Cultiva East Campus

The Dirty Barcelona is easily the best coffee drink in town. I’m literally addicted. It’s strong enough to really get me going but still so delicious every time. Service is always quick too. Shoutout to Skyler for making my drink perfect and bringing great energy! ☕️

As a law student at Nebraska Law, finding good places around Lincoln to get that kick is crucial! Cultiva is right across the street from East Campus, which makes it convenient to pop in for a cup to go before class or to plop down in any of their seating areas to enjoy a drink while studying. This past visit with with a fellow classmate. I had an espresso and he had a tea. The espresso was on point. While I enjoy the energy kick espresso provides, I’m not enthusiastic about its flavor. So I asked the barista to sweeten it up and she did an amazing job! It was perfect. Not too sweet, but sweet enough. It can be a bit noisy inside, but it’s a coffee shop. What do you expect, lack of excitement and dead personalities? 😜 I will definitely making this a top pick anytime I want something quick, easy, and delicious.

While the food tasted good and the service was decent, they left out both the Gouda and the side of potatoes from the lumberjack order. I went when it was very slow where the staff had time to talk to each other, so this seemed a bit inexcusable. When paying that much for some pancakes and a couple of easy items, I’m hopeful they’ll make sure it’s right. I’d like to give them another try because the food was good. Just disappointed in the overall experience this time.

Their menu may be relatively small but this place speaks my language! I generally prefer savory over sweet so that's where I started. I got The Yeti- a crepe filled with scrambled eggs, spinach, mushrooms, feta, and sauce. Absolutely delicious, the eggs were SO fluffy! I was told we had to try a Johnny Cake, a cornbread pancake, we shared it and it was yummy. Plus can't pass up potatoes, they were seasoned very well. I knew we were in trouble the second my husband picked up the menu. He ultimately decided on 2 entrees 😆. First, The Brekkie Bowl- potatoes, veggies, salsa, sauce, he added bacon and an extra egg- subbed over easy. He loved every component of it. Second, The Princess- a crepe filled with bananas, blueberries, and pecans. They put something called Salty Whip on top which should be illegal cuz it's one of the most addictive things I've ever tasted. This is not the place to come if you're in a hurry. There was a line the entire time we were there. Our food took about 30 minutes which they told us in advance. It is a little on the pricey side as well. But man was it worth it! Such high quality ingredients. This is probably the best breakfast food I've had in Lincoln to date!

What a great place to meet with friends and enjoy drinks and food. We absolutely loved everything we ordered!!!! We will definitely visit again sometime. I had never tried the Phil-E on a bagel, and it was outstanding. I would definitely order again! My daughter loved the new lemonade they had today.
