    Strawberry Banana Crepe & Cold Brew
    Jackie C.

    Crescent Moon Coffee is a cute little coffee shop in the Haymarket Area of Lincoln, Nebraska. It's a hidden gem because you walk down stairs at the corner of 8th & P Street to find the spot. This place has delicious coffee, crepes and muffins! There are a ton of tables inside and lots of room if you'd like to study down here. Since it's close to University of Nebraska, this place can get crowded on a game day morning. Be ready to wait awhile on these days if you are ordering a crepe. The staff was super nice and friendly. You can find free parking on the street. I would definitely come back here again!

    Atmosphere is quiet and dark. Peaceful but not a bustling coffee shop. Regular iced latte (no flavor) was $6. A bit pricey compared to other shops. Service was quick and very nice. Overall nice coffee shop.

    I loved everything about this place! I ordered the Hot Cortado and a Cinnamon & sugar crêpe. Both were super yummy!!! The ladies at the front counter were really nice. Was cool interacting with them when it was our turn to order and also when picking up our items. The coolest part was the awesome look of this underground café. It was like a cool modern day, non scary dungeon. Has plenty of seating, good size establishment. We enjoyed staying there and chatting a while. Will definitely be back and highly recommend!!!

    It is located downtown and downstairs. Nice quiet atmosphere! The egg and cheese crepe was delicious, perfect crepe flavor! The coffee was delicious too served in a wide mug to enjoy a full cup of Joe!

    Great place to study, relax, or hang out with friends! The drinks are so fun and beautifully made and there are options for everyone.

    A bit tricky to find at first, but altogether a very cute space and the coffee was worth the trek. If I'm in Lincoln again soon I would love to go to one of their open mic events. The panini was just ok; I'd love to see more plant based options on the menu. TLDR; there was plenty of seating and I'll definitely be back for the coffee!

    We have been in Lincoln for four days and yet to find a place that served espresso drinks the way I…read morewanted them. And that had a good flavor of coffee. I tried The Mill, it was tolerable. I tried Meadowlark coffee too. It was tolerable, but not good. Being from Kansas City, I did not realize how fortunate I am to have several spots with their own blend of beans, and freshly air roasted beans while you wait. But I'm so glad we stayed an extra day because we came across Cultiva Coffee. It was about 10 minutes from our hotel and it was so worth it. They also had a seasonal crêpe that had strawberries and chocolate ganache. It was so good. No, it was excellent. My husband and I almost fought over the last bite. But we were certainly measuring up the size of the bites. Lol the atmosphere was so cute and original. I absolutely loved it. I took a minute to tell them how much I appreciated them before I left, but I'm also telling you now. In addition to the Coffee, I appreciated the Service. When I ordered, the young lady never made me feel like I needed to hurry with what I was gonna say or that I wanted too many details. I appreciate this as an older person. I get tired of the impatience of young people these days and she was very kind. And the person who made the drink, made it perfectly to my liking. Not too hot to where I had to wait to drink it, but not just warm like it had been cooling off. I admit, I am very critical when it comes to my cappuccino. That's why I make it at home most the time so I can have it the way I want it. So a place that checked all the boxes is rare to me. If you try this place, I hope you have the same experience.

    Cultiva coffee is my new favorite coffee and breakfast place in Lincoln! Omg. The coffee quality is…read moreso good. I immediately knew after taking my first sip. I told the barista how I like my coffee, which is strong, iced and sweet. I also told her I was debating between the dirty Barcelona and iced Cuban. She recommended the dirty Barcelona and it did not disappoint. However I will say it was a little too sweet for me. I'll have to try the iced Cuban next time. Nonetheless, the coffee was absolutely delicious. I finished it quickly. In addition to the amazing coffee here, I trulyenjoyed their food!! They specialize in crepes, savory and sweet, omelettes, and pancakes! Don't sleep on their food y'all. I ended up ordering a build -your-own meal which consisted of a bagel, eggs, cream cheese, and three sides; salsa, chipotle mayo and sausage. Let's just say I ate and left no crumbs. Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Frfr. My toddler got the apple pie pastry, also a 10 out of 10!! There are board games and coloring pages for kiddos. Plus merchandise and coffee beans available for purchase. There's lots of seating inside and street parking outside. I'm definitely coming back here with more people and plan to spread the word about this amazing spot. 1000 out of 10 recommend. :)

The muffin was really good, nice and thick while still being fluffy and soft. I had a dirty chai and it was very hot, so I'll have to remember that for next time! Service was quick for a Friday morning, so that was a great thing too!

    This place is very popular in Lincoln, Nebraska because of their long history and the shops are…read moreconveniently located everywhere. The cappuccino in my opinion, wasn't wonderful. I ordered a mocha half calf. It was drinkable if you just want caffeine. The café had a lot of seating and some shopping. Something unusual to me was a selection of different kinds of chocolate covered items that you could buy in measurement. Not prepackaged. The location we visited was in Haymarket District downtown. It's been there 45 years. They're baked goods are made downstairs I was told. I tried the coffee cake, which was excellent, but I did not care for the chocolate croissant. It was very tough and very little chocolate. I did like the outside terrace seating which faced the main street of the Haymarket district. It was shaded and very nice breeze went through there on a hot day. I love the experience of the shop and the terrace, but if I'm looking for good the flavor of coffee, I would probably go somewhere else.
