Owners of Bad Seed Coffee say streetcar construction is partially to blame for closure

Omaha-based Bad Seed Coffee & Supply announced the closure of its operations, including its original Harney Street location and a newer Dundee storefront. Owners Matt and Brenna McCrary cited the impact of local streetcar construction, the financial burden of the second location, and a desire to prioritize family time as primary reasons for the shutdown.

Research disclosure — this profile was compiled from public online sources on 2026-10-27. This company overview is not a tasting review. Original tasting reviews are labeled separately when they exist. Ownership, roasting and sourcing details are attributed to documented sources. While the brand was widely recognized for its direct-trade and single-origin program, I could not verify a specific list of current or historical farm partners or sourcing regions on their public-facing digital presence.
