Nervous Dog Coffee Bar

Akron & Stow

Chad W. Lutz

My first experiences at the Nervous Dog take me back to my college days. While it’s hard for me to admit that in May it will be 5 years since I walked across the stage to accept my degree, it’s now here in Times New Roman for the entire world to read, enjoy. I used to see a doctor out in the West Akron area and would frequently drive past the coffee shop on my way to appointments. After awhile, I decided to stop in and grab a cup of coffee, if only for the experience.

Pacific East Japanese Restaurant

Cleveland Heights

Matt MacDonald

Decorating aside, the sushi they serve is amazing! And it was also affordable! For two adults our bill came to about $25.00, and I didn't want to eat anything for the rest of the night for fear of ruining the taste in my mouth.
