I sooo wanted to give this place a better rating! I absolutely love good coffee and I love a place that I can share my coffee with that has a good feel~vibe to it. I've been to the Next Coffee Co. on at least five different occasions now and keep hoping they will figure out they are a coffee shop that offers a wonderful place for peeps to meet, surf the web if needed and enjoy an occasional entertainer ever so often. It leave this place saying, "where's the coffee"?
What's keeping them from that 4 or 5 star status for me:
~ they make coffee the side dish and make their "buffet" their main attraction? I don't get this... It's cool to offer breakfast or even dinner if your a restaurant, but your a coffee place! "where's the coffee"?
~ they offer pastries, snacks and sandwiches, which is OK but when you walk in to order your coffee you have to peek through a mound of biscuits, pastries and even dog cookies that have oozed every where on top of the counter because they have soooo much of it to sell. "where's the coffee"?
~ when you order one of their delicious looking sandwiches from the "counter to pastries and dog cookies" you will find out that it is actually made somewhere else and cold so they reheat it in a microwave-oven thingy ma bob. Taste = not delicious but rather like a reheated left over. "where's the coffee?"
It's only because this place has some fantastic peeps working there and it is a very good place to hook up with friends I will return to ask my question again, "where the coffee"?
