10 Best Cafes in Akron

“Really yummy food and coffee! We struggled to find the new location but it's under the parking garage! On the same level as the lock 3 stage! I would recommend the papaya salad and banh mi, there was only one table when we went but I would love to watch them grow“

“I ordered the Sweet Potato & Black Bean burrito for something a little different and meatless. It exceeded my expectations. I let my daughter try some of mine (she’s not a big fan of kale) and she didn’t want to give it back. It’s that good. The staff is awesome. Please don’t stop what you’re doing.“

“Clean friendly delicious food great service personable cook and staff“

“The coffee is delicious. service is lovely and food is amazing“

“The worst thing was the music speaker was right over the couch and loud. We sat up front. The coffee was t really good. The chocolate babka is wonderful. We got lucky to meet a little friend who gifted us with a craft she was making. It was a pretty magical experience.

Unfortunately its not easy to get to from where we live. We don't get to go often. It's always a treat when we do.“

“On December 29, 2025, I enjoyed breakfast at First Watch on W. Market St. in Fairlawn, Ohio. Despite the bustling atmosphere, the staff truly stood out. My waitress, Debbie, was a ray of sunshine on a freezing day. Her warm and genuine smile made me forget about the cold outside. She was incredibly attentive, checking in to ensure my meal was perfect and asking if I needed anything else. Debbie is not just an asset to First Watch; she embodies the spirit of exceptional service.“

“Everything we have tried has been great! Definitely recommend!“

“Absolutely delicious, polite and friendly service even though they were incredibly busy! I can see why!“

“The owner of Stray Dog very kindly donated dinner to the cast of Young Frankenstein, which I am a part of. And that’s a very kind thing to do. Even better is that the food was delicious! I got the cheese quesadilla. I’ll admit I didn’t eat it til a few days later. Popped it in the air fryer briefly, etc etc. And it was so good, even after being in my fridge for a few days! There was a hot sauce of some sort and a sour cream cup with the quesadilla as well. The sauce was delicious, though super spicy. Mixing it with the sour cream, though, elevated the dish. Thank you for your generous donation and thank you for the delicious food!“

“This is the Cafeteria ar the Summa City Hospital jn Akron. They have a wide choice of food from healthy to maybe not so healthy so you're covered. I've had couple meals centered on sandwiches including one Dave's Cosmic Sub and have need very pleased. They also have full meals if you want them.“
