home. As for the drinks, I only got a red raspberry iced tea (which was fantastic), but am looking forward to returning and trying more things. Service was kind and helpful even though they were working their buns off, they make people feel seen and welcome. I also love the music they have going during the day, continues to encourage the peaceful atmosphere it must be known for. read more

Some of the best coffee I have had in the area. Definitely in my top 10. They have creative drinks that you really don't see anywhere else. The service is relatively quick and it's a nice place to sit and enjoy your beverage. Highly recommend! read more

Very nice little coffee stop! They have a variety of baked goods and coffee selections. Various little gifts, candles, Husker gear, and even a corner where they sell coffee beans and candy. You can even get the fresh beans ground there. They only have about three sugar free flavors but my SF iced vanilla latte was delicious! Service was fast and friendly! I also enjoyed a blueberry muffin! Very cute and quaint little shop! read more

This place looks very bland in the outside, I'm not going to lie...but when you walk inside you are met with a bright, warm atmosphere! They have a variety of retail teas, spa care gifts, chocolates, and obviously coffee! They have pastry items as well that they make in-house!!! They don't have an awful lot of seating but it's cozy! My friend and I came here for a get together and we had a great time. They did get decently busy. They do have almond and oat milks for anyone who might want them! And they had a good arrangement of brews and fun, unique drinks. It was rainy and overcast when we went so it inspired me to get a dirty chai! It was a little sweet for my taste personally, but it tasted delicious! I would come back here! Great place to meet someone, get some work done, or just swing by and grab a coffee or pastry to go! read more

Great atmosphere and coffee! My family's favorite place to get coffee on a Saturday morning!

I love supporting small businesses and as far as coffee shops go, this one is my favorite in this particular area! It's almost hidden unless you're familiar with the small complex here. I love it. There's a couple of bakeries that prepare different pastries and cakes, a workout studio I think, The Simple man, and a locally owned coffee shop! I love that this little coffee shop also has cute stuff to purchase along with teas and coffees too. There seating area is quite small but just enough to provide that warm and cozy vibe. The coffee options are fun in that they are always changing up their fun flavors but still offer the mainstays as well. I recently had their peppermint mocha with almond milk and it was delicious. I do hope I can try some of their pastries or quiches sometime, they looked pretty tasty. read more

Decided to try this place after being burned out on Starbucks and wanting to support local. Loved the store as soon as we walked in. So cute! And then we found out the bakery items are all made in house, definite plus. The caramel drinks we got were both delicious. read more

Really like this place. Fun and interesting neighborhood coffee shop that's comfortable.

Such a charming, little shop!!! They have a great selection of rotating specialty drinks (such as praline iced coffee, white chocolate pistachio and blueberry waffle latte) and all the classics. Plus, they stock every alternate milk option. The espresso beverages are super smooth and perfectly sweetened. Right now, they have an unbeatable Tuesday special for following their IG account. Safe to say I will be returning. Tons of parking, limited seating, great service! read more

Village Grinder - Great little gift shop/seating area - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

The Village grinder is a great stop if you find yourself out doing some shopping or looking to meet a friend in this part of town. The ambiance is very cozy, "at home" feeling. Just from my hour or so visit, it was clear that this is an establishment that has a good collection of regulars, and they do a great job creating friendships with the faces that return again and again. As far as seating areas go, it's fairly small - 4-5 tables I think? But it was still plenty of space since half the visitors were grabbing a drink to go. They also utilize nearly half of this store front to sell some cute household items and giftable goods, which I thought worked well for their space. They aren't going to be a go to spot if you're looking for in house roasted coffees and knowledgeable craft baristas. While you won't hear words like aeropress or micro batch here, they will likely keep you around awhile anyway just because of the hospitality (and a beautiful pastry case ) read more

The owner is one of the rudest and least likable person since the pandemic. My friend asked her to post a sign and not only did she refuse, but she was very rude and cold about it. She was once a nice business person. Now we don't trust her. read more

Love the village Grinder. A local owned ma and pop coffee shop. Very cute inside. You are greeted with a smile and the coffee is amazing! Many options for your coffee needs. You can buy fresh beans to go as well. They have tea, chocolate and candies as well. Hungry? They also have food you can order. Must say why go to a starbucks when you can go to a coffee shop like this and support local business. read more

Adorable local coffee shop located in countryside Village that manages to survive just fine despite the fact that it's only four doors down from Starbucks. They've got warm drinks a cozy atmosphere and a little gift shop environment inside of trinkets relating to food, drink, and gifts. My favorite part about the Village grinder is that they sell at Holly's healthy holes, a local vegan donut business without a solid storefront. Such a nice staff, and warm atmosphere! One of my favorite neighborhood spots. read more

I used to LOVE this coffee shop and was a consistent customer for over a year as I had my days off on their "half-off Tuesdays." Earlier this spring I had stopped in and the owner was very flat and rude to me and another random customer in line, which I thought was odd, but I chalked it up to a misunderstanding. Despite me being willing to forget the situation, I found myself not choosing to go to VG as often as I once had. I decided to randomly stop in today and I was met with the owner once again at the counter. She was incredibly short with me when taking my order, made a snarky comment about what I had actually ordered, and then when she charged my card she slammed it back on the counter towards me. I said my thank you's and she had no comment back to me. I was a little off put yet again but was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, maybe she's not having a great morning. That was until the woman behind me stepped forward and the owner had the biggest smile on her face, was happy to help this customer, and was engaging in conversation. I'm incredibly hurt by this small interaction. I always found VG to be a comfort place for me as it reminds me of coffee shops my mom and I would visit often in small east coast towns and I am now independently living in Omaha. I know the owner is very partial to her regular customers and Ive witnessed first hand in the last year her calling customers by their first names, having their drinks ready before they reach the front counter, and being able to banter back and forth with them. I don't expect her to have a desire to have this close of a relationship with me but the disrespect towards a paying customer drew a line for me today. A coffee shop that I raved about to my friends will now be a place I will be discouraging them to go to. I came home immediately and was reading reviews online to make sure what I had felt wasn't crazy. I do see similar reviews, I hope the owner can acknowledge the repeated behaviors and change but unfortunately I do not feel like giving village grinder another chance after this morning. read more

I love the baristas and the store but the owner is very rude to student and her highest demographic. My group and I went in and she was rude and snappy. read more

My coworker and I have been trying to try more local coffee shops and one day we decided to try the village grinder. I am a HUGE fan! You'll walk in to find the cutest array of gifts, snacks, and coffee. Once you browse the shopping area, you'll get to the counter with the nicest baristas. The coffee is always amazing and I d enjoyed everything I've gotten there. Follow them in social media for half off any drink in Tuesday's! Stopping in has become my Tuesday routine! read more

Village Grinder - Iced dirty chai latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Went to get my coffee before work and it was decently busy, there were about 6-7 people getting coffee. However, when I went up, to order my coffee, they forgot to put the Tuesday discount on, which is fine, so I asked about it. The barista just told me it was too late she already took my card and that I needed to be quicker next time. She was quite short with me and a bit rude and told me to get it next week. She didn't offer to redo the transaction, or to even provide a $1 pastry or anything. When I finally received my coffee, it didn't taste like it had any flavor in it, just warm milk and coffee when I ordered a mocha. I understand getting stressed out when it gets busy, but it's unfortunate the attention to customer service goes down. read more

The best coffee shop in Omaha, no Nebraska, NO Best Coffee Shop Ever! This place is like home, warm, smells good and feels like one of mom's blankets on the back of the Davenport! You youngsters ask your grandparents what a Davenport is. Service is perfect, friendly efficient and with a smile. Want a sandwich? Egg salad, cucumber, or turkey? Yes please. And the treats. Homemade cookies and bars for the win. Don't ever get coffee anywhere else, ever! read more

This place is good but needs some work. The last few times I've been in, the baristas have been so preoccupied with other customers (who I assume are regulars) or the other barista working that my drink was either made wrong or they just forgot to make it. This place is definitely homey and I do like what I've gotten in the past that has been correct, but recently my orders have been incorrect and taste bad. I will give props to them for withstanding the Starbucks that was down the mall! Also you really cannot beat the half price tuesdays, I wish they were open later bc I would love to swing by after work for a drink! All in all, the baristas are friendly but I would taste your drink before you leave to make sure they got it correct! read more

I just got an alert on Yelp stating that businesses are going through a lot because of Covid, and to take that into consideration. I will make sure to do that when writing reviews as far as food and service, as we are all going through a tough time, but I also want to continue to support businesses I feel are making sure they're keeping employees and the community safe as well. Having said that, I'm one of those that is taking this pandemic seriously and taking all the precautions I can. I have decided to only support businesses that are making me feel safe to do so during this time. I do not dine in currently, only to go. I just moved to the area, and have been checking out local coffee shops and restaurants, as I believe we should support small businesses. I work right down the street from Village Grinder, so it makes sense to grab coffee right down the street. I love the atmosphere of the store, the coffee, as well as the tea selection. What I don't support, and what is making me not return to this amazing little shop is the fact they're not being safe. I came to pick up my coffee this morning after working a 12 hour shift and both employees weren't wearing masks. I think that something simple like wearing a mask is something everybody should be doing, and if a business doesn't think it's important, I can't continue to give them my business. read more

I really really liked this place at first. I had just moved into the neighborhood and was so excited to have a LOCAL coffee place down the road. The coffee was decent, great atmosphere and a place you feel like you could hang out and read a book or something. I even brought friends/family in with me to treat them to a coffee and encouraged them to come here instead of starbucks. Hell, if you search them in google, the first picture that appears was taken by me (the black and white one). However, the last 5 times I have gone (i really tried to give this place multiple chances) the coffee was HORRIBLE. All of these 5 times I tried ordering a different drink each time and they all tasted like the coffee was burnt and had a cardboard like after taste. Even after asking for extra syrup it still tasted like burnt water marinated in cardboard. I had noticed that when the older blonde lady (who I assume to be the owner) made my coffee in the past it tasted perfect. Unfortunately she hasn't been behind the counter the last 5 times. The younger staff aren't rude but they certainly aren't personable. The very last time I went there was about a week ago and the only reason i decided to give them one more chance was because I saw on their fb page that they were doing 50% off coffee on tuesdays. I figured if it sucks again, i only paid $3 for it ‍ I walk in and it's not terribly busy with only one person ahead of me. I get up to order my coffee. This time there was a younger blonde girl there who i had never seen before taking my order. She was super sweet to the person in front of me but when i walked up she seemed annoyed at something. When she rang my order up she mumbled something about if I wanted 50% off and I said yes please thats why i came in. She said i had to go to their instagram/fb and like their page. I told her I already followed them. She gave me the discount after rolling her eyes at me. I decided to ignore her demeanor and waited for my coffee. Once i got my coffee and tasted it, at first i could taste a little bit of the white chocolate syrup ( i order a white mocha) and was thankful for that at least. I walked out the door and went about my day. But as i was driving and drinking more of the coffee, there was the same old burnt cardboard taste again. The syrup was obviously floating at the top and fooled me in to thinking they made me a better coffee this time. Nope. So, as much as I desperately want to support local, ive just been going to starbucks lately because i havent been able to find any other local coffee shop near me that is consistent. I hope Village Grinder gets their act together because i desperately want to come here and support them but I can't do it if your coffee sucks. They seem like they do decent business cuz there are always people sitting down outside or inside with their drinks...so I must just be really really lucky to be getting bad coffee 5 times in a row or people around here have horrible taste buds ‍ I tried leaving a review on google but for some reason it won't let me so i downloaded yelp just to write this review. Sorry but not sorry... read more
