    Another great cozy outing to 13th street! Figured I'd update the review to include food since I got a panini this time. I wish I remembered the exact name of the sandwich, but I don't - it was the one with mozzarella, pesto, tomato, etc. It's been one of my favorite sandwiches for years. I'm not sure exactly what it is about it that makes it so perfect, maybe it's just impossible for anything to taste bad in such a cozy environment. Everything was delicious as always!

    Great place with cool vibes and lots of options for drinks. Highly recommend, especially if you are in the downtown Omaha area checking out the other shops around there.

    Cool vibes and lots of options! I only got to stop for a coffee and sweet treat, but this place seems like a cozy coffee shop where you can sit down and read a good book for a long time. I got the May special - Midnight Rose Coffee - it was SO good and truly had a slight hint of rose taste.. YUM! The best? As always they had a GF item I needed try! It was the blueberry lemon scone. While the flavor was delicious, it did taste like it had been sitting out for a week... that was disappointing. The unique? There small wall of books has the option to buy a book for just $4, what a steal!

    Went there for coffee on Saturday morning and enjoyed the experience. The ambience is very warm, old books, nice furniture, very cozy feel. The Barista was very pleasant and professional and made some good coffees. Ordered the specials, Chunky Monkey and Grand Slam, iced. The drinks tasted perfect for a hot summer day and the Barista was able to adjust it out specific requests. Also got a chocolate croissant, was okay, probably became soft and little soggy after being nuked in the microwave. Overall good experience, Will definitely go back for the drinks and service.

    Main floor

    Unfortunately I would not recommend this coffee spot. The vibe being attempted is clearly a hip, laid back, eclectic coffee shop. The furniture and the physical setting aren't clean or cute enough to achieve that goal which just leaves it feeling like a random mess of tables and homemade art. The lighting in the upstairs section is so bright it's insane and the main floor is so dark you can hardly do homework once the sunlight is gone. The ambiance just makes no sense to me. As for the coffee: overpriced and not very good :( I want to like local spots but this one just does not do it for me. A medium hot chocolate was 5.75 and not that good... no whipped cream or anything special. Tasted about the same as the mix you buy at the store. I know prices are high right now with inflation, but I don't think the quality of the drinks matches the price. Baristas have been kind every time I've been here. You can also only order the specialty lattes in a size large which runs you over $7. Last time I got a specialty coffee is tasted awful. It was somehow both incredibly bitter and overly sweet. I'd suggest heading over to Hardy or Zen instead.

    I was torn between 3 stars and 2....perhaps I defaulted to 2 stars out of disappointment of the coffee itself. The place itself is well located, quaint, and has a great independent coffee shop charm. The young woman (owner, most likely) was friendly and re-made my cappuccino without complaint. However....it was as if no real attempt was made to be dedicated to this craft. At every point, it was lacking. -originally, when I was given a cappuccino, it was in a 16 oz to-go cup and the drink was mostly milk; -when re-made (to be able to taste the coffee itself) the coffee flavor was flat and lacked any discernible characteristics; -the milk was more "foamed" than steamed really... meaning that there was tons of very light foam, but no sweet caramelized flavor when the milk is brought to the proper temperature of about 165F; -the service heads of the espresso machine did not appear to be clean or regularly wiped down (my drink had coarse coffee grinds in it); -the grit of the espresso was likely too coarse (I say this because I saw the grit in my coffee) and would in part explain the lack of a distinctive espresso flavor; -the interior of the coffee bean bins along the wall were coated in coffee bean oil, likely built up over some time without any cleaning or maintenance. As I may have indicated, I really wanted to like this place, but until there is a concerted effort to attend to the craft of making wonderful coffee (frankly, all the means are right there) there are a couple other shops in town that I'll go to first.

    The oldest coffee shop in Old Market and a book-lover's paradise. Drop in for coffee & a pastry and spend the afternoon lost in a $4 used book. Building is an old converted storage unit featuring a cozy looking loft (couldn't preview as it is closed for COVID). Bonus points for having Holly's Healthy Holes.

    If you're in the area, I'd recommend Sozo instead. The espresso isn't bad, but their specialty lattes only come in size large. The baristas (the two times I've been) have never been very kind. I'd rather go somewhere else.

    Iced Vanilla Latte, and the Shop Front Entrance.

    The egg in the breakfast sandwich was literally crunchy. The bread was a brick. Over heated so badly the cheese was gone.

    Dry cappucino is not supposed to be heavy, that would make it a latte. Other than that great place to sit and sip

    WOW! We went twice in three days because it was that good…read more The food is fresh, delicious, and packed with healthy options. The value is great too. I was pleasantly surprised that a waffle comes included with the skillets, and even more surprised that it's a house-made protein waffle. Such a nice touch! The coffee was just as impressive as the food. They have a huge variety of flavors and customization options. Their lattes are on the sweeter side, which I personally love, and the coffee itself is smooth. The cold foam is fantastic. I also appreciate that all drinks come in to-go cups. As a slow coffee drinker, I love being able to take my coffee with me when I'm ready to leave. The atmosphere is great as well, especially the patio. Our first visit was during a busier time, and while our server was incredibly friendly, the patio didn't get checked on very often beyond ordering and food delivery. When we came back a few days later and sat inside, the service was fantastic. Multiple staff members checked on us throughout our meal, and the experience felt much more attentive. It may have just been a difference between the patio and indoor seating or the level of busyness. Overall, we were impressed enough to come back within three days, which says a lot. Great food, great coffee, great atmosphere. Highly, highly recommend!

One thing to be prepared for tall people... the seat and table height are not great. You'll be crouching down to get food in your mouth before it falls off of your fork. The tables are low, and the seats are too high. As a shorter person I had to crouch and slouch over my food to get it into my mouth. This, sadly would be the one reason I'd not return. Also, This is a different type of restaurant, they're a church restaurant. Odd, but interesting. Either way, great waffles, cool staff!

The branding and overall vibe feel intentional, and I genuinely appreciate their mission and what they're trying to build in Omaha. That part really stands out.

It tasted more like a standard latte than something seasonal or layered. Not bad by any means -- just not memorable. I'd still come back to try something else because the space and concept are strong. I just hope the drinks lean a little more bold next time.

Not as good, but I am sure I could have asked for something closer to the original latte, so that is not on them. Ambience is great, well decorated, and plenty of tables. The baristas were having a conversation that would be deemed inappropriate by many, especially since the young man had a few colorful things to say that got some good laughs from his coworkers; luckily, I don't mind hearing the gossip while I wait for my beverage. Fairly quick service considering how busy they were. I recommend stopping by if there is a free space open.
