Culprit Café Opening Second Location

Culprit Café (www.culpritcafe.com), Omaha’s highly-reviewed hotspot for brunch, coffee and dessert, is doubling its local presence with the opening of a second location in Midtown Crossing.

Rooted in bread, coffee and community, Culprit Café is expected to open its midtown store in June. Similar to the original downtown location, guests can expect a tantalizing breakfast and lunch menu; a selection of artisan breads (hand-rolled and baked in-house); fresh, in-house pastries; and a variety of desserts, including a daily rotation of seasonal tarts, tiramisu, cheesecakes, and dietary-restrictive options as well. Culprit Café serves certified-organic coffee from Broadway Roasting Co. in Kansas City, Mo., and tea from local maker The Tea Smith. All syrups are made in-house.

Owner Luke Mabie says opening a location in midtown made sense: “There’s a great energy in midtown. We wanted to contribute and be part of that community. Plus, this puts us even closer to our customers coming from places like Creighton and UNMC. We’re right at home in downtown Omaha, and we’re going to be right at home in midtown. This is an exciting next step for us.”

Culprit Café will be located 3201 Farnam St., in the space formerly leased by Delicé European Bakery and Café. For more information, visit www.culpritcafe.com.
