50 Best Cafes in Omaha

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

“They have the best food in the world! I especially like their blueberry pancakes with eggs.“

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

“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“

“I had the pleasure of having lunch here the other day. Oh my gosh what an explosion of flavor in my mouth. I've actually known the owners for over 20 years. They always have been and still are very passionate about providing excellent, QUALITY food and outstanding service. You will not be disappointed, so don't hesitate reaching out to them with any catering or holiday meal prep desires.“

“I was just in the Dundee location. I picked up a coffee at Dundee Double Shot (favorite coffee in town) and took a drive through Country Club area (favorite spot in Omaha to feed my passion for local historical neighborhoods). I don’t commonly have a sweet tooth, but with the coffee I thought I’d see if Benson had a bakery (I’m dating myself but I remember the original one that was there for decades). No bakeries, but I found this one back in Dundee on Google. Stopped in and got a strawberry and a chocolate pastry for the road, per Abby’s suggestion. On Google they had hours til 5, but may have been a different location, so very sorry if I was last minute! Noticed here it says 3. Abby was GREAT! But my eyes were larger than my stomach. I ended up consuming both within a short time (woah!) Fantastic! Will definitely be back with the wife! Had to get out of the car to disperse of the powdered sugar on my hoody. Well worth it! Love the little independent shops!“

“I’m so sad we discovered this place on our last day in Omaha! The food was amazing and the staff were all very friendly. I would highly recommend checking out The Table Coffee Co.“

“My husband was skeptical when I said I wanted to go into a car dealership for lunch after doing my research- Truly a hidden gem! These guys were so friendly and accommodating, and it was obvious without saying that they love what they do. The food was fantastic (especially the traditional enchiladas with chili con queso added). The kids love cars so this was such a cool treat for them to gawk at all the indoor vehicles while we were waiting. 10/10 recommend!“

“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.“

“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. 😊“

“We went yesterday and the servers were very nice. The food was amazing. When I come back to Omaha I will stop here again. Mejor servicio“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Last weekend we went to Lola's for dinner with friends. We had the chicken and pasta specials. They were delicious! Our waiter was friendly and very helpful describing the specials. Service was timely and we made it to The Shelterbelt for a play with ease!“

“Awesome food. Breakfast was great!“

“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“

“Muy delicioso los huaraches los tacos de sudero muy bien lugar y sobre todo los meseros muy buenas personas solo a la salsa roja para unos buenos tacos yo la cambiaría Ben y disfruta“

“Everything we’ve eaten there has been absolutely delicious. And the customer service is very friendly. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“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.).“

“Absolutely phenomenal food here at early bird at first I never had the time to go due to work and school but I finally was able to go in and see what’s up to which I was greeted warmly and served by Paulina who did amazing and I ate some great food so contrary to my lack of time if anyone does have some time to eat out and leave with a full happy stomach check it out sometime overall great experience and I hope to go again sometime soon.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Hidden gem for lunch . They make an amazing chicken sandwich and the burger is one of the best in Omaha . The prices are reasonable and the dining area has nice views.
It seems unintuitive to choose to eat lunch in a workplace cafeteria but this place is on a different level(at least for the grilled food I’ve tried)“

“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!“

“Delicious food and super friendly staff! They served our party of 12 quickly, and our food came out perfectly!“

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

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Honestly Scott Cafe is hit or miss depending on what they're serving that day. But I'd say most of the time there's always an option for me to enjoy! Prices are expensive I think, but what isn't expensive these days?
Something that I dislike, though, is how loud it gets when busy due to the college students. Overall, I'm satisfied.“

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

“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!“

“Friendly staff, delicious food, wonderful party room, custom to food allergies, thank you for serving our community!

I get their breakfast burrito has spicy cheese curds and they're kind to let me have corn beef as a substitute!“

“Delicious Italian - support local!“

“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'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.“

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

“I had a catering order that I had to add more to pretty last minute and the team was able to assist me right away. The bagels were very fresh and tasty. Jeremy and the team at this location do not disappoint and offer such great customer service. Better than I could even ask for.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Bread bowls are delicious 🤤“

“The manager (I think the name tag said John) was all over it today. Running food, bussing tables, helping older customers and checking on everyone. It was refreshing seeing such a high level of engaged leadership and customer care that is so rare these days. Great food and experience!“

“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.!“

“I dropped in early one morning to grab a couple donuts and ended up leaving with a small box because everything looked so fresh. The glazed donut had a nice light texture, and the apple fritter was way better than I expected. The staff was friendly without being over the top, and my order came out quick. Prices felt fair too. It's the kind of bakery I'd come back to when I'm craving something sweet. Def worth checking out if you're in the area and want a fresh donut.“
