The Makers - Bakers & Builders

The Makers is a nice coffee shop in a historic building in the charming town of Aurora, Nebraska. I had a really good frappe and the breakfast burrito was large. A chalkboard wall keeps children busy while caregivers enjoy their coffee.

When I return to my "hometown" from Lincoln, I love to stop here for a sandwich. Especially like the Hawaiian Panini! Enjoy the clean, quiet atmosphere and friendly staff. I would bring my 97 year old mother who would be in a wheelchair and it was an easy accommodation for us.

The space and people are so inviting! The food is amazing but the cinnamon rolls are especially to die for. SO reasonably priced for such a fabulous experience!!!

Pros: Cute atmosphere with exposed brick and chalk board for kids to write on. Decorated cute! Bakery foods delicious (cinnamon roll, cookies)
Cons: I’ve tried three different lunches on the menu but to me was gross. Grilled Chicken on salad tastes like fake gummy chicken not fresh. Steak salad has bad steak (had this twice actually) the steak is chewy and hard
The fruit is canned fruit (pineapple) so it’s like cafeteria food. And lastly the espresso coffee is super acidic! Burns my stomach and some others agreed with me too. Very bitter! Also, not talkative friendly staff. They smile and that’s it. No “how’s your day?” Or care to visit with you. There is better coffee shops in town for the above listed!!

Cute little coffee shop and bakery! Cinnamon rolls were delicious and so was the coffee! The staff members were very sweet and overall a very welcoming and quality little stop on our way through town😊

This is a "must stop" location in Aurora, Nebraska for some great coffee and food. Sitting right on the historic downtown square facing the beautiful Hamilton County Courthouse, you'll love the view and the friendliness of the people here!

Great lunch, breakfast and coffee. Awesome baked goods obviously. You can't go wrong here ❤️

Friendly fast service! Delicious home made cinnamon rolls! Good brewed coffee! Very clean!

First time here and it won’t be the last! Great atmosphere very friendly and helpful staff! We just missed breakfast but our lunch selection did not disappoint! Cuban panini and southwest chicken arrived quickly and were outstanding! Can’t wait to come back and I’m not leaving without trying a cookie as well! 😏

Great place for morning coffee. Strawberry rhubarb pie. Giant cinnamon rolls. So yummy!
