What drew me here were two things; the amount of vegan options and my wife always picks treats up from Le Quartier who seems to supply the bread here. Overall a good experience and a place that I would visit again. There is a small portion of outdoor seating, but a few steps away is a nice fountain that you could eat your meal at. I also like the self serve nature of the restaurant. You get your own cup for water and take your own dishes away when you are finished. I will be back!
Be sure that you don't miss this gem of a place when you are in the Lincoln area! With generous portions and everything made to perfection you will be glad you stopped! The bacon, the biscuits.... my mouth wanted more but my tummy was full!
My absolute favorite breakfast/brunch spot in Lincoln! Incredible fresh ingredients - farm to table! They have a great menu and atmosphere. In the warmer weather I love to enjoy the outdoor seating. You walk in and order at the counter - they will bring your food to you! Highly recommend checking out The Hub Cafe! ☕️
The Hub Cafe is absolutely aces. The standard menu is incredible and they have specials each day that are equally great. We tried the crispy pork belly gyro bowl ($10.50), the breakfast sandwich with chorizo added ($10) and the savory breakfast bowl ($11) and all three had great flavor and left you feeling full but not weighed down. I highly recommend their cold brew as well ($3 when you dine in). They have outdoor tables on the patio but if it’s full just get your food to go and sit at one of the many park benches overlooking the trail!
Love this place! cool vibe, yummy food and mimosas! The staff is friendly and super chill! If you’re looking for a greasy spoon breakfast joint, this is not your place. But if you want local healthy Food this place is a must!
My family ( two little kids + husband) are traveling from Iowa back to our home in Denver & this is one restaurant we frequent when we make our long roadtrip to see family. The food is delicious, fresh, and made from quality ingredients. Even better the staff is friendly, kind, and went above and beyond to serve my family when we were hungry and tired and hitting a wall. The kindness you gave us when we needed it, I will not forget. Thank you for all
Very nice place for vegetarians and vegans! The menu was clearly marked and the food was tasty. The Huevos Rancheros had a lot of beans and the sweet potato sandwich had a great sauce. It is a little pricey.
Went here for the first time with my sister and it was so good! We tried to come one other time but the wait for food was too long so this time we came on a Wednesday! We got the Avocado + Preserved Lemon Toast and Roasted Sweet Potato Sandwich to eat, both were amazing!
