Village Grinder — Restaurant in Omaha

I used to love coming here but the past 5 times or so I have come here, the coffee has tasted like burnt cardboard. No matter what flavor i ask for or what kind of drink, it all comes out tasting the same. And the service from a couple of the younger girls have been pretty lackluster and they seem annoyed every time I come in. I try to be not difficult in ordering my drinks. I keep it pretty simple and still seem to get a bit of an attitude. Whenever the actual owner has made my drink it comes out near perfect btw but unfortunately she isn’t usually making drinks. I love the atmosphere here so much but when that’s all you got going for you Im just gonna go to starbucks which I hate doing because I want to support local. So far all the local places around omaha are pretty subpar due to the coffee itself and service. I hope this place does better. Will probably come back in a few years to see if it got any better but ive wasted too much money on this place wanting so bad for them to just make me a decent coffee that doesn’t taste like cardboard. My wallet won’t...

We happened upon this cute little coffee shop while waiting to be seated at a nearby restaurant for breakfast, and I’m glad we did! First impression: super cozy and homey with a really welcoming vibe. The atmosphere was great, and the entryway was full of fun local items for sale—including honey from It’s All About The Bees, which was a nice touch!

My sister and I each ordered a latte—I got the praline vanilla and she went with caramel. Unfortunately, we were both a little underwhelmed with our drinks. There wasn’t much coffee flavor, and the syrups didn’t really come through either. That said, the barista was really knowledgeable about the syrups and clearly knew the menu well, which I appreciated.

Even though the drinks weren’t quite what we hoped for, I’d definitely give this place another try. The shop itself is lovely, and I could totally see myself coming back with a book or a friend for a cozy catch-up. Next time I’ll try an extra shot to amp...

A very cool spot to get tasty drinks and bakery yummies! This place has an inviting atmosphere combining fresh light through the windows, warm ambient lighting inside, the welcoming smell of coffee beans brewing, and interesting items to purchase for yourself or the person for whom it's hard to buy something new! The owner and staff are friendly and the clientele enjoy sitting inside and outside in pairs or with a group, or just curled up alone with a drink and a phone, or a book, or a computer! Good music and a clean environment! And, I don't even drink coffee! This is one of those places my wife wants me to try with her that for me are usually one-and-done, but THIS store is one I'd willingly and happily go to again with her more than once for a smoothie and a tasty bakery goodie! I...
