Cultiva East Campus

In the vast desolation of Lincoln's coffee scene, where drip coffee reigns supreme, Cultiva East Campus emerges as a beacon of hope, offering a respite for the weary souls in search of an authentic espresso experience.

As a law student at Nebraska Law, finding good places around Lincoln to get that kick is crucial! Cultiva is right across the street from East Campus, which makes it convenient to pop in for a cup to go before class or to plop down in any of their seating areas to enjoy a drink while studying.

The food was top notch. I always love specialty pancakes, and the Jimmie cakes hit the spot. I had their drip coffee (medium and dark roast), which was comparable to most diner coffee (dark roast was way better, though). The atmosphere was nice. The vibe is a bit of a hodgepodge, but it works.

I had never been here before this week and it was so so delicious. 10/10 food. The atmosphere is cute and local, just kind of loud but that’s expected when busy. I definitely recommend! I ordered a make-your-own crepe with bananas, blueberries, cinnamon sugar and a side of chocolate to dip in.
