NXT Coffee is such a great addition to Manchester! The service is always incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the drinks are consistently delicious. It’s one of those places that immediately feels comfortable whether you’re stopping in to catch up with friends or meeting someone for a professional meeting. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it easy to settle in and stay awhile. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great local coffee spot with amazing drinks and genuinely kind service.
LOVE THIS PLACE! Service could not be better! The soup, other food and dessert were delicious. The coffee and espresso beverages were outstanding... as good as could be, spot on. The atmosphere is cool, comfy and at times vibrant. Sometimes it's quiet and a great place to get some work done other times it's hoppin' and a great spot to get in on a conversation. The vibe changes but the quality of espresso, coffe and food does not! Primo.
NXT is short for "Next cup of coffee ☕". Well, I am not that quick on the uptake, "Iceberg ! Right ahead!" "Huh? What?", that is for sure. I like the name 📛. They have pour overs!! Columbian or Ethiopian coffee ☕! They are reasonably priced!!! There Columbian Pour Over is a taste of Heaven on Earth 🌎🌍! The chocolate croissant 🥐 was good 😊 though it tasted very familiar. The PBB Toast with sliced almonds was good 👍! Very, very friendly service! The owner and her staff were great 👍 👍! I enjoyed talking to them and we had a chance for a great conversation! I like their selection of books 📚 to read. The bathroom was in good shape. I don't remember if they have a grab bar. Window 🪟 🪑 seating was enjoyable. 🎨 Artwork , ceramics and photography for sale. Update: August -December 2025; Cinnamon rolls were okay but the chocolate croissants rule! The Lox was a tasty breakfast. The Cinnamon Chip Scone was good 👍! Door Dash available. A must visit and I will visit again and again again!
If you want to feel rushed (or are in one), go to Dunkins. NXT is for community, friendly service, and the cool cups! Had a great experience there and loved the seasonal drink menu too.
What do you want at a coffee shop? Great coffee! I had an almond latte that was great! It was strong, but creamy, and the foam lasted all the way to the bottom of my cup. It was the best cup of coffee I've had in a very long time! I understand from the owner/barista that she's been open about 6 months (as of Sept '25). I don't live in the area, but those of you who do should visit often and keep her in business!
