    Matcha Latte

    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.

    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

    Bahn Mi Wrap
    Alexis B.

    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.

    Taco Bout Breakfast Burrito

    The food here is sooooo delicious!! The flavors in the Taco Bout Breakfast Burrito is unique and appetizing! The secret sauce is great too.

    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!

    Sausage, egg, cheese breakfast sandwich
    Lynne R.

    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!

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

    OK, let's start with the fact that I routinely tend to rate restaurants that I think are…read moreoutstanding, and can use a little love to get their footing and be helped on the way to success. In other words, majority of my reviews are highly favorable. This review is not highly favorable. The food was fine. The burgers were good, and the fries were excellent. The old-fashioned's we ordered with our meal were solid as well. The reason I am giving such a low review, is the honor and integrity of the gentleman working behind the bar at 6:30 on Friday, February 13. When we asked if there were any happy hour specials, he told us there was an unadvertised $7 burger. He did point out in the menu that if we were to add condiments, they would be roughly $.20 apiece. Sounded fine. I didn't calculate how many condiments we added, because I knew it would be a minimal additional cost. When we received the bill, it was $17 for each burger and another $4 each for the fries. That means each burger was $14 more in total than what he told us the price was going to be. He then proceeded, condescendingly, to explain to my wife and I how we didn't understand his original guidance. We understood just fine; he was making a few extra dollars on the sale by not being upfront. His explanation was that the menu was changing, which is why these prices had to be told to us verbally. There was no misunderstanding. It was a used car salesman approach on hidden costs, over a hamburger. The entire point of going to a restaurant for customers is to feel satisfied with their food, and experience, not to trick them into feeling like they misunderstood simple guidance on ordering food and now paying twice as much. The larger purpose of a restaurant for the vendor is to bring back return business. Businesses succeed when people return, and more importantly, bring other people into the restaurant. In summary, this was a wasted opportunity for the restaurant as the food was good and the decor inside is immaculate. But, it is essential that a place of business makes customers feel respected and has employees capable of treating patrons as intelligent customers who deserve a hassle free evening out, without hidden costs not advertised on a menu.

No greeting. We waited at the counter for a bit, thinking he was just trying to finish something up. Then I finally asked if they're open for orders and that is when he came out to take our order. We wasn't friendly at all, more like we were an inconvenience for interrupting his task in the back. We both ordered a version of white mocha. They were ok but had a bunch of the white chips still unmelted at the bottom, makes for a chunky drink. There's so much potential for a shop in this location, but when it's mediocre coffee from an unfriendly barista, we will choose a different spot next time. Unfortunately I will not be recommending this place to anyone.

    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!
