This is the best coffee in Lincoln. It doesnt taste like sugary syrup and flavoring. It tastes like coffee. And the environment that they create is awesome. The staff is always so polite and so quick to help.Ive recommended this place to many people and I will keep recommending it to many more!

Me and my partner stopped here for breakfast and coffee while on a roadtrip, and very much enjoyed this place. The vibes are immaculate, the staff are so friendly, and the food and coffee were fantastic! We both agreed that if we lived in the area we would visit Meadow Lark often

If your looking for a great local coffee shop, this is it. Some great coffee, local artists are always on display, they often have open mic times and great food. I am a fan of the batista choice when I just cant decide. Dont miss the revolving bakery items. Friendly, affordable, with a great choice of coffee and the like.

Very good coffee and very friendly service.At home I usually cook my own cup of coffee in turkish pot and add half-and-half. There is no substitute for such coffee on the road.These guys made my day by going extra mile and giving me bold aroma of espresso shot and smooyhed it with half-and-half. The closest to my home version coffee I have ever had on the road!Thank you!

I dont have enough words in my vocabulary to properly explain how perfect every trip to this heavenly establishment is. The drink selection is extremely varied and delicious, the staff make you feel like family (in a good way!), the prices are reasonable, and the environment itself is super cozy. Highly recommend

They have and excellent selection of teas which I always get when I come into town to visit my girlfriend. Its her new favorite place and I can see why, friendly staff, quiet place to relax or meet friends. They have game/puzzles to play with and a take a book leave a book shelf. They also have a lot of cactus/succulents all over the store that are for sale!

Every trip to Lincol must include a stop at Meadowlark! The staff & owners are unfailingly kind, the service is excellent and a Hippie cookie and an iced cold Carmelark is the perfect treat!! I will, and do, recommend to all!

One has the choice of choosing a coffee shop in the morning Its going to fill the cup with Joe and get you through the rigmarole or you have a place where you can go get a cup of Joe thatll get you through the rigmarole and you can leave with a giant smile on your face because you know that the people there were truly happy to serve you a cup of steamy elixir that gets you through the wild and crazy times that we are faced with. Cant say enough about the awesome service the fun atmosphere and the coffee is pretty good too.

For my first visit I am very pleased with this coffee shop! Everyone is very nice, helpful with questions and has a positive attitude. There is a family atmosphere and everyone is nice to others. The Baristas Choice with my latte was a wonderful surprise!

Quiet place to socialize or relax. Staff is very friendly and helpful. If you are a friend of Bill W. then this is a great spot to meet others.

Review №42

Its pricier than Starbucks, but I assume thats because of the fair trade coffee and organic ingredients. If that matters to you, this is your go-to coffee shop. I can say for certain that the flavor of iced coffee is 3 times more boldly flavored than Starbucks, even though it costs about a dollar more, and is in a smaller cup. Was too delicious for me not to get it every now and then as a treat. Atmosphere is kinda drab, a cliche coffee shop, and the wait staff was upbeat and happy to make your coffee until you tip, then he didnt feel the need to put on a happy act anymore.

Review №46

Nice little hangout joint, makes pretty good coffee. I know no one will care except for me, but they serve fair trade coffee which is a big bonus for me.My only complaint is that sometimes theyre really fast getting my coffee out, and sometimes theyll take a solid twenty minutes, both times happen when Im alone in line. Also, not a huge fan of their food, though thats just a personal taste.You should try the breve.

Meadowlark is one of my favorite coffee shops. The prices are reasonable, staff is always friendly. Its a great place to meet a friend for coffee or go alone. My daughter goes alot to work on her homework. Its one of the few places she feels comfortable being alone at. Its got a very chill atmosphere.

Review №53

Meadowlark used to be a wonderful place to go enjoy good espresso drinks and treats. The staff was very friendly and everyone working there seemed to just be laid back and eager to serve. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case. It is under new management since its reopening and the attitude you are now greeted with is what do you want! The first time I went in after its reopening I was met with this attitude. I wrote it off, figuring that maybe the girl was just having a bad day. I have been in about 10 times since, naively each time hoping for the customer service I was accustomed to under the old management. Each time its been the same Im stressed out and have things to do, what do you need! vibe. I will not be back, sadly, after years of recommending it to people. There are plenty of good coffee houses in town and Meadowlark may be among them again some day once the management realizes the importance of good customer service.

At times, extremely busy and hard to find seating, but the coffee is always good. Nice variety of locally made pastries & treats. If youre not sure what you want, you can describe your tastes to the Baristas and they will make you something special. Theyve never steered me wrong.

Good people, unique environment. My most preferred drip coffee in Lincoln. Locally owned, it doesnt get any better for my liking.Employees are very personable, and I love the late hours. Also free refills on drip coffee after 10pm, if you can handle it.

Stopped in for a mocha and was glad that I did. The place has a nice parking lot and a great bicycle parking area made from an old playground roundabout. Inside was really a large space, lots of tables and a nice, talkative guy to take my order. The mocha was great and the location is about a mile from the Sunken Garden.

Review №76

When I moved to Lincoln in 2011 one of my top priorities was to find a replacement coffee hangout for the coffee joint/second home I had in my previous city. I spent some time at 2 other popular places for caffeine in town, and the atmosphere in each was reminiscent of a library. Quiet. Serious. Dull. Then I found Meadowlark. Friendly, fun, relaxed and the beautiful sound of lively conversations and laughter. Looking back, I can honestly say that nearly every friendship Ive been blessed with in Lincoln was made at Meadowlark.

Meadowlark is one of the oldest coffee houses in Lincoln, and offers a nice variety of quality coffee blends and espresso drinks. Its a great place to study, relax with friends, or enjoy local music and art. Meadowlark is also conveniently located next to a co-op and other great small Lincoln businesses and public transportation. There is also a great bike rack area with plenty of space to securely lock your bike up.
