Meet me at the Hub Café in Lincoln! 

Bike on up to this one of a kind restaurant, located at the scenic Jayne Snyder Trail Center in Lincoln, Nebraska.  Hub Café serves the freshest breakfast & lunch in Lincoln with unique dishes made from local eggs, meat, dairy, and produce.

Hub Café first started offering good eats to the Lincoln Community in January of 2016. Owned and operated by Branched Oak Farm, this restaurant has a strong commitment to sourcing local for their menu.  With a great location (walkable, bikeable, & car parking!), Hub Café is an easy choice for your weekend brunch or morning coffee break.  It will please both the eater looking for the simple (eggs, sausage, and potatoes) and those wanting a breakfast with all the WORKS (think goat cheese, chorizo, and kale like in the Hub Skillet).

Connecting Urban and Rural Communities

"Sourcing from the farmers in our local food community allows us to serve the freshest, best tasting produce, dairy products, and meat to inspire creative dishes."

Growing up in Nebraska, many are accustomed to the agricultural landscapes of beans, corn, and wheat, but few think about where their produce comes from and how it gets to the plate. By sourcing local ingredients, Hub Cafe is bridging the connection between urban eaters and rural producers, an often missing link in our industrialized food system.  Hub Cafe showcases local food and provides an important sales outlet for farms in the area.

Hub Cafe offers:

  • Finely brewed coffee
  • Locally-inspired breakfast & lunch options
  • Local brews, wines, and cocktails
  • Event rentals
