They hired a circus freak barista. Hard to look at it. Place was so loud I couldn't concentrate. Remember when coffee venues were calm places you could relax and enjoy coffee? You know with soft music and people chatting quietly.
Then this shop hosted Dennis Kucinich to spew his Crohn's disease version of politics in a conservative city so I lowered my rating further.
There is a nice coffee shop run by Keller one block south where they have normal people and great coffee and food so if that's what you are looking for avoid this freak show.

Went with my partner to Cool Beans on a quick lunch pit stop. Was looking forward to visiting after a recommendation from a friend, and hearing about their iced coffee and soup flights. We ordered two of the drink specials, the Hermit, a Thai Iced Tea Blended drink, and the High Priestess, a Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Latte. We ordered both with oat milk, which was confirmed by the cashier. I do prefer a sweet flavored drink, but both tasted primarily of milk and syrup, and possibly dairy milk. We ate the soup flight for lunch, ours had the chili, potato leek, pasta fagioli, and tomato soup. We paired it with the three cheese panini with added bacon. We loved the tomato of the four soups, and found the other soups and sandwich average. It was a busy day, and there were about 30 people in the Cafe. The food took a while to come out, and it was difficult to hear names being called clearly. A last concern, despite the high ceilings and spread out tables, and people in and out the doors air quality levels were very high, the second time I've seen a capped score of 1999ppm. Good indoor air quality should be below 1000ppm. Installing quality air filtration can help improve this and keep customers safe by decreasing risk to airborne illness. The flights are really cool concepts, and if these concerns were addressed I'd come back.

First time here we found this little place online and decided to give it a try. I got the flight which was really good. The butter pecan steamer didn't have a whole lot of flavor but the others were really good. We got the soup flight as well and all four were really good the flavors we got will be in the pictures. The reason for the 4 star on good was we got the three cheese grilled cheese and the crust was super hard. Had to soak it in the soup to eat the crust. The flavor of the sandwich was good besides the crust. The ladies at the register were super nice and kind and showed us all the flight and specials. They were knowledgeable about the products. We will be back. We need of of these up in West Akron

My go to coffee stop! Awesome selection, fresh and delicious food options, and love the friendly staff!
I've been going to Cool Beans for more years than I care to admit. The customer service is beyond stellar on a daily basis. My mornings are always made better by stopping in for my mocha - absolutely delicious! Proud to support this local business!

Our cookies were delicious and my daughter loved her soup! I didn’t need anymore caffeine…so I took the staff suggestion of a hot chaider…delish!(chai and cider mixed together) It was a busy day but found a table by the window to watch the people walking around downtown Medina. Cool Besns never disappoints! I’m looking forward to trying their new soup flights!
