I enjoy going to coffee shops to do some reading or studying so I find myself at Next pretty often. But I am not sure why.
Just walking in you see a very large coffee shop, not overly large but compared to any of the chains. My recent visits I have been immediately greeted by a friendly staff member who gives me some suggestions on what I should get. I love trying something new and different from previous visits so I usually listen to what she says. You can get any of the coffees hot, blended, or iced. I think I have tried all their specialty coffees at least once. They are all pretty good but it seems as if some of them should only be served hot and serving them iced or blended takes a lot away from the drink.
They also have a variety of sandwiches and warps. Most of them are decent but nothing outstanding. They also have some fruit and salads which I only had once. A fruit and cheese plate was recommended and I went with it. Before I opened it I noticed the fruit looking pretty bad and as soon as I opened it I saw that the strawberry had indeed gone bad. Bringing the fact up to a staff member, she quickly gave me a different one but it wasn't much better.
I will admit that in all my trips here I have never had the house coffee so I really can't say how it is. But of the specialty coffee is any indication then its probably decent.
Its a pretty nice place. But I can get what I am looking for, coffee and a place to study, at any chain coffee shop, and I may be able to save some money.
