Archetype Coffee

Probably the best tasting coffee in Omaha, but I'm not a coffee head. I just know I can drink it straight with no cream or sugar. The specialty drinks are good as well. The acoustics inside make it a little loud, but didn't bother me. Stop by when in Blackstone.

Nice place, went later in the morning and it was a full house of people. Coffee was very good and the atmosphere was pleasant. It is great to support local businesses, especially one helping to revive the Blackstone district and their new location on 13th St South of Pacific.

My favorite coffee shop in Omaha! The coffee is delicious, atmosphere is peaceful, and the staff is friendly. This is a good stop for a quick cup to go, quiet alone time, or a meeting with friends (although still usually pretty quiet).
Breakfast sammies on Sundays!

Coffee where it counts. Archetype prides itself on delicious coffee made right. No fancy syrups or crazy flavors, just a simple menu with great blends. I got a simple drip and probably one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had. The space is minimal, but that didn't stop tons of people from being there. Awesome place.

I would have left 5 stars, but they really need to update their hours. It really upsets meeting plans when they close later than advertised. When the worker was informed their hours are incorrect, he shrugged his shoulders and stated the workers have been raising that issue.

When in Omaha visiting family we always stop at Archetype on our way from the airport to west Omaha. They produce some of the best beans for miles. Though my in-laws have a sub-par coffee setup especially their blade grinder, Archetype's coffees are forgiving. I can still whip up a solid cup from their beans. I usually take some back to TX with me even though I have some award winning coffee in my city too. Their in store coffee is great as they have knowledgeable and experienced baristas who can brew and pull shots really well . Had a cold brew dirty chai and hot drip and all were good.

This is the best place for Espresso drinks in this part of town. Not only do they extract the espresso perfectly, and roast their own (like nearby favorite Caffeine Dreams), but some nice latte art. Pour over also expertly handled. They're picky about their coffee, folks, and it shows!!!

Dropped in for the first time this morning. There is a small parking lot behind the shop, and you can enter through a door in the back rather than walk all the way around, which was nice since it's snowing. The coffee shop is spacious and sparsely decorated, with beautiful wood floors. There are tables with a fairly private feel towards the back of the shop. I took coffee to go, so I did not stay to enjoy the ambience, but I did note that the chairs had small round seats and metal backs; to me that didn't look very comfortable, but it does fit the atmosphere. The breve lattes were good and priced similarly to Starbucks. The staff was friendly, and they said Archetype has been open about seven months, so I thought I'd share my impressions and encourage others to give it a try!

I would have to agree with other reviewers. This is a neat modern hangout with great coffee and service. It was busy when I was there, but that's part of a good vibe for me and coffee shops. A big part of going to a place like this is to people watch and take in the atmosphere. I will absolutely return to Archetype.

Archetype has set the bar in Omaha’s coffee scene. Thanks to Archetype we no longer have to settle for coffee-shop mediocrity! This place is old-school and all the best ways: craft espresso drinks and brewed coffee from beans roasted on sight. Archetype sets the bar and the results are amazing!
