The coffee selection was a very nicely curated selection of artisanal beans. The drinks were well made and creative. Unlike much of Akron the parking was easy and free. The overall ambiance was fine.

Try the strawberry cheesecake latte and a hazelnut latte. Their breakfast biscuit and go to favorite. However, be prepared that they are extremely busy and you can't just walk in and get coffee super quick. When we went on Sunday around 11 there was a 30 minute wait for food in about a 10 to 15 minute. Wait to get your drink. They get a lot of business on Doordash so they're busy filling those orders as well.

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.

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!

The person I was with did not want sugar in their drink and we didn't realize until we got in the car and started driving away when he took his first sip. If you like a lot of sugar, I guess this is the place for you because they automatically add sugar to their Matcha latte too. You can't even get it without sugar.

We knew we wanted to go to the Mustard Seed. So we put Mustard Seed in our GPS and headed there. To…read moreour surprise, there was another Mustard Seed. After we shopped we were hungry and walked upstairs to eat at this cafe. I did see that they have an elevator. It is so open and airy and looks so fresh and clean. I'm always a little flustered when I need to go through my entire list of allergies with someone. The person at the cash register did not bat an eye and was very kind and patient. We placed our order and sat down. They have live music on Saturday nights which was cool. They served our food at our table. The reason I gave them 4 stars is that they did not have the Parmesan for their Caesar Salad as stated on menu. Mind you, they are connected to the supermarket, you would have thought they can complete the recipe on their menu. The salmon that was the protein requested for that salad was excellent.

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!
