Nervous Nellie's Espresso Co.

Nervous Nellie’s Coffee & Toast is CASH OR CHECK ONLY. As someone who doesn’t regularly carry cash nor regularly write checks for a two-dollar piece of toast, I make sure to always have a few bucks in my pocket when I head there on Saturday mornings.

I also recommend trying the Swedish Toast, which sounds bizarre, but is a delightful savory treat with your mocha.

Also also, wear layers—the upstairs seating area gets VERY warm.

I’ve become really picky about my coffee (double tall latté with rice milk, thank you very much) and it’s gotten so that if Nervous Nellie’s is closed, my day is ruined. They brew up the best coffee in the city, easily, maybe in the universe. Plus, they offer munchies in the form of toast with many many toppings- real butter, cheese, jam, peppers, garlic butter, peanut butter, etc… lunch, coffee, and the good feeling of supporting a small local business, all for less than $7!
