This place was sooo cute. I love giving my business to an all vegan spot, heck yeah. Super cool reusable jar discount program (I stopped in on a road trip, so I wont get the advantage of the discount but I still use my jar all the time!) I think my only teeny tiny complaint would be that the breakfast burritos were small. Very very small. But so oily that they felt more filling than something that small normally would. The pastries were incredible!! The coffee was delicious. But the burrito was probably a lil overpriced for what you get

New favorite coffee shop. I love that they are zero waste and vegan. The carry-out jar system is really cool. Great flavors and tons of variety.

Very, very pleased my friends and I found this place! I had a delicious latte with Oatly milk and a gluten free raspberry coffee cake for breakfast, and grabbed another piece of coffee cake to take home. The staff were very friendly, and the space was small but fun. Definitely will go back the next time I’m in town!

This is NOT your “run of the mill” coffee shop! This place (in my opinion) needs to be featured on travel networks in the “Places You MUST visit or you’ll be kicking yourself if you don’t” category for Omaha. Their coffee is smooth and delicious. Like drinking velvet! The lattes aren’t too sweet and come in a variety of flavors. Don’t know what to get? They are great at helping and very knowledgeable. Seriously my favorite coffee house in the country, so far!

I can’t tell you we drove to Omaha from Denver for the coffee. Or even for this coffee place. But I can say that I’m glad a vague and random search for “vegan coffee” pulled this place up. The coffee drinks were innovative and delicious (pistachio coffee!!!) and I didn’t even end up getting a coffee and instead got a riff on a London Fog, and it was spectacular. If you live in Omaha Clint yourself lucky to have this wonderful place at your disposal. If you’re just passing through go here without hesitation. We have to drive back and Omaha is enroute so we’ll be back. Happily!

Neat, eclectic coffee shop nestled in the heart of Joslyn Castle. Their glass bottle program is very unique, and I hope they intend to keep it for the long haul. Their cold brew is very good, their pastries are good as well (with gluten free in mind). It is fairly tight quarters, and may not be the spot to catch up on work, but could be a good place to catch up with friends and strike conversation with wrap around bar seating. Overall, Id say take a gander, grab some coffee, and enjoy the atmosphere.

I got a dirty pumpkin chai latte that tasted like christmas at an old lady’s house. What more people?

This is a serious coffee house. They roast their beans on site and have a variety of coffees to choose from. I highly recommend the pistachio latte!!! Their gluten free waffles were really good as well. Very thankful the weather was nice and we could sit outside with a lovely little view of St. Cicilia Cathedral. Situated next to Omaha staple, Lisa’s Radial Cafe as a reference point... it’s a nice local alternative coffee choice! Five stars.

Stumbled upon this cute coffee shop on our way to the bakery around the corner, and so glad we did! I got the London Fog and it was delicious. Wife got a salted caramel latte, and said it was the best in town by far. Our favorite thing is definitely that the drinks are served in glass jars (with coozies so you don’t burn your hands) that you can bring back and get $1 off next time. We’ve been trying to reduce our plastic use so this made us very happy. We will be back again for sure!!!

Hands down the best coffee in Omaha. Was on the hunt for something decent (not expecting much in the midwest..) and I was blown away by the variety of the lattes and the sheer deliciousness of the blend. The baristas know their stuff and their coffee shows it. Then, learning that the whole place was vegan was just icing on the (vegan) cake. I had to get dos pastries just for the sake of options. And then! With the reusable jars, It was like cherries on top of the icing? (This analogy is running dry...). Really have a hard time finding something bad about this place. 100% willing to drive across town for this coffee.

I don’t know why I didn’t check this place out sooner! You are sure to be pleased by stopping here. The coffee is well priced and tastes lovely. Roasted on site. Their treats are wonderful, sourced from Sweet Magnolia Bakery and all vegan with a good portion both gluten free and vegan. I love their emphasis on reusable and environmentally friendly serving options. I will definitely be returning:) Make sure you check out their parking map on their website, it’s a bit confusing if you don’t know where to go.

I had zero expectations walking in here because we just randomly came across it and wanted coffee. I am so glad we walked in here. First of its a great looking place and with amazing and friendly staff. They also put their coffee into jars so you are encouraged to reuse and recycle and honestly I cant think of a better idea. They are doing great things here and I cant wait to go back.

Wonderful service and delicious drinks! I also appreciate the gluten free foods that are offered, never had a reaction.

We came to Omaha for a coffee crawl, and this is hands down the best! They give you an adorable glass jar for to go orders and the lattes are unique, vegan, and not too sweet.

I just stumbled upon this place while driving so I pulled over to try it and was SO impressed. Such a cool place and really good price for a small, local business with good quality product. Plus I love the reusable jar to-go cups. 10/10 recommend

Awesome place! Cute and environmentally friendly! Vegan too! Love it! Great tasting coffee and tea!

Amateur has the only Rose Cardamom Latte in town, and its delicious! This is my favorite coffee in Omaha. The subtle sweetness of the rose is perfectly aromatic, and the cardamom gives the latte a little kick on top of the espresso flavor. Their pastries are delicious and the setting is super clean and professional. I cant wait for the pandemic to be over so I sip my coffee in this beautiful urban environment.OH! and their cups are re-usable glass, and come with a cute little coaster and lid, this way customers can be more conscious of the environment. Love this idea because I love re-using and recycling.

Super good coffee. Roasted right there in house. :). Im not a local, and just sort of stumbled in here. The gf waffle was yummy!

Thanks, Shelby.The cold, feeling of a huge unwelcoming burden made it really nice for us to experience.I hope you’re not that self righteous, annoyed, pretentious, and cold hearted o the other customers you encounter.Such a shame and truly disappointing.Oh and there was another lady in the back. Thanks for not caring as well. Wish could get your name but you were too busy avoiding distance as well.

Super cute coffee shop with super delicious coffee!!! We enjoyed the caramel latte (to go), and it was heavenly!! We love Amateur Coffees to go jars as well. Such a neat touch! Highly recommend this place!! ❤☕

Holy crow this coffee is goooood! Traveling from Flagstaff, AZ to RI and I’m writing this review on the last leg of our trip, from Lebanon, PA to RI and hands down this was the BEST coffee. I don’t think I’ve had coffee this good in Phoenix (where I live) ever. SUPER impressed. I got a hot latte with Rose & Pistachio - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Omg ❤️The chicken and waffles was excellent, and the brownie was fabulous too!

Our last stop before heading back to Kansas City. It is definitely somewhere to come back to. The coffee was excellent. We really appreciate their use of reusable coffee cups. This concept would do very well back home.

A cute place with a good vibe. The baked goods were great but the coffee was just mediocre. I think the milk substitute didnt sit well with me. Still a great place to go and grab a treat.

Love this place so much! Amazing coffee and amazing healthy drinks. Lots of tea choices as well. Staff is wonderful and they always have rad music playing. Some patio seating! You must stop here!

This is a rare find as it is a vegan coffee shop which serves oat milk.They have exceptionally friendly staff that will go out of their way to explain things.The only issue I found was, their seats are all very high stools. It doesnt seem very wheelchair friendly. You have to be the type of person that can sit on a stool without a back. I just know of some people who might have issues.It makes for slightly uncomfortable seating, but its a small space so it does maximize spacePricing is pricier but its vegan milk which usually costs more. ($6 for a latte with syrup) They have oat, almond and coconut as options.Parking is available in front as street parking or in the back in a parking lot.Great little gem!The spirulina steamer for me was a 4 🌟... I think I just ordered the wrong one. For spirulina, its good, but Im apparently not the biggest fan of it.I got a decaf vanilla on my second go. 5 🌟The baked goods are from magnolia bakery. I wasnt as much a fan of the scones, but the vanilla donut was 5 🌟They have a bottle program now to recover on waste. Pay an extra $1 and you can keep the cup. Return it and you can get $1 off your next drink.

Very pleased with their variety of non coffee drinks! The staff have been absolutely wonderful. Overall a great and welcoming environment

If you haven’t been here, you need to go!!! They are so welcoming and friendly. I have enjoyed the Teas and the juices! Absolutely amazing! This is a one of a kind place in Omaha. Check it out you will not be disappointed!

Great coffee! I’ve returned two glass jars, when I do online pickup. (I do online pickup so often that I already know some the employees names) I mentioned this to the employe this morning who I don’t think has helped me before because I went inside today to order & was hoping to get a discount. And he just repeated how the process works, wasn’t very helpful. So I guess there’s no point in returning a jar since you don’t receive a discount.

Wonderful coffee. Just really, really tasty. Our favorite is the Tutti Frutti (a roast, not an added flavor).

Stumbled across this place and it was definitely meant to be. They had gluten free for my child of course later I realized it was a vegan spot!!! Omg, so happy that we came here, baristas were so welcoming and friendly. Try them out!!

The effing pistachio oat milk latte is what my dreams are made of....but this place is pretty spendy. My dreamy latte will set you back like $7.00 for a 10oz drink. They have lots of vegan options, parking in back is limited.

Wow!!!... best latte I have ever had. The berry scone was delicious as well.

Cool to-go ware for a quality cup of coffee. Also enjoyed the shortbread and chia pudding I got on a quick stop for an early morning drive through Omaha. Definitely dont miss this spot.

Their lattes are ridiculously good. Im not vegan and just tried this place, their oat milk pistachio latte was probably my favorite coffee drink Ive ever had.

Fantastic espresso, super nice staff, inside was really clean, great decor, fun merch, parking behind building btw 👍

They use oat milk, which I had not tried before - its delicious! I also loved the chia pudding.Recommended for any coffee lover, vegan or not!They have non-coffee drinks as well, like golden milk (turmeric honey) and others.

Love all the fun coffee “cocktails”! Super unique

Great service. Amazing coffee and the seasonal menu is awesome. Recommend the Pistachio Latté. Also the Gluten Free Brownie is insane. Will be stopping by a few more times before heading home to Texas.

So thankful to have a vegan coffeeshop in Omaha! Our favorite is the iced pistachio oat milk latte. Cutest little interior. Definitely buy a bag of beans for brewing at home.

I love that everything is vegan! I love the vibe. They havr pastries from Magnolia that are to die for. Reusable jars are fantastic too!

You can tell the owners at Amateur Coffee love what they do. It’s unique that all the seating is at two countertops with bar stools (or the patio outside) so you sit quite close to the baristas. Because you sit in such close proximity to the baristas, interaction with them is easy and its obvious to see that the owners love what they do. The shop is quite and clean. Atmosphere is quiet. I met clients there and it was easy to have our conversation and enjoy great coffee.

Three happy vegans had a jolly time here. They use oat milk which is my fav. Everything is nice, clean, and organized. 10/10 stop by.

Love every single detail of this all-vegan cafe. Their brand of oat milk, Oatly is the best animal milk substitute I’ve ever tasted. Jasmyn and Jacob pour their knowledge and TLC into each hand-crafted offering on their menu.Pro-tip: Sign up for their rewards program.🌱 “Love Something More” ❤️

I am estatic to have a Vegan Cafe in Omaha. Not only that everything I tried was outstanding. Ive never had a better cappuccino. The owners are absolutely delightful. The do have a high chair option which greatly impressed me. The owners said they loved kids which was really comforting because my son definitely left crumbs from his pastries. Looking forward to many stops and trying many beverages.

Great coffee and a nice experience overall! Thanks!

Fun and nice place. Good parking, friendly and knowledgeable staff. The Sweet Magnolias GF pastries might have been a little stale on a Sunday morning (but Ive not had them before so that might be the normal state.) They were delicious.I got Artemis Byzantium tea as a latte, wife got the Lady London Fog. A bit surprised by the glass jar serving mugs and koozies, but they worked very well and we get a buck of next time.The team might have taken a bit longer to make but were worth the wait. Will definitely be back!

Try the oat milk latte. You’ll thank me for it. My other favorite part is the beautiful artwork on their coffee packaging - so much attention to every detail. Lovely.

I have been searching for a great coffee place. I am originally from NY and this coffee shop compares to some of the best coffee shops in NY. The service was exceptional and the coffee even better. Love this place! It is a hidden gem. 5 stars from me!

Delicious vegan donuts and latte options.

This might be one of my favorite coffee shops ever! They have incredible beans and know a ton about them. Theyre super kind and helpful. The coffee and baked goods (especially the brownie) are all great.

My partner and I were trying to visit all the local coffee shops last year, Amateur is my favorite! I love the pistachio latte, but they have great unflavored drinks as well. I love the glass to-go cups too, I reuse them at home or packing drinks/food for work all the time. I cant wait to go back, and hope to get some of their beans to use at home too.

Great coffee, friendly staff. Nice view

Super delicious waffles and good coffee.

Love the Rose latte! 💕 Friendly staff great pastries.

Trendy space with friendly staff. Coffee was incredible & the reusable glass to-go jars are a major plus!!!

Placed an order for 8am pick up. Arrived and had to wait to be acknowledged. Once acknowledged was told they didnt have it ready and that someone didnt come in for their shift so we would have to wait. We had a stop to make around the corner so we said okay and we would do that while we waited. We arrived back and let them know we were back and then proceeded to wait over half an hour for our food. Even after clarifying that we ordered 3 waffles we were only given two and had to wait longer. Then the staff proceeded to be rude about everything. Great food but terrible service.

Easily the best iced latte Ive ever had!! Ive been vegan a year and a half, plus Im a former barista. My oat milk iced latte in a reusable glass jar with an adorable little sticker made my heart so happy. Ill be back every time Im in Omaha!

This coffee parlor is ran by amazing folks who make wonderful product and really invest in the community. The seating area is smaller but very cute and cozy, all to go drinks are in reusable jars and the whole cafe is vegan. I love this place and I definitely recommend going there

Great coffee. Great staff. Great space. This place is really awesome and has become my go to when visiting Omaha.

We’ve really enjoyed their bags of ground coffee in the past, but today was our first time trying their actual drinks! I loved the Birthday Cake Latte and their Dirty Chai. The chai wasn’t too sweet and you can tell they use real tea instead of a chai-flavored syrup, which I definitely prefer. The oat milk was steamed perfectly and the coconut whip was delicious! I’m not vegan but I am lactose intolerant, so having a coffee shop to visit that is all dairy-free is amazing! I truly appreciate & respect their commitment to veganism and reducing waste. We can’t wait for our next visit!edited to add: yeah, it is a little more expensive than the typical coffee shop. but with the reusable cup, oat milk, and other quality ingredients, I’m more than happy to pay a dollar or two more than I would at another coffee shop. They’re not that much more expensive than anywhere else, and the quality is 10x better.

Delicious coffee, roasted on site, 100% vegan, & quick service.My go-to at any cafe is an iced black Americano with extra espresso. At lot of coffee chains have bitter espresso which makes my Americano unpleasant, but Ameteur Coffee was on point. I added a splash of oat milk because its my favorite plant milk & most places dont have it.I had a great jar of coffee, it was already less expensive than many other places, & the sustainability of returnable jars made this tree huggers day. I think I found my new coffee spot.

This place is AMAZING!! Listen, I love oat milk and this is absolutely the place to go. Their drinks are fantastic and the atmosphere is cozy. Also, this is a great place for gluten free folks! They have a good selection of gluten free AND vegan items. The staff was incredibly friendly and I bought a coffee thermos to commemorate my visit. Would absolutely love to come back here any time.

Phenomenal drinks. Phenomenal baked goods. Phenomenal service. I’m from South Dakota, but I LOVE visiting any time I’m passing through Nebraska. It’s one of the best coffee shops I’ve been to in my life, and the fact that it’s 100% vegan is the best!!

What a lovely coffee shop! I absolutely love that they use glass jars for to go drinks instead of needles waste! Will be visiting often!

I had placed an order online (2 mocha Lattes). The order took a little while to come out. But other than a little wait, the coffee was wonderful and tasted great with breakfast! Ill definitely come back again for a tasty coffee. Also good customer service from jasmyn.

I had a seasonal peppermint mocha latte and a piece of cinnamon coffee cake. Both were amazing! I was very impressed that everything is vegan and they take additional measures to be environmentally friendly as well. Since everything is vegan my sister, who cannot eat dairy, was very excited to have a place she can go and order anything off of the menu. This is a small shop with a varying pastry menu. There were 5 options the day we went and everything looked great!

Great coffee, super friendly staff, and tasty waffles!

I dont hand out 5 stars easily. Something has to WOW me / surprise me on the positive side / exceed my expectations. During a weekend trip to Omaha, I visited a lot of places that are on the must visit lists. The iced pistachio latte from Amateur Coffee was the best thing I consumed during my time in Omaha. The flavor builds and develops as each sip moves from the front of your pallet to the back. I highly recommend it.

A really fun coffee shop with a great selection of warm and cold drinks. The London Fog is one of the best drinks I’ve ever had. They also supply Modern Love with coffee and you can buy their specific blend there, so we definitely did that, and it’s amazing, too.

This is a little secret gem! A must visit! Everything is delicious! My favorite is their Chia pudding!

A true hidden gem in Omaha worth the trip you will find some very cool things here

Went here for the first time the other weekend. My daughter is gluten intolerant so this place was perfect! She loved all the options. The coffee was wonderful. Great flavor and some fun combinations. Baked goods from Sweet Magnolia so you cant go wrong. Atmosphere was quaint and casual. Location is right on cumming so I think that limits the walk-ins. So you have to want to go here. Patio in the back is small but it is a nice place for two to sit and get away from the street noise.

Great coffee, great atmosphere, and an amazing window bench. Definitely would recommend. I also appreciate their attempt to eliminate single use plastics with their to-go glass jars.

Sustainable practices, excellent space, delicious roast

Always an enjoyable experience, Ive had the pistachio latte which is yummy and the jade matcha is also very very good. Be patient while youre here as the shop is small, but the pay off is worth the wait. Also they carry some goodies from Sweet Mags, which is next door--vegan cinnamon sugar donut is heavenly

LOVE this place. I can’t drink a lot of caffeine, so their alternative drinks are really freaking good. I got the Turmeric Oat Milk latte. Only complaint is they don’t have the most comfortable seating. But it’s a really small spot, so they did their best!

Love the uniqueness of being the only vegan cafe. Did not like the glass to go. Saw a group of customers leave because they wanted dairy, I can imagine that is hard to only offer one option. Food was delicious..I really enjoyed the chia puddings and wellness drinks.

I love that everything is sustainable and it all tastes great!

2nd best coffee Ive ever had and much cheaper than the best. Fabulous place. Pastries are great as well, I even bought a shirt I like it so much.

Really cute little place that has both a wide selection of coffee and teas. There snack / breakfast items were delicious. Has a great casual environment. My only 2 complaints was there not a single outlet plug in anything. I know its a lot of students going there to study and should be something consider getting in the future. The seating situation is also the not the most comfortable. A cute place to go get something to drink but I would not recommend studying there.

Vegan coffee shop. Also using glass jars for sustainability, with a discount if you bring the jar back to use on consecutive visits. My husband and I got the maple latte. Made with maple syrup and oatmilk creamer. We are not vegan. But these lattes were amazing. We went back the next day to grab two more as we headed out of town.

Perfect!

Good cup of well made coffee and a place to sit and read a book for awhile. Quiet at first, but started to get busy when I was leaving. Didnt feel noisy or cramped while was there. Will definitely return again.

A gem that I like to show off to out-of-towner friends and brag about to our in-town friends! Although I am not Vegan, I appreciate the concept. The drinks are crafted PERFECTLY! Seriously, Take👏🏼My 👏🏼Money!

I had the spirulina and elderberry latte, a cold brew coffee and a few vegan baked goods. Everything was fantastic and the staff was super cool too. ✨✨✨

Fantastic! At Last!! I cant thank them enough for being Open in Omaha!! Omaha, Amateur Coffee is worth supporting. Each detail of the experience has been joyfully implemented. From shape and thickness of each type of glass or dish to the stripey paper straws. And the vegan treats are a taste phenomenon. They are all vegan. And several also GF/nut free. And coffee, I didnt think it was possible but Amateur Coffee has me loving something more about you, too. ..

The best latte Ive ever had, if you go, try the pistachio latte! Very small and comfortably clean place. Im in love.

Very cool local coffee house that is all vegan. If you bring your own mug you dont have to pay for a to-go cup.

I very much love this Mid Town coffee shop. Their vegan offerings are perfect for vegan and non-vegan folks. The staff are very friendly and always want to make sure they are taking care of your needs. I love their non-traditional drinks like the Beet Ginger Latte--my FAV!!!! They always have gluten-free pastry options as well. When Jacob is roasting coffee beans, it smells so wonderful!!!! Thank you Jacob and Jasmyn!!!!

Cute little spot. I tried the gluten free waffle; it was excellent. I also had a matcha and rose latte; equally as excellent. And I tried the gluten free frosted brownie; it wasnt for me. But awesome, friendly, fast service.

I was my first time visiting. The coffee was great, and service was wonderful! I cant wait to go back!Edit: Went back. Got an iced vanilla latte, and it was the best Ive ever had.

This was our first visit, and it was great. They serve pastries from Sweet Magnolias (who are just around the corner), and we were already big fans of theirs. The shop is smaller than many others, but feels more comfortable rhan clausterphobic. The staff were quite friendly and welcoming...and did I mention the coffee was excellent? The shop doesnt use paper cups for to-go orders, but have glass jars which may be returned for a refund on a future order (if Im not mistaken). Amateur Coffee has acquired a new enthusiastic fan.

So many great coffee shops in Omaha, and this is another one of them. I had a orangecinni latte on the seasonal menu and it was so delicious I ordered a second to-go. My to-go latte came in a glass jar with a sweet unique lid that I will definitely be able to reuse. After reading more about to shop later, I learned that they use oat milk as a dairy substitute in all of their drinks. So many surprises! I will be visiting more often.

Great little coffee shop. The owners staff the shop and are super friendly and helpful. Great customer service, great coffee. Tiny little shop so you may want to get an order to go. The pastries are lovely and the waffles are super yummy. Everything is vegan which is great for us plant based folks and those non vegans will still enjoy it. It is so nice have a vegan coffee shop in Omaha!

Staff were ready and willing to explain the ingredients and process of several drinks. My drink was delicious though dainty. Theres not a whole lot of seating, but there are a few more tables out back in the nicely shaded alley.

I went to visit Amateur Coffee after searching for Vegan food in Omaha and it was one of two options that popped up. Im so glad I took the time to go here. The staff was incredible and the coffee was top notch, I will definitely go here again when visiting Omaha. When I told them I was searching for places to get good vegan food they actually wrote out a list for me of where to go and what to get. Thank you all so much!

Best coffee in town! The owners and staff are so nice. Everything is vegan, from the coffee drinks to the pastries to their amazing chocolate chip waffles. The space is small and intimate, with a patio out back. You can buy bags of their various roasts, and they even offer a monthly subscription service!

Went there for the first time today and it was amazing!! Nice staff and clean! Plus the lavender latte was incredible!

A great little place! The service was very friendly, there is parking in the back, and the latte was fantastic! It took a second to get used to it being vegan, because the flavor is distinctly different, but overall that ended up being a good thing! I can get a decent latte at many places, but this is somewhere to go for something unique.

Very good Costa Rica brew. Nice vegan scone. Charming atmosphere. Pleasant barista. Great neighborhood spot.
