one of my favorite local shops to support. i’ve been coming for years and dont plan to stop. but yall gotta figure out that doordash situation. that lil sticker ain’t stopping anything. and it’s stressful on the drivers to hand out the carriers. if not bags for the items, pls get tape… 🙏
Amazing coffee!! My go to in Lincoln. The drive thru is so convenient. My favorite drink is a white chocolate raspberry iced latte :)
We go here all the time. The girls are always happy and super helpful. I love the variety of drinks. I can't speak more highly of this place. Oh and it's locally own. So the money goes right back into the community.
I come to this shop 2-3+ times per week. Today I came to get a black tea and it wasn’t done right. At all. This is for the workers! When you make iced black tea, the tea bags need to be removed after brewing — leaving them in makes it very bitter because the tannins keep extracting. That’s what happened with mine. Black tea should steep about 3–5 minutes, then the bags come out before icing. Herbal teas are different, but black tea gets harsh. Just some advice.
Love how this place is nestled within the busyness of downtown Lincoln. They seem to get most of the traffic via their drive-thru, so whenever I really need to get work done, I'll park myself in their cozy and quiet seating area. P.S. My fav of all their flavored beans is the blueberry cinnamon crumble. Absolutely delish! 🫐
