It was our first time and the cashier was helpful. You have to wait on yourself as far as getting your food and cleaning your table off afterwards. It was okay

The wait is not worth the quality. I keep giving this place a chance because it used to be great but the last year it has gone downhill. This time the sausage in my crepe was burnt to a crisp, and the last time my crepe was more dry than an elephants foot and was practically a tortilla chip. The neon light that has a sign "do not touch" must be for everyone including staff because that thing has months of dust on it. The nice lady cleaning the tables used a dry towel to clean the tables so if you drop something on the table i wouldn't eat it. At least the coffee is decent?

You walk in, you expect “hi, how are you” but you get employees staring at you like they’re perma trippin. The last 2 times I stopped in, the iced toddy was off. It tasted super watered down, weak in flavor, stale and not filtered correctly. This is a good coffee place but the staff needs to make sure they are being consistent. Being kind and social goes a long way.

This place is the type of place people would say "is a vibe" I think. It definitely had a feeling or vibe to it, if you will. The menu isn't vast, which felt limiting, but I ended up appreciating because I couldn't overthink it. It was some sort of Monte Cristo crepe that I got and wow, it was good. I would get that again in a heartbeat. There's some street parking out front.Parking: Some out front, but not a ton.Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible.

The cooks don't wear hair nets and one has a long beard and one has long hair so if you find hair in ur food don't be surprised

Food was delicious, service was not great. I could barely hear the person at the register - partly bc it is loud inside, mostly because he seemed like he wanted to avoid social interaction. Inside is pretty small. There was no big overhead menu posted anywhere, but there is a stand with menus just inside the door, if you make a point of noticing it (we did not lol).

We were in Lincoln the night before to attend a Lied Center performance and stopped into Cultiva for breakfast in the morning. In addition to our delicious crepe breakfasts, I ordered a double espresso. Much to my delight, this was, hands down, the most flavorful espresso I'd had in a while. I purchased a pound of the Black Label beans to take home for my Moka Pot and am happy to report the flavor holds up well in the Moka Pot. Thanks for the delicious food, helpful staff and wonderful coffee.

I made a commitment to try the top ten Lincoln coffee shops on Yelp. Today was a day off for me, so I decided to hit up Yelp's number one, Cultiva. I had the brekkie bowl and cubana coffee. Both were delicious and the cubana was perfect for me - a little sweet with good espresso and froth. The brekkie bowl has just a hint of spice to make it compelling and it was cheesy and the cool salsa gave it a nice contrast. The egg and avocado were also fresh and complimented the rest of the dish. I'm very happy that I stopped in today because I also got to pet Milo, a neighborhood kitty who is also a very good boy.

When I asked can I have a Cuban coffee?The Girl working there was very defensive and rude, She said we don't have Cuban coffee here.She was very aggressive, saying well that's what we have either get it or don't.So I gave it a try, even with the rude vibesThe coffee was bad as the service and attitude. almost threw up ewwwI travel the United States and and enjoy to drink a shot of Cuban coffee at every espresso bar.However this place advertised a Cuban coffee on their menu, and they actually do not have Cuban coffee beans.Even Walmart sells the original Cuban coffee grounds from Cafe Bustelo Cuban Coffee and Pilon Cuban Coffee, so it should be no excuse to not have it if its on the menu.That's like going to a bar and asking for Grey Goose and they give you Smirnoff
I have gone to Cultiva regularly for the past year. Without exception their employees are awesome creating a nice relaxedTheir food is also awesome and have items which are vegetarian, vegan, etcPeople will often combine tables for larger partiesCultiva has all one could want from a coffee house/minirestaurantThe employees serve as icing on a cake

Popped in on a Friday at 10:30am and, despite the line and the crowd, we got our food within 5 minutes of ordering! This was such a rare Cultiva experience. Food tasted amazing, as always. ? After that, I went to Cultiva Labs for a pecan pie latte. Day was absolutely made.

***Edit: Seeing as how the owner is very upset that their actions resulted in a one star review I figured I would make everyone more aware of our request. We submitted the order yesterday stating that we were willing to wait as long as required to receive our drinks. They were still very rude and demanded that we not return. We are not entitled to service so we happily found another coffee shop in town that happily provided us with coffee this morning within an hour of our order being canceled! I think it is clear that customer service is not their strong suit but there are plenty of lovely local shops within a few blocks of this establishment!Have been many times. Their coffee and food is great. However, every time we have been they have been incredibly rude. We love to support local businesses and have brought many large orders to this establishment but today we were turned away. The owner asked us to not return, they decided that they don't want our business. I can't imagine turning away business but we were personally called by the owner so they must not need more customers. I guess we will be taking our business to any other shop in town for our coffee. If you are looking for coffee with a smile this is not where you want to go. Save your money and check out The Mill, just as good and they are happy to have your business.
