Ever since America lost custody of tea in its messy divorce with England, we've had to find new liquid sources of caffeine and new neighborhood taxmen. Say no to taxation without caffeination with today's deal: for $5, you get $10 worth of coffee, sandwiches, pastries, and more at Nervous Dog Coffee Bar & Roaster in Akron and Stow.

Named Akron’s Best Coffee Shop by CityVoters, Nervous Dog percolates palates with locally roasted beans, soothing smells, and a small menu irrigated with pastries and tasty sandwiches (sandwiches coming soon—will be available at Stow location only). To prepare for a busy workday filled with consolidating files with a flaming broadsword, grab a small coffee ($1.75), or opt for a more complex tongue massaging with a small latte ($2.95), cappuccino ($2.95), or mocha ($3.55). The various tasty pastries are baked daily, ensuring they’re fresher than a cryogenically frozen bouquet of daisies ($2.35 each, on average). Customers on the run and method actors doing research for a Boo Radley portrayal can stock up on invigorating coffee with a one-pound bag of beans ($12.85).

Stop in to Nervous Dog Coffee’s inviting confines to sip on sips and chit with chats using the free WiFi. The charming, pub-like setup invites patrons to throw annoyingly buzzing cell phones against a sturdy construction worker and soak in the good vibes of coffee and relaxation.
