 Coffee out west |
14512 West Center Road Omaha, NE 68144 United States +1 402 333 6048 |
Conveniently located in the Harvey Oaks Plaza, this coffee shop offers fresh beans and great coffee drinks to go. The coffee store offers lattes, mochas and cappuccinos. The downside is that there is no seating available, so you have no choice but to choose "to go". However, the quality of the specialty coffee drinks makes this a worthwhile stop. You can also buy a drink, stop next door at TCBY, buy dessert and enjoy your snack there. Shop online and let the aroma of fresh coffee beans arouse your senses, sitting right at home.
