50 Best Cafes in Omaha

“Family friendly, great service and yummy homemade comfort food. Love the atmosphere.“

“Visited today for the first time. Wonderful place! I recommend the butterbeer. Cozy, huge selection, good snacks and friendly staff.“

“Stopped to get a loaf of sourdough bread. They were willing to slice it up, which was appreciated. It was very fresh and the crust had a very nice chew like a good sourdough loaf. Only small complaint is that it doesn't have much of a sourness to it but tasted more like a sweet baguette than a sourdough. But it still tasted great and the cashier was really nice so I'm totally willing to overlook that and would come here again!“

“Nothing but good things to say! Always stop by whenever I’m downtown. Deviled eggs are unique, unlike any I’ve ever tried but a most favorite of mine from the menu“

“It doesn’t come any better, friendly ambiance, fair pricing and just the breakfast you need when you need it. Truly a home away from home. If Cheers had been a breakfast place, I imagine that it might have been Lisa’s.“

“Ordered the King Cake and it was absolutely amazing!!!!!!! I can't wait to try other things there!“

“This is the only Cafe I know of that accepts donations, even if its change. Or for you to do a chore for a meal. It warmed my heart to see that when I first walked in. The atmosphere is just so warm, welcoming, friendly, and chill. The people that work there contribute to that feel. I love coming here.“

“My mom and I were on a Plant adventure, and found this adorable coffee shop. The plants were beautiful and atmosphere was layed back. The house chai is absolutely delicious, and the breakfaat was great! I would highly recommend! we will be back next time!“

“Breakfast was outstanding, in particular, the biscuits n gravy!“

“A lovely spot with healthy and delicious food and coffee! I stopped in early in the morning on a roadtrip and the vibe was quiet and welcoming and got chatty and bright as the place filled up. Friendly, helpful staff and the food was so good! The prices aren’t cheap, but taste and quality were on point. I had a sourdough scone and toastie and was surprised by how good both were. I’ll definitely stop in next time I come through Omaha!“

“Catfish Sandwich, Okra, and Sweet Tea. 11/10 😊“

“Drinks are amazing and owner is very nice! I have not disliked anything I have tried“

“Great coffee and specialty drinks. Great staff and a modern and clean shop. If you need a place to relax and wind down after a busy day, this is the place. They also have free WiFi.“

“This place has Tea any way you like it. Now I'm a gen-xer, and I'd just got off the motorcycle on a hot day. I was just looking forward to an Arnold Palmer. It wasn't on the menu but they happily listened to my directions on how to make one. It was delicious and tasted exactly the way it should taste. Super refreshing. So kudos to the staff for being extra accommodating.“

“UP Cafe is great! Modern, clean, and a huge variety of food, drinks, and snacks. Great place to relax , meet for business, or just hang out and kill time. Highly recommend. The price for weighted food is a bit higher than expected but the quality is good.“

“We had ACA cater our wedding.They did a custom menu of a ramen bar. It was a huge hit and absolutely delicious. We absolutely recommend ACA for catering..The staff worked with us to make the menu and worked with our venue to have all the details perfect. Our wedding was so wonderful with all the custom details.“

“This is my second time here and like the first time, the meal I had was phenomenal. Will need to come back for ice cream some time.“

“The managers, the employees are all super generous, sweet and welcoming, the food is so good even the desserts, it’s a good restaurant to come eat, have a good margarita, mechiladas, and beers!“

“We spent the day at the Kiewit Luminarium Museum with our 9yo daughter and decided to just grab lunch at the cafe during our visit. Our daughter eats gluten-free for health reasons and we hadn't planned for lunch and just expected we'd have to get her a fruit cup or something. She was absolutely ecstatic to realize they have gluten-free chicken strips and their fryers are gluten free, not only that there were gluten free pastries that were super tasty. This honestly was the best part of our entire 4-day trip to Omaha for her and she begged us to go back for every meal which we were not able to do. Our sandwiches were also great and we were so thankful to find this little gem!“

“We had a French cuisine prepared by one of their Culinary School students and a pastry chef student it was amazing!“

“We were celebrating my husbands birthday and went to The Table for breakfast. We can't say enough about the staff! Everyone was so kind and thoughtful! The best seevice in town hands down! Go for breakfast or a fun coffee!! You will be pleased!“

“So glad Scott Cafe is open to the public. The food is okay. Usually not hot; simple and basic. Don’t know if the grill is no longer to-order or if that was just today. But it’s a shame if burgers will no longer be prepared in demand. The seating area is roomy and there is a quieter room to get away from hoards of students.Flat cost for a meal with salad, entree, extras, dessert and soda.“

“I’ve always loved this place, and now that it’s open more regularly, I love it even more. The Caesar dressing is fantastic and I feel the prices are fair considering the quality I’ve always received. Tonight, there was a gal with blonde hair and butterfly tattoos, she made me the best wrap I’ve ever had and I’ve been a regular for years. I recommend this place to everyone. I wish they would open a drive through location!“

“Awesome food. Breakfast was great!“

“Hidden gem! It’s got that small town feel with extremely friendly customer service. The food was excellent at a good price. We will definitely be returning.“

“Very friendly staff, pancakes were amazing and the freshly baked biscuits were over the top!!!!“

“I love first watch! They have so many options for my GF diet and everything is so healthy, delicious, and fresh! Rest assured, they also have the indulgent options for those with a sweet tooth and kids (choc chip pancakes!). My only regret is that I haven’t tried one of their fresh juiced concoctions during one of my visits. Definitely going to make that a priority next time. 😊“

“I went in last week with my 2 year old son. We had had a crazy morning and he was still hungry and asking for something to eat. The kind gals working just gave him some donut holes for free while I was ordering my drink. They were super friendly and nice!“

“Really cool little place. It was my first time going and it’s very inviting and takes you out of the city in a sense. Definitely going again and loved the charcuterie board!“

“I like First Watch bc I can enjoy many things and still stay on track with my eating plan. I would’ve appreciated the option of whole wheat English muffins, but that issue is the same across the entire chain. The server was very solicitous of my daughter’s specific requests for my grandkids’ menu choices (extra plate to share one adult meal, subbing fruit for their potatoes, extra straws and napkins, etc.).“

“My fave breakfast spot. They do eggs right, and their link sausages are perfecto. Easy parking, ugly building, nice people. What else could you want for breakfast“

“I Highly Recommend Going This Restaurant & Save Some Room & Stamina For Homey Inn For Champagne 🥂 🍾On Tap At The Homey Inn Bar When You & You’re Entourage Have Completed Your Dinner!“

“Consistently great coffee. Make sure to get there. Isaiah pulled shots at a takeover in Las Vegas where he made the best cup I’ve ever had. Let’s talk Prototype for a second. It is phenomenal. Head and shoulders above their other roasts.“

“Great Fall Special with million dollar bacon, sweet potatoes, and regular potatoes, mushrooms, eggs, kale, cheese, and Mike’s hot honey drizzled over top!“

“Have the Ground beef Potato Platter! It was a big serving and delicious. Jerry had biscuits and gravy hash browns, and eggs. Very good service all around. I brought half of mine home with me!“

“Great place always excellent. eaten here a dozen times, always pleased.“

“Overall a nice hotel. We were a bit dismayed that we found little short black hairs all over the shower and a long black hair on the floor of the bathroom. Otherwise our room seemed to be reasonably clean. The hotel itself was recently renovated, so everything still looks very nice. The bar encompasses most of the lobby area. You can also order food which was mediocre for what the price was. Especially breakfast which was almost $50 for two people. The staff we encountered were all pleasant and very helpful. The only other negative was our second night there was a group somewhere near our room partying, playing music very loud and people laughing and talking loudly. It kept us awake, I wouldn't think a hotel like this would allow that. We chose this hotel because it was right across the street from the arena where we had tickets to see Jeff Dunham. Would we stay at the Omaha Hilton again? Probably not, rooms are too expensive as is the food and the cocktails. I don't think you get the best bang for your buck here.“

“Like an Oak planted in streams of Coffee and never gets tired!!“

“Sapp Bros truck stop near I-80 and 144th street in Omaha, Ne at the Coffee Kettle Cafe with my server Kelly.

I had an enjoyable meal of a Home style cafe feel, and warm friendly service. I am loving the new ways that Sapp Bros is having restaurants nowadays!! Check out the fresh made food. I had chicken strips with Real mashed potatos, small side salad, and a slice of lemon meringue pie with sweet tea to drink.

Though next time i will be having the hand-breaded chicken friend steak with real mashed potatoes...😋 Yum!

Large enough room from 2 to 6 people at tables and booths, as well as a party room for a bit of privacy for meetings and/or get togethers, too.“

“Food's always great (get the bacon turkey bravo and the broccoli chedd soup), and I also appreciate that they have tables with outlets available for use. We lost our power in the recent storm and I was able to work from this location for a while. Much appreciated. (Note that if you're going to do this, be a paying customer! Don't be a mooch.)“

“All the staff here are amazing!! I will drive to this location even if there are ones closer to my house. Seriously great service!!“

“Everything here was good, but not great. Food I felt could be better. The service was a bit slow, but I do understand it was busy when we went. I did really enjoy the hash browns sausage. The place was pretty loud so it was hard to hear when talking to the person you’re with. I would rate a 3 1/2, but I cannot. Other than that, food was good and they had many options for food.“

“Love this place! Some days I literally wake up thinking about a certain item (I have a few regulars I love) and find myself driving that direction…it’s that good! The only place in town I can always trust for a 100% clean, healthy menu!“

“Amazing food. Amazing staff. Had the Traveler's omelette. Perfect balance of spicy and savory. Bacon flight was so good. You must try the smoky bacon jam.“

“I placed an order for birthday donuts for my son. I spoke with Lindsey who was extremely friendly and helpful. When I picked the donuts up the night before my son’s birthday (at a different Hurts donut location) they were not what I expected. I called Lindsey as I thought maybe there was confusion with the order. She went above and beyond and not only replaced the donuts but had them brought directly to us (and we aren’t located close to the store). When I opened the new box of donuts I cried because I was so overwhelmed with her and her staff doing everything they could to make the situation right and to ensure my kiddo woke up to some amazing personalized donuts.“

“Bread bowls are delicious 🤤“

“I've never had a better breakfast burrito! Amazing!! Our server Chrissi couldn't have been any better. Her courteous, attentive and kind demeanor made a fantastic breakfast into an exceptional one. KUDOS!! Will always visit when back in town.“

“30 minutes in, waiting for a half BLT to go order, I watched one of the food prep guys place his entire bare hand on top of some fries to check how hot they were. I didn't even finish waiting on the BLT. very slow and from what I could see, there is nothing special going on here. Just a glorified Subway.“

“The lady that was calling orders out was very friendly and helpful. Her name tag said Ana team lead. She was amazing and I didn’t specify on the side I wanted they gave me a baguette, and I simply asked Ana if she could switch it out for a bag of chips instead.
Most of the stuff is friendly“

“I just would like to say the Panera bread near 180th St. In Elkhorn is amazing. I’ve been to other locations, but this location was a well run restaurant, The employees were top-notch friendly from the beginning to the end . The quality of the service and the food was 110%! Great job ,other restaurants learn a lot from the way this place is being run. Great job.!“
