13th Street Coffee and Tea - The Original Omaha Coffee And Tea Shop

Baristas were uninterested in providing quality customer service, from the few times I've been here they seemed to have wanted to get our order and have us gone what seemed like asap. The main lady, I think she's the owner or owner's daughter, is always unpleasant and tells it like it is. She seems to only be nice to the regulars and my drink was watery and had little flavor on top of that. For sure won't be coming back.

Went yrs ago & loved it! However, today I went only bc I wanted to relax in the loft w/ the comfy couches...but it was SO GROSS!! The arm rests on the chair were wet?! stains on all the chairs, smelled, and dead bugs on the coffee table. Bummer. Downstairs is cool though.

Cozy seating area with plenty of coffee choices, including specialty coffee drinks. I was pleased with the Mexican Latte. There are many pieces of art crafted by local artists hanging on the walls that are available for purchase. I will definitely return to try more of their drinks!

So I recently discovered that the baristas here are not given the tips, the tips go into the till. Until this dishonest practice is discontinued, I won’t be going back.

13th Street Coffee and Tea is right in the middle of downtown. It's super cute, has a homey atmosphere, very friendly, quiet for homework, wifi, local event message board/information shelf. Nice loft for secondary seating. COVID precautions such as mask mandate, spaced seating, and take-out options are in place and all seating has decent airflow. My hot chocolate was nothing to write home about, but it was certainly tasty enough.

Excellent coffee! My husband and I just moved to Omaha from NYC and we fell in love with this coffee shop. Not only is the coffee excellent the coffee shop is so cozy and cute. ❤️

Great coffee and always new art to look at. 10 👍🏼 up.

The sandwiches are good in my opinion. But every time I have gone the server as been sitting down with a friend and I have had to stand at the counter for her to notice me just for her to be rude and rush away the second I get my order. It's the same lady every time that is rude. The other employees I have encountered have been kind enough. Also coffee not too good.

This little shop is quaint and quiet. The lackadaisical approach to its setup and decor is uniquely appealing and somehow calming. The barista on staff was very friendly and polite.

I got an espresso during my visit--it was not bad by any means, particularly compared to typical coffee you'll find in the states, but it wasn't really outstanding, either.

This is a nice shop to visit if you're within biking distance (they even offer a discount if you ride your bike!) and want to sit down and read or write for a while, but I wouldn't recommend going out of you're way for it.

Thankfully, 13th Street is in a very active district, so you'll have plenty of other things you do before or after grabbing a coffee, here.

Some of the older reviews are harsh. But the new owners are innovative and have improved this place. The espresso is from a local roaster and the pastries are fresh daily (and are also local.) I study here all the time.
