The Café Nervosa
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
Hi there, café latte anyone, or just some pleasant chat, come and have a seat at the Café Nervosa.
Of course the Café Nervosa is from Frasier, set in Seattle, the fabulous American sitcom sprung right form Cheers, the other American sitcom staring Kelsey Grammer. Frasier is screened (in England) every Friday at 10:00 on channel 4, THOUGH THE CURRENT SEASON 7 HAS JUST ENDED, if you missed it (d’oh) tell us below and we’ll fill you in. While in America it is every Thursday at 9 on NBC.
In nearly every episode some of the cast are in there, ordering café lattes or double espressos, discussing their lives or hiding from various partners. One whole episode was set in the Café with no other sets, it was brilliant which just goes to show what a fantastic script and cast they have.
The star of the show, Frasier is classed as snobbish, arrogant and pretentious but his heart is in the right place as he helps his friends out of their rather sticky situations. Frasier is the star of KACL’s talk show ‘The Frasier Crane Show’ where he gives his advice, as a psychiatrist, on the problems of his listeners.
Frasier’s younger brother, Niles is also a psychiatrist and is jealous of Frasier’s fame from his radio show (though hides it as a disgust of ‘popularising psychiatry’). Niles is prissy and obsessive, like always dusting a seat before sitting, and is married to Maris. We never see Maris but gradually build up a picture of her from their comments, such as the way things turn to ice as she moves into a room! Niles also fancies Daphne, though unknown to her but known to almost everyone else!
Father of Frasier and Niles though completely different in personality, he is a retired cop (after receiving a shot during a steak out) and moved in to live with Frasier in the Elliot Bay Towers as an act of a good son. Martin likes beer, poker, sport and TV, lots of TV. This opposition of tastes of course courses friction between them and is something Frasier often tries to heal.
The live-in home therapist of Martin, Daphne is from Manchester with a rather complex family back home, single sister of 9 brothers and a mother with mysterious mood swings. Daphne quickly becomes one of the only things holding the Crane household together (becoming painfully clear in season 7) doing cooking, cleaning, calming, and ‘Oh get the door would you Daphne?’ Niles is in love with Daphne and has been since he first lay eyes on her, and it is only in the last season that she find’s out.
The series producer for Frasier’s show, Roz is always on the lookout for men, and aroung series 6 has a baby girl. Something weird always seems to exist between Niles and Roz, Niles never seems to remember who she is. Roz seems to be normal and sane, though she works with Fraser every day so who can tell?
Eddie is Martins dog and lives in Frasier’s apartment, much to the dislike of Frasier and many long staring matches take place between the two. He is brilliant, always adding comedy to a moment or breaking the tension and always knows when to eat Daphne’s horrors of the kitchen!
Anyway, on to business, you are welcome to come in, hang your coats on the hanger by the door, take a seat and order from the menu. There’s the lovely 'window seat' near the entrance, or the 'round table in the centre'. Then there’s the 'table by the counter' or up on the 'platform at the back'. You’re all welcome to take a seat and discuss whatever you like over a cup of coffee.
The Menu
Have a look at the menue, make you selection, make your way to one of the tables and order. I'll bring your drinks over staight away.
All drinks are available in Tall, Large and Grande.
Remember were allways open and allways lisening.
| Drink | What's in it? |
|---|---|
| Espresso | This is a strong flaversome black coffee, brewed quickly and precisly. Though small this will satisfy. Available as a double. |
| Latte | This is an espresso with added the same amount of steamed milk and some foamy milk on top. and a dash of cinamon |
| Moca | Again espresso is the dase but with the same amount of chocolate and some milk. It sounds slightly odd but shure is a great drink. |
| Cappachino | A horrible spelling accompanies this version of espresso with throfy milk on top. This is a strong cup and is only small. |
| Nick's Special | A very weak coffee with plenty of milk. A simple mild coffee bean filtered gently with little fuss. This won't keep you awake all night but still has a delecate coffee taste. |
| House Special | A double espresso, half fat milk, a dash of cinamon and a small light biscuit on the side. For those on the go. |
| The World of Coffee | A taste trip around th globe, with coffee beans from each continent ground corsly and filtered. Each unique flavour is brought out to it's fullest. An 'up all nighter'. |
| The Natural Cup | This is a simple cup of coffee brewed from a Carribean bean, breweing involves the ground beans and water put straight in the cup. The flavour changes gradually through the cup. Watch out for the end! |
