I was excited to see a great selection of soups, sandwiches, salads, and pitas on the menu. I ended up ordering the falafel pita and a small matzo ball soup, and I was pleasantly surprised to see they carried Poppi, the gut-friendly soda, which is always a plus. And I treated myself to a little baklava as well. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The falafel was flavorful, the pita was soft and warm, and the soup was comforting and well-seasoned. Overall, a great spot with friendly service and tasty food.

Price seemed in-line with other places, staff was particularly nice. People mentioned MAGA stuff (huge RED flag for me) and I DID see a Trump/Vance sticker (wtf?) but I also saw a Biden/Harris sticker. So if you are reading this Ms. Primo...how about: no stickers? I don't want to ruin my appetite thinking about Trump. That being said, the sandwich was the best sandwich I have eaten in Ohio. I will return and get some weird thing when I go back. Building was old a full of knick-knacks. They seemed to sell retail beer, but the selection wasn't amazing but they had some interesting stuff.

We hadn't been here before, but she has been waiting 25 years to come here. She has lived in Akron for all her life, and Kenmore for 10 of those. The bread was soggy, the ingredients were not quality whatsoever, it even looks like they cooked the sandwich with the lettuce on it. The pickles, the only thing free with this expensive meal, were soggy. We paid $41 for this meal for just utter disappointment. Not only that, but these are MAGA Trumpers, displayed everywhere, which is embarrassing in a town with such diversity as Kenmore has. Most of your customers are black, so this is just insulting.

Decor is eclectic and menus were printed on a single sheet of white paper. Our server was sweet but service was a bit slow, and the market fish of the day was an appetizer which I thought was strange. I ended up going with the crab cake appetizer as my meal and splitting the bread service. Bread was good but two of the three breads that came out were sweet (with dried fruit inside) and I wish that would have been stated somewhere in advance. The crab cakes however were delicious - definitely the standout. A few of the fish dishes other diners around us ordered looked tasty as well. All in all a decent experience and I would probably go back, but nothing mind blowing.

The Blue Door Cafe & Bakery is an award-winning brunch spot located close to Akron, Ohio that made…read morenational news when it was named the #6 Top Brunch Spot in the USA by Yelp in 2023. It has been on my list for ages but it isn't close to my house and the wait is always long! But in March 2026, my bf and I braved the wait so I can finally check this place out! Overall, it is clear why Blue Door is always packed - the food, while overpriced, is delicious and made by a team of talented chef and bakers! I'll say this was a 4.5 star experience. We were quoted a wait for about 45 minutes but we were seated after 30. The case of baked goods were enticing me the entire time but I resisted! Our waiter, Steven, was funny, helpful, and had a great personality. The place, obviously, was packed, with little room in between tables. We saw quite a few patrons order the incredibly indulgent horchata French toast ($24) and I don't think I witnessed anyone finish it! To start, I got a coffee from local coffee roasters, Angel Falls, for $3.50 and my boyfriend treated himself to a fancy hot chai $6.50. It was pretty good local coffee! I wanted to try their famous croissants so I ordered the croque madame croissant sandwich with breakfast potatoes ($21). The croque madame was incredible! The breakfast potatoes could have benefited from an interesting seasoning. My boyfriend wanted everything on the menu but decided on getting the "special menu" loaded baked potato breakfast burger with salt+vinegar brined house chips (aka fries) for $24. The potato inside was a large potato latke. This heavenly creation kept him full for hours. In the end, our bill was pretty pricey for a brunch but we enjoyed every bite. I'm not sure if I will be able to come here again since we got lucky with our wait, but they keep changing their menu and something might entice me so much, I'll endure any wait!

I was really back and forth on whether to give this place four or five stars. Some of the food was…read moregreat. The chicken and sauce part of the chicken and waffles were amazing the corn beef hash dish was great. The waffles lacked real flavor and tasted odd. The coffee was great. Service was awesome but slow (took us 40 minutes to get our food). The restaurant is really cute looking and the pastry's look amazing but we only had the croissant which was great. The food was pretty expensive. We spent 70 bucks as a party of two. They definitely had large portions which is nice for the price however after moving here from Columbus, we've just had better for less for brunch/breakfast so that's why I needed to knock off a star. Still a good place but now where that we'd go to regularly because of the wait times and the price not making it feasible.

The wait was over the 45 minutes they quoted us, and the food came out lukewarm/cold when it did. The food was lacking flavor, and both our sandwiches were very dry.
