Followed my instructions exactly and gave me a choice of half payment or full payment at the time of the order.

They also sell slices of cake and lots of pastries which will require future visits!

We tried chocolate, red velvet, and vanilla cake. With Oreo butter cream, cream cheese frosting, chocolate mousse, and chocolate butter cream. The frostings were light and creamy. The cake had a small issue that they fixed right away when we discussed it. They take all feedback to help make the experience better. We even tried their tiramisu, which was excellent as well. All in all I'd recommend them as a bakery and as a wedding dessert place. Angela brought great experience with weddings and helped us get enough cakes without going overboard or breaking our budget.

There are variety of seasonal specials on both sides including Easter bunnies. There are also a lot of discount options. I tried sakura ice cream available in honor of Sakura festival. It was very subtle and just okay. To be very honest, I did not feel the best about the cleanliness of this shop. It looked outdated and in need of a deep clean. The staff were welcoming. The shop has a few tables. No outdoor seating available. You could take your ice cream for a walk downtown or to Lock 3 park. Street parking is available.

They're food is more fresh than any of the 'chain' stores around and more affordable. This will be my new morning stop! And they sell trays of desserts for gatherings.

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!

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.
