Omaha Public Library has chosen Zen Coffee Company as its official café partner at the future Central Library, set to open next spring on the southwest corner of 72nd & Dodge Street.
The café will be located on the east side of the library’s first floor near the indoor playscape and public commons, with a view of the City Garden. Zen at Central Library will offer much of the same experience customers have come to know and love from their other Omaha locations, with a menu that reflects their signature offerings and hospitality.
“We want people to feel like they can stay a while,” said Abby McLeay, co-founder of Zen Coffee Company. “Whether you’re grabbing a coffee before a book club, sitting in on a workshop, or meeting a friend after a storytime, Zen is here to be part of your day.”
A café was one of the most frequently requested amenities in a 2022 community survey about the future Central Library. Zen Coffee Company joins a slate of partners from browsable book stacks on every floor to artist installations, vibrant programming and innovative technologies, including the integration of Do Space.
