Astute Coffee Downtown — Restaurant in Omaha

400 miles and 3 days later I am still dreaming about this pour over!

After staying at a favorite hotel numerous times I finally wandered over to Astute Coffee

There are so many things to love about this place

The space itself is just fun! Circular and bright with all good vibes

The name & it's fitting definition. See attached photo. I think that the word Astute is underused.

The Logo! Really, your Branding is spot on!

The people! I was with my son who makes some uncomfortable with his over zealous interest, comments & questions.

Extra points for inclusiveness in businesses. DEI often leaves out the cognitively challenged. The team at Astute were welcoming and kind.

The mission I am all about supporting business with a cause even if it is good but not great. Not a concern here! Astute is a social enterprise worthy of your support!

Let me tell you I love a great cup of coffee. The pour over I had was truly beyond! I was lead to my decision by a very knowledgeable employee who understood the flavor notes like a sommelier understands them with wine.

I was so sad I left too early to get one the following day but will be back!

What did I have? I do not remember the name of the roast but it had IPA in the...

Service was so good I had to make an account to write a review. Went to get my bike fixed since I rolled over a pothole and popped a tire. Fully expected to have to leave it for at least the day, but the shop owners took it an immediately started fixing it for me. Went out for groceries and it was finished when I came back, they even polished it!

The icing on the cake though was the girl working the counter. She was super sweet and kept complimenting my bike. I ride a bright yellow bike with a basket, so it’s kind of distinctive. I believe she called it “tight”, which made me smile. After they fixed it I ended up buying a coffee out of obligation ( I felt I owed them for the polish and the quick service). The girl working the counter made me a white mocha latte and made delightful conversation with me the whole time. Later that morning I was punching the air that I didn’t get her name because hand to God that was the best coffee I’d had in MONTHS! Like I was just buying it for politeness, she did not need to make it that good. If the owners are seeing this review please pass along my gratitude to this girl. She said she was going to UNO for Poli-Sci and...

Astute Coffee is the best! So glad we visited today! The interior decor and atmosphere is stunning and amazing - great to hang out/ meet up with friends or colleagues and also to dine alone to study etc. Extremely friendly and helpful customer service. I had a maple bacon donut and it was delicious! They also serve muffins from Hardy which I didn't order today but know are delicious. The mocha breve I ordered was incredible - smooth flavor and had the perfect balance of espresso to milk (I could've ordered full pumps of flavor and it would not have been overly sweet - but half flavor was still delicious too). Others in my group ordered full-flavored Turtle lattes (both iced and hot), and they absolutely loved their drinks and also want to come back again for more. Very cool merch available to purchase too. On top of all that, Astute Coffee's mission is wonderful and is worth supporting for that reason alone. An overall wonderful/ amazing/ enjoyable experience and definitely plan to visit as often as I'm back in the area! Thank you...
