The line would be out the door all day that they're open if so. These sweet treats are properly salted. The recipes are reliably followed. The aesthetics are consistent.

Quite simply, you cannot go wrong with Tiffany Bakery…read more The selection is outstanding, first of all. Second, the quality is top notch. This is traditional baked selection with multiple signature items. I also deeply appreciate the cost is not overinflated. Many bakeries (especially newer ones) charge A LOT for their items. Not here. I'm always shocked by what a great value this place is. If it's a summer night stop in and grab a cannoli and ice cream, or work with them on a custom cake for an event. They are super sweet in there and are always willing to help. You can tell they really care about their community and their product. I need to go here more!

I talked to the owner for a while and she told me how she has worked in a Mexican restaurant in the area for years and was always disappointed that they rarely carry any of these delicious fruit-based snacks that are so popular in Mexico. She was extremely friendly and charismatic and definitely has a passion for this new venture of hers. She offered samples of a few different items off her menu and we decided on an order of bionico. Bionico is a modern Mexican twist on a traditional fruit salad. It gained popularity in the 1990s in the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco. Rosita's version contains fresh cut papaya, cantaloupe, honeydew, strawberries, apples and banana. She offered it with toppings of granola, coconut flakes and pecans. Then it is drizzled with a generous portion of a sweet crema. The bionico was so good! It was so much better and more refreshing than the best ice cream you can get in the area. Another person ordered a Piña Loca which is another refreshing fruit-based treat. She also offers some savory snacks such as the Chicharrones Preparados and Ceviche which would go great as a side with some tacos from Taqueria El Paso next door. Everything about this experience was fantastic. The food was fresh and amazingly delicious. The service and enthusiasm for the product was great. I definitely will visit again and suggest that you make some time to try it out as well!

I specifically recall having about ten different companies open on my browser simultaneously. I was removing them one by one and Fat T's was the last one open. I had just about given up hope and found myself on the verge of settling for a cookie I'd ordered before from another company. After viewing the selections (and the backstory of Fat T's), I figured I'd give it a try. Most of the cookie selections fall right in line with what I'd typically order so I was optimistic. From placement of the order to arrival at my door took about six days which is more than acceptable. I ordered a nine-cookie variety pack. I'm about six cookies down and they are phenomenal. I have yet to find one that I wouldn't enjoy more of. Fat T's will definitely be my go-to cookie for myself and my family moving forward when we look to indulge. You all at Fat T's deserve to be incredibly proud of the quality of your product. Cheers!

I can honestly say The Blue Door has earned a place among the very best meals I've ever had. What amazed me most wasn't just that every dish was delicious--it was that every single plate had its own identity. Nothing tasted repetitive or safe. Each course was thoughtfully composed with bold flavors, beautiful presentation, and combinations I never would have imagined working together... yet they absolutely did. Beyond the food, every plate looked like a work of art. You could tell the kitchen artists take immense pride in presentation without sacrificing flavor. The service was warm, knowledgeable, and perfectly paced. We never felt rushed, and every recommendation was spot on. If someone asked me where to experience one of the best dining experiences in Ohio, I wouldn't hesitate for a second. I'd tell them to drive to The Blue Door in Cuyahoga Falls.

Absolutely love this local little coffee shop. If you've ever seen the TV show, Friends, this place is like Central Perk but better. The interior provides that cozy feel and has plenty of comfortable seating options ranging from tables and chairs to couches and lounge chairs. They have a little stage where they provide live music occasionally and they have a meeting room so you're able to conduct business gatherings here as well. Their personalized coffee mugs are the neatest thing in Northeast Ohio and their coffees and other drinks are just phenomenal. If you're a fan of sweet drinks with a floral aroma, try the lavender latte....it's to die for. read more

We were in the Highland Park area during the Akron Marathon, so we decided to take a walk down the sidewalk and we came across Angel Falls Coffee Shop. So we decided to stop in the shop to get a coffee pick me up. I am a huge fan of small mom & pop coffee shops because in my opinion they are more personable with their customers and always have the best atmosphere. One of the first things I noticed was the cute & cozy decor, they had seating, a small bookshelf with books to read while you drank your coffee, and the shop had a lot of cool pictures/memorabilia on the walls. They also offer homemade sandwiches which you can have heated, cookies/pastries, and you can also buy coffee and tea to take home with you. Now for the coffee we tried I had the Spooky Kooky Ice coffee which was a cookie dough flavored, it was good but I couldn't taste the cookie flavor. My wife had the Great Pumpkin, but her coffee didn't taste like it had any sugar in it and it wasn't very good. Lastly my daughter had the Fireside Chat which was coffee and butter rum, hers was the only one that tasted like what was the flavor. I also wanted to say that the owner whose name was Jim was really friendly, funny, and gave top notch customer service. So if you find yourself driving through the Highland Park area of Akron and you need a coffee pick me that will not put a hurting on your wallet, take a stroll into The Angel Falls Coffee Company.
