We ordered four cold brews for pickup with an estimated pick up time of about 30 minutes. It was a Sunday morning, so I understood the wait and didn’t mind. Except it didn’t take thirty minutes, it took an hour, and there weren’t even any other pickups ahead of us; the line cycled through multiple times and we only got our order because we asked them about it. I love Cultiva but I think they should reconsider having an online order option since it didn’t really seem like they had the capability to execute it properly.

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!!

Amazing food! Super friendly. Has a welcoming vibe. Love this place!

The crêpes and omelets here are to die for! Great vegetarian options. Try the Parisian!

Waited an hour for crepes, potatoes and a brekkie bowl. Probably would have never received if I didn’t go up and remind the cooks about our order.

Pretty dang good. Mine didn’t come with the whipped topping like it should’ve so it was rather bland without it. The Ranch Hand was hella good though!

Another amazing spot for great food in Lincoln! I have been craving crepes and when I found this place boy was I excited! They have all different types of crepes with savory or sweet options. I prefer fruit in the morning so I went with that but they also had these delicious seasoned potatoes that were perfect and Im glad I tried them!

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 cant 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.

I would love to see some delicious vegan buckwheat crepes here!!! Mmm!!!! Can you imagine?!? Absolute bliss. Maybe it can be done?? 🤞🏻🤞🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤗🤗

Weve been going here on and off for years. In the past, weve 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

Very good coffee and food and service. The attention to detail on the food is exceptional. The crepes are wonderful, and the coffee equal to the best in Lincoln. We dined al fresco this morning, and cant wait until the tables inside are available.

The location of this place is nice, the only complaint I have is that the inside could use some upgrading with the furniture and the overall appearance, the environment they set is pretty cool with the music and art they have, but the place could be upgraded. Service and coffee is good.

Wonderful homemade granola! Plus great coffee.

Perfection. The coffee place I would always want to go. The Barcelona, not just an excuse to be hip. But, if you dont try this before you die I think you will definitely go to hell. So delicious.

We ordered their cappuccino, lumberjack johnny cakes, the smokey (pesto crepe) and the Parisian (typical banana and Nutella crepe)Their coffee was good but not what I have expected, the cappuccino was a bit weak, you taste the milk more than the espresso shot. Next time ill have to try their espresso in order to really taste their roast.Their johnny cakes are not the Caribbean johnny cakes that im used to. They are basically pancakes... which are not what we eat in the Caribbean. However they were good pancakes.Their crepes were good.Pro: nice local business to support, definitively not a Starbucks.Community feel, kind of like a cafeteria in the shop, self service for sure.Con: the place could be more efficient (order, getting the orders, their staff footprint)

Lol, Change your Google open times if you are closed for remodeling. I went out of my way to go to this shop to find it closed. Not professional at all. Disappointed.

Perfect crepes and wonderful drinks!

Ill return friends next time. The place has a nice atmosphere. Menu is like a cafe in Indianapolis I liked.

Best espresso in town. good vegan and vegetarian options for food.

Ive been a regular customer of Cultiva for years and could easily write a glowing review about their meticulously brewed coffee, well crafted drinks, or delicious made to order food. A couple friends of mine recently moved to town, and it was the first place I recommended they go. Lately, however, Ive been incredibly impressed with the care they have taken to keep their staff and customers safe during the pandemic.Ive been avoiding going in to most restaurants or cafes during this whole thing, but finally broke down and went in to Cultiva for a coffee and a salad and was pleasantly surprised at how safe the whole thing felt. The floor had well established markers about where to line-up and where to wait for your food/drinks, the entire set up of condiments and drink mixins had been renegotiated to make it user friendly with the least amount of contact possible, and all the while the staff went out of their way to still be welcoming and friendly despite the weird circumstances.I also appreciated the commitment to carry out, as I would have felt FAR less comfortable standing around and waiting for my food if folks were seated next to me, mask-less while eating and in close proximity to the line.Itd been about 5 months since Id been in but now that Ive seen the measures theyve taken to take this whole thing seriously, Ill definitely be back. The coffee and food were amazing as always, and I would recommend them to anyone.

Excellent coffee and food, plus, Cultiva is being very considerate of their employees and customers regarding the pandemic. They arent 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 its much appreciated!

I liked that crepe options that they had.

Oh my goodness. The BEST crepes Ive ever had. The coffee was good, too, but Ill be dreaming of the Queen Bee crepe for ages.

Amazing service and great food!!

Amazing brunch.A crepe for everyoneSweet, savory, some in the middle.They are taking covid seriously, which puts my mind at ease.

Probably the best Crepés in Nebraska!

The food is really good, but the employees are really rude. I went to use my token for a refill, and waited for 2-3 minutes while the woman at the counter brewed a tee for the person in front of me (which I was happy to wait for). While waiting, the employee never acknowledged that I was standing there, and then she refused to even make eye contact with me when she was helping. She didnt say more than 2 words to me, and she seemed annoyed that I got a refill.I get that this place is going for a hip vibe, but this isnt California or Portland. Lincoln is better than that.

Ordered the Only Bowl due to the variety of vegetables. Very skimpy on vegetables, heavy on rice. Wait staff could not have cared less that it was my first time there. No helpful tips, cold in manner. Noise volume is high, people with hearing aids may have difficulty with the echoing.

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?! Cant wait to try.

Great coffee and awesome crepes. Highly recommend

Very very fun eclectic place to meet friends. Great coffee. Food service is very slow and just okay. 45 minute wait is simply too long. Will go back for coffee only.

Not sure if I should admit that this was my first experience eating crepes. As a foodie at heart, crepes seemed like something I wouldn’t like to eat. Not a huge fan of sweets, seeing all the savory options at Cultiva made me choose a crepe instead of an omelet. I’m so glad I took the plunge. These crepes are amazing. I had the Phil E. Crepe without cheese, because I just don’t really like melted cheese. It was great though. A buckwheat crepe option would have given this place five stars!!

The staff was very very accommodating with my food allergies. They were super helpful and then the food and coffee was so fresh and delicious! I highly recommend Cultiva. You guys are awesome!

I had their famous pancakes and it was delicious. They were huge, so if youre not that hungry I would suggest grabbing one. The store had a laid back ambience. Definitely a great place for a casual brunch after a long weekend.

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

Amazing coffee and location! Cant wait to try the food next time

It smelled so good in there and the coffee is great. The meals look lovely and rather huge. Ill have to come back and try it sometime.

Crepes, I love the crepes. So many different ones, some sweet, some savoury but all very tasty. Also great coffee. We love the Cubano.

Nice coffee house but you must go for the crepes! Large variety of fillings all made fresh. Loved it. Will visit every time Im in town.

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 dont 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!

I think the picture speaks for itself :)

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 Ill 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.

Really enjoyed this unique coffee house & restaurant. The Grinch crepe was amazing. Could not pass up trying a Johnny cake, too. No regrets! If I were local Id be a frequent customer! Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

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.

Crepes are delicious! Staff is SO nice and helpful. I wish more customers would bus their own tables like youre supposed to, though.

My favorite breakfast spot in all of Lincoln. The crepes are amazing...even if one is not a crepe fan. So Im in town today for ball game flying trip with Holdredge groups. Ive asked for honey and 6 shot Americano and is excellent as always. Also a Dude Crepe is being prepared. Busy crowd here now waiting for the Go Big Red thing to start soon. And food is amazing again. Gotta love this place compared to another similar nationwide.

I drive out of my way to visit this shop. For many people, Nebraska may not seem exactly like the best tourist attraction, but its places like Cultiva that will win everyone over. I love Lincoln Nebraska. Cultiva celebrates all of this with a good atmosphere, bike friendly, incredible food and hospitality (as well as amazing coffee and chocolate). I even got toddi to go to get me through the rest of the drive! Please stop if you need a pick me up- or even if you want to see why Nebraska is the best.

Best coffee in Lincoln, hands down.Prior to meeting friends, I stopped in for a quick coffee and settled on the Cubana. A beautifully prepared double-shot coffee with brown sugar, steamed milk and cinnamon.It was truly perfection. Hot, just sweet enough with hints of cinnamon and topped with soft billowy steamed milk.Best coffee in Lincoln, hands down.

Love this place. Unfortunately, it gets super full on Sunday for brunch. It is that good! Very nice staff and delicious food.

If you love rich tasting coffee, go to Cultiva! The Johnny Cakes are so good (their eggs are good too)! Nice place to hang out.

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.

Was a bit busy when i went, waited about 15 mins for food. But the food was great and friendly service so ill chalk this up to a stressed workforce making due with what they could. Excellent coffee house vibes and amazing food.

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.

When I want to take a little time to rest, and see into the future, I stop here for a while to savor a pour over. Always walk away with a new perspective. Have appreciated their beans and roasts since their debut.

Absolutely delicious. Johnny cakes or Crepes, you cant go wrong. Best breakfast in all of Nebraska, dont tell Maw Maw.

Gooooooood Crepes! Its 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, Id say its worth it though. The Crepes A La Cart in Breckenridge is better, but thats a long drive and really Im no creep expert, this is just my opinion.

Wow! Ive been looking for a new breakfast spot and this is it! Great coffee and crepes! Ill be back (alot).

This little cafe is too cool for words. According to Culture Trip, the 11th St. store is the best place in NE to have breakfast. I agree!! Just the cool urban atmosphere alone is enough to wander in and stay awhile, much less their Moroccan mint tea... To die for.

Love this place! Excellent service and delicious food especially The Lumberjack (a sammy) and The Cubana. Their crepes are also delicious.

Delicious corn cakes, crepes and pastries. Good coffee with great presentation. They take great care with their coffee (unlike some other Lincoln coffee shops) which is much appreciated. One of a few places I really love in Lincoln.

Service was fast and the people friendly. The crepes were good but I highly recommend the johnny cakes (cornbread pancakes). Delicious and a new experience.

Great coffee, cool vibes, delicious crepes!

They have the best coffee in town. I go there once a week for a coffee and crepes. They play great music on the radio, the atmosphere is wonderful, and its an all around great place for a coffee date.

Best. Coffee. Ever. Im not joking. You should also definitely try out their granola: your life will never be the same.

The reviews on this place seem politically motivated which is weird because upon entering this place i didnt feel like anyone would be unwelcome. I loved my crepe and i loved the ambiance. Keep up the great work!

Best coffee in Lincoln. Service is somewhere between good and great. Only negatives are slower service during peak hours (which is somewhat expected, but still frustrating) and price. But if you want great coffee in Lincoln, its the place to go.

Great coffee & games to play. Excellent food! Awesome service! Very busy place. Dont miss it!

Upon receiving my two Johnny cakes with one TINY pat of butter:Me: Can I please get some more butter?Hipster: I can give you two more.Me: come on man, six bucks and I cant get any more than that?Hipster: I know how much they cost!I hate dry pancakes. Since when can food establishments determine how much butter and syrup a person needs?Not bad for dry pancakes though. So Ill raise that to 2 stars. Service and attitude matters.

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.

I used to study in this spot during college and swing through when I worked downtown. I still make it a point to stop through once a month. A busy little coffee shop downtown that offers some of the finest locally roasted coffee in town, including a long list of freshly roasted single origins.

Amazing breakfast and espresso. Would be impossible to leave here hungry; everything is good!

Love the atmosphere, food, and coffee. Best crepes ever!

Ive only had their espresso but it was amazing. Ive herd they have really good food as well. If anyone is looking for some awesome espresso and a place just to sit down to do home work I highly recommend Cultiva.

Its usually busy on a weekend morning so if you have something to get to build some buffer time in, but I always love building that time in to wait with my wife and friends. Time to talk and play cards in a lively environment that is a great cross section of Lincoln. I am pretty introverted but I enjoy the happy chatter, vinyl music and community feel. Having tried a large section of the menu, I can say it is some of the best breakfast food I have had in my life, not just Lincoln. Even the drip coffee is great, the specialty drinks wont disappoint. If you are looking for a bit quieter time, go for a lunch or dinner meal. Love Cultiva.

Raspberry crepe was so delicious. Im definitely coming back!

Came here 2 years ago stopping through town was amazing just stopped in again drinks are still perfect! Wow keep the good by vibes flowing yall

If you live downtown you can probably walk to this location, its 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 wouldnt reccomend for a group.Tad pricey but Id say its 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.

The Most Unique little Known place in Lincoln! Cultiva has the Best Cold Brewed Toddy, thats from Concentrate, Ive ever had!!

Great coffee, especially the Barcelona - Cultivas 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.

Coffee was good, Danish was yummy, and the cornbread flack Jacks were fresh! The baristas didnt smile at me though, maybe their too cool? Also the music was hella odd like robot sounds for Halloween....

This place was fantastic! I loved the feel of this coffee shop. Reminds me of coffee shops from Brooklyn. I cant believe something like this exists in Lincoln. The food was delicious and the coffee fantastic. The iced Cubana was one of the best tasting coffee Ive had in a while. The crepes were also delicious. I want to try every single one. I am looking forward to going back and trying some of their other offerings. Love this place.

I love this place! I am from Oregon and was missing all the hippie coffee shops, until I found Cultiva. The Barcelona is probably my favorite drink in the world. Their creps are so good and I love all the vegetarian options. If you are in Lincoln, you need to check this place out!

Cultive is the best - johnny cakes and a latte are a great way to start a Sunday! Just dont go with a big group - seating is super limited and it can be hard to find a spot during busy times.

Their food is amazing. Sometimes, when we bring our kids, customers are a little stuck up and the staff seem annoyed. If you have little ones like us, you may want to go when they are slow or choose somewhere more little kid friendly.

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

Just brought the family there for breakfast for the first time. Ordered the Monte and a Barcelona. Incredible food and coffee. The Barcelona is probably the best coffee drink that I have ever had, and the Monte is just great cooking. Ill be back for sure.

Great place to drink coffee and eat crepes! Friendly staff and welcoming environment.

Person who came to the register clearly expressed their dispeasure when I asked to try the curry and Chipotle sauces to the point we had to walk out without ordering. We were also given dirty looks while they were grabbing the samples. Followed by equal expressions of displeasure as we walked out.

Great coffee, tasty food. It can take a while to get food if its busy, but the johnny cakes and crepes are worth the wait.

The coffee and food good,but inside in the cafe shop there is no design and comfort. All the old and in bad condition. We usually going to East location.

They officially close at 9pm but actually they shut everything down around 8.30 for whatever reason. I guess everyone wants to leave at 9.On a bright side, the crepes are pretty good.

Cultiva is, hands down, the best cup of coffee in Lincoln and from my experience, the best coffee in Nebraska. This is the original location. They have taken out the coffee roaster and moved it to another location. That has opened up more room for seating.Favorites: The Coffee, Mochas, Johnny Cakes (two pancakes split by ham, cheese, and eggs) and The Crepes

I love Cultivas food selection and atmosphere, but their coffee is not to my taste. Somehow all their coffee is bitter. From dirty chais to brewed coffee, its all way too strong and bitter. I have to add way more creamer than I do anywhere else for it to even be drinkable. If you want to get food though, this is the place! Amazing veggie options and fresh fresh fresh ingredients!

Good coffee, good food, and a helpful staff make this a good place for a pick-me-up. Its busy on the weekends during brunch, but you can usually get in and out pretty quickly during the week.

Most importantly the food and coffee is delicious at a reasonable price.Culturally Cultiva is a stereotypical smaller city Marxist coffee shop (albeit without gender neutral bathrooms) so know that going in. Leave your MAGA hat in the car if you dont want confrontation.Lost one star because tips are expected but theres no table service.

Good food! Try The Grinch and a Mocha...Or for iced coffee, The Barcelona is the way to go! Im shocked this place doesnt come up first. I used to go to The Mill years ago... Cultiva is my new religion and all it takes is one bad review from some simple minded schmuck to bring this place down the list. Its FIVE stars....Just for the record....

The food is pretty good and the coffee is about average, but the prices are too high for the quality and some of the staff are not very friendly. My first visit about four months ago was a much more positive experience, but recently they have hired new staff that could use some improvement to their customer service skills. There are better, more affordable places to get coffee downtown than at Cultiva.

I’m from Denver and often go to trendy, hipster coffee shops in CO, so I get the vibe you are going for. But never have I been treated so poorly, especially as a paying customer. My family and I stopped to grab coffe a quick bit before visiting my grandmother who was not doing well. While waiting for our food, we received a call that my grandmother had passed. As expected, we were upset and trying to get to her as quickly as possible. The only item we were waiting on was a bagel for my mom. Everyone went outside and I waited inside to grab the bagel. I asked the front counter where it was and he pointed over to the food counter. I walked over and hovered for a minute, looking to see if the woman working the counter was prepping another order, or getting the bagel together. She was not, so, I asked, very politely if I might add, if she knew how much longer on the bagel. She pointed to the toaster and said super snotty “it’s toasting” and looked away and started to cut bananas. I said “ok, we actually just found out my grandma passed, I just wanted to grab this for my mom really quickly”. She annoying looked at me and said “it takes time” roller her eyes and looked away. I was so shocked, I had tears rolling down my face from the news and I just wanted to grab the bagel we paid for so we could get out and this was the response. I was not asking for freebies or something above and beyond, just a little compassion for a fellow human who is grieving. So dissatisfying, disappointing and upsetting.

Its my go-to spot for taking people to a delicious brunch and have quality coffee.
