A Hill of Beans Coffee Roasters

They do a good job roasting coffee there. It is only roaster around here in the middle of Omaha (rest of it are in DT, south, etc). I use their coffee at home. When you visit the store, workers are nice and friendly but I feel it’s little pushy. When I was running coffee shop though, their service was not great and that was the reason I didn’t pick this roaster for my coffee shop’s beans. Hope it is improved now for the wholesale side.

This place will open your eyes to a whole new world of coffee! Seriously! I had actually never heard of it and happened to stop in the first time because I was at a shop next door and could smell the heavenly aroma of coffee beans, but I am so glad I did!
Atmosphere & Staff — The staff here is amazing! Every time I’ve been here I’ve been greeted as soon as I walk in the door. The staff are not only good at what they do but they are really nice, happy people! Today, the owner (I believe) greeted me as soon as I walked in and helped me pick out two new roasts to try. She was awesome, her passion for coffee roasting is contagious! Since I’m new to this whole process she explained how it all works and I could tell she genuinely enjoyed to talking to me about the beans! The shop is small and can get a bit crowded, but that only means their customers love them and keep coming back for a reason!
Brewed drinks — I’d had quite a few espresso drinks from here and every drink has been absolutely amazing. I remember taking my first sip of a latte from here and thinking, «Wow, this is what I’ve been missing out on!» They have a ridiculous amount of syrup flavors to add to your drink; you can even buy yourself a bottle of syrup too (for an extremely reasonable price)!
Fresh Roasted Beans — This is a new concept to me, I had always bought coffee pre-​bagged from a grocery store. You can see into the back where they roast the beans which is a really cool touch to the atmosphere! If you are a daily coffee drinker, you should be buying your coffee from here! You can taste the difference in the fresh roasted beans. I was used to grocery store coffee and now that I’ve tried fresh roasted beans I never want to have anything else!
I want to tell the world about this place! As their motto says, «Life is too short to drink bad coffee!»

Love the place. A decent spot to sit down and have a small talk with some friend. The atmosphere and vibe here is very nice. Reasonable price.

I always stop by whenever I am near! Always amazing coffee and amazing staff! The price for a large is around 4 dollars depending on what you get, so I got a large white chocolate latte and it was amazing. Bought the highland grog coffee to make at home, and I am in love with it. Awesome coffee and awesome people!

Since I don’t spend as much time in Omaha these days, I hadn’t been to A Hill of Beans for a couple months. I’m happy to report it is still the best coffee buying experience in the area! Mary (owner) recommended a seasonal blend called «A Cup of Magic 2015» and it was phenomenal! The staff, as always, is both helpful and knowledgeable. Their willingness to listen to your preferences and tailor their recommendations to those preferences is unmatched among the coffee purveyors I’ve visited both locally and nationally. You owe it to yourself to visit «The Hill», they know coffee.

I had to stop by A Hill of Beans after I found out Over Easy’s delicious Vanilla Buttercream roast is from here! As soon as you step through the door, the intoxicating aroma of coffee beans hits you. I’m pretty sure this is how coffee bean heaven would smell like. I was really surprised to find out how many various and numerous beans and unique flavors they had! (I’ll have to venture out of my comfort zone and get something besides Vanilla Buttercream one of these days. haha)
The staff was really attentive, helpful, and always friendly! I definitely plan on trying more of their roasts and finding a new favorite!

The staff here is extremely friendly and helpful. I buy local beans here, but you could also buy coffee by the cup. They have some samples in the store to try before you buy.
I left behind my debit card in the parking lot here shortly after driving away. I didn’t even realize I lost it until I received an email from a staff member here! He saved the day and I was able to retrieve my debit card within an hour or so.

So, I have never been to Omaha, but I have been ordering exclusively from A Hill of Beans and having it shipped out to DC for 3 or so odd years now. :D My boyfriend’s sister originally suggested it (living in Omaha herself) as a place that roasts beans with low acidity. It is definitely true: the coffee is the smoothest and tastiest I’ve ever had and it never bothers my stomach. Woo hoo — I can now enjoy coffee daily thanks to this place! And it is so tasty that when friends come over they always ask for a cup as a treat!
I used to order the India Monsooned Malabar, but now I get the Brazil Cerrado. Both are absolutely perfect; I just find the Cerrado a tiny bit smoother.
Even though I have never been in the store and order all the way from DC, they always write really cute notes on my order page that is included with the shipment. It just adds a bit of a home-​y feel to things! :D They also always get my order shipped within 24 hours of placing it online, EVEN on weekends. Amazing customer service!

I love buying my beans here. Great coffee! Staff is very knowledgable and have great suggestions. Pricing is very fair and reasonable. They grind to order which is very helpful for me since I use a French press @ work and do not have a grinder there. I’m now a customer for life!!!

Good stop for a cup of well brewed coffee and even better for your whole beans needs. The blends are creative, fresh and pleasant to the taste. I like the size choices (4, 8, 12 or 16 ounces) — good opportunity to try various blends or stock up on your favorites. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and a pleasant aroma in the store.

A Hill of Beans Coffee Roasters is conveniently situated in a strip mall, so parking is easy. Beware though, this isn’t a full-​service coffee shop (no food or complex coffee drinks here). A Hill of Beans Coffee Roasters roasts coffee on premises and this location serves as a retail outlet for beans and coffee brewing accessories.
The folks at A Hill of Beans Coffee Roasters are friendly, and every employee seemed to have their favorite bean (of which they have many types and roasts). If you’re looking for variety and bulk coffee, this is definitely a great spot. I can imagine institutions or businesses buying coffee from A Hill of Beans Coffee Roasters in bulk. They emphasize selection and quantity here, which makes it hard to have a delicately selected /​roasted bean suitable for craft brewing. If you’re a single-​origin coffee snob, skip A Hill of Beans Coffee Roasters.

I have always had great coffee here! I love the apricot when it comes in the spring! The owner is an awesome person too!

If you think you like coffee and haven’t been here this place will turn you into a coffee snob. :)
Expert staff, friendly, they now their stuff and haven’t steered me wrong. Even when I didn’t want to believe them and determine it for myself they were right.
They roast the coffee beans every week so none is older than that and they always seem to have a special variety. Nothing I can say can do them justice. You just have to go and enjoy for yourself.

I went in for my first time and fell in love at first smell! I had the best experience there while the roaster himself walked me around and explained their coffee selection to me. He helped me pick out some straight roasts and even made a blend for me that he recommends for the French press style I make at home and it tasted great! He even went the extra mile to help me out by writing the specific flavor notes of each coffee on the bag for me for my future reference. I wanted a coffee before I left and he recommended and made an Americano for me (which was delicious too) and my total bill out the door? Less than $ 14! I get all my freshly roasted coffee from A Hill of Beans now!

Hill of beans is really a diamond in the rough! Located where you would not necessarily go to get coffee, I didn’t even know it was there until I got a gift certificate fore the place! So, before the certificate expired, I had to go check this place out.
Inside, the store reminds me of this vintage coffee place they have at my hometown in Hawaii, so I already started to like the place. Also, they had Kona coffee burlap sacks being used as decorations so I knew I would like this place!
Finally, down to my order. We ordered an iced caramel an iced sugar free vanilla latte. In their coffee, you can taste the coffee flavor, which is always good since we are buying coffee! Their flavoring is not too over powering but you can definitely taste the flavor!
Customer service here at this store is also very good. Each time the door opens, you can hear a welcome out of the employees! There were three there at the time with many customers, so service was a little slow, but at least they were attentive to their customers!
The only reason I give a four star and not a five star is because they don’t have a drive thru. It’s only convenient to come here when we have time to get out and the baby is not asleep :)

This truly is a 5 star business. The staff is A+, so helpful with determining which bean is best for your tastes. There is nothing better than freshly roasted and ground coffee. I have also bought the white chocolate sauce that Starbucks uses in their White Chocolate Mocha to make my own.
If you are a coffee lover, you must give the Hill a try.

If I could give 6 stars, they would get it! The staff is over the top friendly and the coffee is to die for. The new Kenya is my new favorite. They also have a variety of at home brewing systems which the staff is very knowledgable about. Just an overall great fun experience every time I go… oh yah, and you can get a fresh brew to take with you too!

Fantastic selection of freshly roasted beans. The staff is friendly and more importantly knowledgeable about their product.

Only place I buy my beans in Omaha! Wonderful spot.

Super friendly service! The owner helps you pick a roast that fits your pallet. Cool place. Will definitely come back.

My wife and I have been in here a couple of times now, and we can’t say enough great things about it! The first time we came in, we had a conversation with a few folks working about roasting our own coffee, and then we bought a pound of green beans to take home and roast, along with a few other types of already roasted beans. The next time we went in, about a month or so after our first visit, they remembered us and asked about our home roasting adventures! These folks are about the friendliest people on the planet and are well versed in coffee! Can’t say enough great things about Hill of Bans. We will shop here exclusively from now on!
