Come in and try the Berry Blossom Cold Brew. It's so refreshing and has a lovely lavender foam. We also like the scones; I liked the blueberry lemon and my partner likes the bacon cheddar. read more

Hidden gem! The interior is beautiful and there's PLENTY of nice seating. The lighting and decor makes for a calming vibe - feels completely different than the downtown feel of it's location. Perfect for school work and coffee dates. The staff is also great and super friendly. I got the silk latte which was pretty good, I look forward to trying more drinks and food items here! read more

Zen Coffee Company - Iced Silk latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Came here a couple of times while working in the area. The first time I got the everything avocado toast with lox added. There was plenty of salmon and avocado, but everything together with the bagel seasoning was a bit salty, I'd get it without the seasoning next time. The tea was refreshing. The second time I got the honey bee toast which was loaded with sliced bananas and bee pollen sprinkled on top. I've never had been pollen before and it was interesting. The service was quick and they have a bunch of cute merch as well. There's plenty of seating inside. read more

Zen Coffee Company - Strawberry Nutella toast and Tiramisu iced Latte! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Cute place to relax and enjoy some coffee. I opted for the coffee flight and lox bagel / toast. $11 for a one sided bagel is a bit steep but no big. $23 for the coffee flight of 4 coffees. I didn't love any of them, so I can't recommend but I was a little sad when I noticed, an hour or so later, that there was a spring menu that looked much more appealing - not sure why the cashier didn't point that out as I was asking questions like it was my first time... oh well, not a bad spot overall. read more

Service was quick and friendly. Very spacious a s this place also has a lot of tables for studying or doing work! The coffee was mid, got the iced honey bee latte and iced banana bread but flavor wasn't strong. Cant really taste honey or banana flavor, tasted cinnamon but both tasted similar. The banana lemon scone was warmed up, moist, and delicious! The cinnamon chip scone had a slight cinnamon crunch but more on the dry side but still good! Will have to come back again to try their toast flight - many options that sounds good! read more

Zen Coffee Company - Mystic lemonade, cold brew with mocha, and a blueberry scone - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Wonderful establishment with excited staff with incredible recommendations. Too many positive things about this place!

highly raved about in omaha so was intrigued to see what it would be like in lincoln. coffee flights are a genius idea, similarly so are the double sided cups. coffee selection is wide - drink selection in general. going to any new place have only been open two weeks i feel tho is hard. everything assumably is just stressful. that said service was a bit slower that expected. however, it was nothing crazy. the shop is very cute and spacious. would be a nice place to study, catch up, etc read more

Oofta. I really really really wanted to like this. My husband and I went a couple weeks ago to share a coffee flight and a toast flight. I LOVE when places serve flights because I'm terrible at making decisions and love trying smaller amounts of different things as opposed to larger quantities of one thing and you can experience more of the menu quicker. And this menu looked really fun! But it was over $60 for coffee and toast(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) And it didn't even fill us up. I STILL have sticker shock 2 weeks later. I will say as a positive that the toasts were great, interesting selections, we liked all 4 flavors we got and the presentation was cute. (We got the Lox/cream cheese bagel, Nutella/Strawberry, Avocado Pesto, and Caprese.) $28 for 4 slices of toast though? OUCH. The coffee flight was $23 for 4 small glasses (I'm not sure exactly of the size, but I would guess 6-8 oz) but if you work it out, you could just get the medium 16 oz drinks for the same price. For mini portions don't you think it would be a lower price? That just does not add up, and I feel duped. Check out the prices of flights vs. full glasses for places like Hopcat and Kinkaider and you'll see how it's done right. We tried Butterbeer, Belgian Waffle, Honey Bee, and Cinnamon Dolce. With the exception of the waffle on top (which was great), all.four.coffees tasted positively *identical*. How is that even possible? Aren't there supposed to be flavor syrups in it or something? You need to adjust your recipes because there was absolutely NO flavor. As we kept drinking we thought maybe the flavors had settled at the bottom, but no. All the same to the very last drop. Plus they spilled because the board they're on doesn't allow for any place for your fingers to grip and set it down. There are rubber sticky things on the bottom so it won't move, but that also means you can't just set a corner of it down in order to slide it smoothly onto a table. The employee spilled it trying to set it down at the counter, then more spilled at the table because it just can't be done gracefully. (It wasn't his fault, mostly just the design of the board and weight of the glasses that makes this impossible.) He was very apologetic and the staff was very kind, but at these prices for totally mediocre coffee that all tasted the same, I cannot justify ever going back. read more

It's an open floor plan that is common. The flower decor that is actually well executed everything ties really good together. The staff is nice and communicative towards each other. The coffee is soothing tried the coffee and the strawberry scone. read more

Stopped by one my way back to Omaha. Each interior is different from store to store but this may have been my favorite. Very spacious and spread out and had the same great taste as I've come to expect from the other locations! read more

What a wonderful addition to Downtown Lincoln! The atmosphere is lovely and very relaxing. As with all the other Zen locations, the service is terrific with friendly baristas. Extensive, and very creative selection of quality coffee drinks and tasty treats! read more

Zen is by far my favorite coffee shop I've ever visited. The drinks are delicious and creative. Service is friendly and fast. The ambiance is relaxing, peaceful and unlike any other I've seen. I've been to all of their locations in Omaha and Lincoln and definitely recommend. read more
