Cultiva Downtown

Excellent coffee and food, plus, Cultiva is being very considerate of their employees and customers regarding the pandemic. They aren't doing dine-in, so they can space out their line and have adequate room as people wait for their to-go orders. Making the best of a difficult situation, and it's much appreciated!

Gooooooood Crepes! It's the only place in Lincoln that I know to get a good one. If you plan on getting food off the menu at 10am on Saturday, plan on a 30 minute wait, I'd say it's worth it though. The Crepes A La Cart in Breckenridge is better, but that's a long drive and really I'm no creep expert, this is just my opinion.

Best coffee, great food! Thanks to Cultiva I know what to expect for my daily brew. You will not be able to tolerate “commercial” coffee once you’ve enjoyed what is available here. And that’s a good thing! No more over roasted, chemical crud. Coffee here is so good you don’t need sugar or cream or whatever other stuff you add in. Cannot stress the quality enough.

Also a great resource for folks who appreciate a good cup. Had a chance to take a class a few years ago and learned how to make a good pour over and effectively use an aeropress.

The food here is unparalleled for breakfast in Lincoln. The Grinch was my staple for years. My dietary needs have changed and they offer gluten free and vegan options that are insanely good! Everyone can find something on this menu that fits their needs and wants.

Only con is that the kitchen is small so you should expect a wait on weekends during busy hours. They are very up front about it and warn folks, so to me it’s a non issue. You can enjoy fun tunes and good neighborhood company while you get your top notch food.

Staff here is AMAZING, friendly and efficient.

Facility is clean and engaging.

Parking has never been an issue for me and a bike rack is out front.

No patio or outdoor furniture anymore.

Acoustics are so so - it can be loud during peak hours.

Fairly tasty food. Coffee had a metallic taste. Loud. Political views are obvious throughout the deco. Went to the one downtown, would not return.
Campus location is better

Cool little place. I only had a coffee but it was great. I will return to try the food soon. They have crepes! Savory crepes! Who does that?! Can't wait to try.

Stopped in with family for breakfast. They rudely insisted they could violate our individual rights by requiring face masks even when there is no mask mandate in the city. They said, we are a private business and you are not allowed in here without a mask. Reminds me of Rosa Parks being told you can't sit on this bus. They wanted us to pay for a mask or leave. We took our business elsewhere. And to think I was going to buy a $50 gift card here for some friends who just moved to town. The owners need to get a grip.

Awesome coffee shop. Breakfast options are legit. Got the cultiva omelette with potatoes. So delicious and rich in flavor. They also have GF pastries, so that’s always a bonus. The place was quieter around 8:30, and FULL at 10, the time we left, so plan accordingly. Again, delicious food and nice staff.

Overall I liked the place. I'd give it high marks because of the latte art. I like the coffee selection. It's probably in the top 1 or 2 lattes I've had in Lincoln. Aside from that I liked the atmosphere but I've been to coffee shops in Lincoln with better atmosphere. And the service was good. The music when I was in fit more with a 50's dinner than a coffee shop and the place smelled less like coffee and more like a pool, slightly chlorinated (that's the first thing i noticed when I walked in. Over all though I'm pretty sure i'll be back and often.

My omelet was crazy awsome. Large portions. Awsome prices !!!!

Great coffee, especially the Barcelona - Cultiva's signature toddy with salted caramel whipped topping. The crepes are amazing, too, and there are several savory and sweet options. Just prepare for a bit of a wait on the weekends.
