Zen Coffee Company

Oofta. I really really really wanted to like this. My husband and I went a couple weeks ago to share a coffee flight and a toast flight. I LOVE when places serve flights because I'm terrible at making decisions and love trying smaller amounts of different things as opposed to larger quantities of one thing and you can experience more of the menu quicker. And this menu looked really fun! But it was over $60 for coffee and toast(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) And it didn't even fill us up. I STILL have sticker shock 2 weeks later. I will say as a positive that the toasts were great, interesting selections, we liked all 4 flavors we got and the presentation was cute. (We got the Lox/cream cheese bagel, Nutella/Strawberry, Avocado Pesto, and Caprese.) $28 for 4 slices of toast though? OUCH.The coffee flight was $23 for 4 small glasses (I'm not sure exactly of the size, but I would guess 6-8 oz) but if you work it out, you could just get the medium 16 oz drinks for the same price. For mini portions don't you think it would be a lower price? That just does not add up, and I feel duped. Check out the prices of flights vs. full glasses for places like Hopcat and Kinkaider and you'll see how it's done right. We tried Butterbeer, Belgian Waffle, Honey Bee, and Cinnamon Dolce. With the exception of the waffle on top (which was great), all.four.coffees tasted positively *identical*. How is that even possible? Aren't there supposed to be flavor syrups in it or something? You need to adjust your recipes because there was absolutely NO flavor. As we kept drinking we thought maybe the flavors had settled at the bottom, but no. All the same to the very last drop. Plus they spilled because the board they're on doesn't allow for any place for your fingers to grip and set it down. There are rubber sticky things on the bottom so it won't move, but that also means you can't just set a corner of it down in order to slide it smoothly onto a table. The employee spilled it trying to set it down at the counter, then more spilled at the table because it just can't be done gracefully. (It wasn't his fault, mostly just the design of the board and weight of the glasses that makes this impossible.) He was very apologetic and the staff was very kind, but at these prices for totally mediocre coffee that all tasted the same, I cannot justify ever going back.

highly raved about in omaha so was intrigued to see what it would be like in lincoln. coffee flights are a genius idea, similarly so are the double sided cups. coffee selection is wide - drink selection in general. going to any new place have only been open two weeks i feel tho is hard. everything assumably is just stressful. that said service was a bit slower that expected. however, it was nothing crazy. the shop is very cute and spacious. would be a nice place to study, catch up, etc

It's an open floor plan that is common. The flower decor that is actually well executed everything ties really good together. The staff is nice and communicative towards each other. The coffee is soothing tried the coffee and the strawberry scone.
