23 Best Coffee Shops in Akron

“I cannot recommend Porchlight enough! I have become a frequent flyer— no seriously— twice a dad visits. I love the convenience of their online ordering in the morning and their great cafe space for lunch. There is no wrong answer when it comes to their variety of flavors for your lattes. Truly a skillfully crafted coffee menu along with flavor-packed food options. My absolute favorite menu item is their harvest Cobb salad. I CAN’T GET ENOUGH! Dried cranberries, grilled chicken, feta (I think), walnuts, topped with the to-die-for maple vinaigrette on a bed of lettuce. Seriously, there is NO reason NOT to go to Porchlight. Cheers!“

“10 out of 10!! They're phenomenal!! Thank you, guys, for your hard work, and keep serving fantastic coffee!“

“I went here I love the fact that they offered to warm my chocolate chip cookie up man I would go there just for the cookies with how good they are I definitely recommend the cookies but also get the French toast coffee that's not bad at all“

“anytime I come in im welcomed with friendly hellos and wonderful cups and friends highly recommend angel falls to people“

“I ordered a pour over coffee and a scone. The coffee was a delight, and the food hit the spot. I worked from the location for a little while. Wifi was fast, and I was able to get my work done. But seating is very limited and the only option is street parking. It was not busy when I arrived so no problem for me but if they had a rush it would get crowded quickly. Everyone was friendly, and the aroma in the shop was awesome. If in the area, give them a try. If you found this review helpful, please give a ?.“

“I visited today for the La Reina Boricua takeover. I was blown away by the excellent customer service and friendly staff. I will be back again soon!“

“Had an amazing ham omelette, brioche toast with jam and the americano iced latte with oatmilk made by Jennifer ugh so delicious. ? I come here everyday for coffee and to get some paper work done. If you haven’t made it out then deff come check it out. Such an amazing atmosphere.“

“Let me start off by saying I do not like coffee but have always wanted to enjoy it. A friend brought me here back in 2019 and had me to try a Bonfire. I have been absolutely hooked since. I will drive for 20 minutes plus to go get an amazing coffee from here. Not to mention the amazing pastries. Y’all need to open a location in the Green/Canton area!“

“First time here, they were patient with me as I've never ordered from here before.For my 16oz drink called scuba and my kids drink called magic milk which was bigger than I anticipated. Was like $5 and some change, which I'd say is a great price for 2 drinks.I'll definitely will be back“

“Stopped in looking for some whole coffee beans. Left with coffee, tea & biscotti! The staff is awesome, the selection is great! Will definitely return!!“

“Anytime we want fantastic food and a great drink, we go there. Honestly the best Turkey burger I have ever had. Always great service and the parking is just around the corner.“

“[Edit: turns out the "bagels" I was referring to are actually called a "bialys", which are not bagels at all but rather another thing entirely!]The barista was fantastic and attentive, the shop was relatively quiet, and the variety of drink options left me excited to try some new coffees! The only thing I disliked was the bagel I got. Weird texture and taste, but that might just be me!“

“The bubble tea was very good! There are a lot of choices for bubbles waffles that look great. My daughter really enjoyed the boba bubble waffle with ice cream and a variety of toppings.“

“Cute Gelato shop with a variety of premium flavors and the smooth silky texture of a good Gelato. The server girl was patient with my daughter and I and our need to pick the perfect batch. The bowls were little so be careful it will melt wayyyy to quickly on a super hot day.“

“i love coming to this coffee shop! i’m a type one diabetic so i usually have very complicated orders, they’re always super nice and accommodating about it, and most of the ingredients have no sugar so i can always enjoy something sweet without the consequences, 10/10 for me!“

“Stopped in looking for some whole coffee beans. Left with coffee, tea & biscotti! The staff is awesome, the selection is great! Will definitely return!!“

“Stopped in around 9:30 pm on a Friday for some donuts. The gentleman working the counter apologized for not having fresh filled donuts and cream sticks available however fresh cake donuts were up for grabs and some donuts that were left over from earlier in the day. I went with an assorted dozen- vanilla and chocolate coconut frosted cake donuts, a couple glazed, some powder sugar donuts both regular and cinnamon sugar, a devils food, lemon sour cream, regular sour cream, blueberry, and a chocolate frosted. I wish I could say there was a favorite but there wasn’t. All the donuts were so fresh and had a little crisp to them! Even the next day the donuts were fresh- even after cutting into most of them to try pieces none of the donuts went stale or hardened over night. The frosting was still soft as well. Great little donut shop, don’t let their hours get you they open back up in the evenings if you miss them in the mornings. Will be going back“

“This is an experience you can't miss! As you walk in the door you can order your food on a kiosk! We got iced lattes, smoothies, chicken & waffles, and a breakfast quesadilla. It was all very good! The coolest part is the opportunity to paint while you eat! It's 3 dollars for a small canvas and all the paint supplies are beside the order kiosk as you enter the restaurant. This is a great place to go hang out when you need to relax and are feeling artistic. Thanks for a great experience! ❤️“

“I was asked last minute to provide the cake for my daughter’s bridal shower. The Bake Shop in Ghent saved the day by 1. Being open on Sunday and 2. Preparing a beautifully decorated, but most importantly, absolutely delicious cake! The folks at the shop were so very nice and welcoming. Highly recommend!“

“The Wayside Cafe is the best!! The food is always fantastic and made fresh daily!! This is my go to lunch almost every work day!! Highly recommend!!!“

“This is always my 1st stop in the morning before starting my shift. The staff is always so friendly and happy. They also play the best upbeat music mix! Stopping here always makes me start my day with a smile ? Sometimes the line is long but the staff do a fantastic job at hustling to get everyone taken care of quickly.“
