Friendly staff and eager to engage and educate in coffee culture. Not pretentious at all. Coffee is freshly roasted and excellent. Have had several types of beans and a v60 pour over. All of excellent quality. Cant wait to come back!

This place is legit!! Tried 3 different flavors in espresso drinks and all absolutely delicious.

Kind staff and nice coffee bean smell in the cafe. Unfortunately, nobody cant drink it indoor because of Covid-19. Actually, mixed soda and esppresso one wasnt not my style, ice pour over was nice to me.

I love this coffee shop. They have another branch in Cuyahoga Falls called Asterix place. They make homemade almond milk at both locations. It is so delicious. They make a Great cappuccino and Cortada. Both of their coffee shops are my favorite in Summit county.

Delicious coffee and house made almond milk. Friendly staff! Digging the tiger art vibes. No chai tea available. Would come back and recommend.

Were on a road trip so this spot was heavenly after a week of hotel lobby coffee. It is a clean and bright space with a good amount of seating (which is still closed for now). They have a simple menu and dont waste espresso shots with endless sizes and customizations. I would come to Akron again for this place.

Been to asterisk many times, hadnt checked this place out. Glad I went. Loved my pour-over.

Very nice latte art

Minimalist, hipster coffee shop with some serious brews. Not your typical starbucks fare and all the better for it, if thats what youre after. Friendly hosts and laid back vibe. Cool urban location.

Must Visit - Akron Coffee Roasters is brewing and roasting some seriously good coffee. Their espresso blend was delicious and is Spro Hoe Approved! Our cappuccinos were equally impressive. The service was attentive and friendly. This shop is small and might not be the best for work/study but provides space for couples to meet and enjoy some coffee.

This is an absolute favorite spot for quality coffee and espresso. I love the honey cortado, and the cookies they often have out on the counter are awesome (chocolate walnut or almond cloud). I also really enjoy the local art featured on the walls.

Not even a big coffee drinker and I love this place. The Honey Cortado is amazing!

They have a new 2nd location at 2105 Front St., Cuyahoga Falls.Best coffee shop in a 50 mile radius. They roast their own beans here. They make their own homemade almond milk here. The decaf is sugar processed not chemical. If you get a decaf cappuccino they pack it extra tight so it’s very flavorful. They carry a local bakeries pastries. That local bakery uses all natural local ingredients. The atmosphere is delightful the sun will shine in the windows in the early morning until about one or 2 PM. It’s a great place to study or do work. There is a small night light Cinema right next-door which has seating during the day also they share with the coffee shop and it’s very quiet. They allow dogs. It’s just a delightful place with wonderful people and great coffee and pastries can’t say enough about this place.A year later and this is still my favorite coffee shop.

Great coffee and tea, friendly and helpful staff, lovely interior. Very bike friendly! Really happy to discover this coffee stop at the high point of our bike ride on a hot day.

THE BEST IN AKRON. i never tasted a coffee better than their coffee. The place is beautiful, clean and comfortable and the baristas are all nice. The only issue with this place is that it closes early.

Please please go here for your coffee fix!!! The quality is outrageous and the guys were so friendly. These people know coffee and if you want something strong and tasty, this is the place to go!

Low key small place where coffee is king. Not a ton of room but bring a friend and enjoy a cup. The location is on a one way street and you can usually park right on the road in parallel parking. No food. Its all about the cup of coffee. I highly recommended this place. Must try.

Im so impressed with this place. Their decaf is very good; the smells are too good to be true; service is excellent; great pictures on wall (interesting too). Proud to have ACR representing coffee in Akron.

AMAZING coffee in a cool and vibrant shop! The BEST in Akron!

Great coffee, very clean, light, modern vibe inside. People were super friendly and patient with me as I ordered. Kombucha and nitro cold brew were expensive at 4 dollars per 8 oz. Pour over is only 3 and is great! Milk is steamed perfectly! I will visit this shop again. Love it.

Hands down the best coffee shop in all of Akron. I absolutely love their cold pourovers of Ethiopian blend coffee with a dash of almond milk (home made almond milk, by the way). Different selections of coffee for the pourovers from day to day also, which keeps it interesting. A great way to start your day! Plus if youre looking for a bite to eat in the a.m., check out their specialty toasts or the granola.

Talk about work intensive...it takes time to brew quality coffee which is roasted and ground on site. Only take out for now but well worth a stop. Park across the street.Wait until spring for cozy indoor seating.

Great coffee roasted in house and nice people

Simplicity is key here for all the attention is poured into roasting and serving single-origin, top-grade coffee to perfection. The owner and the staff are obsessed with serving the perfect cup. Ive literally seen them throw away anything they werent satisfied with, even though the customer may never know the difference. I love the mail order subscription of freshly roasted beans I receive each month in the mail. I even brought a friend traveling from Brazil to the shop and he declared this the best cup of espresso hes yet had in the U.S. (and hes been all over). Cant recommend this place enough. Its a gem in the region, not just the city.

Yes!! This is how you do coffee! I had the Peru pour-over, as did my friend. My other friend had the honey cortado, made with local honey from Akron Honey. They also make their own almond milk in-house. Wowzers! Super friendly manager. Clean and nice venue attached to the worlds cutest theater, which was all decked out for Halloween. excellent

Really great place to get coffee! great atmosphere

Tasty good coffee and very nice people.

Amazing coffee! And the staff was super friendly. I also fell in love with the artwork/photographs hanging on the walls.

Great espresso & wonderful customer service from Dillon! Cozy, slightly modern coffe place.

Super cute place, delicious coffee and tea!

Best black coffee available. The coffee is roasted well and has great depth in taste.

Love their live music.

Best coffee shop around! Great people to chat with! And incredibly delicious coffee! Thank you! Keep it up!

Fast casual deli-style food. We stopped in on St. Patrick’s day and even though there was a line it went quickly! Staff was definitely working hard to keep things moving and clean! Our sandwiches were as expected.

Hands down best coffee! And always a pleasure to visit. Thanks for the drinks! :)

Great coffee. Love the sign outside. Parking is a bit of a pain. Not a whole lot of seating, but there are areas next door and outside that help. They had cold pour over drink, which Id never seen before.

Hands down my favorite coffee shop in Akron. I live in California now, but whenever Im home, I make time to stop at ACR and grab a cup. I also recommend the subscription service. Nothing beats a slow weekend morning on the couch with a cup of their coffee.

Cortado is very nice. Lovely place.

Truly the best coffee I’ve ever tasted! I’m considered a “coffee snob” by many friends. But their coffee is truly a gift to my palate. Fresh beans ground in front of you, time to prepare it correctly. This is how coffee is meant to be! Thank you for existing ACR!

Great coffee and genuine good service. Like going to your sisters house.

Its not often you find people dedicated enough to elevate coffee to both a science and an art. These folks know what theyre doing and the affogato is a treat!

Really fantastic coffee!!

Amazing workers and even better coffee 11/10

Friendly service and great coffee.

After living in Seattle for almost a decade, it was very refreshing to find a place in Akron ohio that does coffee so well. For as long as I am in the area, this will be a good to place for me. Well done guys.

This is by far the best cup of coffee in Akron. No thrills, no frills, just Java.

Always enjoy stopping in to grab some delicious fresh roasted coffee and an espresso. Highly recommend!

Great coffee shop

Love this little place. definitely will be back.

They really know their coffee here!

Beautiful coffee that actually tastes really good! Worth a shot.

Love this place! Super friendly staff, great ambiance and AMAZING coffee, whether you get it there or you get some to take home and grind yourself!!

Internal design is wonderfully clean and minimal. Latte was exceptional. Will be back when Im in Akron.

I love Akron coffee roasters so much!! Whenever I come back from Chicago to visit home I stop here to grab coffee and a bag of beans. This is the best coffee in Akron.

Beautiful shop in a cool neighborhood. Very friendly, knowledgeable service and awesome single origin coffee!

Best coffee in Akron 🔥

Always delicious and flavorful pour overs, friendly staff, and the new outdoor space is perfect for fall

My first visit was at the Front St. spot. Incredibly clean, spacious and everything is displayed meticulously. So, I indulged... 2 bags of coffee, hoodie, pour-over and cold brew to go.The service is phenomenal. All my questions were answered. The female employee was very knowledgable and makes THE BEST pour-over I’ve had in a shop. Perfect grind. Perfect ratio.The decaf beans are easily the best I’ve had. Most would have no idea they’re sipping on decaf. Very flavorful! The Rwanda is a nice step into a different flavor from Ethiopian varieties. Sweet and fruity, but a great mild spicey-ness on the tongue. Insane mouthfeel.The hoodies are very soft and the logo on the breast is awesome! Very fair price, too.Get here soon. And don’t hesitate to buy bags.

Amazing coffee. Amazing house-made almond milk! It’s to die for. Possibly the best coffee shop I’ve ever been to. You MUST try this place! I can not recommend it enough! These people go above and beyond.

Almost painfully trendy set up. Nice clean lines, though, and it is refreshing to have an uncluttered space, although it feels a little unwelcoming. I got a macchiato, which came in a tiny cup. That was a surprise! It packs a real punch and smells lovely. Full flavour but bitter. I think I have been spoiled by my usual coffee shop; they also roast on site but have a much smoother flavour.Likely wont revisit unless Im in the area. Willing to admit I might not have a sophisticated enough palate for this place based on the rave reviews. I recommend checking them out, even if I cant gush about them. They are worth a visit and I do think local stores deserve our business. Barista was friendly and genuine.

This was a really simple local coffee shop. The small space is clean and bright and they had some tasteful artwork from a local artist up. I got an ice coffee and they made a pour-over on the spot. It looks like they have some classes/cuppings scheduled and little events like that can be fun to stop by. Their menu is focused, not overwhelming, and they have a couple nice pastries for sale as well. Best third-wave coffee place Ive found in the area so far

Great coffee shop and more. This is an Akron downtown jewel.

The atmosphere is top notch.

Absolutely amazing coffee and excellent service. Even during a pandemic it was a wonderful coffee experience!

Their chocolate ice cream affogato is delicious! Its a very small space and I didnt feel comfortable having an intense conversation with my friend because I felt like everyone could hear every word, but a very nice atmosphere for a casual cup of coffee with friends. I recommend it.

What a great little coffee shop. The quality of the beans and roasting surpasses all other coffee places in the area. The people there are very welcoming and accommodating.

BOTTOM LINE : very good coffee, but the aesthetic and vibe is a bit stiff and cold to make this a cozy coffee shopPRO : great coffee, professional and kind staff, fun location with easy access to downtown (get an ice cream next door, after!)CON : prices are high, but not unjustified for the quality. not a con, more of an FYI

Biking on the freedom trail we stopped here for a maple almond cortado. My wife and I loved them we also had avacado toast fantastic. The barista was awesome very nice and our dog loved sitting outside. I recommend that you go here

Very nice coffee shop. The workers are very friendly and the coffee is great! The cappuccino is my favorite here.

Chicken Gumbo was good. Husbands curried chicken salad also good. The curry was noticeable yet it did not overwhelm. After snacking our way thru the Westside Market this was perfect for lunch. Nothing fancy but very good, loud, filled with locals and tourists and people in town for business. I know this cause you could hear just about everything everyone was saying.

Just had the best cup of coffee in my life! Try the Kenyan blend pour over… from the décor to answering my dumb questions you can tell they genuinely care about what they do!

BEST COFFEE and BEST COFFEE SHOP in Akron! Ive been waiting for a true coffee shop to come to Akron that knows how to make real espresso drinks and this is it. The atmosphere and staff are great and weve been making the drive across town for this fantastic place! They also offer an excellent coffee subscription service. Check out Akron Coffee Roasters - you wont be disappointed!

Very friendly staff. Perfect macchiato.

Good coffee and service - clean place too.

Simply the best coffee in Akron! After moving away from Columbus and the capital’s awesome shops, we are thrilled the Akron’s coffee is even better! Dear god...get a latte and taste the difference!!!

They have very good coffee. This company is a staple in our community. The roaster in the store makes it smell delicious inside.

This place take precision coffee making to the next level. Leaps and bounds better than Starbucks and it wont kill your wallet. Slightly pretentious, but cant argue with the quality of coffee. Best in Akron hands down.

Pass this place every day on my commute. a barista at another coffee place actually recommended this place to me 😂. said it was his favorite coffee. i finally went this morning. very pleasant and friendly barista! great service. got a black iced coffee and it has literally been on my mind all day since. almost went a second time on my way home. SO good.

SUCH GOOD COFFEE. Friendly staff, great atmosphere and the best pastries and desserts

Akron Coffee Roasters is always a wonderful experience! The only thing that tops the fantastic coffee is their exceptional customer service. On of my top 5 coffee shops in northern Ohio (maybe even #1!) - keep up the great work folks!

My recommendation: go order the Honey Cortada. By far my favorite coffee to be had in Akron! However, all of their beverages are good, they roast quality beans in a small but aesthetically pleasing space right on High street. For anyone who works in downtown Akron, it is definitely worth the walk to get the best coffee around.

Love when the simplest thing has love put into it. Cute lil coffee shop for all coffee lovers.

This is a true coffee shop. The coffee is the best in the area, hands down. The space is small but comfortable. The staff is knowledgeable and can help suggest something for your taste. I highly suggest giving it a try!

Very pleasant and modern looking location in downtown Akron. They roast there beans onsite and create there coffees within minutes. There baristas are polite and knowledgable. They will help you find a good brew for you or something that will fit your tastes. Definitely would recommend to anyone who enjoys a quality cup of coffee

Great coffee, great people. I come here often. Bought coffee for a bridal shower, they also ground it for me there; I had many people complimented the coffee, even the decaf coffee tasted great.

Chill atmosphere, comfy seats, very friendly and helpful staff. Witnessed them chatting with other customers about coffee types, machines/equipment. Sadly it was all a bit over my head!

Even if Downtown Akron was buried in coffee joints (which it is not,) this shop would still be The Crema of the Crop. Akron Coffee Roasters offers a limited selection of coffee beverages, roasted in house and prepared to perfection. Food selections on the date of my visit were a trio of sliced artisan breads, toasted and topped in perfect harmony with the beverages. Shop was clean, pleasant and brightly lit, with plenty of on-street parking spaces immediately proximate to the shop. Got Coffee? If not, go here!

Excellent coffee. Great look and feel. Not very much seating but it feels nice and cozy. Friendly and welcoming staff. Free WiFi.

If you want a great coffee that you wont want or need to put any thing in it, this is the place. So perfectly roasted specialty coffee that Im ruined for anything less. There espresso shots they pull just could not be any better.

My New Years resolution was to visit more coffee shops, and after reading the reviews I thought that this would be a great place to add to my list, boy was I wrong. Akron Coffee Roasters is not somewhere that you can go in and get work done, the uncomforting environment forces you to get a coffee to go. An OVERPRICED coffee to go. If you like coffee with no flavor, well you found your new perfect coffee shop. I am all for supporting local, but if I could ask for my money back I would love to. I paid $4 for the smallest coffee Ive ever received. If you want options, good luck!! The menu consists of about 5 overpriced small coffees. I stared at the menu hoping something else would appear but of course nothing else did. So I decided to get one of the limited menu items considering I had already driven 15 minutes to try this amazing coffee shop. You would think with a small, not busy shop you could get your coffee quick but then again you would be wrong. Overall this coffee shop experience was a waste of my time and my money.

Delicious coffee and clean atmosphere. Helpful and friendly staff. Very small sitting area.

Simple, delicious, friendly service. It’s a good place to go if you just want a regular cup of coffee, not some fancy flavored thing that you have to order in Italian 😆

Drip coffee customized for you. It was full at 7:30am in the morning when we entered and the great coffee is clearly the reason why

I ordered an excellent almond milk maple cortado.On top of that the almond milk is made in-house. I will definitely return here when in the area.If youre looking for a great coffee shop in Akron this spot is for you.Picked up a baratza encore here $10 cheaper then Amazon as an added bonus.

Outstanding high quality coffee and service.

Where did we even go before Akron Coffee existed?! We were lost in a sea of over-roasted sadness before they arrived. The atmosphere is a calm welcome of serenity that is often blessed by Alberts luscious locks. I wont get coffee anywhere else in Akron!

Best coffee drinks in north east Ohio, try the honey cortado

I get all my coffee here- the espresso blend makes the best, smoothest coffee Ive ever had. I get the whole bean but you can get any grind you need. Try a cup or two in the shop and then go home with a bag of your favorite freshly roasted beans.

The Akron honey cortado is absolutely Amazing! They know their stuff here! The interior design in beautiful but I found it off putting there is not restroom...made if feel like they didnt want you to stick around and hang out.

Great place with a nice, calming vibe to it. Great coffee!!!! Love their Interrobang roast as its quickly become my favorite.
