The service, coffee and food were excellent. Really enjoyed the seasonal menu. We also loved the space. Very comfortable and good size, especially for the price. The coffee shop/venue is run by a community non-profit who I was very impressed with. Everyone commented what a great place it was and the shower turned out awesome. Highly recommend the coffee shop and using it as a venue. Will for sure go back!

I've been here a couple of times and honestly have never been blown away. The quality of the…read morecoffee is good, don't get me wrong, and they make their own almond milk which I appreciate. Inside is small so I have never stayed, always opting to get my drinks to go. Today the barista was very standoffish...perhaps she was just having a bad day but it left me with a not so great impression. The drinks are also a bit pricey and they charge a 3% convenience fee for card payments. Not a bad spot, but not my personal favorite.

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. Nothing special here. And that's the only reason it's not 5 star. All in all a good experience. I didn't try the food but it looked and smelled great.

Cardinal coffee and cakes has been on my list for a while now as I love trying out new cafes and…read morebakeshops. This place is ADORABLE. It has so much charm to it. The people are incredibly friendly, not only the workers but everyone who was there which shows the audience this cafe attracts. It was awesome to see the wide arrangement of drink options from hot to cold to energy infused drinks with Red Bull. They also had a TON of house baked goods. Scones, muffins, cinnamon rolls, strudels and more. They even have lots of various breads to choose from and cakes! They have inside and outside seating which is charming and simple. The food is great and the drinks are high quality and refreshing. The cinnamon rolls warmed up in the microwave were probably some of the best I've ever eaten.The cream cheese frosting is to die for as well as the strawberry rhubarb filling (I need a jar of it). Muffins are SO MOIST and great texture/flavors. I also really liked that by the cash register they had some pre wrapped baked goods that were slightly discounted meaning they were probably leftovers from the previous day or what not so I like that they do not waste! Overall, if you are in the area or a short drive away please stop in and you won't regret it!

This is one of our favorite spots to grab coffee and a treat. Cardinal Cakes has a wide variety of…read moredrink options to choose from, including a seasonal menu. My favorite drink is the maple cinnamon roll latte - a very unique flavor! The pastries can be difficult to choose from because everything looks good! Typically I stick with one of their scones. Lately I have been getting one for now and another for the next morning! They keep very well overnight and still taste fresh the next day. The ambiance is inviting and relaxing. Their breakfast sandwiches are very good! The only problem is they stop serving them around 11:00 or 12:00 depending on whether it's a weekday or a weekend. The last couple of times I stopped in, I left disappointed because I missed the cutoff for the sandwiches. Cardinal Cakes & Coffee is an excellent choice for any coffee enthusiasts or people in search of a quality breakfast.

The workers were so nice. They have a rewards stamp card for their drinks. I also asked about their pastries - and they have a rotating menu (the options aren't always the same). So if you see a sweet you like you should get it! My latte was okay. Not bad, and not the best one I've had. But so many other things about this place make up for it (at least for me). I want to go back and try some of their bakery items, they looked soooo tasty. Overall rating: 4.6/5 stars

That said I would definitely go back for lunch or to try one of their delectable looking pastries!
