Review of The Hub Cafe
The Hub Cafe is a charming and inviting restaurant located at 250 N 21st St #3, Lincoln, NE 68503. As a breakfast restaurant and cafe, it offers a clever and creative menu that features locally sourced ingredients. The cafe prides itself on providing a chill and convivial setting where customers can enjoy their meals.
The story behind The Hub Cafe is truly inspiring. It originated from Branched Oak Farm, a certified organic, grass-based dairy. The owners had a vision of bringing authentic, healthy, and locally-sourced food to Lincoln, and that dream became a reality in late January 2016. Since then, The Hub Cafe has become a comfortable and affordable coffee shop, breakfast, lunch, brunch, and dinner venue.
One of the highlights of The Hub Cafe is its commitment to using primarily vegetarian-friendly ingredients. The menu is filled with creative and modern choices that cater to a variety of tastes. Whether you're a vegetarian or simply looking for a delicious meal, you'll find something to satisfy your cravings.
The Hub Cafe has received mixed reviews from customers. While some have praised the friendly and welcoming service, others have expressed disappointment with the quality of food and service. It's important to note that experiences may vary, and it's always best to try it for yourself.
The cafe is open from 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM from Tuesday to Sunday, providing ample opportunity to enjoy a delightful breakfast or brunch. Unfortunately, The Hub Cafe is closed on Mondays.
If you're looking for a cafe that offers clever and creative fare with locally sourced ingredients, The Hub Cafe is worth a visit. Its chill and convivial setting make it a great place to enjoy a delicious meal and a cup of coffee.
From the business
"Hub Cafe has its roots at Branched Oak Farm, a certified organic, grass-based dairy. The dream began to blossom in the summer of 2014 when the city of Lincoln and the Great Plains Trails Network agreed to share the vision for the cafe space. The project came to life with a combined passion for bringing authentic and delicious, healthy and locally-sourced food to Lincoln. Since opening in late January 2016, Hub Cafe has shown itself to be a comfortable and affordable coffee shop, breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner venue with great local brews on tap and a thoughtful wine list. We provide delicious, vegetarian-friendly, creative, and modern menu choices that are created with food sourced primarily in our food community."

Wanted to find a new breakfast place, and this is what the Google gave me. Nice, for the most part. Really nice space with good morning sun. I went at 8:30 on a weekday morning, and it was quite busy and getting busier, so I can see the wait being a problem at later times or weekends. My food came in about 15 minutes, no problem. I got the basic breakfast, 2 eggs, bacon, toast, potatoes. Really good toast and schmear of some kind of tasty spreadable cheese. Perfect bacon. Potatoes well cooked, but no seasoning whatsoever. I ordered over medium eggs, and one of the yolks was broken and cooked into the white. No big deal, but my friends in the industry all say that when that happens, ya start over with a new egg. I'll definitely be back and try something else, and I'll definitely go early!

Great location, it makes me feel in a garden.
The mocha is excellent!

There was nothing fresh about this place. The tortillas in the huevo rancheros tasted like they were microwaved in the plastic they come in. The gyro bowl had very little meat which was all fatty grisley and no flavor. They have a mask mandate but you are touching everything and have to clean up your own plates. I don't mind doing that but for the price you pay and the atmosphere they should. Manager was friendly, but staff was rude. This was our first time and it was the last time. If it was possible to give a no Star I would.

Waited in Line for 20 minutes. No big deal. We went there to have breakfast and they asked if we would like to get a drink and scone or something instead bc they are behind. Waited for 45 minutes for breakfast potatoes and they were burned. Sad for what we paid…won’t be back.

OK food. Horrible service. Too many tables in a small area

The food was really good. The sausage was a little under cooked., but overall really good.

Amazing skillet and soup. Worst chai latte of my life. So bitter and hard to enjoy. Sugar doesn't help

I have been here 3 times now and have had one good experience out of it, which is really unfortunate. I love the atmosphere and the ingredients used in the menu options (especially the vegetarian options), which is the only reason for the two stars as opposed to one. Two of the times I’ve been here now, it’s taken an hour+ after ordering to receive my food. I wanted to introduce my boyfriend to the Hub Café today to have a nice “breakfast” with him, but we didn’t end up receiving our food until closer to 11AM. One thing that easily could have made the long wait slightly better would have been better customer service and communication from the staff. I hate writing this but I don’t want the same thing happening to someone else!

A favorite brunch place. Great food and drinks. It's a pretty popular place though. If you're going with a large party at a popular time, be ready to wait for a table. They do have some outdoor dining but I wish they had more. All in all, this is a great place

Food was surprisingly good. Went in a group of 6, everyone was happy with thier meals. Does get pretty busy, and they seemed a little under staffed (but isn't every place these days?) Seems like the most intentionally inclusive spot in Lincoln. Try going on a rainy day. There are far fewer people there when people are not out riding their bikes!
