Perfect last stop after loading cars this morning. It's been a tough college year and to end sitting outside with great tea in adorable pots and a fabulous breakfast was really needed. Positive end to a tough isolated year. Thanks The Hub Cafe for helping us end the year on a fabulous positive vibe! Loved the outdoor seating, huge breakfast portions and service! read more

I actually had forgotten I'd ever visited the cafe before until I saw a prior Yelp review. I was actually very impressed this time. I wanted to try just about everything on the menu. The quinoa power bowl was delicious with the homemade tahin. I had a strawberry chocolate latte. I believe it was on the menu uniquely for Valentine's Day. It was really delicious. I was worried about it being too sweet but the strawberry used and light chocolate made for excellent flavor without being overpowering and feeling like I was drinking a dessert. read more

Excellent biscuits and gravy, friendly and prompt service, nice outdoor seating with view of creek and trail. I'll be back! read more

The Hub Cafe - a plate of food and a laptop - Cafes Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Three of us ate breakfast at The Hub last weekend and it was great! I had the Mole Chilaquiles which was a variety of chilaquilles I hadn't had before and now I am a fan. The coffee was excellent and the service was friendly and professional. This was not our first time at The Hub and will definitely not be our last! read more

Chilaquiles were outstanding. Like best I've ever had. Add eggs to it (we also added avocado). Delicious flavors and perfectly executed. Espresso machine was down but they happily made my wife an iced latte. Great service and great food! read more

The menu is a stray from our standard choice, but it's a nice change. I enjoyed a farm egg sandwich with bacon. My wife had the grown up grilled cheese. Both good, but too much pesto on the grillled cheese. We just scraped it off. Not a big deal. We had some good coffee with our sandwiches. The place was packed and they still delivered our order quickly. We will stop by next time we need a change in our menu. read more

I probably shouldn't update this every time I go but I'm always impressed. I've been there twice since my last review and loved every minute of it. The service, the atmosphere, and of course, the food. The last two times I was so impressed with the bulgogi tacos I got them both times. They are very meaty and have so much great flavor. Topped with a runny egg. Oh my. It also has the perfect amount of spice and the kim chi flavors mixed with the cilantro is a very nice touch. I also love to get the Moroccan Mint Tea (because I get my own little pot of SUPER hot water). My co-worker had the Vietnamese bowl. He said it was really fresh, the pork belly was delicious and well prepared. Kim chi was nice and the radishes gave it a nice kick. The fried egg was also a nice touch and the lemon added a nice citrusy, fresh taste. Overall a wonderful, flavorful dish. The squash ban mi also got rave reviews. My friend added avocado for a bit more oomph. The squash was not hot, the Kim chi gave it a crunch, the avocado was a good choice, and the bread was crunchy just how she likes it. It's really just a wonderful little place. A little loud sometimes but always busy and I always feel welcome. Keep it up Hub Cafe!! read more

This place seems like a great choice until you receive your food and all the sudden all the fruit flies and flies start comming your way. I'll probably just order coffee and sit outside next time. read more

I was super excited to try this place for breakfast with farm to table concept. Big supporter of sustainable food. The place has a hipster vibe to it and the music was good. Ordered the biscuits and gravy. Presentation looked great. Disappointingly the food was tepid in temperature. I also paid extra for sausage and received a scanty amount. Don't recommend paying extra for it. The gravy is tasty and the biscuit unique with a smoky flavor to it. Had this been served piping hot they would've received 4 stars. read more

I want to give 5 stars but can't. 5 stars for food quality and flavor for sure. Gluten free options galore which is great. My wife and I each had the Chicken Bulgogi tacos and she got a side of avocado and I got a side of chorizo. Everything was exploding with flavor and done very well, even the side of greens that came with the tacos had a nice rich creamy dressing added in a light just right amount. I give four stars because I hate this awkward order at the counter then sit down stuff. You have to bus your own table and I saw a bucket with a rag in it, do I have to clean my own table too? I suppose it helps them keep prices down by not have an extra person walking around taking orders, cleaning tables etc but it would really improve the customer experience. That being said I will be back for sure because the food was awesome! Oh yeah, I had a latte also which was done very well too. Don't forget your tasty coffee drink. read more

The Hub Cafe - a plate of food and a cup of coffee - Cafes Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

ASOLUTELY LOVE THE HUB, however, today was not a good day. We ordered and sat at a table overlooking the park. New diners joined us and were served while we waited for over 30 min. Finally we inquired as to our order and were told it would be right out. This photo is what we were served. My avocado toast was charred and my husband's over easy egg was crispy and the rest of his farmer's breakfast was inedible. We didn't take it back as are traveling, went out of our way to eat here and felt we couldn't take more time. So sad. read more

The Hub Cafe - Farmer's Breakfast w easy over egg. Burnt offerings today. - Cafes Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

The Hub Cafe is popular with my family whom I came to visit and I met my daughter there for lunch based on proximity to her work and her dietary preferences. Being near the campus the ambience was pretty much what I expected and we arrived just prior to lunchtime. Obviously many were frequent diners and were busy enjoying conversations and food choices. As a new diner I always pay attention to what others are eating and will often ask for suggestions from others. Ordering was straightforward and the order taker very friendly and proficient in her duties. Having never ordered Avocado Toast in a restaurant before and on the advice of daughter i ordered it. I would say that it met all expectations with the exception of being what I felt was a very skimpy portion of avocado as the photo references. On the other hand the bread and the actual taste of the dish was extremely good. Still I have never seen a recipe for the dish with so little avocado. I heartily recommend Hub Cafe and the taste of the dish, just don't expect much avocado. All in all a pleasantly informal cafe I look forward to enjoying again with friends and family. read more

The Hub Cafe - Avocado Toast - Cafes Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Love the Hub. The avocado toast is my favorite thing on the menu. There is usually a long wait time and seems like there would be no place to sit, but I never have issues with getting a seat. read more

I think this place is fine, but falls short in what it tries to be. I took my family (7 of us, 4 were college kids) and we had a pretty wide variety. The biscuits and gravy either had way too much biscuit or way short of gravy. It was just extremely dry. Same problem with the French toast. The compote that comes with it is good, but there's not nearly enough, or they need to give you 3 ounces of syrup to supplement. The fried breakfast potatoes were good, just under seasoned. So quality service, quality ingredients, quality menu, but lackluster execution. read more

My friend and I went to The Hub Café the other day for lunch. It's a really nice little shop with a café/bar atmosphere and a friendly/fun vibe. We ordered the daily special, which was pizza chicken, made with blue cheese, celery, and a spicy red sauce. I can't narrow down exactly which flavor to attribute this to, but the dish tasted more Asian-inspired than classic Italian. All the flavors worked really well together; the dish was totally delicious and the portion size was more than large enough for the two of us to share. We also ordered a sandwich to share; it was served on fresh, crusty baguette bread, and it was served with a mixed green salad that was surprisingly difficult to keep our forks! Both the sandwich and the salad were excellent, and the sandwich was large enough to feed two hungry people easily :-) Service was prompt, efficient, and friendly; prices were reasonable. I look forward to returning to try more of their menu items. read more

Everything about this place is incredible, the food, the service and the vibe. We had the skillet and originally ordered the French toast. The chef himself came out and talked to uscame when they couldn't make the French toast and worked with us to find other options. I can't recommend this place enough!! read more

The Hub Cafe - Skillet and blueberry protein bowl - Cafes Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Throwing some vegetables in a bowl took them one and a half hour! When I was told it would be about 40min wait which was ridiculous enough. When I checked with them after a hour sitting and waiting they just asked "what did you order?" Then left. Didn't tell me an estimate of waiting time nor apologized. The whole time no one said sorry that they forgot my order and about the long wait. Horrible management and customer service. read more

The Hub Cafe - One hour and a half wait for this. - Cafes Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

I am very easy to please with an omelette, and even easier to please with breakfast potatoes in any form, but I have to say this plate was one of the finest examples of both I've had in several years. Everything was so fresh and made with care, and an enormous portion to boot. The service here is friendly and invested in doing a good job, just a little disorganized, but I can hardly be mad about that when they stay so busy. I'm a big fan of the decor in here and the landscaping outside. It's a really nice place to have a meal. I'd call it restful if not for the way the polished concrete amplifies the sound inside into a cacophony. None of my minor complaints will prevent me from returning, though I have been thwarted on prior attempts by the parking situation- you can only approach from the south if you want to park in front, and to park down the street means paying for your spot. All said, worth the effort. read more

The Hub Cafe - Omelette of the day - Cafes Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

This place was crazy busy on a Saturday at lunch. We were here post UNL graduation and it was a good place for a large group, with no reservations, and special food restrictions. Also, their food is from locally sourced farmers. I like to be supportive of places like this for sure! I ordered the huevos rancheros adding avocado for 99 cents more. Plus I customized my eggs to be harder and not runny. It really was delicious and had a bit of heat to it. Most of us had water and it was a serve yourself station. One of the water stations only had ice left in it, but there were two water stations. They also had tubs to collect dishes, so it was definitely a help yourself atmosphere. If I was to gave any low marks the food wait time was long but I acknowledge we had 12 in our group. read more

A few of my friends decided to try this place for our Saturday brunch. We loved the food, coffee, and atmosphere! Really appreciate how they make their own whipped cream cheese for their sourdough toast -- so good! It's definitely at hot-spot brunch spot to get their early if you can! read more

Had the omelet of the day, ham spinach and Muenster. Fun atmosphere and great service

good food, friendly staff, and willing to work with food allergies. Would definitely recommend cc

A warm and inviting space with a simple and flavorful menu. A farm-to-table operation put together by Branched Oak farm, it is an exciting new entry to the Lincoln dining scene. As of this review, The Hub has been open for 1 month. The service was high quality, but was slow. Same goes for the food. The portions are also a touch smaller than I'd like, but everything our group tried was delicious! My Smashed Avacado Toast was fantastic! read more

Hub Cafe is a great little place overlooking the bike trail. It's run by Branched Oak Farm, and the ingredients are locally grown/sourced and fresh. The menu is limited, but that just means they take care to make what they offer great! I had the Shakshuka, my friend hadthe Egg Sandwich (added bacon), and we split the French Toast. I also had a cold brew (tasty!). The Shakshuka was delicious and very filling. The warming spices warmed my tummy and my soul. The older pictures show a lot more flatbread with it...mine came with 1/2 piece of lightly toasted bread sticking up like a shark fin. The review of the biscuit sandwich was that it was the best biscuit my friend has ever eaten! It comes with just egg and cheese, so be sure to add meat or avocado per your breakfasty desires. The french toast was dee-lish, and was 2 large pieces of brioche, citrusy-quark, raspberry compote, pecans, and syrup. Quark is on many menu items, and if you don't know what it is, shame shame! J/K, I had no idea and had to google it as I perused the menu...it's a mild and delicious soft cheese that reminds me of mascarpone. If you're in the area, or riding/running on the trails, this is a great spot to grab a bite or coffee! It's only open for breakfast and lunch, and it started to get pretty busy around 11:15. There is a ton of bicycle parking out front. I'll definitely come again, as the food is great, and it supports a local farm! read more

The avocado and lemon preserve toast was sooo good! Friendly, clean and great atmosphere!

I would give this 5 stars except for one thing that made me want to to write this review. I've eaten at the hub several times and always enjoy it. This morning, I was really craving a cup of tea before work so I ordered earl gray and toast with quark and jam to go. Please ask your barista to either leave the tea bag in the tea when they give it to me or or at least offer it to me. My tea wasn't steeped enough to flavor the milk water. Earl gray has a strong taste but all a got was a cup of steamed milky water that kinda had a slight taste of earl gray. The more I walked to work, the more annoyed I became. I lamented the missing tea bag.... enough to write a review about. I bet it would have been an epic cup of tea by the time I reached city campus. The toast was awesome though. read more

The food was bland/flavorless. I ordered the farm fresh breakfast so I wasn't expecting spicy or anything but it definitely could've had salt/pepper on the egg or potatoes. My boyfriend got huevos rancheros which turned into a soupy mess that he almost needed a spoon for. On top of not being impressed with the meal itself the drink prices were insane. The only soda options were 3 different kinds of glass bottle drinks--there were no cheaper options. There are no fountain drinks so no free refills. The person in front of us ordered a glass of milk for $2.50 and it looked like a tiny little whiskey glass. We saw there were half gallons of milk and figured we could save money by picking that and they were $8.50!!! I can't think of any positives of picking this restaurant for brunch. read more

Had the Huevos Rancheros and it was DELICIOUS. I don't consider anything else on the menu if this dish exists, so if the huevos is good enough for me, then I'm 100% coming back for more food on the menu. The atmosphere at the Hub Cafe was also really great. It had a nice, warm, comfy atmosphere that makes it the perfect little cafe to get some work done in. Super excited for my next visit. read more

Good food, great coffee! Made a stop at the hub in Lincoln and wasn't disappointed. Definitely recommend if you're in the area. I had the farm Fresh breakfast and it was very fresh, well cooked and simply delicious. Order some French toast and if I was a local I would become a regular just to have them again. Food took slightly long to get but all in all it was completely worth the wait! read more

The atmosphere is really cute. The farm to table concept is a breath of fresh air and mostly delicious. However, there are a few issues we encountered today with the timing of food delivery and the service that need to be addressed. We arrived before noon on a Sunday and were pleased there was no line and ample seating. Our party of 6 ordered a variety of brunch entrees and drinks. I ordered a shakshuka as that sounded really warm and comforting on a cold day. I imagined the soft, runny yolk of the egg, the warm spices and the hearty potatoes and kale -- yum yum. We sat down and everything seemed lovely. Everyone's dishes arrived but mine. After 8-10 minutes of being polite and waiting for my food to arrive, I encouraged my family to eat. We all assumed my food was about to arrive. Nope. After asking twice and staff brushing aside the wait as normal --- my food arrived, just as all five other people I was dining with were cleaning their plates (a good 20mins after their food had arrived). What arrived was a sad shadow of what shakshuka should be. The egg was hard fried (no runny yolk, black crunchy egg white), the tomato/kale/potato stew base was dry and unappealing. The dish was piping hot but had probably been over cooked by 5-10 mins and the egg added as an afterthought not simmered within the tomato stew as it should be. The quark and bread were the dish highlights. I felt so rushed since everyone else was ready to go that I left 2/3 of the food in the skillet - wasn't even worth getting to go. The staff were unaware at best and aloof at worst of how ridiculous my wait time had been. If this wait is really typical for this dish, the kitchen should do a better job of timing other dishes or there should be a wait warning on the menu. But - the dish itself isn't even worth the wait -- maybe it was just my unlucky day but I'll never order this dish again. read more

The Hub Cafe is absolutely aces. The standard menu is incredible and they have specials each day that are equally great. We tried the crispy pork belly gyro bowl ($10.50), the breakfast sandwich with chorizo added ($10) and the savory breakfast bowl ($11) and all three had great flavor and left you feeling full but not weighed down. I highly recommend their cold brew as well ($3 when you dine in). They have outdoor tables on the patio but if it's full just get your food to go and sit at one of the many park benches overlooking the trail! read more

This place has a charm about it. From the care for the locally sourced ingredients, to the care for the people - you feel at home here and part of the family. The team at the Hub Cafe are a reflection of the kindness of the owner. He was observant, noting that an old friend of his was my Lyft driver and asked how my stay in Lincoln had been. He took the time to check in with a visiting customer and that spoke volumes of the importance of this hub. It offered a diverse and delicious meal selection, but it is special because of the people who provide such caring service. Pictured is the French toast plate. The citrus creme and raspberry compote were delicate and paired well with the thick and well seasoned toast. read more

One of the best breakfast places in Lincoln. The menu is so good and the food is amazing! Atmosphere is great. Sit on the patio.

The food is excellent but service is an afterthought at best, so today after ordering I was told it would be a forty five minute wait that my friends is a deal breaker! I have no idea who they think their customer is or if they have any concept of what the modern lunch hour is. Don't waste your lunch hour, just go somewhere else! F read more
