50 Best Coffee Shops in Lincoln

“perfect London fog, great donuts and cozy atmosphere“

“Made a stop at Bloom Coffee while visiting family up in Nebraska, and it was probably one of the highlights from the trip! We were first drawn in by the aesthetics of the shop (I’m a sucker for plants, good graphic design, and beautiful interior lol). We had the blackberry brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso & the peach latte from their Summer Menu. Both drinks were delicious 🤤 we are truly so sad they’re not in Texas!

The shop also has on display a bunch of art & goodies you can buy to support other local artists/businesses! I look forward to coming again when I’m back in Lincoln!

Update: was able to visit again, the coffee shop has expanded and the shop is super cute! They have tons of space and seating with outlets. Great place to remote work, read, meet with a friend, etc. The coffee is delicious and I also love the music/ambience!“

“Great drinks and great service! Highly recommend this place!“

“Great place for coffee and live music“

“Much love from Manhattan, KS! Retired Nebraska National Guard, here, and I’d stop by every time I stayed in Lincoln!“

“I love the space, and Diana is amaziiiiing!!!“

“I'm not a coffee snob, I usually buy the cheapest store brands and then have to add so much it really isn't coffee. I decided to buy some ground coffee from TCS and was I ever surprised. It is wonderful. I could tell the difference immediately. I just had to add a tablespoon of cream and nothing else. Drinking this coffee is a treat.“

“Wednesday night concert series are the best!“

“I love checking out their seasonal teas!!“

“Thank you to the The Mill @ Innovation Campus for supporting local arts. We appreciate your partnership.“

“Much love from Manhattan, KS! Retired Nebraska National Guard, here, and I’d stop by every time I stayed in Lincoln!“

“We had the cromlettes again today. They are so good. 1st time trying the Java chocolate chip muffin. I loved it. Very moist and delicious! We are from out of town by an hour but love to stop here when in town. and the coffee and café mocha is my go to.“

“Stopped by and grabbed a brown sugar chai with vanilla cold foam. What a smooth drink!! Great taste, I’d recommend it to all!“

“We ventured down the passage stairs into this amazing space this morning before walking the farmers market… the aroma of baked yum hits you and then the smell of fresh coffee. Definitely worth the stop and we will be back!!“

“Great drinks and great service! Highly recommend this place!“

“Always so good and relaxing!“

“A great place to relax and work!“

“Really cozy spot with the best cold brew I’ve ever tasted! So excited to have Carbon Coffee in the neighborhood!“

“Best hands down, Starbucks count your days“

“This place is mostly a drive-tru. No inside seating. I don't believe there was outside seating either 🤔.
The Pumpkin Carmelishous,blended, was good according to my Mom. I like green tea matcha with peach, blended. Yum! And if I didn't get that It'd be the Chi Tea Latte, hot! All are good.
Note: they only have the dark roast until 10 or 11 AM as my husband found out.“

“I absolutely love Caribou coffee! They make follow through every time and I've never had a poor experience here. They're prices are very reasonable compared to many other chains out there and that sets them apart, plus they have daily specials! The drinks are consistently amazing (unlike scooters and Starbucks) and there's plenty of drinks to choose from. On top of that every person who works here is an amazing person and I hope they see this because I've never had a bad interaction with a worker here, sometimes they even make my day. Keep up the amazing work and amazing coffee!!!“

“If you just want something sweet and terrible for you that, in my opinion is weak (when it comes to putting a pep in my step). Then by all means stick with the big name chains(the Walmarts of coffee & smoothies) for your morning cup. However, if you want a brewed hot, iced, blended or specialty made beverage (either coffee, smoothie or one of each!) you must get over to Lincoln Espresso!!! You won’t regret it!“

“I'm trying Harness Blend for the first time, I love dark roast and I've had a hard time finding the right blend. Amazing! The flavor is rich and smooth, I love it!“

“Wonderful Coffee Shop and friendly to pets as well!!!“

“I became very partial to The Mill (all of them) while living in Lincoln. I miss it. But thankfully, I can still order my coffee through them via their online ordering. I highly recommend that! I haven’t found a coffee bean I like better in the two years I’ve been away.“

“Ziggi's is my absolute favorite!! The Colorado Mocha is the only drink I will order. I don't even go to Scooters or Starbucks anymore! 🙌🏼“

“Scooters is the BOMB!!! Addicted to their sea salt Carmelicious! Location at south 84th street is so courteous, check out their drive thru...you will NOT be disappointed!😀“

“Probably the best 7 brew in all of Nebraska!!! The staff are all super friendly, even when it’s cold ash outside #impressive. My drink are always perfect or better than perfect. Hannah is always the best to get. She is super funny and always gives me a good laugh #impressive!“

“Great job really good coffee“

“As a self-appointed volunteer quality control analyst, I can say without hesitation that this Starbucks location meets the standards for continuity, cleanliness and friendliness. 😜😜. It is a must-visit!“

“I haven’t been to this coffee shop yet, I want to thank the most beautiful person who did a pay-it-forward that’s an employee at this location, I was near tears and wasn’t feeling to good, I was told to pick up my Gman at the last min, my husband didn’t tell me he didn’t have time to deposit money into my acct........enough about that, most importantly THANK U SOOO MUCH BEAUTIFUL PERSON for showing me kindness and a heart🙂😘👍🏾“

“Darrell is a great manager! Great coffee, great service, and great conversation. Look forward to seeing him or his crew practically every morning. They keep the coffee kiosk area looking good. Hard to rate the atmosphere otherwise as it is located inside a HyVee store.“

“I found myself in Lincoln, Nebraska, for a week. I needed to be able to have a place to work while I was there. The Foundry was the most helpful and accommodating of all co-working spaces that I contacted in Lincoln. They respond quickly and thoroughly. The staff is extremely helpful. Audrey and Julie are incredible—very friendly and helpful. Wi-Fi is incredible. The desks are large with plenty of space for each person. There are private spaces you can reserve for meetings. I have been most impressed and thoroughly enjoyed my time at The Foundry. I will definitely reserve a space at The Foundry again the next time I am in Lincoln.“

“Scooters is the BOMB!!! Addicted to their sea salt Carmelicious! Location at south 84th street is so courteous, check out their drive thru...you will NOT be disappointed!😀“

“Me and my partner came here yesterday to check it out. My whole life is centered around coffee, being as it’s also my job, so I love to check out local places. So far, this has been the best tasting latte I have had in Lincoln outside of my workplace. The syrup selection is awesome too if you’re into that! The guy working was super patient and kind while we looked over the menu. The establishment itself is pretty cute and very relaxed. If I was in school I would frequent this place for sure!“

“The coffee is always good but they were training a new employee today and as a manager at another company I appreciate how well the trainer coached and jumped in when needed and jumped straight back into coaching it was a well structured cohesive partnership that was done very well. Wanted to send kudos to both baristas that were working today.“

“I've ordered a couple times from Haley and it's always been delicious. Most recently, I even asked for gluten and dairy free cupcakes and everyone commented how impressed they were and that they couldn't believe they were gluten and dairy free.“

“We have enjoyed dining at Bethany Coffee Shop/Cook’s Cafe for many years! Best breakfast and service in town! Mick and Marge“
