Nervous Nellie's Espresso Co
Get out the way mac-n-cheese, toast is my ultimate comfort food. When I saw Ballard had a toast bar, I was thrilled. Nervous Nellie's is in a retail-free block off the main strip so it took me awhile to actually stumble across it, and from the number of customers I've seen not too many other Ballardites know about it either. Or maybe it's because Nellie's is outrageously friggin' expensive. One slab of toasted buttered bread runs $2.75. I understand that it's Great Harvest bread but c'mon I can buy a whole loaf at the store for $1.99. It was pretty good but at those prices I could end up in the streets from indulging my toast habit a little too often. Nellie's also offers other toast toppings like and assortment of jams, cinnamon sugar, cheese, Nutella, and creamed fish roe in a tube. Yeah, it's a Scandinavian thing. This is Ballard after all. Sorry Nervous Nellie's I'll only be coming here for special occasions or emergencies, like when they finally cancel America's Next Top Model.
