Nervous Dog Coffee Bar

Great coffee shop! Things I love about Nervous Dog: friendly, knowledgeable staff, great coffee, fun lattes and seasonal drinks when I'm feeling up for something sweet, fun atmosphere. Zero coffee snobbery, just friendly customer service! If you order on the app, they will bring your order out curbside! It makes it much easier for me to do a coffee run with a toddler in the car. I love that the owner has taken safety seriously during this pandemic. I love the ease of using an app rather than cash too! I like the vibe of the inside space a lot, of course I wish there were more seating, but it works for me as I'm usually just stopping by.

Once regarded as one of Akron's top coffee spots, this Nervous Dog location is a tragic victim of the COVID-19 pandemic. What was once a clean and calming environment is now dark, dirty, and unkempt. Floors look like they haven't been swept or mopped for weeks. The establishment gives off a musty, almost mildew-like smell that's impossible to ignore. And while I usually like the coffee at other Nervous Dog locations, the drink I received today was all water, no caffeine. I have faith that this place will return to its former glory again. Until then, opt for the Fairlawn location.
