I come here a lot when I’m in the area and it’s seriously so good! I usually do curbside and get a breve milano (espresso, mocha, and half/half) with a breakfast bagel! The egg, cheese, and bacon one is bomb on an everything bagel! The bagel is delicious and the sandwich actually tastes fresh! Definitely recommend if you want a good tasting sandwich, try it with cream cheese added!

Coffee was not bad, but was expecting a higher quality espresso flavor. I asked for the drink with least milk in it and was told was cortado with 6oz of milk and 2oz of espresso. We worked it out but didn’t feel like a coffee place for espresso (non-syrup) based drinks.

We were heading to airport and wanted a decent breakfast and cup of coffee. Nervous dog had a drive through but clearly made our breakfast sandwiches to order. Bacon egg and cheese and sausage egg and cheese both on bagels with coffee. Everything was delicious and certainly beats a large national chain type breakfast.

I virtually never criticize food establishments because I know its such a hard business. However, as a coffee house, you have only one thing to worry about and that is to make great coffee drinks. I ordered a large latte and it was lousy. I think the beans used are low quality and not roasted properly. Disappointing when you want a great coffee drink.

Had to throw away the iced coffee they gave me, tasted like watered down black coffee. I asked for the cinnamon flavor. Went to get one from McDonald’s instead.

Its a cute little place with a lot of choices! I am amazed with all of the various options for drinks AND theres Nitro! However, I am not as impressed by the ingredients. The espresso itself is fine, but the oat milk is not very frothy (and yes, I know that good oat milk produces the best foam).

Service is fast polite and friendly. Coffee is top notch. You can purchase coffee beans to go of your favorite flavors. I didnt order food, but the menu sounded tasty. Both meat lover and vegetarians alike...Check it out sometime 👍👍

Breakfast sandwiches were tasty and blended drinks were very good. Drive thru took a little while but it seemed about even with the wait time for a busy Starbucks Drive Thru.

Great little coffee joint, just off the highway on the way in/out of Stow, with lots of coffee options to choose from. Spacious and roomy on the inside, plus a nice patio at the back if you prefer fresh air. Tons of parking space right outside. Love the decor on the inside - theres even a section with books and board games!

Awesome place. Great coffee and food. I recommend the nutty Irish latte... and Im not a latte person

Review №14

The baristas were very nice and patient with my indecisiveness. The espresso is delicious and gave me motivation and energy so strong I thought they put stimulants in the coffee (this is a compliment! I do not actually think there are any drugs in the drinks lol). Overall very nice people and place.

The type of coffee place from the 90s that I miss. Good sandwich and great coffee. Artwork, aesthetic, and music are spot on.

We stumbled upon this place 2 weeks ago and have come back and is now our Sunday spot! If I could give it 6 stars I would! Staff is fantastic and polite. Somehow serve a perfect cup of coffee everytime. Flavor temperature everything is just perfect! Love this place! Don’t think I’ll ever go to Starbucks again!

Review №18

I had been here a few times over the years and it was always good. Then they had to close during the height of the pandemic, and I was bummed. When I found they had reopened I started going regularly. I even hooked my coworkers on their drinks and now they all go there too!! The staff has never been less than wonderful, whether I go inside with my daughter, or drive thru. Every drink Ive tried has been so delicious. One guy I work with even said he will never go to the chain coffee shop again!!

Great coffee spot! They have a huge selection of drink options & coffee beans that you can take home! I’ve stopped by many times do to school work, or to enjoy coffee with a friend. If you need a place to study I definitely recommend, but don’t forget headphones because it can get a little noisy. Also be sure to try their scones, they are delicious!

Compared to chain coffee shops this has superior roasts with unique and delicious syrups. We go out of our way to go there whenever we can. And baristas are friendly and appear to enjoy working there.

Review №26

I came here years ago to check out the other location of my favorite wrong kinda bar, and to be honest it felt a bit sterile and too open and not cozy enough to be a nervous dog. Well... Years later, I come back and the ol dogs got it now where it matters! I might actually be back here a lot sooner than later, this time! By the way, loved the portal-themed and Dr. Who signs. I saw what you guys did there-priceless!

Service is extremely slow and I only ordered two drinks one of them being an Italian soda. Instead of focusing on other customers finish the one who already ordered first.

This place should be nervous about the review. I waited 25 minutes for a sandwich and everyone in drive thru was served first. Employees seemed to take their job way too casually.

This is a super coffee bar. I stopped in a couple times and the baristas are awesome. It doesnt matter how busy they are they always make you feel like you are the most important customer.I think her name was Sam and when I was sure what Iwanted she made some swesome recommendations to try. I cant wait to stop back and try some of the other drinks she recommended!

There is absolutely zero reason why you cannot use cash at this location. The food and drinks are good and so is cash. You lost a customer because you refused to take cash when I do not have a credit card. Why is that so difficult to pay cash? Ridiculous! You could have made an easy $10.

I met my wife at this place so I may be biased. She was a barista there and I shamelessly used to oogle her. I guess it worked though :) Great coffee, good atmosphere. Good place to do homework or get together with friends. Not super busy.

Pretty nice place. Good food. They have really good pastries, tasty sandwiches, salads, and some vegan options like vegan cookies. A decent amount of seating with some board games. They have Wi-Fi. I like their lattes and London fogs a lot. The baristas are usually really friendly. Good amount of parking. They have a drive thru. A unisex bathroom. Outdoor seating when the weather is nice. Music. Sometimes live music or events. Im a regular because its so laid back and good quality. I recommend it.

The coffee is great but the morning drive thru service during the week takes forever. A line of 4 people took 14 mins which makes it impossible to chance stopping before work again.

Review №53

There is a drivethrough here.The Nervous Dog is my favorite coffee shop, be it here in Stow or elsewhere. The employees are kind, the coffee is amazing, and theres no beating the atmosphere.Due to Covid, staff tends to be a little low so expect a little waiting if there are lots of orders. (The food and coffee is soooo worth it!)

I was in the area and stumbled upon this little gem and what attracted me to this place was just the name, my wife and I walk in and it was our first time here the staff was very helpful in picking out what it was we wanted to drink based on our tastes they were also very patient in our decision we will definitely be back to revisit thank staff

Great local coffee place, such a nice change from boring Starbucks. My only complaint is that there isnt one closer to my house. Love that they actually have a good selection of good coffees they will brew to order, not just frappuccinos and lattes along with some sad coffee in a thermos pitcher, is rare these days

Review №79

I love coming here in the mornings before work! Their sandwiches are really good and well made, and I love the atmosphere. I do really dislike the whole drive thru function, so I try to avoid it and use the curbside pick up when I can. Everyone is really friendly and positive, except for a few baristas I’ve interacted with. Today at the drive thru I guess I wasn’t talking clear enough (big reason why I hate it lol) and as you know, when that happens you’re not inherently aware that it’s happening. I feel like whoever was taking my order was really cold about asking me to repeat myself several times. We got to the window and they re-clarified what we wanted (not the same barista that took my order, this one is the one I always have pleasant interactions with) but they still got my sandwich wrong, which was literally the first thing I ordered. So I dunno. Think I’m just gonna stick to curbside pick up and hope whoever brings it to me is in a good enough mood to provide good customer service.

I’ve been a Starbucks man for years but you can taste the difference in quality of coffee, especially in the espresso. Sandwich’s are also top notch.

Review №83

Very nice place. The tea and coffee are both top notch! They have good food options and a nice area to relax. Its usually not crowded so youll be able to grab a nice spot. I recommend one of their teas or the nitro cold brew! For food, I would recommend the Jive-Turkey sandwich. The location is semi-hidden so, keep your eye out. This is a must try if you are a coffee person. Highly recommended! (4.5 star)...

I can’t think of any reason not to visit Nervous Dog when you’re in the area. I’m happy to see they opened a new location in Fairlawn too! Great coffee selection and comfortable atmosphere to hangout alone or with a small group. I haven’t had a bad bakery item either. The outdoor seating area is fine but nothing amazing. Personally, I use the drive through the most and they have always been surprisingly efficient for such a high quality coffeehouse.

Review №93

Markets itself as a third wave coffee shop, which should have much better quality then Starbucks. Ordered a regular house blend and got served lukewarm, watered-down coffee out of a thermos. I would expect places like this should, at least, do pour-overs.Michael, thanks for the reply. I would double-check on your Stow location because I was not offered any options or parameters or anything when I ordered a regular coffee. I watched them pour it from a thermos of pre-made coffee.

I hate giving bad reviews however, I will have to suggest some improvement. The atmosphere is great, but the drinks leave a lot to desire. I watched the barista make our coffee and my kids hot chocolate and it was cold when they handed it to us. Not sure how that happened. It has a lot of potential. Keep improving and you guys could be awesome. Unfortunately you are just not there yet.
