Barista's Daily Grind ☕ is a must-stop on our annual road trip! We’ve stopped here a good 4-5 times now, and it is consistently great every single time. We’ve actually stopped going to the Scooter's closer to our hotel because the coffee here is just on another level. We usually grab the cold brew, and it’s excellent—much bolder and better flavor than the other options nearby. While there is a cozy indoor space , the drive-thru is our go-to for a quick, high-quality caffeine fix ☕ before hitting the road for the morning 🚗💨.
It doesn’t matter what location in Kearney I visit, I have the best experience. The staff is always so friendly and really get to know their regulars. The environment is also always so welcoming and drinks are always delicious! Barista’s is definitely my favorite coffee spot in Kearney and I highly recommend for anyone looking for a new place to try :)
Barista’s Coffee Shop Barista’s Coffee Shop delivers exceptional service and truly outstanding coffee—rich, smooth, and far beyond expectations in flavor. Every visit feels special thanks to their friendly staff and inviting atmosphere. Their chocolate-covered coffee beans are the perfect finishing touch—delicious, unique, and absolutely addictive. A must-visit for anyone who loves quality in every sip.
Stopped here on our way across the state and are enjoying our coffee and muffins! Service was excellent and efficient and I loved the atmosphere inside. Definitely worth driving into town for if you are passing through on the interstate.
All the stars, 5/5, definitely recommend. Extremely helpful and pleasant staff. I had a French toast Chai with 2 shots of espresso. She made it sugar-free and the exact temp that I asked for, and not to mention the vanilla raspberry muffin was amazing. My daughter got a hearts desire hot chocolate, she said it tasted amazing and when we come back through, we will definitely be stopping by to try something else.
