Nerd Be Cool

Nerd Be Cool is a science-themed espresso bar on Court Street with a giant Einstein mural on the wall and a playful approach to specialty coffee. The menu runs through salted caramel lattes, cold brews, and straight espresso alongside pastries that include gluten-free and vegan options — a thoughtful touch that reflects the neighborhood's evolving demographics. The space is small and intimate, with a few tables and a counter where the espresso machine gets the spotlight. It is the kind of shop that adds genuine personality to a stretch of Court Street otherwise dominated by established Italian-American businesses. A distinctive neighborhood character that does not take itself too seriously while still delivering on the coffee.
