Top coffee shops in Lincoln

1. The Mill

1. The Mill, 800 P St. -- The Mill brews locally roasted coffees. The atmosphere is always lively, with the dock on west side of the building perfect for people watching and socializing.

Journal Star file photo

2. Cultiva

2. Cultiva, 3535 Holdrege St. -- The crepes here are to die for, and because the shop uses a turntable for its background music, its record collection is something to behold (and hear).
