Place is great. Staff is super friendly. Iced latte was great. A smidge pricey, but thats to be expected. Had a couple places to charge your phone/laptop, and a nice outdoor patio. The cool temperature in there was very refreshing after biking all over! Loved it. Wish I wouldve known about the loyalty card though! I missed my chance to get a card punch.

Loved their coffee, variety of flavors and nice setting in Midtown Omaha

Super delicious coffee shop. its a quick walk from where I live, so thats a plus! they have an amazing oat milk latte (my go-to) and seating by natural light. prices are affordable which is great as a student :)

My salted caramel mocha was great. Inside can get a bit loud when it is busy, but the outdoor patio is super nice and pretty quiet most of the time. The decorations inside are amazing and show a lot of thought and effort went into them; I was impressed! The outdoor space could use some more tables and chairs, but overall a great coffeeshop.

I like this place coffee is great but it is freezing inside so bring a sweater. Also, there is only one wall with outlets make sure you are fully charged. They have a really nice outdoor seating area.

Undoubtedly the best coffee shop in Omaha. Ambience is good and so is the service. You might find it little crowded due to the quality and demand of their beverages, but it’s totally worth the efforts. We have tried their capuchinos, lattes(dry latte) and americanos, all are so perfectly prepared that you will crave for more. Only complaint we have is the store timing which is too less - 7AM to 3PM. I generally ask my wife to bring coffee while returning from her morning walk. I wish they open for extended hours. Must try coffeehouse.

They listened intently while we placed very specific orders (picky but we know how we like our coffee). Got the red eye with oat milk, two pumps of caramel, and one vanilla. It came out perfect! Such a smooth and bold taste. Best coffee on our road trip across the country.

Coffee here is fantastic and served at an exceptionally quick speed. Baristas here are incredibly friendly and inclusive. One of the best places to visit if you want a safe, welcoming place to grab a quick coffee or snack!

Fantastic coffee and very polite baristas. Chai lattes are fantastic!

Got some frozen coffee, very amazing and flavorful.

Great place to meet friends.

Very good coffee shop in Aksarben Village

Average, imo, coffee selections and taste.

Returned recently. Service was excellent.They use torani syrups. My caramel latte was full of flavor with a rounded feel. Regret getting a medium. Should have gotten a large 😏Located within the aksarben shopping area. There is free parking in the front but it can be very busy.------Previous reviewBeautiful coffee cafe in the Aksarben area.Many people were working away at their laptops.They didnt have any specialty drinks, but they did have Italian sodas, breves (I dont see that everywhere yet) and you can add flavoring to your coffee based drinks. Their syrup brand is torani.I ordered a decaf extra hot. I asked for it to be served at 180 which is what I normally get from other coffee shops.They missed the mark by over 25 degrees. I did say 170 was ok... But even then 15 degrees.After the coffee I wasnt feeling the best though. I feel like either I didnt get a decaf or it was contaminated with regular coffee beans...Im not feeling great after having that drink.Ill give it 4 stars and hope that it was a over time mishap. The space is beautiful and my coffee, though not hot enough, did taste good.

Friendly and helpful staff. Good coffee.

Good espresso, and genuine energy

HORRIBLE customer service. Stopped in for a cup of coffee while walking my dog on a cold winter afternoon and was immediately turned away by the staff at the front counter (specifically the kid with long red hair with the sides shaved). Obviously most restaurants and establishments have no pet policies, but there was literally, LITERALLY no one in the shop. Just wanting to get a cup of coffee, pay and leave in an empty establishment (which takes literally not even one minute) apparently wasn’t even in the cards. Dog owners, be ready to leash your pup up outside like a horse in the 1800’s I guess. Never getting my business after that.

Excellent beans, nice coffees, well trained and courteous staff; very clean.

Great coffee excellent service

Great place to grab coffee or cold drink near Aksarben. They have an outdoor patio with several tables. They had live music the day we were there. :)

Bring your own cup for a $1 refill! Also has loyalty cards for buy 10 get one free! Great coffee, strong espresso, and an assortment of delicious baked goods. This place is generally very popular even on weekdays so it might not be the best place if you are looking for a place to work quietly for a few hours. However, it does have ample seating, and I often see individuals with their computers plugged in.

Open space concept that still feels like a nice, cozy coffee shop. Drinks are top shelf: you can smell and taste the quality immediately. Also some of the best, possibly the very best, coffee beans for home brewing Ive ever had. Its my go-to coffee shop in Omaha.

Great coffee, live music! Also a great location!

Driven by many times and finally made the stop the other day! What a wonderful coffee shop. The decor is so rustic, unique, and inviting. Id guess the shop itself inside seats around 24 people, not super large like some, but also has a nice roomy outside patio.The staff is friendly, prompt, and manages to get a line thats back to the door served quicker than any coffee shop Ive ever been to. Amazing!I ordered a pumpkin spice latte on this trip, because tis the season! And I was very impressed with the flavors and good balance of sweet and espresso flavor. The pastries that were displayed looked appetizing and freshly made. I didnt try any this trip, but seeing how little was left they must be delicious!Definitely recommend if you are in the area. Parking is no problem here as a side note, hassle-free, plentiful, and no charge!

I love the place, location and their coffee. Staff is amazing and customer friendly. The competitive price for their offering bring your own cup cannot beaten.

I pledge my eternal allegiance to Martha and all the rest. ROAST FOREVER!!

Quick service, good tasting drinks.

Great atmosphere, friendly service; and, absolutely love their pastries (especially the apricot croissants) and coffee/ espresso (the mocha breve is a favorite and so is their cold brew with cream and vanilla).

This inviting medium-sized coffeehouse has an outside patio with seating and occasional live musical performance. It feels urban-casual and makes good use of the space. Convenient no-pay parking lot is right there. Coffee is delicious.

Nice people and a great variety of drinks. Really like the 007 and Carmel bomb

Easily one of the best coffee shops in Omaha. Great coffee, great staff, great prices.The also have a small deli case. The few things Ive tried were great. Most of the items are provided by other local companies too, so everything supports Omaha!

Nice terrace and really delicious cold brew!!

Super friendly baristas! It was my first time there and they helped my friend and I find the perfect drinks! Super delicious. Chill cafe and awesome atmosphere!

Ive been a regular to Roast Coffeehouse for several years now. It is definitely my #1 choice for coffee when I need to recharge from meeting with real estate clients and customers.Just today, I was so thankful to take a table and spend an hour regrouping for my next round of client appointments. It was like an impromptu office away from the office.

Are you a hipster? Do you like to publicly type your novel in a Starbucks like setting? Then Roast may be for you. Or if you like good coffee. Their coffee is excellent but the atmosphere draws in hipsters and college students which is why I always take it to go. Their coffee is good though. I recommend a coconut latte.

Good atmosphere and nice employees, but the menu could use some work. They have all of the basics but they also have “signature” drinks that are on the menu with no description. It makes it hard to decide what to order. Espresso is also a little bitter for my taste, but overall it was okay.

Staff is very nice and you can’t beat $1 drip coffee if you bring your own cup. But...the outlets. Ridiculous. You better come prepared with a charged laptop or you’re SOL. If you don’t know what I’m referring to...they lock their outlets. Their two outlets. It’s like hunger games out here to charge your device. It’s 2020.

Dry cappuccino, and the beans were not roasted well and how it was presented I wasnt too impressed either. Tasted it and was not happy, yuck. No depth in flavor at all. Bitter. While the atmosphere is alright, if youre looking for cozy this is not the place. The service was on the same level...average. Ill be sticking to other local coffee shops that are just overall better.

Great staff, clean environment, and a pretty cool place just to sit and chill for a minute or two. By far, though, what you need to know about Roast Coffeehouse is they have managed to create the BEST dark roast in Omaha! Seriously, its pretty great and you should try some!

Prices are right on and the service is excellent! Good customer service. Delicious Coffee!!

This is a great coffee place. It has good atmosphere and friendly employees. Coffee is 1 dll if you bring your own coffee mug, oh yeah and it also tastes great. Only dislike are the stools which are a bit uncomfortable, but overall good spot to enjoy coffee while studying or talking with friends.

Decided to try a local coffee establishment and I was pleasantly surprised. The coffee beverages tasted great. The staff was helpful, patient and informative. The cafe is clean with a rustic yet modern feel. They also offer wine and tapas. I will definitely come here again.

Dont go to Roast for a bagel. The drip coffee was good and the staff friendly. I ordered an everything bagel with savory cream cheese to go. The bagel tasted like it was bought from a grocery store bread aisle. Instead of putting the cream cheese on my bagel, they put it in a small plastic container and have me a plastic knife, which felt wasteful. The amount of cream cheese provided was about half of what would be adequate to cover both sides of the bagel. The croissants looked good, but I didnt eat one. The atmosphere was friendly and positive.

This place makes the best lattes and scones. The atmosphere is perfect with all the dark wood and large burlap coffee bags. The staff is very friendly and quick. I thoroughly enjoyed my short time there this morning.

A great locally-owned coffee place. The location at Aksarben Village is where I go almost daily. Their employees are very friendly and they serve up some excellent coffee drinks as well as a great selection of globally-sourced coffee beans and related gifts.

Oh my God, I love this place. It’s pretty busy, but great coffee creates a buzz. They’re super friendly and their drinks are quality. I would take them over Starbucks any day. Genuine coffee!

Hands down the freshest and tastiest coffee around. Fast, friendly service. If you crave real good cup, this is your stop.

First time visiting here and loved it. The staff helped me pick something to drink based on special requests. Thank you for offering a variety of milk alternatives. Will definitely return when we are back in town.

Cute coffee place in Askarben.We went on a weekend morning and it was pretty busy. Theres a lot of seating but nearly every spot was full. Luckily despite how busy it was we still got our drinks quickly. I saw they have bakery items from Le Petite Paris which was neat.Overall, cute place, good service, and tasty drinks!

Coffee is so good here and the staff is even better. They know exactly what I want the moment I walk through the door. Everything is local, too, which is awesome. 10/10

One of my time 4 in town. The dude they have play guitar there sometimes is good. Plays with his soul

A strong hipster vibe, but a lovable staff. The coffee is Great, not completely sugary, and some fantastic pastries - never felt more satisfied with a cinnamon roll! (Its not floating in frosting, so you dont regret eating right after).

Great atmosphere. When I went every seat in the house was filled and it was still a comfortable place to work. We stayed until close and friendly barista sent us home with a day old almond croissant. I will definitely stop here again!

First time here and I love this place! Soy latte was delicious! Atmosphere is wonderful. Staff is personable. ...AND they just brought us all a warm croissant- just because they appreciate us. Pretty amazing. COME! BRING FRIENDS! -Brooke G

I love coming here from time to time! The drinks and rolls are good and the staff is always super genuine and friendly. It is a great location to get some work done.

Roast is rad! Love the staff, and the coffee is equally as amazing. Their pastries are also top notch. The best part is they gather different yummies from all over the city. Its not just one vendor or bakery. Their bagels are the best in town, then they get their spread from somewhere else. Its divine. Check it out. Youll love it.

One of my favorite coffeehouses in Omaha! Always great drinks and service. Very welcoming.

Man I love this Coffee shop! Its always been a nice solid latte, and I really enjoy the Daves Blend for home toddy. Highly Recommended!

I’ve been here a few times prior to today for coffee dates or meeting up with a friend and generally have had nothing bad to say about my experience or the coffee in the past. Today was the first time I came in to grab a cup of coffee to go while walking around with my dogs and friend.Unfortunately, the minute we came in they immediately turned us away because of the no dog policy, even though I only wanted to grab it TO-GO. I understand and respect places that don’t allow dogs in the establishment unless you have an ESAN or Service Animal. Even so, the majority of places in Aksarben (even the new Inner Rail) at least allows me to get my order then leave.This alone will deter me from coming back at any point in the future with or without my dogs, who are essentially my children.

Great coffee. Friendly staff. Bring your own thermos for $1 drip brew.

I love the atmosphere here with the French music, the high windows, and the installed lighting. I never expected to be marveled by tables, but Ill be darned if I didnt stare at those copper tables for a good four to five minutes. The girls staffing on that day were very cheery and were happy to inform on their choices for coffee and pastries. Although I was at first irritated that there were no plugs around for my laptop, I readjusted my goals for the establishment and instead read a book and drank my coffee. I cant say that I resent them anymore for cleaning up the floors from laptop chords. I never do like saying Im sorry after I trip over one.

I got sing a few songs with my good friend George! Music was amazing and the coffee was delicious!

I bought a London Fog. Tea flavor was a little weak for my preference, but it was still good and reasonably priced compared to similar establishments and menu selection. Will probably go back again.

Coffee is great! The selection is limited, but what they have is good. The interior is very nice looking and has a good aesthetic. Unfortunately it feels like they dont want you to stay very long. Its not very cozy and there are no outlets for your laptop. Great place to stop in and grab a drink or have a nice chat with a friend.

I love this place. The atmosphere is great, I love the big windows that allow sun to come in. The employees are all very friendly as well. Thank you Roast!

Great customer service. Delicious coffee. Savory bagels and nice outdoor seating 😎

Best ever staff....

Ive been coming here frequently since January 2016. Ive never had a bad experience; staff is fantastic, drinks and food are great. I would definitely recommend stopping in.

Cheerful, friendly staff serving tasteful coffee and other treats in a relaxed and cozy atmosphere. Exactly what I needed this morning. Thanks guys!

Love Martha. Love the vibe. Love the coffee. Love this place!!!#carmelbomb

Delicious chai

You know when you go somewhere and just feel at home? Roast gives me this feeling every time I walk in through the door.The owner, Martha, has created an inviting atmosphere for all ages and backgrounds. Typical coffee bars tend to get clicky, but Roast just feels comfortable for all.The shear amount of choices can be overwhelming for the first-timer, but the staff will guide you through the thick of it cheerfully.I love the unique brews on rotation each day, the local pastries, and unique events. Keep up the great work Roast!

Super fun vibe here and great coffee too. Met someone early for a business meeting, connected to wifi. The front counter person was helpful and explained the coffee roasts well. Thanks!

I had the churro doughnut and it was sooo tasty! Next time Ill try the Pain Au Chocolate. I also ordered a medium hot chocolate with whipped cream on top. It was good but I wish it was a little hotter. However, I did enjoy being able to drink it without scalding my tongue!

Overall pretty good. I wish they would serve more light roast coffee.

Fantastic coffee and staff. Very social place so if youre considering going for a quiet place to work, this isnt it. Would definitely love to see more locations around town with more seating.

Roast is one of the best coffee shops I have ever set foot in. The moment you open the door, and every time after, you are greeted from the counter, numerous feet away, by any one of the many excited and talkative baristas. Even though they close quite early for a coffee shop so near a college campus, I still find myself changing my studying schedule to be able to go there and study. 9/10.

Comfortable coffee spot with excellent baristas and baked good delicacies. Crowd is affluent middle age and busy college students. Coffee is aromatic and well caffeinated with non-milk options like soy and almond. 11/10 would go back.

Great coffee and nice staff. But for being a coffee shop on a college campus, this place is pretty useless. There are no comfortable places to sit and study and there are only 2 outlets which are only at the largest table.Plus, how is a coffee shop on a college campus only open until 5 and/or 6pm. Would love to walk across the street in the evening and study at a coffee shop after class but I cant because they arent open. Longer hours would send this business through the roof!

Not enough seating. Went in mid-afternoon and only one available seat and there were two of us. Decided to go next door instead.

Great people and great coffee! Only downside is that no cushion seats. All very hard wooden or metal chairs. Not easy with having spinal fusion surgery.

Nice coffee. A little pricey. Early morning sunny days are SO bright with little to no relief inside. Some mornings also get quite loud. But generally I like this place.

Ive been here a few times. It has a nice atmosphere and patio. Tea selection is so-so. Good cookies. Can get pretty loud in the morning and there dont seem to be enough electrical outlets for a coffee shop.

Best damn coffee in Omaha. If youre not too much into coffee, the mocha is the best Ive ever had.

Good coffee. Busy in morning, not enough seating. Outside seating could use a couple of umbrellas.

Great service great green tea

Nice place. Parking is difficult. Good coffee. You might have to wait for a table. You will probably see many people you know.

Very good dark roast. A great wake up!!

Very good coffee. A little pricey, but nice. Atmosphere was very pleasant and staff was top notch.

I’ve been to Roast several times in the last few weeks as it has been a convenient spot to meet with colleagues. We had initially selected Roast in hopes that it might be relatively quiet but that weekday at 9 AM it was quite busy and there was only one small table remaining. It was nice to see how well they are doing and how many customers were there. We had picked it thinking it wouldn’t be busy when in fact they were serving many people that morning (so good for them)! I am not very educated when it comes to coffee but they were very helpful. When I ordered a cappuccino, they asked me if I would like it wet or dry. I sheepishly had to ask for them to explain what the difference was, which they did happily and without making me feel silly for asking. It took only a few minutes to prepare the drink and in that time I used the restroom. When I came out they remembered which order was mine and handed me my coffee. I appreciated them remembering the face that went with the order so they could get me my coffee when I wasn’t there as it was initially finished and called out. The second time I was there, a new employee was receiving some training at the register. I think most people might not have realized that the cashier was relatively new because his partner who was training him did so very skillfully. Again I ordered a cappuccino and he took my order. The trainer quickly asked if I would like it wet or dry. I sensed that was her way of demonstrating to him how to complete the order but she did it in a way that protected his pride and didn’t make me feel uncomfortable that there was a “new guy“ making my coffee. I appreciate when new employee training doesn’t subject the customer to longer weights or awkward exchanges and in this case it certainly did not. So kudos to the manager who was assisting him that day!In addition to coffee drinks, Roast serves a variety of pastries. I have never tried their food so cannot speak to that. And I am not a proficient coffee drinker so I can’t speak to the quality of what they serve. I thought it was quite good but that’s the opinion of a relatively new coffee drinker. They have several size tables for different size parties. There are many tables for twos and fours and then there is a large table that would hold 8 to 10 people. Around the perimeter is bar seating. They have the space laid out nicely and in a way that could comfortably hold probably 30 to 40 customers. Roast is a great spot for the Aksarben area. I’m excited to see how their business grows with the completion of the HDR building that is under construction.

Amazing drinks and incredibly kind staff. A good noise level for studying, though it can be hard to get a space next to an outlet during peak hours.

Plenty of space to relax and enjoy a cup of Joe. Super clean and nice staff.

Coffee is good, but there is no baby changing station in the mens room.

Though the place may be aesthetically pleasing I was very disappointed to walk in and find no outlets available at any of the tables. Good place for casual encounters but not a great place to study.

Absolutely love Roast! Went for the first time about 3 weeks ago and I’m back almost every day! Fantastic and super friendly Baristas! My drink was recommended by Jacob the barista! Thanks, mate!

Cool little coffee joint. Got a really good mocha there and the staff was really nice

Heres why ROAST is the best coffee shop in Omaha:- down-to-Earth staff that are genuine, fun, and talented- place has super jive atmosphere- they are the only place in town that can froth almond milk to the consistency of a god- they are owned by A Hill of Beans, who are the #1 roasters in the city that never advertise and have become the best literally by word-of-mouth, supplying huge companies like Google with their coffee beans- I have a low-key addiction to espresso and am at home with these super dope baristasTry them. Commit yourself to them. Let them make love to you through their flawless coffee.

Decent local coffee shop, not a lot of seating/tables are small. Coffee itself is good quality.

Love the place, coffee, and the staff. I also love the seating arrangement. Wish it was opened later though :(

Came for coffee for the first time with a friend and the staff was very friendly, the ambiance was pleasant and the coffee was delicious!I will certainly be returning! :)
