The last time I went, I ordered a chocolate croissant and a Caramel Chameleon iced latte. The iced latte was so good that I grabbed another one to go! Something I really admired about this place on my last visit was how organized the staff was, despite being absolutely slammed. 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.

I did a quick search on Yelp and found Asterisks just a couple minutes up the street, so I decided to pay them a visit. I didn't do too much research before heading there so I was surprised to find them in a cute little shopping center. By the stroke of luck I was able to get a parking spot directly in front. Had that not happened, I may have gotten so frustrated trying to find parking that I would have given up. Just being honest as someone that doesn't know the area at all. Anyhoo, I was greeted immediately by their friendly staff who were happy to give me recommendations on what to order. I landed on their mole latte with oat milk, their house salad with lemon poppy seed dressing, and a ginger muffin. I drank every sip and ate every single bite. The latte was the perfect blend of chocolate and spice. The salad I would order again and again and again. Lastly, the muffin was moist with a fabulous amount of ginger flavor. The space itself was great, with a nice variety of seating options, strong wifi, local art on the walls, and a good bit of natural light. And again, the staff were fabulous. I would definitely return.

If you want a breakfast or lunch item you go to the register and order. You pay then they give you a number. Find a seat and they bring you the food. The pastries look amazing! And the line of people prove the taste. This place was hopping! We ordered a sandwich that had 2 kinds of ham, French butter on a French baguette. The other sandwich was the chicken salad on a croissant. The chicken salad comes with a couscous salad. OK the food was delicious! So good! We split everything and were full at the end. Too full to indulge in a pastry. I'd eat here again in a minute the food was really fresh and good. The place is cute. Lots of seating outside and inside. Comfy chairs and traditional tables. Patio too. Prices aren't cheap. Our lunch was about $25. Pastry's are $3 and up. A Dubai pastry was $9.50. So they aren't cheap. Really good. But not cheap. This might be a 1x a month place. Almost forgot. Drinks are limited. Coffee and a few teas. Some matcha drinks and spritzers but nothing like a plain ice tea or a coke or anything like that. I ended up with water. Not a big coffee drinker and the tea and other options weren't appealing to me. Nice recommendation! Really good food. Fresh good ingredients and healthy crowd enjoying. We came on a late Sunday afternoon around 1:00p. Still good crowd. Still lots of pastry left too. Try it you'll like it.

I got a pistachio and raspberry scone, and piece of coffee cakes and what i think was a strawberry cream croissant. Also a vanilla latte to wash it down. (Note I'm not in any way bad mouthing the owner and his wife. It's an idea he has long visioned to bring to life) however. The pistachio and raspberry scone was large and dry. I know they said that they are traveled overseas tasting patisseries and I'm wondering if they're going for a more European biscuit type scone than a cream scone, which is more tender and less dry. There were no pistachios on it. I did not care for it. Next, I got the coffee cake when you make a coffee cake that big it takes forever to bake so again it turns out dry due to the extended baking tomes, lastly I got the strawberry cream croissant, which looked very pretty. I believe they were fraise de bois on top; the dough itself, unproofed, and heavy. I would like to have seen some custard on the inside with the chantilly cream on top, but it just fell short but had potential. It was an odd set up with the pastry station right being the front counter and I noticed that most of the girls working were slow due to watching the customers come in. Very distracting. This was my first time here and I will give it another shot but after they are open a bit longer. I wish them well. This again, this is one persons constructive criticism. Every one has their own opinion. I will see you again another time.

There is also the main area (center part where you order) that has tables and chairs which is situated when you first walk in and then there is a back area towards the left that can be used as well. So, there are 2 back sections. DRINKS -- They sell matcha, tea, and coffee. I ordered a cup of Storehouse black tea with honey ($4 price, I think). I think the employee added too much honey in my tea because my stomach started hurting a little so I couldn't finish it but that's okay. I later got a mug of warm water which helped soothe my stomach. The cup of tea though is quite expensive but I like to support local businesses (Storehouse Tea is a Cleveland business). FOOD -- I also ordered a Rosemary bagel ($4) with a side of butter (.50 cents). The Rosemary bagel was delicious which isn't surprising because the owners make their own bagels. If you work remote then this coffee shop is for you as they have free wifi and plenty of tables to use. They have lots of chairs and tables laid out in three different sections. The music isn't as loud like most coffee shops in the area so I appreciated that. The back area towards the right only has 2 outlets available but thankfully, I got one to use. If you come with a laptop, make sure your battery is charged or find another seat where there is an outlet. TIP -- They sell packaged coffee to go, some packaged biscuit mix, and cute notebooks.
