WOW!
Nervous Dog numero two-oh is quite possibly better than the one in my backyard!
I stopped here on my way to taking my GRE for a quick caffeine drip and was blown away by what was offered. Boar's Head meat in the most absolutely beautiful sandwiches I have ever seen. Spacious, warm environment and a staff which catered to me like I was some sort of dignitary. Pleasant, low, non-intrusive music being the only real "noise" to the place, and yet somehow, the place had plenty of people.
THESE THINGS DON'T EXIST IN COFFEE SHOPS!
I mean, what the hell? I stood at the counter, staring at the menu, baffled. The barrista was so helpful and managed to take take-out orders at the same time. I ordered a club sandwich on french bread and a red-eye. What I got was my favorite Nervous Dog coffee(already ranked 5-stars) with a sandwich(and cajun chips!) that filled an entire plate and dared me to finish it. I ALWAYS finish my food. Even if I hate it. But this...it was so much sandwich. Dear god.
If it sound like I'm glowing, keep in mind I'm writing this a week after eating here. It's made that much of an impression on me.
I will go back. I will bring my friends. I will set up a tent in the parking lot and live there.
If you don't try this place, you are cheating yourself from a truly unique coffeehouse experience.
