These guys are solid. Its low key, chill vibes. Music is there but I can go there and think/work. I tried a mocktail and it hit just right. All in all I do recommend checking this place out.

Highly recommend if you need time to read in a great space! I have been there 3 times already and it has never disappointed. The bartenders are always great (serve table side) and for me being a college student feels amazing to have a student discount as well! I have done cocktails so far, each one has been delicious. What I appreciate is the bartender doesn’t try to push you out the door when you’re done drinking, they seem to make sure you are enjoying your time at the Reading Room!

All truth to be told, awesome atmosphere! A place that Starbucks could only hope to inspire to be. Alcohol, coffee and tea all in the same place, with small plates (admittedly I did not try), but would encourage to dabble the snack menu. The staff, outstanding, friendly and warm. Cannot say enough about this place in downtown Omaha. Experience something that is one of a kind, come read poetry, and enjoy the other events that they hold. If you ever visit Omaha come and stop on by to soak up the vibes!

The Reading Room is an enchanting haven for book lovers and foodies alike! Located in Omaha, this cozy spot offers a unique atmosphere that combines a love for literature with delicious dining options.

The menu is thoughtfully crafted, featuring a variety of dishes that cater to different tastes. I highly recommend the breakfast burrito—it's hearty and packed with fresh ingredients, making it the perfect start to your day. The avocado toast is another delightful option, beautifully presented and full of flavor.

What makes The Reading Room truly special is its extensive selection of books available for patrons to browse and enjoy while dining. It creates a wonderful ambiance where you can relax and unwind with a good read or engage in deep conversation.

The coffee and drink menu is equally impressive, featuring expertly brewed coffee and various teas. The chai latte I had was well-spiced and comforting, a perfect pairing with my meal.

Service is friendly and attentive, with staff who are welcoming and knowledgeable about both the menu and the many books on offer. If you're looking for a charming spot to enjoy a meal and some reading time in Omaha, The Reading Room is definitely worth a visit!

Always such a warm and welcoming atmosphere, the Reading Room is my favorite downtown place to visit! Whether I’m working on personal projects drinking a Kipling, or reading a scary book and imbibing one of Marianna’s curated cocktails, the vibe is always right.

Didn't have the food but the menu drinks were delicious. Marianna custom made two of our drinks and they were amazing.
Comfy chairs, chill atmosphere, perfect for a good drink and a book.
