Crema's Take
“Reactor is a espresso-focused haven where the baristas genuinely seem to delight in getting to know you, creating an intimate yet study-friendly space that keeps coffee enthusiasts coming back for life. They keep things exciting with weekly experimental drinks alongside their solid traditional lineup, and the dog-friendly policy means your pup can enjoy the cozy atmosphere right alongside you. Whether you're a caffeine-fueled entrepreneur needing a productive workspace or a coffee snob seeking technically excellent pulls, the warm, personable staff and thoughtfully curated aesthetic make this Lincoln spot feel less like a chain and more like a community gathering place.”

Faaantastic coffee shop!! Staff are FANTASTIC humans that always try to put a smile on your face as soon as you walk in. The atmosphere is very cozy & intimate but you can easily read and study for hours here! HIGHLY RECOMMEND REACTOR!!
After years of being a consistent Scooters girl to then seven brew, I have since switched up to Reactor and it has been the best switch up of my life. As a caffeine fueled ADHD entrepreneur having a coffee that slaps every time has kept me sane. You don't have to worry that a drink you order regularly will taste different each time. The prices are great, vibes are great, coffee is great. 10/10
Excellent coffee shop! It's fun to see what the experiment of the week is. The staff is amazing! They are also dog friendly!
First off, I am a coffee snob and I love me some good coffee. So this review is going to have technical terms and it might be a bit nerdy. But for those of you who don't want to read the whole thing, in summary, before I describe in detail, love the place and the atmosphere. You need to go here! Now in depth: Food: I told the barista to surprise me with my drink. She did not disappoint. I don't remember the name of it, but it had something like s'mores and cinnamon. It was a latte and I loved it! The baristas know what they're doing! The balance of the coffee with the flavor was excellent. The milk consistency was fantastic and the barista did a wonderful job with there Astoria espresso machine. Atmosphere: I loved all the decorations and the cute mugs on the wall! If you are sitting down inside, use one of their cute mugs! They had some really nice decorations and it felt very homey. Good light and it felt very comfortable. There wasn't any music playing, which I loved. It is a dog friendly place!!! That is huge for me! This is my new favorite coffee shop! The only thing I wish for improvement was the size of the coffee shop And parking. Parking was pretty tight. The first time I went, I parked a block away. The first time I went, I parked a block away. But that's a good sign! The coffee shop feels a little bit like a hole in the wall and if you enjoy that aesthetic, check it out! I do like my space and I felt a little bit cramped. Service: The barista was fantastic! Kind, clear, and knew what she was doing. Overall, this feels like a mom and pop shop. I love those types of places and will definitely be going back! I am sold on this place.
Great space with a neat esthetic and friendly barista! She was so personable and kind- turned out to be the owner! Enjoyed my coffee, shop had a great layout, and don’t get me started on the cinnamon waffle. Their coffee special and a treat was under $8- both very tasty. A good choice whether you’re looking for a place to study like I was or to catch up with friends!
