14 Best Coffee Shops in Kearney

“Best Chai in town. (I don’t drink coffee) I have been going here since the beginning! It’s always a great meeting spot for friends, a pick me up in the middle of the day or a warm cup on a cold day. My grown girls never miss an opportunity to have a Baristas drink. They grew up being spoiled with the best.“

“Good morning, Kearney Nebraska! Let me just say that you have a hidden gem of a coffee shop in your just-east-of-center heart! I had to drive a bit to get there but it was worth every quarter mile even if I'd have had to crawl it! What a delightful little oasis in a mostly aggro-industrial area. As I pulled into the drive-through lane, I had to proceed very slowly and very cautiously so as not to knock into anything or knock anything down as I gawked at the beautiful decorations and a zillion tiny details that go into the making of this coffee oasis. A delight for the eyes before you even sip the joe. After my unfortunate experience yesterday morning, I was just hoping for good coffee before we hit the road, wheels pointed west. What I found was a sweet barista who was friendly and chatty, but not too much. When I asked about a flat white, she wasn't 100% sure so I explained that I just wanted two shots with about 4 - 6 oz of half and half. Of course she could make that. Of course she could. Because there's no special knowledge required...just a willing heart. It always makes my blood boil when I hear that a coffee show "can't" (read: won't) make a drink that literally has two ingredients in it. Ingredients that are easily at hand. But I digress. We waited a couple of moments while she made our drinks, a hot chocolate as well. Yes, whip cream, thank you! As we drove away, beginning our journey home, we were buoyed by the deliciousness in our cups. If anything, the flat white was stronger than it had to be but it was so good that I just sipped and enjoyed it.“

“Great and unique selection of food! Healthy choices available. Service was great! Little bit of a wait but we’ll worth it!“

“My friend usually gets a nitro brew, but this location doesn't make them. The cashier was kind, patient, and helped reccomend something she might like. Friend loved the cold pressed coffee she got, and I enjoyed mine as well. Good coffee, good staff. Great experience overall.“

“Zac is the friendliest barista around! Coffee is always hot (or cold) depending on how you order it! Love the half price drinks during happy hour (3-6 PM M-F). The campfire mocha with dark chocolate or anything pumpkin spice are superb. Inside seating is cozy & drive through is quick.“

“Stunningly good customer service by the opening crew this a.m.. I arrived just before opening and tried the door. Being a big city sort, I was sure it would be locked. Too early. Wrong, in early and warmly greeted. Long story short, the young woman and man that served me were awesome. Sincere thanks from a weary traveler. Namaste.“

“Sandwiches are very good. Service was slow, only 1 barissta on duty and at least 3 parties in line, she did the best she could. The shop was similar to most other Starbucks, however, I was surprised that they allowed me to bring our small dog into the building to get her out of the extreme temps.

Parking: Located inside the Crowne Plaza hotel and there might be some conflicts with restaurant and hotel patrons.“

“11/15/24 Haley (I hoped I spelled her name correctly) was amazing I had a problem from another location (who literally laughed at me) and when I told her what happened she was able to help me, She was so sweet and so helpful! When I'm back in Nebraska I would definitely make this location my stop.
Thank you for the sweet service 💕.“

“I got the tiny 4 pack of rolls for $3.99 + tax. The clerk was less than happy to be there, and the prices weren't totally posted. I THINK I got the most inexpensive item... not sure though.

Parking: The parking is at either end of the building, There are approximately 4 stalls on the North end of the building, including 1 handicapped accessible stall, and there are several other staĺls across the parking lot, on the South end of the building. People don't watch when they are pulling into the parking lot or when they are backing out of the parking stalls.“

“They stop making acai bowls an hour before closing. It’s not noted anywhere on their website or on Door Dash, so plan accordingly!“
