The BAY
2005 Y St, Lincoln, NE
Crema's Take
“The BAY in Lincoln is a vibrant community hub that brilliantly blends a skate school and shop with a welcoming café space, creating a genuinely family-friendly spot where kids can learn and practice skateboarding while parents settle in with quality coffee. The staff's commitment to youth engagement and providing a safe, positive environment shines through in every review, making it feel less like a typical coffee shop and more like a neighborhood gathering place with real purpose. Whether you're a parent supervising a lesson, a teenager honing your skills, or just someone seeking a warm spot for a traditional cup, The BAY's combination of skilled instruction, community spirit, and approachable vibe makes it distinctly worth visiting.”

We love the skate school! Amazing staff and awesome youth engagement! Thanks for supporting Lincoln's youth by providing a safe and positive environment with kind and caring role models!
Used to skate here all the time in college. Now I am told at both omaha and lincoln locations I cannot skate because I am an adult. Great way to ruin any funding besides what you get from the state and also discourages actual skaters to send kids here or teach here. Very Lame
Took my daughters to the bay for thrifting and for them to skateboard, they had a very enjoyable time and experience here. Highly recommended for teenagers.
Caden and The Bay went above and beyond for us! My son had a birthday in December, and obviously with the pandemic there were limited options for a way to celebrate. Although they are currently closed to the public, Caden opened the doors so my son, his brother, and best friend could come and hang out for a couple of hours. It was absolutely perfect! Having never been there we were just as impressed with the space as we were with their generosity!
Skate school for the kids....Top notch! Along with Lincoln's premier Sk8 shop Precision Skateboards...Best in the business. You need to check it out!!!!!
