Crema's Take

Nostalgia Room is a beautifully crafted dry bar and coffee shop where an experienced local roaster creates uniquely delicious, cocktail-inspired non-alcoholic drinks alongside expertly pulled espresso. The intimate space has mastered the art of being a cozy gathering spot—whether you're studying, meeting friends, or just soaking in East Lawrence's creative heart—with thoughtful staff who make you feel genuinely welcomed. It's the kind of place where every detail, from the specialty drinks to the curated merchandise, feels intentional and reminiscent of something you didn't know you were missing.

Great coffee shop and I love the dry bar (non-alcoholic bar). Unique drinks and atmosphere - a great place to meet up with friends. The only food options are a variety of bagels with different kinds of sweet or savory spreads. The drinks are the stars of the show there - I've never had one I didn't like. A little pricey, but a lot of the drink components are made in-house so you're getting quality ingredients and complexity of flavor. A real gem of Lawrence, if you ask me!

Just go! This shop represents the heart of Lawrence in every way. The atmosphere and drinks are crafted by one of the most experienced locals. You won't find a more unique, delicious coffee in town - truly. And it's just outside of the downtown hub so you can avoid those parking-tickets :)

I love this Cafe and dry bar. All the staff are attentive and wonderful and go the extra mile. I have multiple kids that hang out there to study and "vibe". The merchandise is also unique and delightful. This is a must stop in LFK whenever I'm nearby.

Very cozy and unique place to socialize without the pressure of alcohol. The space is small but has plenty of overflow into Repetition Coffee's seating area. The drinks are delicious and tastefully stylish. Check out Emily's glassware collection.

Excellent concept - a temperate (non-alcoholic) bar in East Lawrence! Everything on the menu is delicious, reminiscent of actual cocktails, and the best part, it’s all alcohol-free!! While I myself drink, I am friends with plenty of people who don’t, and this “bar” creates the space and ambience that cultivates connection with good friends. It has everything you would want in a temperate bar… friendly staff (Emily is so friendly), plenty of drink options (NA beers, zero-alcohol wine, and an expansive mocktail menu), lots of seating, and an incredible vibe. I tip my hat to Emily Kate and the work she’s doing to create spaces of connection for those with substance abuse pasts or who simply don’t want to drink. 10/10 recommend!!
