Indigo Bridge Bookstore

best bookstore in town to get your vape on at! the only reason i didn’t give this e-​cig haven a fifth star is because they don’t have any books about electronic vapes. will be back v soon

The coffee is good and the baristas are usually nice. The food selection is limited. It’s a decent place to do homework. No complaints.

Great espresso drinks, nice bright windows with a lot of tables, and a good selection of fresh baked goods. A favorite spot for me to sit, sip, and cruise the internet while visiting Lincoln.

On Saturdays they sell Cultiva coffee by the lb for $ 3 off! It gives me an excuse to stop in after I shop the farmer’s market. Their selection of books is really decent and the atmosphere is bright and cheery. Plus it’s in the deliciously smelling creamery building with lots of character.

Staff is really nice and helpful. The coffee shop is one of my favorite in town.

This is a nice little bit of local flavor, kinda like the hipster version of Barnes & Noble.
They’ve got a decent selection of newly minted books, but nothing as vast as you’d find at a larger national chain. They have their books organized appropriately and it’s easy to find what you’re looking for. I bought a copy of «World War Z» (which is freakin’ awesome, by the way) and it cost me like 15 bucks.
There’s also a coffee bar in there, though I haven’t had their brews yet. I’ve heard they’re good though.
The staff seem to be very knowledgeable and friendly.

THE best coffee shop in town. They have Cultiva coffee which is the best I’ve had in Lincoln (the coffee house is nice if I’m in the mood to swim through the crowds of hipsters and college students), it’s quiet, and clean. I could easily spend all my afternoons here.
Nebraska Food also delivers here, and if you’re an Open Harvest member, you get 10% off! Having been to 98% of the coffee shops in Lincoln, don’t miss this one.

When you walk into Indigo Bridge, it’s overwhelming to the senses. In fact, it’s almost confusing — but in a sensory overload goodness kind of way.
There are tables and bobbles to your right, a café and more tables to the front, and to the left are lots of nifty tchotchkes and further on books and games galore. The store just keeps on going. I found some curious and peculiar reads here, and the great thing is that if you nab a book, you are likely grabbing the only copy (something about that makes one feel … elite).
There’s just something cozy about this store. It’s unique, and it reflects this in the variety of books, jewelry, games, and nifty gadgets and gidgets.

Stopped here on a whim on a trip across America. We were looking for some on road entertainment, and this place was listed with something we wanted. Not ranked as a great place, no recommendations, just a bookstore with stuff. We gave it a shot, found some parking, and stepped in. I almost wanted to stop traveling.
It was an amazingly calm bookstore, might have been a slow morning, but that added to the atmosphere. I looked around at a few books, but spent more time looking at all the unique décor, and the amazing number of hidey spaces that one could sit down, read a book, converse and socialize, or just watch out the window. Sadly I couldn’t stay long.
I decided to get a latte. Not a over topped mocha hazelnut frappé shot in the face, just a nice mellow drink so that I could continue to lie to myself that I am a coffee connoisseur, and appreciate the delicacies of a fine drink. Well that’s exactly what I got, a perfectly balanced drink with amazing coffee flavor singing to my taste buds. I almost wanted to buy a gallon of the stuff for my trip to Chicago and beyond.
I’m looking forward to the next time I drive through Nebraska just so I can stop at this place.

I don’t know anybody that does not love this bookstore. You are guaranteed to find something about this store that will make you smile.
On certain days they have community lunches where they serve soup and you can enjoy some nice conversation with fellow book lovers. Free will donations are accepted to cover the cost of the soup.

Pretty, cozy and very nice people.

OMG! The employees here are SO CUTE! I love them, even the boys (I am not gay, not that that matters). Love this place!

I had no idea about Indigo Bridge until earlier this summer when the Farmer’s Market started! I don’t get downtown very often otherwise. The reviews are amazing and I’ve been looking for a good alternative to purchasing books at the big retail chains (I’m sort of boycotting BN…). Anyway, I hadn’t made it in yet but when Groupon offered an amazing deal, I snatched it up and decided to pay Indigo Bridge a visit this past weekend.
I’m so angry at myself for not going in sooner. What an amazing and cozy and AWESOME little independent bookseller! Obviously, their variety of books isn’t as large as the bigger bookstores, but they had the book I was looking for, so I didn’t mind!
The booksellers themselves were amazingly helpful. And so eager to help — which is very much welcome. I forgot to bring my printed out Groupon with me, but that didn’t matter to them! They told me I could pull it up on my iPod Touch and they’d accept it. And when I couldn’t get connected to their wifi, they went the next step with me and let me pull the Groupon up on their computer! Most places would tell you «too bad — no Groupon, no book!»
The coffee bar was pretty awesome too. They lost a star because the barista was a little spacey and didn’t really know what was going on with anything. He handed me my coffee cup and just assumed I knew what to do next (unfortunately, I didn’t and couldn’t see the coffee carafes because they were blocked). Compared to the helpfulness of the booksellers, I had expected a little bit more service from the baristas, too. The coffee, however, was excellent! Very smooth and yummy!
I’ll definitely be back!

Best independent bookstore that I’ve ever been to. Plus, I know the owners, and they are some of the sweetest people you’ll meet. Really caring, good hearted people.
This bookstore hosts an array of community events, and is dedicated to making Lincoln the best city it can be, hosting kids story telling events to artist displays to selling a local pastry chefs organic creations. The Cultiva Coffee is delicious too.
Indigo Bridge holds a special place in my heart, and even though I have left town, I frequent it whenever I come to Lincoln to visit. Support this gem!

In the age of online book shopping, the only thing that can keep a business like this alive is flair, style and service. They have all three. I usually go for the coffee though. Their baristas male every drink by hand, and it can take a very long time. The result — totally worth the wait. The latté art alone makes it worthwhile.

I agree with Charles G. on this one — my only beef with this place is it’s too far away! Granted, that’s my fault.
I was very fortunately taken to this awesome place yesterday by my boyfriend, and I can’t wait to go back. I was impressed by the selection of books, and delighted that they carry not only some Chronicle Books items [which I love], but also some more independent stationary lines.
The layout of the store is cozy and conducive with all my favorite qualities of a bookstore/​coffee shop combo… unlike the larger chains, it sports private rooms for studying, chatting… I can’t wait to go back to visit on my next trip to Lincoln. And I’m going to make sure that’s very soon.

Indigo is my new favorite bookstore in town.
The staff is very helpful and the store itself is a very, very nice place to be.
The fact they have Cultiva coffee and a nice little café in the front just ads to the amount of time I’ll have to spend there.
Only problem is you’ll have to deal with the normal haymarket stuff, parking and such, to get to Indigo.

Absolutely awesome independent bookstore, one of the best I’ve ever been to, and the Creamery location just adds to its level of coolness. Not huge, but tons of books of the type I like to read (and browse). I can’t stand Barnes ‘n Noble or Amazon, I like little bookstores with attitude like this.
There used to be a bookstore or two like this in all major cities, now forget it – but this is a gem in li’l olé Lincoln.

Excellent bookstore– great ambiance, tasteful and laid-​back atmosphere, and respectable book selection. They even have a little reading/​play area for kids, strategically placed an ample distance from the coffee bar/​grown-​up reading areas.
What impressed me most, however, was the aforementioned coffee bar. They serve Cultiva coffee (see my rave about them for further information), and their great taste in suppliers trickles down into the cup. I found the baristas – and all of the staff, for that matter– to be friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. My only regret is their location, as I live in Omaha.

The Indigo Bridge Bookstore is brand-​spanking new, and has officially become one of my favorite places in Lincoln. The ambiance is totally relaxing, mixing a combination of industrial design together with honoring the building’s historical detail, and adding in custom art pieces (like the life-​size tree) to flesh-​out the space.
They have a great kid-​friendly store, complete with a bi-​lingual story hour on Saturday mornings. They have also provided an awesome venue for Cultiva coffee in the new Indigo Café, so you can get top-​notch espresso while your kids enjoy educational entertainment.
All in all, Indigo is a fabulous addition to the Haymarket collection of shops and is a great opportunity to support two local visionary entrepreneurs!
