My favorite coffee drink is the granita, but you can't go wrong with any of their options. I also recently discovered they have a bar after hours!

The surprise of the night was the cheese on the beer cheese pretzel! It had no business being this good for "just a coffee shop" even though the Mill is always a 10/10!

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.

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.

The location on 204th Street in Gretna is clean, open, inviting ... but noisy. It's one of those warehouse-type settings where you really have to work at having a private conversation. Seating is expecially comfortable in the big chairs, but then you have to schootch them close together and lean in so you can hear each other, which is unfortunate. Granted, tables are set far apart, but this should be in addition to. Coffee was delicious, but the beignet bites were just so-so. Granted, one should not expect New Orleans beignets outside of New Orleans, but these little donut puffs had only a light dusting of powdered sugar (which I actually was thankful for because I wore black pants!), and there was a not-overly-pleasant surprise inside with an indistinguishable creamy substance that was sort of like the inside of a brown sugar cinnamon poptart, only less so. I hadn't been expecting that. The yogurt parfait was substantial and delicious. (The staff was friendly and helpful when making selections, but it didn't occur to me to ask about fillings.) I might visit again, but maybe at one of the other locations, if acoustics were more promising.

Depending if you come during the morning rush it may be a bit noisier but there are plenty of tables to sit at. Roast has the best chai in Aksarben, quality and price! They do up-charge for milk substitutes but the already great prices don't even make me flinch at the increase for oat milk. Well worth it! Their coffees are great and their espresso is a darker roast and nuttier but occasionally when I need more of a boost, I get a dirty chai and it's been my new morning addiction! Give it a stop if you're in the area and a coffee/tea lover.

The decor is minimal but I loved the different gold mirrors. When I ordered the cashier at the counter was all smiles and just a delight to talk to, she was super friendly. She was very helpful since it was the first time being there she explained everything so it was easy to make a good decision. I ordered a flight so I was able to sample for different signature flavors. My favorite was the Midnight Coconut and Crème Brûlée. I would recommend this coffee shop to anyone who is looking for a good coffee shop!

Wanted to try this coffee shop since it's literally two minutes away from our house…read more I had the wild berry smoothie, and my husband had the Crescent Brûlée. There are three flavors of smoothies to choose from: mango, wild berry, and strawberry. The Crescent Brûlée is a blend of caramel and vanilla, topped with whipped cream and a burnt sugar top. Both of the drinks we had tasted good. I'm not a big smoothie person--in fact, this is my first time ordering a smoothie in a long time--and I was very pleased with it. It was very smooth. Their menu is pretty extensive, in my opinion: coffee, tea, matcha, seasonal lattes, energy drinks, as well as some pastries and breakfast sandwiches. I also appreciated how easy it was to read their menu. I feel like a lot of the time in coffee shops, their menus are all over the place and you have to ask a lot of questions. This menu was nicely written. The shop has a very welcoming vibe, with different plants and displays. They also sell a few different things, such as clothes, sage, stickers, and different stones. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this coffee shop, and I will definitely be back.

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.

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.

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!
