COMMUNITY IN COFFEEZen Coffee Company is a Family Owned, Green Certified Specialty Coffee Company that originated in Omaha, NE. Our Flagship location in Downtown Omaha/ Farnam Hill opened in 2017. Following the pandemic, we expanded to West Omaha Tiffany Plaza (2021) in order to reach our "work from home" customers. Our first drive thru location opened in One Pacific Place in late 2022. In Summer 2024, we expanded into Downtown Lincoln, NE with our largest location.
We at Zen enjoy creating a unique place that customers can experience, while also providing many drink options so that everyone is included! a portion of our profits goes directly back to our community in need. We strive to bring the community together by sharing the love of high quality coffee beans and delicious espresso beverages, in a warm and welcoming environment. |

THE People Behind ZenAbby and Ryan McLeay were born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska and love to support their roots and community, while also continuing to research and introduce new products and methods to the Midwest area.
After a decade in the corporate coffee world, Abby went on a mission to create a stronger Community in Coffee with a hard focus on sustainability and Ryan, using his business and construction background, teamed up to build a Zen space with a Green focus in mind. Little did they know how the Business-and their family would grow over the past 7 years in business! It has been a wild ride but filled with so much gratitude for the Zen community and the extensive support! Abby and Ryan continue to instill SCA training and values into Zen's standards and daily practices, while continuing to encourage and support their teams in expanding their coffee education. In 2020, they developed a coffee and pastry program for the store and went into building a fully sustainable and versatile kitchen within the space. They continue to lead and develop Zen's training program which helps shops all around the city of Omaha, while also overseeing all bakery operations and community events. |
ABOUT OUR COFFEEOur coffee is roasted by Dapper & Wise. The roastery originated from Insomnia Coffee Company-located in Hillsboro,OR. Our roasters take great care in selecting quality sourced beans while working with farmers to perfect each bean so that each cup is equally as exquisite as the last!
We choose to do Coffee differently by partnering with and serving the best roasted coffee in the most ethical way. By sharing these same values, love for community and interest towards a balanced, sustainable vision in our coffee industry, Zen has successfully been able to bring delicious, responsibly sourced coffee to the Midwest; while offering our community elaborate coffee education, opportunities to meet it's producers and an ability to learn in a non pretentious and welcoming specialty coffee atmosphere. |
