Astute Coffee Downtown

There might be a good reason for this coffee shop to open late. But I had to go somewhere that opened earlier.

I want to love this place. I think the mission is amazing. The people are friendly! The place is cool and welcoming. But the coffeeoh my. Before I say what I say I have talked to some roasters around the country to make sure Im not wrong. But it is problematic when a coffee shop has no coffee stronger than a light-medium roast. Especially when the beans they use for their espresso are roasted shorter than development of any caramelization. When I entered I asked for a dark brew. I was told they only had an Ethiopian Yerga. Not my thing. Way too acidic. So I asked for an Americano. Got my americano and took one sip and puckered my lips. No waythey use a light roast for Espresso? So I asked some questions and shortly after then brought a single espresso shot for me to try. It was to be frank undrinkable. Even my hubby couldnt believe it. I want this place to succeed so I beg them - reconsider your coffee profile. Have your acidic coffees but broaden your portfolio. And find a different espresso bean.

Exceptional multi-roaster cafe, great atmosphere, and a fantastic organization. So many pour over offerings from some of the worlds top roasters, almost impossible to choose what to drink (in the best possible way). Cant afford to miss this spot if youre in Omaha

What a sweet little coffee shop. And for a really good cause.
