Cultiva East Campus
3535 Holdrege St #130, Lincoln, NE
Crema's Take
“Cultiva East Campus has earned a devoted following for its standout signature drinks, especially the Dirty Barcelona, which locals rave about as the best coffee in town—strong enough to energize but crafted with real care and flavor. Positioned conveniently across from Nebraska's East Campus, it's the perfect quick stop for students and professionals who want espresso-focused drinks made with creativity, paired with a small but thoughtful menu of savory breakfast options like their loaded crepes and bagel sandwiches. The combination of consistently fast service, a cozy atmosphere for meeting friends, and baristas who clearly know their craft makes this neighborhood gem feel like a place that actually understands what specialty coffee lovers want.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast and light food on the menu.
