345 Riverfront Dr, Omaha, NE 68102 (Downtown)
Flagship Commons
If noise doesn’t bother you, put this one on your list. It’s in a mall, so expect a certain level of commotion. But there are plenty of tables to choose from.

1231 S 14th St, Omaha, NE 68108 (Little Bohemia)
Omaha Public Library*
This is an underrated option, in our opinion. It’s free. It’s quiet. With multiple branches spread throughout town, there’s bound to be an OPL library branch near you, so you don’t have to travel far. And with a library card, you can even reserve a private room so you can get focused work done. You’ll also find Do Space inside one of the branches, in case you need to check out their tech or use specialized software.

1001 Douglas St, Omaha, NE 68102 (Old Market)
Smash Park
If you’re not easily distracted by the hubbub of an entertainment center, this would be a fun spot to work in their indoor or outdoor seating areas. Anyone up for a ping pong study break?
