This was my first time visiting this café, and I felt genuinely welcomed from the moment we walked in. The barista (who I believe is the head barista) went above and beyond by giving us a full "tour" of the drink menu, explaining each type of drink and helping us decide what to order. She was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. She even asked our names and introduced herself, which made the experience feel personal and warm. I didn't catch her name, but her hospitality really stood out and made this first visit such a great experience. You can tell they care about their customers here. I'll definitely be back! Also my drink was so yummy. read more

This place always have very unique, creative flavor combinations. I tried the Bacon Sweet Cherry Revenge sandwich for the first time. Personally, it was too sweet for me and I was expecting the cherry jam to be more tart. But I do enjoy trying new flavor combinations! I also got a bagel with the garlic herb cream cheese. As you can see in the picture, the bagel texture looked off to me,l with the pale flaky bits, but I do not believe it was from unbaked pieces or staleness since it tasted fine to me. They gave me two things of cream cheese, and so I appreciate the amount they gave! I ordered on DoorDash and they prepped the food so fast! I got it delivered to school and was very happy upon receiving a fresh, hot sandwich! read more

Have done takeout here several times for the office staff. Menu has a good variety for all and is well packaged. Everyone is always very complimentary about their food. Would recommend! read more

This review is SOLELY over the matcha I ordered here. This is the "medium matcha latte" with almond milk. It's literally just water and a splash of almond milk and hardly any "matcha". Unfortunately, I paid $13 for this on DoorDash today which is insane, it's priced at $7 regularly and even that seems like highway robbery. This is not high quality matcha. If you want real matcha I suggest trying elsewhere and saving your money. read more

Most people treat me equally, but the slim little lady there got mad at me because I asked her name. I was just being friendly. I don't think I want to go back anymore. She didn't like me telling her about myself. I want to apologize. I'm sorry I said anything... I have felt the vibe before, but I was hoping it was just my imagination... There's good food and unique choices so most people will enjoy their experience. Enjoy your day. The ambiance is also delightful . read more

This is one of the spots I frequent in Akron. I had to post this power bowl! Quinoa, eggs kale and green onions topped with a Chile sauce! It's so delicious! The flavor profile just works. Simple but tastes so complex and fresh read more

Ooooo this place was yummy. Found it while looking for lunch - wanted a cafe that served food. I got the Bahn Mi wrap, sooo delicious. We got the half size and it was perfect for lunch and pretty cheap. The coffee was also pretty good! The decor is comfy and has an antique shop feel. The workers were polite and greeted us right away! I will definitely be back. read more

This genuinely might be the best cafe I have ever eaten at! The food was delicious, the atmosphere is cozy, the music is lit, and the drinks and pastries were delicious and perfectly balanced! If I ever come back to Akron, I will have to visit again! read more

Kitchen does cool and interesting things (kimchee grilled cheese, for example) and there are espresso coffees and other specialty drinks. Competent and talented kitchen. Friendly and helpful. Dining room is a bit spare and you'll use plasticware and disposable containers whether or not you take your food to go. Essentially a high-end take out window with inside seating. But generally worth it. read more

The Bacon sandwich was not very good. It should have been called Tomato BLT. Was not very pleased. Where's the beef?

I was in the area for work and in desperate need to coffee and breakfast. The interior is very colorful and warm. It's not really a place you'd sit and drink your coffee but that's perfectly fine. I got a pumpkin spice latte (made with pumpkin puree I believe) - very tasty and comparatively priced. For my breakfast to go, I grabbed the signature breakfast sandwich on a bagel with bacon. It wasnt6bad but I wished there had been a spread or schmear or something in the actual bagel. Overall, I'd stop by again. read more

I have never had a bad thing here and being dairy and meat free, this says a lot!! They are so accommodating and offer alternatives and the customer service is outstanding! Every single person is kind here. They Lotus drinks, chai and seasonal coffee feature are favs! Kid loves the smoothie! Sweet Potato and Black Bean Burrito, Rico suave (minus bacon) and power bowls are our favs! The only negative is they aren't open weekends or for dinner hours- they'd get even more of my business read more

I love the eggsquisite alpine delight sandwich!!! super good! Today was different there was a a hiccup with my food, but i called and they were super understanding since i couldn't come back since im at work, they issued a refund! I still will suggest this place because this sandwich so so good! and i got coffee for the first time today super good! if you don't want a super strong coffee like starbucks this is definitely a place to go! Even when i was struggling to remember the sandwich the staff was super helpful and super sweet! definitely suggest this place! read more

I always like to stop at local coffee shops when visiting a new area. So, while in Akron, we visited Chameleon Cafe for breakfast. I liked the funky vibe and vintage decorations. There are 3-4 tables to sit and hang and a couple of comfy chairs. It wasn't busy on a Thursday morning so we grabbed a two-seat table. It looks like they also put out seating on the sidewalk but it was raining. Ordering was easy and the staff was friendly and helpful. We ordered breakfast sandwiches on English muffins, mine with sausage and Christopher's with just egg and cheese. Mine was yummy and perfect! I got a sugar-free decaf caramel latte, which was wonderful!! Christopher got a butter beer iced latte. He said it could've had more butterscotch but it still was tasty. I recommend this cute place when in downtown Akron! read more

Yesterday I wrote a review about how the place smelt horrible and the cashier was rude. Let me start by saying the smell was unbearable. It consisted of wet dog, mold, and fried food. Yes I did come in and order but since I couldn't use my preferred payment I had to leave. (I was very thankful since the worker was unfriendly). The cashier gave me attitude for no reason. She was happy to see me go. I only know this because I have an education on social interactions and psychology and could tell by her expressions of relief. read more

Stayed in downtown Akron for a weekend, and this spot was right next to my hotel. Honestly SUCH A CUTE cafe and spot for quick lunch &/or beverage. The staff is super friendly, and all of the food on the menu looked super good (and reasonably priced). I ended up getting the cilantro chicken panini which was amazing; the perfect pick-me-up really. The also have a lot of fun coffee and refresher drinks! Definitely stop by if you're in the area. read more

Great spot for breakfast and lunch! I finally got to try this place out...I've been wanting to go for a while but they aren't open on weekends and they close early afternoon. It's downtown Akron so keep that in mind for parking but we found a spot nearby without much difficulty. We opted to eat inside, but a ton of people came in for pickup/to go orders while we were waiting so that seems to be a popular choice. They serve breakfast all day, which I love, so I ordered a breakfast sandwich and coffee even though it was 2pm. The sandwich is a double egg patty with your choice of bread and protein. The service was friendly as well. I went for an English muffin for my sandwich and asked if they could add avocado and spinach since I'm a vegetarian and they kindly agreed. The sandwich was beyond delicious! My coffee was good too...I got one of their specialty drinks (iced coconut caramel latte) and subbed for oat milk and it did not disappoint. My mom ordered their Mexican street corn chicken wrap and a lemonade and was pleased with them both! There were several other menu options that sounded great to us so we will be back to try more for sure. Thank you, Chameleon Cafe! read more

Fresh,great prices and specials. Love the sandwiches and that it's a creative menu. A gem

This is my first time eating here and baby let me tell you... I ordered the Burrito - Sweet Potato & Black Bean. I almost ate my finger trying to ensure I inhaled every crumb! It was SOOOOO GOOD! The service was super quick! I will continue to patronize this establishment! read more

So I ordered the same tea today which was just as good as the first time; however, I ordered the Southwest chicken wrap but I got the chicken caesar. Since I'm not a big fan of shaved parmesean I was bummed about the wrap. I had to open it up and take out the parm before I could eat it. Outside of that, it was good but it wasn't what I ordered :( This won't stop me from ordering but I hope I get what I asked for next time. read more

Stopped in with some of our staff. Drinks are awesome and food was deliciou. People were welcoming and friendly. Winning! read more

Excellent. Granted, I've only tried two menu items on the menu but my lunch was absolutely delicious so I could not wait until a second visit to review this cafe. FOOD (LUNCH) - My friend Jeanie, treated me to lunch on 15 January 2019 and I ordered the Cilantro Lime Chicken Panini. I got the half size and next time, I will for sure splurge and order a full size because it was so tasty. I didn't realize how small the half size would be until I received it. The cilantro and house made lime butter were key staples to the panini because they brought out the flavour. The half size cilantro like chicken panini sandwich was $5.69 and the full is $8.89. These prices are definitely on the higher end of the price spectrum. Although the cost may seem high, the sandwich and other items on the menu are made fresh in their kitchen. I could definitely taste the freshness as I bit into the delicious panini. YUM. BREAKFAST - (edit). I came back a few days later, after having lunch here, to order breakfast. The second time I came here was on 18 January 2019. I ordered the breakfast croissant sandwich with egg and sausage. It was delicious but over $6 so the price is high. MENU - They have a full lunch menu and they are also open for breakfast. They also serve baked goods such as cookies. They have drinks as well such as coffee and hot chocolate. They can cater for you too so if you are having a party or office lunch, just call them ahead of time. SERVICE - Awesome. Once my friend and I ordered lunch, our food was brought out in a cafeteria style tray. My friend and I arrived at 12:30pm on a Tuesday and it was not too busy. The crowd later picked up but it seemed that most people took their lunch orders to go as there were plenty of chairs and tables to sit on. I love this small business and I'll definitely be back at least one more time before my temporary work stay in Akron ends. Prices are high but everything is lade fresh, in-house. I recommend that you stop on in. They are open daily (M-F) from 8am - 3pm. - 13 total reviews in 2019. - 223 total Yelp reviews. - Reviewed on 16 January 2019. read more

We stopped in here for a late lunch and were not disappointed by the food quality! I had the black bean and sweet potato burrito. It was perfectly toasted and the tortilla was really good. I also had a small side salad, no cheese. The apple cider vinaigrette dressing is amazing! Light and flavorful. My dining companions had the meatball grilled cheese (with marinara for dipping) and the clam chowder (soup of the day). Everything was fresh and delicious! My only complaint would be that they packed our food to go even though we were dining in. It would've been a bit easier to eat off of a plate rather than from a box. read more

Me & my coworkers had decided to order from this place!!! Chameleon Cafe did not disappoint!!!

We will definitely be ordering again!! ~ thru DoorDash they don't have delivery service and they close pretty early like 3pm Monday-Friday 11a-3pm read more

1st time visiting and loved the decor and menu items. The energy drink was excellent.

Today, one of my party did not get his soup and had to go up to the counter to inquire about it. Heather came to our table and gave him 5 Chameleon Bucks and genuinely apologized. They really value customer satisfaction here and take care to fix any small problem that other places would probably brush off. This is why we come back every week! read more

The power bowls put them in a league of their own in Akron. The Spicy Szechuan and the Korean bowl have both been excellent every single time. I wish I could say more about other dishes but I can't stop ordering those two. Line moves quick, food is ready quick, even with a crowd. Always clean and upbeat. Parking out front in the pick up zone makes it super easy to drop in and drop out. It's hard in Akron to find places that know how to make a vegetable-forward meal that is full of flavor and not drowned in ranch dressing or cheese. Chameleon Cafe is all over it. read more

I have worked downtown for 15 years and never heard of this place. Someone recommended it so we ordered it from work. Amazing!! Not just a little amazing but freaking amazing!

Love this cafe so much, they have the best selection when it comes to food from wraps to salads to sandwiches and soups. They always have cookies with vegan options which is super cool. Alongside that their drink options are also very diverse and interesting. The cafe itself is so cool inside and I love looking at all the Knick knacks and little trinkets placed around. The employees are very helpful and incredibly kind and are a pleasure to interact with. read more
