Meadowlark Coffee & Espresso

Can't believe I just "discovered" this gem! Delicious latte, spacious comfortable seating, friendly welcoming staff, easy parking, fantastic art everywhere. I will be back!

After our ok food experience nearby, decided stop here for coffee drinks. Lady attending offered to cut about 12 honey packets for me, which was appreciated. Apparently not a lot of honey requests to justify a bottle out front. They have a bottle of the good stuff in kitchen but not supposed let customers use. I have once however! 4 shots Americano was very good. Really good multi-grain cookie we shared also.

Good neighborhood coffee place. You get the sense everyone knows each other. It's a little tricky to get to, in a strip mall and it has a bit of a hippie vibe, but that's not a bad thing. The cold brew is my favorite but the lattes are good too (they can be a little sweet, so I get mine with half the syrup). I hear good things about the food but I've only had pastries - which did not disappoint. Killer music on a regular basis. Friendly staff and patrons, from my experience. It's more a social gathering place than a good "get work/study done" place. They also feature local artists and musicians, which is cool and keeps the decor new. One small note - usually when coffee places have a punch-card loyalty program, you get a free drink when it's full. Meadowlark, you only get a punch for espresso drinks, not coffee, and when it's full, you only get $3 off instead of an actual free drink (even a small). That seems a little penny-pinching to me...

I confess I've been ignoring Meadowlark for years, assuming that it's more loved for its vibe and ways of drawing community than for its great coffee. Stopped in this morning and I stand corrected. This is one of the few places that still has a traditional macchiato on the menu (shakes fist at Starbucks). It was tasty! I will be back!

I really like this place. Their people are lovely there's great spaces for working, the vibe is chill, the coffee is great. They also have some nice desserts as well. Check it out if you're near South Street and 17th. It's a great place to hang out and especially to meet with friends

After being closed for a couple months this winter due to a tax issue, Meadowlark is open again under new ownership. According to the Lincoln Journal Star, the new owner was a former regular, so it appears that Meadowlark has retained its character and employees. With the exception of less paper in the front windows, walking in you can't tell that it had ever closed.They have a large selection of brewed coffees available every day, and a distinct selection of espresso drinks. There is frequently live music in the evenings, and a variety of seating options. It's great for solo trips, as well as small and large gatherings.I live several blocks from here, and definitely appreciate having them back open. When it was closed, there was no high quality coffee options in the Near South neighborhood. As someone who is passionate about my neighborhood, I am very excited that this community gathering place has reopened!

The service is great, super friendly people there and it's such a vibe. There not much food but today I went there and the cinnamon rolls were so good they were big and sweet and had a lot of frosting. Over all it's so peaceful and the snacks there are sweet and savory. Makes my mouth watering just thinking about there snacks. There super open and friendly

Place used to be nice when I visited lincoln ten years ago. Now that I have moved back a few years. I can tell you it has gone down hill. Poor management And rude service. Food is not what it was just three years ago. Coffee Is very poor and overpriced for quality offered. Seems to be going downhill Faster every time I have returned. Needless to say, I will not be returning and would not recommend.

Super cozy vibe! I love that they have mugs if you're staying inside. Would definitely come here all the to study if I loved here.

This is the best coffee spot in the south part of town. Always great atmosphere, music, art, and fantastic people. Make the open mic Wednesdays if you can.
