While the ambiance was nice and their mission commendable, This place is just okay. Im pretty disappointed since it has such high ratings. I had the chicken salad sandwich with a side of their potatoes (red potatoes chopped, pan fried, then drizzled with a dressing and added feta cheese, on top of mixed greens). The price came out to around $13-15 if I recall correctly. While the sandwich was nice (100% overpriced however), the potatoes were unbelievably salty. The potatoes are already seasoned, and then they add a salty dressing AND THEN feta cheese which is also salty. I couldnt eat it all, and I like salt on my food! But it was so overwhelming, and not to mention the amount of oil from the potatoes. I dont know who makes the menu, but that menu item will most definitely induce acid reflux. The workers were cordial but more into keeping conversations going with people they knew, rather than help someone standing at the register. Maybe it was their off day but its not a place o would recommend.

I have eaten breakfast or lunch here two to four times a month since they opened. The ingredients are always fresh and the food is always beautifully prepared. Excellent value for the price and much more healthy than other places downtown in the same price range. My favorite menu item so far is the butternut squash, red onion couscous. I order deli size and use it as a side dish for my meals at home. Yum! Everything is so perfectly prepared, that even though it is a fairly simple dish, I could never get the couscous to achieve that same level of texture that really makes the dish. These people are true professionals! I dont have much of a sweet tooth, but I have bought select pastries and desserts for friends and they have been very impressed. Highly recommend.

I am a returning customer. And at the beginning I assent happy with the experience ( 2nd time ) because they were very slow, soon to understand that they were simply dealing with high volume. As I waited a good 20-40 min from my coffee then food, suddenly the cashier popped up with a complimentary desert and apologize for the wait. Would recommend to add at least 1 more chef on a Sunday. All of the good is really really good, and comes in small amounts which enables customers to get more than one for a fair price.

This is one of my favorite places in Omaha. I come here at least once a week. I love their fresh salmon and fresh salads the most but Ive tried everything on the menu and Ive never been disappointed. Everything is so well made you can tell the chefs really care about the food they serve. They do change their food seasonally so sometimes things change and its so good you dont want it to change but this is my go to place in Omaha, defeintly worth checking out.

I loved it, I had the galette which was phenomenal. The beef cheek was so tender and the brisee was perfectly fakey. It is small, but thats how a brisee is. I also had a Nutella beignet, it was delicious. I just wished my French pressed coffee would have been made right on the spot, but it was still tasty. The staff is helpful and informative. Love that you can see through the kitchen, shows you that their ingredients are fresh and authentic.

Food had a great presentation. I had an egg sandwich and my boyfriend had their french toast. The egg sandwich was pretty good, but the french toast was delicious. It was infused with walnuts. The fact that they really only sell coffee was a bit disheartening since were not coffee drinkers, but the organic beverages they offer are alright. A bit pricey, but wed return for the french toast.

Stopped here because it was close to my hotel. Not impressed. A nice enough place, but too much effort on fru fru and not enough substance. Portions are small for the price and the combinations are just weird. Seriously, a tart pastry with braised beef, a poached egg, hollandaise sauce topped with some kind of vinaigrette salad with pickled onions...

Whatever you do, order something that comes with bacon jam. Your taste buds will thank you. I personally love the quiche and the egg white sandwich is also delicious. You cant go wrong with any of the sweets, either. Everyone who works there is always super friendly! Great food and great service will keep me coming back time and time again.

This place has the best, most flavorful soups of all the restaurants in Omaha that Ive been to! Everything is extremely flavorful, fresh, and the prices are unbeatable! Its a PERFECT lunch spot downtown. This is the first review Ive ever written, and its because this place blows me away! Try it!

Staff was beyond friendly and provided personal service to help patrons find the flavors and experiences they were looking for. Always willing to provide an explanation of any food or drink. "Whole egg sandwich" unlike any breakfast sandwich youve ever had!

Creative, delicious limited menu. Excellent coffee and tea. Friendly, efficient staff. Bright, airy, downtown location. Excellent accessibility for my scooter. Fabulous lunch today and going back for beignets tomorrow before we leave town.

This place needs more business. Ive had so many great brunches here and their cold brew is on point! Pesto Potatoes, a must have, and Im a big fan of the frittata. Plus you can watch them make the food right in front of you. Thats pretty cool.

This cafe is amazing. The food is fresh and prepared in front of you, the staff is always helpful and courteous, and the decor is perfect! I grab lunch here, almost daily. I love having a healthy lunch option downtown. I highly recommend!

Im a flight attendant so Ive had many breakfasts in many places. I got my food to go, I had the quiche with bacon jelly and it was life changing. Service was great and the restaurant was clean. If youre in the area its the only place Id go!

The quiche I got from this place was delicious. Just a great combination of flavors. The latte I ordered was pretty good. And I ordered a cannoli which was also pretty good. The quiche is the reason for the 5 stars, otherwise a solid 4 star.

Dont usually revisit places on trips, but Culprit could be a daily visit (an exception to the rule). The bacon spread on the egg white sandwich is a must! The spinach quiche and salad are phenomenial and dont forget the beignet!

Adorable cafe with baked goods, lunch items, hot breakfast, desserts, and various brunch beverages. Vegan friendly. Everything is delicious! Take the time to linger and enjoy; this is not a fast in and out place.

Outstanding. The filled party was amazing and the other items were excellent. The servings are reasonably sized, dont be afraid to order and share. The taste profiles run the gamut from sweet to savory.
