Hi, there!
As the saying goes, “Coffee smells and tastes like freshly ground heaven”. I have never met a person that didn’t like coffee, but the stress of finding a really good coffee shop in a new environment can be quite hectic. Bad coffee spoils a good day.
In the beautiful city of Lincoln, Nebraska, they have quite a number of local coffee shops. Most people who drink coffee don’t necessarily do it for the “fix.” They do it for the entire experience of it. Thus, more and more coffee shops are springing up in the city of Lincoln. So, whenever you feel the urge, here are the places you should go for the best coffee experience.

One great thing about this coffee spot is its location at the popular Lincoln’s Haymarket. So apart from freshly roasting their coffee and serving the best brew, they also sell coffee products and hardware, they are also quite a vegan shop with its list of vegan supplies too.

Meadowlark Coffee and Espresso
Their food and mixture of coffee and flavoring are a perfect blend of taste. It also has an in-house bakery that serves some of the best pastries I have ever had.
At Meadowlark, I discovered that purified water enhances the taste of coffee and tea blends and I can’t absolutely wait to try it out on my own.
They host great art shows and musicals too for entertainment, plus a 5-star service from their staff.

Cultiva
On my arrival to Lincoln, NE, I was told that Cultiva was really quite popular around the state and as soon as I had one of their Coffee blends, it wasn’t hard to figure out why they were so popular. It has such a rich taste of exotic flavors and blends.
Cultiva Labs is a roastery that locally produces its coffee beans with intricateness and hard work to produce the finest rich taste of blends.
They also offer some really great eats and treats like pancakes, crepes, etc. An awesome place for a cuppa or breakfast. It has three locations in the state.

Rock-N-Joe Coffee
One thing you would notice when you walk into the place is the Rock-n-Roll themed aesthetics. It is a fun, full-of-life spot for a great cup of coffee and some special treats, and other tea-based drinks. There is also an outdoor seating spot to have a feel of the environment while enjoying your drink.
Rock-N-Joe does not only love making coffee, they idolize it and this is shown in the way they make their coffee with the finest, quality ingredients. Although technology has come to take over and I am all for it, nothing beats handcrafted coffee and this is something Rock-N-Joe does and why a lot of us love it.

Bloom Coffee
Their latte espresso is one of their specialties at Bloom. I noticed they roast their own beans which is something rare.
I tried their iced-out lavender milk and it was super amazing. I recommend it to everyone, including their tasty burritos. The work done at raw form shows in the end product with such fine taste and aroma that awakens all senses.
Their pour-overs are also really good, a style savored by them.

Such a great place to relax and have a me-time. Had the London Fog tea, one of the specials on their menu and it tasted divine. They also have such friendly staff and a cozy feel to the environment. It is a place I recommend for outsiders.
Harbor loves to really put effort with their coffee and tea, the settings, the aroma, and the taste all go to say what a really dedicated brand they are to show the goodness of coffee.
