"The pastries are good, excellent texture. The pastries in the cooler display need to get warmed up 3 times to be cool. The egg sandwich is EXTRA bland. The coffee is amazing. I've gone 3 days straight, each time I got a different coffee of a different style. Each time I was extremely satisfied. The best one was made by a guy whose name i didn't catch. The staff, phenomenal. Everyone is polite, caring, patient, and informative. I'd suggest giving this place a chance if you've never been."

"A hip coffee shop in Beachwood!? What!? And it’s part of a growing chain? Can’t be. It simply cannot. I was raised in the Village of Beachwood from the age of 3 and I knew Beachwood as an exclusive Cleveland suburb that didn’t permit commercial enterprises to operate within its boundaries. Didn’t know why, but I accepted that. It changed a little as I traveled through my teens and 20s, but the types of businesses permitted eventually were small offices and a ritzy shopping mall. At age 26 I was recruited to a big advertising agency in New York—my dream! I toiled there, and eventually founded my own agency. For 50 years I’d periodically pay my parents and relatives quick weekend Cleveland visits. My trips were quick in and outs. I moved back a few weeks ago. Beachwood has blossomed, bloomed, become beautified! And my favorite bud on the blossoming Beachwood tree is a coffee house at Cedar & Richmond called the Nervous Dog. (The creative name drew me in first. There are no dogs or canine remnants on the premises.) Uniquely, it’s a no cash establishment. Bring a credit card or, as I do, use Apple Pay. The coffee concoctions, each prepared especially for you, are supreme. There are plenty light foods to choose from too, if you’re so inclined. I grab breakfast here. The toasted Asiago bagel with cream cheese is just to my liking. (I’m a creature of habit.) The atmosphere is, bougie, food and drink delish, the crowd bohemian and clean. I love it here. Starbucks might churn out java like it’s spreadsheet fuel, but this place? It brews personality by the cup. It's part café, part Council of Cool—and no, they don’t serve anything with your name half-misspelled on one side of your cup scribbled with a magic maker."

"I really want to like this quaint & locals spot for coffee. Got coffee around 8:17 am so there was a little morning rush. That said, very grumpy barista. A fellow patron & I asked about a coffee he just made & put in the bar, we each thought it could be ours. We asked the barista what he just made, he said “I don’t know read the side of the cup.” Rude, if you don’t like customers or serving coffee why are you working there? I tip based on service… wish I could’ve taken my tip back."

"I am so lucky to have this place up the road. It is a coffee shop with the feel of a cozy coffee shop if that makes sense. A shop wholly its own with patrons having good nooks to make their own. The coffees are bomb, from drip to latte to steam and iced. You can't go wrong. I wish they had coconut milk is the only thing I gripe about. Baristas are charming and themselves, I love that part. A great drink and the best environment to catch up or grind."

"The ONLY place to get coffee in Cleveland!! Rotating coffee bean flavors & several syrup flavors (with sugar free options!!) make each trip an opportunity to try something new. They have seasonal drink options that are absolutely delicious. Spring time brings the vanilla lavender latte, and in the fall the REAL pumpkin latte (made with pumpkin purée) is unreal. Nervous Dog is the place for coffee, good vibes, and delicious sandwiches too!"
