I really wanted to love this spot. Astute Coffee is absolutely beautiful inside -- clean, warm,…read morethoughtfully designed, and somewhere you actually want to linger. 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. That said, the coffee itself didn't quite hit for me. I ordered a seasonal latte and was excited for something distinctive, but the flavor felt pretty muted. 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.

Astute is very truly a GEM among the Omaha coffee shop community…read more You can expect warm hospitality, bright and spacious seating areas, thoughtfully made pour overs and a fun seasonal menu. When I get the chance to sit somewhere for awhile, Astute is my first choice. It's generally quiet enough to read or study, and the pour over service is truly exceptional. The roasters they choose to work with are some of the best around. Astute's employees' commitment to serving their clients well and learning about the nuances of each coffee make for an excellent adventure each time. ++also, they carry Pettit's Pastries and you're gonna need to grab a donut while you're here. Best in town!++

Located just on the outskirts of downtown and within…read morewalking distance of several nearby hotels, Zen is a great option if you're looking to venture slightly off the beaten path for good coffee. The space is relaxed and has a welcoming vibe with two distinct seating areas offering a mix of tables, lounge chairs, and sofas. The music is at a comfortable level, with plenty of folks settled in on their laptops working and studying. Even though it was cold outside, I ordered a medium iced mocha. It was rich and chocolaty without being overly sweet. Despite a decent crowd inside, my drink was ready within minutes and service was genuinely friendly. Overall, this is a solid neighborhood coffee shop that's worth the short walk if you're staying nearby.

Visited 05/02/26: 9:44 am Parking can be difficult at this…read morelocation due to limited parking spaces. I paid to park along the street to grab my latte this morning. The cashier was friendly and helped me apply the eGift card that I had purchased. The Bees Knees Latte that I used to order is no longer on the menu, so I tried a Honey Bee, similar, just without the aromatics. 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.

LOVED the building and owner:)…read more This place has an unmatched rustic vibe. It has charm and character, and a story to it. What was so sad was the rave reviews, and stellar experiences listed had my expectations through the roof! The matcha tasted like close to nothing, more like a sweet milk. I don't recommend grabbing this drink if you stop by! The coffee was robust, and quite interesting. It's a fun stop for the vibes and chatting, not for me taste wise! Thanks for the amazing experience though:)

This coffeehouse is at the end of a small greenway that runs diagonally through the neighborhood…read more It is not a business-y area and the cafe itself has been decorated up splendidly. As a non-coffee drinker, my first choice chai was not available, but their matcha produced an interesting result, which was sweetened but not overly sweet. Despite the fact that they offer house made almond and cashew milk, I was a bit surprised that they recommended sticking with the local dairy milk for those that do dairy. I gave it a shot and I suspect it did contribute a lot of the flavor. They had a small baked goods selection heavy on the vegan and gluten-free, and the chocolate chip cookie with salt had a slightly unusual texture bad was a credible cookie with plenty of chocolate. It is the sort of place that caters to special diets and offers specific local options, and the quality was worth coming back for.

Myrtle & Cypress has a lot of charm, but the overall coffee experience was pretty average for us…read more The biggest highlight is the building itself. The coffee shop is housed in what appears to be a beautifully restored old home, giving it a warm, cozy atmosphere that's much more inviting than your typical modern café. It's a great place to relax and enjoy a quiet cup of coffee. I ordered a cortado, and my wife Laura had an espresso. Neither drink was bad, but neither really stood out either. I was hoping for a stronger, bolder cortado with a little more punch, and it ended up being just average. Our waitress was pleasant enough and took good care of us, but nothing particularly memorable. One thing that did strike me as odd was when I asked about the history of the house. Since it's such a unique building, I was curious to learn more, but she seemed somewhat evasive and told me the bare minimum. It was a little surprising given how much character the building has. Overall, Myrtle & Cypress is a nice place to visit if you're looking for a cozy atmosphere, but I think the coffee could be a bit stronger and more memorable. I'd consider coming back, especially for the ambiance, but there are other coffee shops in Omaha I'd probably choose first.

Cold brew with cream: too acidic (affording to my wife) and tastes more like an ice coffee and less like a cold brew. Maybe could have used more water? The acidity was very harsh. The latte was great, very smooth espresso paired with a yummy made in house brown sugar syrup. This is not the place to go if you like flavors as they only have ONE flavor. The brown sugar flavor is wonderful though! The person working was very patient as I looked over the menu for several minutes. Overall, a wonderful experience and it's beautiful inside!

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!

The coffee was delicious, but the vanilla lavender tea was not as good, but still Tea, my guest felt it should have been steeped longer. The egg hash with 2 waffles was great, the waffles were exceptionally good. It's a great choice if you find yourself here. 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!
