Cultiva Downtown

Eh. Stopped here for a Lincoln expat to buy a bag of coffee. Three crepes later begat disappointment around the table. Food was gooey and awkward to eat in a box, but the coffee was ok. No need to go back.

Heard great reviews so finally checked it out. The breakfast crepes are delicious! Tons of food with great flavor. Had one of their single (big) pancakes on the side. Ate it all! My friend had their veggie omelet which I'll probably get next time.

A wonderful small locally owned coffee shop. The Crepes are delicious for lunch or breakfast, plus there are other breakfast items. If you come on the weekend for brunch it can get quite busy. The coffee is single-origin and responsibly sourced. This is not a starbucks and that’s what makes it great. A funky atmosphere and decor with vinyl sourced tunes.

So I rarely ever give bad reviews especially when it’s a coffee place but this one felt necessary. I’ve been to the downtown location with my family and friends a few times. The food, especially the Dutch boy crepes, are amazing and the coffee ranging from strong and dark to frou Frou and sweet is delicious too, however, during my most recent visit I brought a friend who had never been there before. After leaving he said he felt judged but maybe it was just because the space felt so crammed and clustered. When he said this I realized all of my feelings about this location were justified and validated. Every single time I have been to this location the workers have made me feel like they were annoyed to help me and would rather be anywhere else. From the tone of voice the guy at the register had, to me being unable to finish giving my order before he wanted to move on to the next customer, to the cook behind the other counter’s dirty looks I was left wondering what I had done wrong but after observing the workers for a while I realized it was just their demeanor with seemingly every customer. I’ve been to the East Campus location once with a friend and the two girls working there were so sweet and recommended the house made granola. These two experiences from the downtown and east campus locations were night and day. I will for sure continue going to the east campus location with friends but I’m done going downtown to a place where I feel bizarrely unwelcome (given the no hate and everyone is welcome theme to their decor) when there are so many other great options to meet up for coffee dates.

We've been going here on and off for years. In the past, we've tried to look past the less-than-friendly service because the coffee and food are so.dang.good. But today (and in recent visits) I felt like the staff was kind/friendly/accommodating. Which is a great thing for them and a terrible thing for my bank account

Wait was too long. Food and drinks were just ok. Hygeine lacking. Over priced. Music was way too loud to have a conversation without feeling like you're yelling.

The Barcelona coffee drink is absolutely to die for and this trip we tried the food (Grinch and Cyprus crepe options) which were both very declicious. Typically we don't have this problem, but on this trip - the gal behind the counter taking our order was the least bit friendly, but maybe just a rough day. Overall, highly recommend trying it out!

If local joints want to survive this economy, they ought to make sure the online ordering system they direct you to when you call to place a pickup is something they actually pay attention to. Otherwise, you’ll show up at your scheduled pickup time to an employee who’s just now putting down their phone long enough to realize they have an order to fill.

We waited out in the car until our pickup time and waited an additional fifteen minutes for them to prepare it. No line, just a pure waste of time and lack of caring about your customers at a time like this.

I’ve been coming to Cultiva for years and have dealt with varying degrees of aloof customer service because the food and drinks are worth it. Today was next level. Cmon you guys!!

If you live downtown you can probably walk to this location, it's a busy area so parking is not always available.

Inside they have some really great art on the walls. Cool people, great place to go by yourself or with a friend but I wouldn't reccomend for a group.

Tad pricey but I'd say it's worth, the coffee is always made well. Normally I dont eat at cafes but they have amazing crepes so I always get one when I go.

Always great food and coffee. Saturdays and Sundays will be busy in the morning so plan accordingly. Personally, the dark roast my normal go-to is too acidic for my taste but the espresso is fantastic! Great for iced coffee on a hot day.
