    I had a vanilla Latte here and it was awesome. Most place I go have little flavor and is excessive on the vanilla. This place has it just right!

    Love the baristas here. They’re always so fun and talkative. Coffee is great, but the outdoor patio is my favorite.

    Didn’t know this one existed. I’ve only gone to the one on 30th. My dad came to visit from Seattle and I took him to about five different coffee spots all around Omaha. Hardy’s was his favorite. I even mailed him a bag of beans on his birthday. Needless to say though, this is a great little tucked neighborhood location.

    Good espresso style coffee and variety of vegan treats including brownies, muffins and burritos. Wish found this place earlier have been struggling to find well made espresso coffees in the area.

    Love this place! Great coffee and ambience. Absolutely love the outdoor area in the back! So quaint!! The staff is super sweet as I couldn't punch the hole in my plastic lid and spilled it all over the counter in the process 🤦🏻‍♀️. The staff was very understanding about it and told me happens daily! That's the only negative to this place: they need new lids for the plastic cups! Otherwise, I always love coming here!

    Tasty drinks! Great coffee and tea variety- you gotta try the Spicy Maple Shaken Espresso! The seasonal drinks are always good and interesting, and there is plenty of space inside.

    The coziest of all their locations! Love the garden area. And great coffee certainly adds to the ambience. 🧘‍♀️

    Got the seasonal spicy maple espresso shaken latte and the loaded burrito, both were top notch! Extremely friendly service and welcoming environment. There was a great buzz of people chatting!

    I always feel welcome here! I love the baristas. They're super friendly and make bomb drinks. It's a chill place to get work done, meet up with friends, and get some great coffee. I always recommend hanging out at this location. Tip your barista when you go!

    We have been to Hardy in all the locations. Truly enjoy it. Just got the peppermint Mocha with extra peppermint. Really good. They have been consistent every time we have visited over the years. Highly recommend. FYI…they do not over sweeten their drinks. So if you like your drinks sweet you might consider adding extra syrup.

    Great little spot! Loved the vibe, and the staff was great! The coffee is fantastic, very robust and flavorful. We always look for the local coffee and food places when traveling. And I’ll just say- If I was local, I would be a regular! Definitely a win for a great coffee and baked treats if you’re in Omaha.

    Always a stellar experience! Love their seasonal menus too, the honey lavender latte is 10/10! Follow on Instagram for great updates.

    Very nice coffee, the service was really quick. The pecan roll was delicious, they ask if o want it warm and considering the cold weather it just hit the spot. I would definitely come back again.

    Hardy coffee is such a wonderful staple in our neighborhood. We drink the coffee at home and also offer it to our guests at our short term vacation rental. I’m mainly writing this particular review because I ordered some mini pies and kept thinking I was forgetting something the day before Thanksgiving. Of course at height of Thanksgiving rush I got a call from Autumn the owner letting me know what I’d forgotten and that she’d be happy to drop these off because it was on her way home. I’d never in a million years expect this and you shouldn’t either ;) but this is the level of care the owner of this business puts into her customers. Thank you Autumn for going above and beyond when I’m sure your tank was already very empty and you were surely looking forward to going straight home. It means so much. -Angie

    So cute!!! The coffee was fantastic, the muffin was delicious, and the service was amazing!! The staff are so nice. It was my first time there, and I will most certainly be visiting again.

  • 5/5 Rachel S. 1 year ago on Google
    1st time at this location and it’s my new favorite in Omaha. Has a homey quaint feel to it, like it’s been there for 50 years but is updated spacious and clean. Busy enough but not loud or crowded. LOVE the outdoor patio and the ladies working were both so sweet and helpful.

    Hardy's has vegan options. This is why I am a customer. Their vegan items are quite yummy. I'm giving 5 stars because I like what's vegan, the shop is a nice place to be, and the staff always behaves pleasantly. However, this review will include an important complaint that will hopefully help owners understand the seriousness of VEGANISM to their vegan customers. Whenever I order the vegan burrito in person, I'm always asked by staff if I want sour cream with it, to which I always reply, "no, sour cream isn't vegan." There is, of course, vegan sour cream, and Hardy's doesn't carry any. I ordered doordash, and the sour cream came in the bag. On the app, I didn't have an option to reject the non-vegan topping. To be vegan is to boycott all products that come from animal use. Having a non-vegan item included with a vegan order as default is a display of ignorance. Can I trust that the other things they SAY are vegan actually are? Do not call something 'vegan' on your menu if the whole order is not. Dairy items should never be volunteered to those not asking for it. Cow products are not positive for many reasons: antibiotic resistance, animal exploitation, environmental damage, etc. Consider those who are lactose intolerant. That's an allergy! In addition, it's important to connect with loss of business for limiting the vegan options. You know this to be true already based on the success of the brownie—which is always vegan. Vegans only choose animal-free foods—with no exceptions. If someone says they're vegan but they partake in non-vegan action periodically, they don't understand what the Philosophy of Veganism is. It is not merely a diet, it's an ethical way of living that boycotts all animal use, all the time, as far as possible. Now, pre-vegans DO eat vegan food. For example, I love poppyseed muffins. There are delicious vegan poppyseed muffins I buy at Whole Foods. I wouldn't cheat on my ethical standards just because I want a poppyseed muffin, I'm at Hardy's, and I don't want to make the drive to Whole Foods. I choose the vegan option instead, whatever flavor it may be. Boycotting the use of animals is more important than my taste preference for a POPPYSEED PASTRY, and the vegan option is delicious anyway. In reverse, pre-vegans aren't boycotting items ABSENT of cow's milk, chicken's eggs, honey, and anything else from an animal. Pre-vegans are who mostly buy that vegan brownie, and I doubt the majority of them even notice the LACK OF dairy, honey, and egg in it. I can't even tell a vegan pastry is vegan based on taste alone, because cow's milk and chicken's egg isn't what makes baked goods taste how they do. The plant ingredients bring them to life. If I was lied to, and told something was vegan when it wasn't, how would I know? The flavor profile isn't much different. You can't actually detect those ingredients in baked goods without a superhuman palate. What's the point of making any pastry non-vegan anymore? Animal ingredients are outdated. I also love cinnamon rolls. They are non-vegan most of the week, but on Friday and/or Saturday I can sometimes get a vegan cinnamon roll from Hardy's! Why are they not vegan all week? When desired vegan option is unavailable, vegans will leave and go elsewhere, or make it themselves. Lost business. I've gone in before for coffee and pastry when all vegan options were sold out, so I bought coffee only. If all non-vegan pastries were sold out and a pre-vegan came in for the same purpose, with their coffee they'd get a vegan pastry. No loss. By not making all pastries vegan and having default condiments for everyone be vegan, the result is lost business and waste. Aside from the ethical reasons to be vegan, I also understand that animal foods are detrimental to human health (Book: How Not To Die by Micheal Greger, MD). That cow sour cream went right down my garbage disposal. If y'all made your poppyseed muffins vegan, you wouldn't take a loss from pre-vegans who currently buy it, you'd sell more because vegans would be buying it in addition to the people that already do.

    The line was long, but it was also Benson Days, so no argument there!! The food was good for microwaved, very surprised! The coffee was phenomenal and the atmosphere was great. Can't wait to go back and watch some live performances!!

  • 5/5 Joni W. 9 months ago on Google
    We came in from out of town not really knowing what we wanted and Corinne was the most helpful and inviting person! All the coffee was amazing and she let us try some mind blowing tea. 10/10! Must visit place if you love a good coffee vibe.

  • 5/5 Douglas C. 10 months ago on Google
    The employees that we're working at the Hardy Coffee Co. We're amazingly friendly and engaging. I had a breakfast burrito and a pecan roll for lunch, along with a iced black coffee. I don't know how long I was there, because I ended up being so relaxed. I do know I did not take a nap!

  • 5/5 Nichole A. 10 months ago on Google
    Love this little coffee shop. I go here to work when I need to get out of the office. Decent prices, friendly staff, and the cutest back area. They always put up flyers about upcoming events in Benson/Omaha. It's worthwhile to stop in!

  • 5/5 Erin S. 11 months ago on Google
    Wonderful place! Their coffee is very good and I’m a very picky coffee drinker. Will be back and I get their whole bean at the drive through location.

  • 5/5 Gurl Q. 1 year ago on Google
    They know how to make a mean latte :). I ordered a Pistachio latte but the pistachio syrup alone wasnt as strong as I thought. The barista lady added white mocha sauce as a complimentary to make it a little more sweet. That was nice of her. Great atmosphere and yummy pastry. I wonder if they made their food in house or source it elsewhere. I bet their savory item tasty too but maybe try next time. I used to work as barista for Stabucks and a local coffee shop in lincoln for years, so when it comes to coffee I am very picky in the quality of drinks and the bean they carried. My top coffee places in Omaha is A hill of beans and Rally Coffee, adding Hardy to make it top 3. I tasted almost every coffee spots in town but everyone of them make water down latte. Could be the issue with their espresso bean and the roast they choose for espresso drinks. Anyway great spot to relax or just simply work. There are outlet for your laptop as well in every spot.

  • 5/5 Mrs. H. 1 year ago on Google
    Update: as friendly as ever. For the first time in over 3 years, I sat inside on a sparsely populated Saturday morning and enjoyed a latte and vegan cinnamon roll. Prices have gone up, which is understandable given the economic times. Clientele is friendly as well. Got takeout. Barist was very friendly and offered a sample. Bought coffee beans as well.

  • 5/5 Maya P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great coffee and tea shop with tasty food options. Their breakfast burritos and cinnamon rolls are my favorite.

  • 5/5 B E. 1 year ago on Google
    Drinks were fantastic, plenty of room for people to work and hang out as well! One of us had a lot of questions and they adjusted the drink to her liking!

  • 4/5 Nicole H. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite spot in Benson to grab a coffee and bite to eat! I had a cold brew and burrito (both vegan) and got to relax with a new book I got down the street. Only thing keeping this from being a 5 star review is that it was a bit crowded and hard to find a comfy spot for 1, but that it to be expected on a winter Saturday!

  • 5/5 Zach S. 1 year ago on Google
    Always a nice place to get some studying or work done! Nice and quiet so you can focus. Also, the coffee is always great. These baristas know exactly what they are doing and they do it WELL!

  • 5/5 Mya B. 1 year ago on Google
    I didn’t like the taste of my original drink, the barista was so kind about it and replaced it for me! She was so helpful. I ended up with an iced white mocha raspberry late, 100% recommend! Overall a wonderful experience, I can’t wait to visit again!!
