Didn’t know this one existed. I’ve only gone to the one on 30th. My dad came to visit from Seattle and I took him to about five different coffee spots all around Omaha. Hardy’s was his favorite. I even mailed him a bag of beans on his birthday. Needless to say though, this is a great little tucked neighborhood location.
One of my favorite places to be! The baristas are friendly to all, and the atmosphere is exactly the right mix of calm, with some chill music playing in the background of people’s light chatter. I’ve brought my partner here who was immediately in love with the place as well. I’ll be purchasing a membership for 2022!!! ❤️
I LOVE Hardy Coffee! They have such a great vibe! There are comfortable seating areas ask around the shop. They have a super cute outdoor space, too! The tea and baked goods are great! (Im not a coffee person, but all my friends who like coffee seem to enjoy Hardy.) They also have great staff that are attentive and kind. Definitely a great stop!
This was my first visit and it is hands down the best PSL I’ve ever tried. I will absolutely be back to try other stuff from the menu.
So this is my next coffee place in the series. The ambience is nice. The place is usually very quiet, people come here to work. I went there for fun and was feeling out of the place, next time I will be ready:p. Its a simple coffee place with limited food and drinks option. I had the cappuccino and my friend had the latte, they were good. I asked the server and she told that the talkers sit on the other side and serious people sit on the other side. They have open mic on Mondays so you think if you have it in you this is the place.
Fantastic coffee! Their cold brew is one of the best in town. Very open space to sit and have conversation. Great atmosphere!
I must say, the logo drew me in first. Was looking for a place to stop for a hot drink to take to the rink and so glad we stumbled upon this gem. I do love coffee and wish I could have tried theirs as it smelled amazing. But since it was 7pm I opted for their Apple Chai. You know you are at a great coffee shop when they answer “None of our drinks are really sweet” to your question of “is it really sweet?”. Spot on! I totally dislike sickening sweet coffee or tea drinks! She made my chai extra hot and it was perfect. Just the drink for a hockey game when it is -10 outside! I’m hoping to stop on my way out of town for some coffee this time around! Oh and yes, Covid protocols in place!
A great Benson hangout to talk, network and get things done! Atmosphere is fantastic, coffee is tasty and the staff is very personable. Im so glad I stopped by, it will be a new favorite spot to meet with friends and clients!! Great job on having such a welcoming coffee shop! recommend this place
Cute establishment, service was friendly and welcoming, coffee was fabulous, decent place to work or study but my chair was uncomfortable, otherwise I really liked it.
Hardy coffee makes the best lattes in town. Their syrups are made in house and the flavors are to die for. Their fall pumpkin spice and maple cardamom are divine and I look forward to drinking them each fall! The staff are friendly and the shops are always clean and inviting. Support local baby!

To many stuck up people to enjoy good conversations
Nice spacious and clean environment! Staff were courteous and friendly. Recommend the morning glory cupcake + its vegan!
The service wasnt the best. I ordered English Breakfast tea with a splash of milk and added a tip. No milk and no one let me know my tea was at the counter either. The area was clean, though, which was pleasant. The music was at a level that you could carry on a conversation.
I’m here while powers out great place to relax their cookies out 10/10 and affordable
Nice, strong, full flavored coffee. Yum!!
Wonderful staff and coffee. Cold brew is liquid jet fuel
Best tasting espresso Ive had in Nebraska.
Super good place... perfect for making your work too
Honestly terrible, not sure how this place has 4.5 stars.. coffee was not good and food was even worse
Good coffee. I also like the coffee cake. They heat it for me. Good and pleasant atmosphere for coffee drinkers.
Great time at a bridal luncheon on the patio...great iced coffee, helpful barista and even help from the cashier!!!
Enjoyed the atmosphere and employee were very kind.
Went to this location for takeout coffee. Cute little wall window that we ordered from made me happy! Great staff from what we saw, very friendly. Cool menu items, excited to explore more of them. We got a blackberry latte and a maple cardamom latte. They were both sweet, blackberry the more dessert-like one, the maple reminding us more of traditional coffee. Both amazing!! The blackberry was my favorite. Will return to order different things. Would recommend for a caffeinated treat every now and then!
Delicious coffee and friendly staff
I came to Hardy Coffee - Benson for the first time today and absolutely feel in love with this place! I got a hot vanilla latte and it tasted great and the barista even did a flower design on the top! The people here put love into their work and I think that is what makes this place so special. They also have a cool walk thru window for connivence. Music is also full of great hits to sit and vibe too. 10/10 coffee shop for sure.
Hardy Coffee is one of my favorite coffee spots in Omaha. High quality coffee, great location, tasty treats - Benson has a cool back patio space too. My favorite about the Benson spot though? I can walk there with my dog and order at their convenient coffee window. My favorite drink their is the dirty chai latte. Their chai is INCREDIBLE.
Great coffee and service, worth the trip. They have offerings you dont find at the sterile chain stored
This has become my go-to place to grab a bag of beans. Some of the most interesting varietals and washes in the area, and the friendly staff never forgets to remind you about the free cup of coffee that comes with the bag. No worries if you don’t have a grinder for your beans, they’ll gladly do it for you.
Came here for a coffee and a need to relax, and Aromas fulfilled that need perfectly. The vibe is very modern, the wood and industrial furniture millennials like me seem to gravitate to. The coffee is spectacular, and the treats from the partner bakery were above par when compared to standard coffee shop fare.Overall Id highly recommend it. Nothing blew me away but it exceeded the expectations I normally have for a coffee shop.
Visited on a Wednesday I think. Really nothing but great experiences here, so I will be back. Prices are reasonable I would say. This place has many great reviews for a reason.
Cool Hangout. For a company that is really more mini chain than small, they give off the small vibe well. They have been received well in the city. I always appreciate a Mom doing her thing and they have a huge church following- although I really only see the husband, its cool they offer to our community. Their pastries in shop are so good and made by the Owner. The coffee is alright by itself but I prefer as a latte so it is all good! I appreciate the fact they dont judge and offer all types of latte options and arent snooty about it.
It was good place to visit. I like inside ambience and good hospitality from the staff.
Honey lavender latte on ice 🥰
Amazing tea blends
Honey lavender latte 💜
Love the outdoor pickup window. The seasonal drinks are delicious and their muffins are great too... Did I mention their cake is AMAZING!!!
Lovely little coffee shop! Coffee was delicious and the temperature was perfect. Lots of initiative to reduce waste (options for reusable cups, recyclable takeaway materials). The ambience was lovely, it felt very homey and inviting.
Amazing establoshment
Very Friendly Staff. Delicious coffee. Parking on the east side and in front.
I give this place two thumbs up. Looking forward to a return visit.
Hardy Coffee Co. is my favorite, go-to place to decompress, relax, or get work done. I love their coffee, tea, food, and employees. Their space is always clean and efficient. The employees are so positive and eager to help. Hardy wouldn’t be so great without them. If I could give more stars than five, I would.
Great coffee, cute shop, very clean. Super nice staff, and coffee was HOT (so nice on a cool day!)
Great coffee and great staff.
My favorite spot to get a coffee fix! Best iced lattes, and dont even get me started on their homemade pumpkin spice/chai sauces!! Love it here.
Good coffee and awesome muffins. Very modern look and is a good place to go get coffee.
It has lavender tea
I didnt try any of their coffee and whatnot since I only needed to use their printer but the staff was cool and real nice
Nice place for hangout.
This is a great relaxing space. Wonderful coffee. I am curious to see live music here sometime.
Baristas are super cool, friendly, and the atmosphere is very chill! If youre down in the area, stop in. Solid space to kick back for a minute
I love the aesthetic of this place. They have coffee too.If you need an excellent environment, theyve got that going.
The coffee is really good. The atmosphere is a little cold and modern for what I like in a coffee shop but its a nice lofty vibe.The service is hit or miss with pleasantries vs awkward looks and pointing at menu lists.But Ill go back for the coffee regardless.
Nice, quiet, cool... Its like the 90s all over again in a good way. Just a great spot to meet up with some friends and have some tea.
Formerly known as Aromas. Great spot and definitely the best coffee in Benson. Added to the great coffee, their lemonade is just excellent. I highly recommend adding their lavender honey to it.
I love this cozy little shop! Im not usually one to go out of my normal orders, but I had an apple chai latte and it was fantastic! Would definitely recommend.
It was amazing. Went to open mic on Mondays and it was an amazing environment. the coffee was good too
My coffee was tasty. Very good roast. spacious place. Looks like 2 places made into one. The seats couldve been made a wee bit cozier :)
Nice place, clearly they have good coffee, but my cappuccino was a little too hot -milk over steamed, not smooth and creamy as a cappuccino should be. generally good place with good atmosphere.
Ive been here a number of times to study and get homework done. It has a lot of seating and it wasnt too busy (at least not when I was there which was usually during the weekday mornings). The coffee is good, and the staff are friendly. It appears they offer more than coffee during the evening as part of their cafe had a stage in it. There is also a small outdoor patio area to enjoy as well as a walk-up window to order from should you want to do that.
So, I am not actually a coffee drinker, but I love their cute teapots and amazing teas. The woman who works there every Thursday morning is friendly and welcoming. Great place to relax, get some work done, or just grab a quick pick me up.
Relaxed, VERY spacious, cozy place to enjoy some coffee and chat. Visited for the first time recently, and plan to go back frequently. Appeared to be lots of college (or college-aged) kids--all of them studying or conversing quietly--but it appears to be a great place for kids and family as well. The staff were very helpful and kind.Seems a great coffeehouse to talk with friends, to converse with kids while they enjoy smoothies or juice, or to quietly enjoy a book over a steaming cup of joe.
Nice, different, good coffee. I just ordered a coffee with unlimited refills and just had the house blend. It was a Monday morning, good crowd, pleasant atmosphere. Will go back if in the area
Great place to meet for meetings or collaborate. Could use Outlets more around the table area. Also wouldnt be bad if there could be some cushion on the seats. Being having to sit for long periods of time tend to take a toll.
Great atmosphere, lots of space to work, free WiFi, quality service 👌
Best coffee place in town. Service is top notch.
Great location and solid coffee (and tea, though Im more of a coffee guy). Giving it a ding as the staff is not always the most friendly or personable. They arent mean, just a little cold sometimes.
Great coffee, atmosphere, and community-minded management. Try the pecan sticky rolls. And heres a shout out to having changing tables in the bathroom! These people get it and its perfect.
Great environment when I went. Staff has drink suggestions and I had a wonderful tumeric chai. Was a bit nervous about the choice, but it was very tasty! Wifi password given on receipt when you purchase, so be sure to ask for the receipt. Very busy, so not a quiet place, but there are outlets. Board game area was very messy and bathroom was quite smelly/not the cleanest, unfortunately. However, overall, I had a positive experience and would go again.
Delicious and healthy choices, wonderful places for small business meetings *and relatively quiet .
Aromas vibe is artistic and welcoming with ample seating, eye catching art, and artisan coffee. Gabe my knowledgeable barista cares about people and coffee. The pastries like the gooey Carmel Roll are popular for tasty reasons. Aromas is an easy spot to relax or work with flavorful, not burnt coffee.
Im a big fan of matcha green lattes, and theirs did not disappoint! Creamy and delicious! The one in Benson will always be my favorite because of the outdoor garden seating, its a little oasis away from the city ❤️
Needed an excellent cup of coffee and Aromas came highly recommended. I was not disappointed. I am a French Roast addict so I was a bit disappointed that I had to settle for the standard house cup...boy was I wrong. Delicious, nice color and flavor - OK, pull over, this is a must stop for a great cup of coffee. Nice and comfortable inside too. Enjoy!
A cool coffee shop that manages to feel both intimate and spacious. I recommend the apple chai latte!
Love this local coffee house! I love getting a coffee to stay and hang inside or out. I will drive out of my way to come to benson for it!
Update 2: Its gotten better, and I havent the staff member who tried to convert me working there in a while.Update: This has now become a refuge for highly questionable confession groups, loud church planning meetings (for clearly problematic churches), and intrusive Bible studies. And a staff member tried to evangelize me, while he was on the job. There are also some rumors floating around about the owners philanthropic activities. With all of that, I have to downgrade my rating.Old review:This Aromas location fits its Benson surroundings, which makes for a great coffeeshop. Good coffee, cool staff, and the Bliss goodies are always tasty. Decor could use some...decorating. And some of the seating can be uncomfortable. But one of my favorites in Omaha! Ive never been for a show, but Ive heard good things about it as a venue.
Ive been coming to this place 2-3 times a months since a year ago. The coffee is great. Its really cozy and a perfect place if you have anything to read or study.
No problem, the service was excellent and friendly without being overwhelming. And my Chai tea was amazing 😎
Hardy Coffee Co. has been on my top 10 coffee shop list for about 4 years. Unfortunately, this past Sunday I was in your Benson location and was utterly disheartened by the service, patrons and overall vibe this place has turned in to. The barista was anything but friendly and acted like guests were a waste of energy. The patrons in the store were completely awful that day. I smiled and said hello to a few people who looked at me as I passed, but was only given a blank stare or scowl. There was a small church group who entered, 4, who clearly thought they owned the place- frowning at others, talking loudly, only giving each-other the time of day. Another group of 4 walked in- ordered drinks, admired artwork and sat in a corner. One in the group was not a native-English speaker and the others were teaching him different words and sentences in English. This atrocious church group then began talking even louder and commenting on this man not knowing English and how he should be speaking it, although he was CLEARLY trying to learn it.Anyway, I know you cant control all the guests, but I was so off-put by all the rude people in here, ruining the vibe, when I remembered Hardy Coffee in Benson as a relaxing, welcoming atmosphere. As aforementioned, the barista was also extremely unfriendly, not knowledgeable about products, and also gave me the wrong food that I paid for.
Great coffee shop atmosphere. Nice pastries. Gluten free options. I like to get the mug of coffee but I see everyone else gets the to-go cups.
This is one of my homes away from home. I hang out here because coffee top notch and cheaper but better than more mainstream places in town. Atmosphere relaxed and lots of space. Parking usually no problem🐈🐈
Excellent local coffee shop! Great variety, great atmosphere, great staff! The free live music is also a plus! Wish they stayed open a little later but this place is legit!
First time I’ve ever had their hot chocolate, no complaints 😌
Friendly baristas and atmosphere. I really like the little hidden garden so my boy can run around a bit safely while I relax and get some needed sun since I work nights.
Always has a great selection of pastries
Good local shop. Yummy tea. Fast service. Was a delightful place to fire my crappy realtor and soften the blow with a delicious scone and pomegranate tea haha
What can I say? This place has the best coffee, baristas, prices, and atmosphere. Their daily brew is better than most places American. The Benchmark roast is well-named bc its the standard by which I judge all other coffee roasted locally.
Great coffee, either in pourable or grindable form. :) Plus their decaf is really satisfying, for those of us who love coffee but cant always stomach a lot of caffeine! Love the vibe here. Generally a good, quiet place to hang out, study, or work, but it also doubles as a music venue.
Had a white chocolate latte and it was very good the guy behind counter was friendly and helpful
Aromas is a great coffee shop in the Benson area, with a good size space available for people to come and read, work, or study while enjoying their coffee. I havent really had any of their food, but I enjoy their coffee, and Im sure their food is probably good too.The only drawback I can think of is when theyre busy it can take 5-10 minutes to order and get your drink, but Id say its worth the wait. They also offer free WiFi, which is nice if there arent too many people on using all the bandwidth, though when theyre busy it can get sluggish.All in all, its a great place to get some coffee and socialize or work on something. Worth checking out if you havent before.
Trendy place but have yet to find my coffee. Will keep trying the varieties offered though!
Aside from the great coffee amazing desserts, my barista was Gabe and he was nothing but nice and helpful. I work in customer service and know what it takes to work a long hard day and still be kind and genuinely friendly especially so close to close! I really appreciate it!!!
Great place for a cup. Would like to see local live bands here. Beautiful mocha!
Very good coffee, shop, just seems on weekend mornings may need an extra barista, as they have a sidewalk window & inside was so busy, they couldnt help people waiting outside (who had their pets). And it was raining. Nice shop, good eats treats.
Friendly staff. Good coffee andtreats. Relaxed atmosphere.
Good attention to coffee, and functional space. I also liked the laid-back, rustic/dive vibe.
To be fair, I live in Kansas City... So were fortunate to have a plethora of top-tier coffee establishments. But still, when the barista is confused by my inquiry about pour-over options, youre not in safe hands. He could have been new, but someone counting the register cash (owner?) was right there as well. Speaking of, advice to the establishment- dont count your drawer + tips in front of customers. P.S. they also got our order wrong. Well stick to Archetype from now on.
Will come back. Great place. Great coffee. Deffinately recommend.
