    647 Coffee is a beautiful and spacious spot with tons of seating--perfect for groups to gather, work, or just hang out. The artwork adds a nice creative touch, and I really love that it appears to be a nonprofit making a positive impact in the community. The coffee itself wasn't my favorite--it's not bad, but it has a strange aftertaste that didn't sit well with me (though I acknowledge that could just be a matter of personal preference). Wi-Fi was tough to connect to, and I felt a bit unsure about its security. The surrounding neighborhood seems rough, with visible drug activity. But honestly, that's part of why I appreciate this coffee shop even more. It's planted in a place that clearly needs light and support--and it's trying to be just that.

    An absolute perfect working space, I spent the entire day here with my laptop and my headphones and at least three cups of their excellent coffee. It's a cool space with lots of seating, lots of power outlets and a wifi that worked really well. I was super impressed and enjoyed the time. Coffee was excellent and the chocolate chip cookie I had with my second cup was delightful. When I'm back in Akron, I'll be working from here! [Review 1360 of 2024 - 279 in Ohio - 22383 overall]

    Espresso macchiato presentation average

    The front door of the facility is on the one-way street. The parking lot is in the back. The inside of this place is large and welcoming. It looks like a great place to do work. There's no password for the Wi-Fi so it's easy to connect. I purchased my typical drink an espresso macchiato. The presentation was poor, and the flavor was bitter. The price was was extremely reasonable at $2.50.

    Very cool chill and spacious coffee shop that is connected to a church. Plenty of space and outlets to work or study from. The service is friendly and the music is mellow which makes it a great place to concentrate or have a conversation. The lattes were made well and it was enjoyable to drink. They have a stage so looks like they might have live music at times and they also sometimes have special food takeovers. Definitely recommend if you're looking to get your coffee fix without the hustle and bustle of a loud and busy coffee shop.

    Cute place for coffee and/or something eat. The service was wonderful. The barista was extremely nice. Perfect place for college kids or if you want somewhere to sit and relax. Has a cute little place to check out books too.

    Amazing coffee with some of the kindest baristas. I love there mochas and lattes. They have a quiet space to work and get things done! The place also has a very cute bookstore. I highly recommend coming here ! Happy hour after 2PM Monday-Friday.

    Compass is another great coffee place. It's a cool looking space. There's plenty of chairs and tables. Quiet atmosphere. You can really get comfortable or do some work. An interesting thing is that it's in the bottom of a church. I don't know if the church is still open but it looked like it. They in spite of this don't have a religious theme. It's actually a social justice kind of place. They give some of their profits to the community to help people who need things. As for the coffee, it's good. They have a small menu but there's variety. I had a cortado. It's $3.50 for a cup. They have some non dairy milks. Among the snacks are those Betty Lou treats which you can eat pretty fast. They have several flavors of these. It overall has some good coffee. It doesn't have much in the way of food. They might at some times.

    Really cool coffee shop. Freshly made drinks with REAL milk in glass bottles ... now that's not 2022?! Non-profit with a purpose to help the locals. See photo for details.

    I questioned leaving a review, because I myself am a barista at a specialty coffee shop and I want to be supportive of all other local shops. Unfortunately, my experience here was really disappointing & I want it to be heard by the owners of the shop as well as future customers. When I walked in I was kindly greeted by a female barista & she was the highlight of my whole experience (super kind and accommodating) I ordered an oat milk cappuccino which came in 12oz /16oz sizes which is not standard for cappuccinos, but that's not the end of the world. When I received my capp I was super confused by the looks of it. The basista kindly told me that they make their own milk and it's a lot thicker than usual. She also said if I didn't like it I could swap it out for something else which was super generous. Don't get me wrong, I think it's awesome that this shop makes it own oatmilk and offers cost effective vegan options, but this was absolutely atrocious. My cappuccino was basically porridge and I couldn't handle it. (I wish I could add the video I took of me stirring this drink. Unreal.) I gave the capp back and asked for an iced coffee instead and the barista poured hot drip coffee over ice, which is a huge red flag that their staff hasn't been trained properly. I feel incredibly bad for their staff. They're not trained well and they're the ones who have to take the brunt when people are served bad product. For a coffee shop that tries to fall into the 'third wave'/ 'specialty coffee' category it's just not good.

    The first non-profit third wave coffee shop I've ever heard of or been too. I love that my money not only pays for great coffee, but also goes into the Middlebury community. Win win! They actually have a siphon brewing apparatus too! That's even hard to find in the SF Bay Area. Please try siphon when it's not busy here though, in respect for the baristas. They have pour overs, espresso, loose leaf tea, any drink you can think of, they have. Compass is located within The Well, a community development corporation, that is all about giving back and helping their community. Unlike some other massive business moving into a certain local mall, but that's another discussion. The space is huge with assorted seating arrangements. They have a coveted La Marzocco espresso machine, know worldwide as one of the best espresso machines on the planet. The baristas are super chill, knowledgeable, and clearly have a passion for coffee. There are games here, a little shop, open mic night. I mean this place is just amazing. It's also part of the Drip Drive and the Hartzler Coffee cruise, both analogous to the Akron area beer passport.

    This is a neat little coffee shop, in the back of an old church! It's very spacious inside, and is a great area to do work and relax in. Would work great for business meetings or to catch up with friends. They offer drip and pour over coffee. Only downside is that the milk they use is a milk that's the lowest level of pasteurization, and leaves a weird consistency when added to coffee.

    This Starbucks is in the middle of campus, which has its pros and cons. I usually stop by here in…read morethe mornings before teaching, and it is quiet between 7am-8am. If you get there around 8:30am or 9:00am, however, forget it! Crazy lines, and orders get immensely backed up. Typically Starbucks fare. However, since it is a campus location, when they run out of products towards the end of the year/holiday, that's it. Keep that in mind if you're looking for your favorite muffin! Also - they don't take all rewards/coupons there. I'm a gold card member, and my rewards on my card don't work there. Something to think about before visiting if that was your intent!

    Yes, it's Starbucks. But after a good experience here yesterday, I'm going to go ahead and review…read moreit. Let me be clear - I didn't even order a drink here, so this review is just about the atmosphere. I was here to interview a high school senior who applied to my alma mater, and since he worked after school at UAkron, we decided to meet here. Parking - if you're not a student, not great. I managed to snag a metered spot (1 hour max) outside the union, but there weren't many of those. The Starbucks was also a little hard to find - it's all the way at the end of the union. Wifi - even nonstudents can access the UAkron guest network. However, I found it to be really slow, and it kept kicking me off so I had to reload a lot of pages. Not ideal, but since most people here are students...not a huge issue. However - the space is laid out great. There's ample chairs, ranging from standard hard plastic cafe chairs to armchairs to leather chairs. As a bonus, some chairs have cupholders and a little swing-out writing/laptop surface: perfect for studying, reading, taking notes, using your computer, etc. There's a really good amount of tables too: this place was clearly designed with a large student population in mind. The staff was being helpful to other groups, helping some UAkron organization set up at their tables. Anyway, well done Starbucks/designers of the union!

I discovered Pearl a few years ago through word of mouth and my employer where Pearl Coffee was sold and served. This is a review of my personal visits to their place of business on Broadway. In the last 5 months I've bought a pound of coffee every several weeks. I usually showed up on a weekday shortly before closing. I've tried a single origin Ethiopian, their Pumpkin Spice blend, and their Diana Blend. For my experience purchasing coffee and asking about available coffee it seems Pearl primarily roasts medium to dark coffees. The Diana Blend is their lightest roast. I usually drink single origin light roasts from microroasters and their Diana Blend is more like a medium roast. The Diana Blend is a really enjoyable blend and it's no wonder it is their best selling. It's consistently good as well. I think they have over 30 different coffees, from Pumpkin Spice to single origins from Ethiopia. I like the variety. Whole bean and ground coffee available. They also sell syrups, some tea bags and other season items. Buying at their Broadway location is easy and simple. When I first visited I didn't know what I wanted and they were able to offer me a couple coffees based on my preferences. I've stuck with the Diana Blend because it's good and right now it's $7.50 a pound. I believe you can order ahead and pick up at the store. I've seen orders sitting out. The staff are very nice and friendly. Walking into the store is like walking back into history with the pictures and newspapers clippings on the walls telling the history of Pearl Coffee and the old coffee equipment on display. Their connection to the local community and relationship with their patrons is evidenced by the many pictures of their patrons on the walls. Their is also a little section in the back with other coffee decorative items, I believe. I sort of remember wandering back there while waiting. Try some coffee from Pearl Coffee. I recommend their Diana Blend.

They knew how to keep the line moving and were all very friendly. *Some things to note: It can get very crowded, which limits seating. Because of the crowds, parking may also be tricky (though I've never had to leave due to not finding a parking spot!)

    I don't see how there could be any ratings under 3 for Angel Falls Coffee. Surprisingly and not…read moresurprisingly, this city and area, the crown jewel of the rubber industry and home of big tire manufacturers, has enough critical mass to warrant culture, fine dining, and entertainment venues. The nearby university (University of Akron) is a medium- to large-sized school that has many of the chain eateries and coffeehouses nearby. Not surprisingly, a major university niche area is polymer engineering, which relates to the rubber industry. I asked about independent coffeehouses and was steered several miles west on Market Street to Angel Falls Coffee, although I was given some other indie names. The name Angel Falls registered. Located in Venezuela, it is the tallest waterfall in the world! I was also told that the coffeehouse and its immediate area, Highland Square, lean bohemian and is where the cool kids in the area opt to live. Once you get out of your car, the quirkiness of the area is evident and it continues in going inside to Angel Falls Coffee. If it were in a strip mall, which it is not, Angel Falls would seemingly take up two bays. The left half of the store is where you order near the glass cases and where there is merchandise. The right half of the store is the slightly frumpy wood paneled coffeehouse with the seating. I need to immediately mention some things. The selection of teas is stellar. I was able to land on apricot flavored tea that is a caffeinated black tea. It was delicious. If that isn't enough, there's a large selection of cookies, cupcakes, pastries, and slices of cake and the prices are fair. The cupcake I selected was excellent. The service is pleasant enough and they attend to people quickly. You can take your purchase to go. However, many people choose to stay to eat in. Places like Angel Falls make me chuckle and scratch my head as to how I check the D box on my voter registration yet I find counterculture people amusing, intriguing, and irritating. Now, at a suburban coffee house where many of the patrons might check the R box, these mental gymnastics wouldn't even register. But I don't want to check the R box. Thus, I rolled with this "rubbing of the elbows" with some unique people: Highland Square residents, Akron U. students, university employees, progressives, hippies, various area residents who come because it's a good coffeehouse, and others steered here because of asking for recommendations. You'll remember this coffeehouse because it's far from cookie cutter. Parking can be found free of charge on the side streets. There are diagonal parking spaces out front that are metered. Again, the coffeehouse itself is a little bit dowdy which detracts from it getting 5 stars. But the selection of teas, baked goods, and the expedient service are its strong points. I'm sure the coffee, of which there are many varieties, is also good. There are also some interesting eateries packed into these few blocks. Angel Falls is thus squarely a 4 star experience and one that I could see people repeating often if a local, or from time to time if passing through.
