There There opened Oct. 14 at 3020 Leavenworth St., Suite 1, in the former Bubbly Tart space, the Omaha World-Herald reported. The midtown business combines an all-day café, wine bar and market, with breakfast, lunch and dinner alongside drinks and European-inspired food.
The partnership brings together Katina Talley, who manages food and coffee, and Ivy Sutton, who oversees the wine and cocktail program, according to the World-Herald. The partners told the paper they wanted a place shaped by their shared interest in European culture, patio wine and meals meant for sharing.
An all-day café with a wine-bar side
There There serves breakfast and lunch and offers a dinner menu, as well as to-go food and grab-and-go drinks. The World-Herald also reported that the market carries beer, chips, candy and pantry goods, and that some items from Talley’s other bakery businesses are sold there. The mix makes the business both a place to eat and a stop for ready-to-take-home goods.
The wine focus has one documented local point of comparison, though not evidence of a citywide trend: iDLE Wine & Goods is a Little Bohemia bottle shop and bar featuring minimal-intervention, biodynamic and natural wines, along with goodies, snacks, pantry staples and pantry items.
What is known about wine service
The Nebraska State Patrol’s Alcohol/Tobacco Enforcement Division says a public place where alcohol is allowed to be consumed must be licensed, according to a liquor-license guide hosted by the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission.
Early reception and hours
Talley described the first-week response positively to the World-Herald, saying diners liked the space and were interested in a different type of food. The paper listed hours as 7 a.m. to either 9 p.m. or 11 p.m. daily except Tuesday, but did not specify which days have the earlier closing time.
