Zen Coffee Company. Good Vibes. Amazing Community.


Zen Coffee Company has finally made its way to Lincoln! 

BY MAIA MERRITT & TESSA WISER

Zen Coffee Company opened it’s doors on August 3, 2024. 

This family-owned business prides itself on its connections, whether that be through a friendly environment or giving a portion of its profits right back to the community. Supporting local non-profits has been at the heart of this company’s mission for the past seven years.

Nebraska-natives Abby and Ryan McLeay used their talents to create a business that represents their values, which they instill into Zen Coffee’s daily practices.

When getting into the coffee shop business, the McLeays’ had a few goals from the start: create a green business, support their community, and create a space for their employees to thrive. 

This is the first Zen Coffee Company location in Lincoln and the fourth location in total; the other three reside in Omaha. 

Located on 13th and O street, between Brothers Bar & Grill and O’Rourkes Tavern, Zen Coffee has already started making an impact in Downtown Lincoln. 

Zen Coffee Company is open weekdays from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and weekends from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. 

Stop by and try their famous flights, where you can pick and choose any four drinks!
