Crema's Take

The Hub Cafe is a farm-to-table breakfast and lunch spot in Lincoln that sources ingredients locally and takes real pride in dishes like their standout French toast—the kind of place where you actually want to linger over your morning. While their recent kitchen reorganization has created some inconsistency with wait times, the quality of their seasonal, thoughtfully-sourced food makes it worth planning your visit for a quieter time like a Wednesday morning. It's the kind of independent cafe that feels good to support, drawing a loyal crowd who keep coming back for that genuine connection between kitchen and community.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Open late. Family friendly.

Went here for the first time with my sister and it was so good! We tried to come one other time but the wait for food was too long so this time we came on a Wednesday! We got the Avocado + Preserved Lemon Toast and Roasted Sweet Potato Sandwich to eat, both were amazing!

I arrived at 9:37 didn't wait in line too long and ordered by 9:45. Didn't get my food until 10:23. I ordered the korean chicken tacos. I found 2 bones in the tacos. Overall the food was ok, service was below average and the atmosphere is cute.

We stopped in for lunch (my first ever visit) and had a fine experience. I ordered the Hub Skillet and my wife had the Avocado + Preserved Lemon Toast. The food came out pretty quickly but we decided to wait for our table mates to get their food. Despite ordering literally right…
