About Nervous Dog

Our Story

Nervous Dog Coffee Bar opened its doors in September of 2006. Since our inception, Nervous Dog was different. Not just the same old chain in a different package, but truly set apart from the others. More than just an atmosphere to work, unwind or check out music and live events. More than the wide array of drinks hand-crafted by any of our expert baristas, using the finest coffees from local roasters and small growers, or the best locally baked pastries and freshly-sliced deli items.

Yes, it’s much more than that. So much that you voted us Best Of every year since we were just a pup. It’s truly a place where you can: Come, Sit, Stay.

We do not aspire to compete with the corporate giants – we are quite content to let them duke it out with the other high margin, fast food chains. We can coexist in peace :) We regard other independent shops as colleagues, not competitors – we all celebrate involvement in local schools, charities, businesses – our town, our community, our priority.

Our beans are custom-roasted twice per week… these have not aged while shipping from the West Coast. Freshest, ever.  Come into our shop and drink the freshest, smoothest cup of coffee since some crazy goat discovered it way back when, or take home a pound of beans – our selection is AMAZING, and we continually seek out the best of the best. We use the highest quality ingredients – Ghirardelli chocolate, Torani syrups, and organically grown and processed beans from the highest quality small plantations all over the world. We buy our baked goods from local, family-owned bakeries. And we’re commited to building relationships with everyone around us; a TON of educational, charitable, environmental, IMPORTANT local organizations, and other independently-owned businesses – we live here, too.

We’re part of your community.  And we’d love to know you better!
