I did a quick search on Yelp and found Asterisks just a couple minutes up the street, so I decided to pay them a visit. I didn't do too much research before heading there so I was surprised to find them in a cute little shopping center. By the stroke of luck I was able to get a parking spot directly in front. Had that not happened, I may have gotten so frustrated trying to find parking that I would have given up. Just being honest as someone that doesn't know the area at all. Anyhoo, I was greeted immediately by their friendly staff who were happy to give me recommendations on what to order. I landed on their mole latte with oat milk, their house salad with lemon poppy seed dressing, and a ginger muffin. I drank every sip and ate every single bite. The latte was the perfect blend of chocolate and spice. The salad I would order again and again and again. Lastly, the muffin was moist with a fabulous amount of ginger flavor. The space itself was great, with a nice variety of seating options, strong wifi, local art on the walls, and a good bit of natural light. And again, the staff were fabulous. I would definitely return.

Plus there are plenty of outlets on the large table in the middle of the coffee shop to fret not if you need to work on your laptop and it needs to be plugged in. The coffee itself was slightly disappointing. I got a regular latte and it tasted super watered down especially if I pay $7 for it. I'm going to chalk it up to some of the proportions being off as it was made. Will return for the ambiance, not sure for the coffee so much.

What a cool way to try a variety of drinks and flavors! The campfire mocha is my favorite, but I'd also suggest the peanut butter mocha: two delicious flavors that a lot of coffee shops don't offer. The bagel sandwiches are also very good. You can't go wrong with the Steinway. 647 has a very relaxing atmosphere great to get some work done, unwind, or chat with a friend. I found the leather couches very comfortable and was able to knock out a lot of work while enjoying my coffee flight and food. 647 is certainly a coffee shop that I will be visiting on a regular basis.

They also had a table with lots of fliers for current events & community engagement things happening around Akron. The shop itself has plenty of seating, and even tables outside.
