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.
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.
Delicious coffee and house made almond milk. Friendly staff! Digging the tiger art vibes. No chai tea available. Would come back and recommend.
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.
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.
GLORIOUS two cups of coffee today from Albert!Visiting Goodyear from Detroit, drove past 17 Starbucks from hotel IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION to find My People, and boy oh boy did I! The Papau New Guinea was a revelation, and the Honduran changed my life. NOTHING CAN STOP ME NOW!
Some of the best coffee Ive had in Akron. I had a pour over with the beans from Kenya. Amazing! I highly recommend it.
Wonderful little no-nonsense coffee shop. They make their matches the right way. Their merch is beautiful and I want it all. 😍
Friendly and delicious. Great options, I love when coffee shops offer a pour over coffee.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Didn’t know what to expect.Amazing Coffee and super nice Baristas!! Highly Recommended.
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.
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.
Great coffee and a wonderful staff.
AMAZING coffee in a cool and vibrant shop! The BEST in Akron!
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.
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.
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!!
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
Beautiful shop in a cool neighborhood. Very friendly, knowledgeable service and awesome single origin coffee!
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.
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
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.
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.
This is by far the best cup of coffee in Akron. No thrills, no frills, just Java.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
This place is legit!! Tried 3 different flavors in espresso drinks and all absolutely delicious.
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.
Amazing coffee! And the staff was super friendly. I also fell in love with the artwork/photographs hanging on the walls.
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!
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.
Beautiful coffee that actually tastes really good! Worth a shot.
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.
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.
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!
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.
This is one of my favorite coffee shops in northeast Ohio. Its a bit small, but it more than makes up for that with excellent coffee and a great staff. I come here regularly and always look forward to it.
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!!!
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.
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!
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.
Fantastic espresso, went to Brazil in may where the espressos are amazing and when I came back I tried Akron Coffee Roasters and was blown away by the similarities. The baristas are always very friendly and knowledgeable.
Smell that? Of course you dont....cuz you arent here. The smell of coffee is giving me the goosies. Dont be that person, get off your bum and come. Hey, I rhymed! Im a poet and I didnt even know it. I have had this in my short list for a while now. I was in Akron having dinner with the most amazing Yelper alive (Laurie) and we needed some coffee. STAT! This was the perfect chance to try this place.
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!
Best coffee shop around! Great people to chat with! And incredibly delicious coffee! Thank you! Keep it up!
Always delicious and flavorful pour overs, friendly staff, and the new outdoor space is perfect for fall
Excellent coffee. Great look and feel. Not very much seating but it feels nice and cozy. Friendly and welcoming staff. Free WiFi.
Not even a big coffee drinker and I love this place. The Honey Cortado is amazing!
Akron Coffee Roasters is unlike any other shop or roaster in the area, serving lighter roasts with more flavor in a perfectly spartan environment accentuated by just enough local art, often with an edge, to give the bright, cozy room some personality.
Amazing coffee. I also like the comics on the wall
Best black coffee available. The coffee is roasted well and has great depth in taste.
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 😆
Great place with a nice, calming vibe to it. Great coffee!!!! Love their Interrobang roast as its quickly become my favorite.
Very nice coffee shop. The workers are very friendly and the coffee is great! The cappuccino is my favorite here.
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!
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!
They have very good coffee. This company is a staple in our community. The roaster in the store makes it smell delicious inside.
Been to asterisk many times, hadnt checked this place out. Glad I went. Loved my pour-over.
Always enjoy stopping in to grab some delicious fresh roasted coffee and an espresso. Highly recommend!
Hands down best coffee! And always a pleasure to visit. Thanks for the drinks! :)
A special variety of freshly roasted coffee beans - great taste whether hot coffee or iced coffee. Have enjoyed sharing with our friends in Hickory, NC
Its local its fresh, Akron Coffee Roasters is the best places in Akron to a cup of joe! Cannot recommend this highly enough. I LOVE the coffee!
Committed to letting the bean strut its stuff, Akron Coffee roasters bring out the inherent flavors in the coffee through their approach to roasting and brewing coffee. Great hospitality, kewl shop, delicious coffee.
Awesome coffee, great place off the beaten path.My only critique is that the staff doesnt seem to be very warm and friendly.
Internal design is wonderfully clean and minimal. Latte was exceptional. Will be back when Im in Akron.
Great service, a friendly staff and an amazing selection of beans with a very cool atmosphere. all of the things required for a killer coffee shop!
Amazing coffee! Amazing service! Very knowledgeable of their products. If you love coffee you have to try Akron Coffee Roasters!!
Cortado is very nice. Lovely place.
Absolutely amazing coffee and excellent service. Even during a pandemic it was a wonderful coffee experience!
Great coffee and genuine good service. Like going to your sisters house.
FINALLY. Akron has needed a legitimate craft coffee roaster/bar and Akron Coffee Roasters filled that need.Beautifully crafted roasts, genuinely friendly baristas, great atmosphere & decor. Just what Akron needed.
Very nice latte art
Hannah was so welcoming that I didn’t even feel like I was in a coffee shop, more like over at a friend’s house. The coffee was excellent, too!!
Delicious coffee and clean atmosphere. Helpful and friendly staff. Very small sitting area.
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
Great coffee, great people. Love the sitting area, art you can purchase. And did I mention great coffee???
Great coffee! Great service! Bad parking but not their fault! Worth the traffic hustle for sure.
Flat field, nice if thats your thing.
Really great place to get coffee! great atmosphere
Akron Coffee Roasters is amazing. Great coffee (and tea), cozy atmosphere, and wonderful staff.
They really know their coffee here!
I was in town for a manufacturing convention and stopped here for coffee. Not my type of spot to hang out at. Not a lot of space for people, and it is more of a specialty coffee place, Not your typical coffee shop.
One of the best almond milk lattes Ive ever had. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere.
SUCH GOOD COFFEE. Friendly staff, great atmosphere and the best pastries and desserts
Great atmosphere with very friendly employees. They are willing to help if you are unsure about the ins and outs of high end coffee.

This coffee shop is Racist! If your black dont bother going in bc you will be mistreated and not welcomed. 👎🏾
I stopped on for a cup of coffee and had a great pour over with some freshly rotated Haitian coffee. I really enjoyed it.
Delight spot with great coffee. 4 stars because I waited 20 minutes for a macchiato.

Nice and quiet atmosphere with one of the best coffee blends Ive ever tasted
Amazing coffee. I would say that they have the cleanest looking aesthetic in Akron :)

2022-07-16The coffee is great, the space is lovely, the people are friendly, this place really delivers! Their small scale setup really provides those who brew at home with the freshest beans possible as I was able to get a bag of beans that was roasted the day prior to purchase! Really love this place, I was just passing through on my visit as I’m from Columbus, but I’ll definitely be stopping by again whenever I’m back in town!
Review №2
2022-05-11Wonderful coffee roasted in-house. Very friendly staff, I will visit this place every time I’m in Akron.
Review №3
2022-06-24The base espresso has a great flavor. The latte/cortado drinks they make complement the flavor rather than bury it in syrup. This is a coffee place which is about the coffee, rather than the coffee milkshake beverage. So far the best coffee Ive had in the Akron/Canton area.
Review №4
2022-04-17Friendly 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!
Review №5
2022-06-12Best locally roasted beans I’ve found. The staff is always friendly and don’t make me feel unwelcome unlike some other local coffee shop I’ve visited in Highland Square. The focus here is on the coffee with none of the fluff.
Review №6
2022-06-19My drink was made with care. It was not rushed and I could tell how much the barista wanted it to be good quality and it was worth it. My iced matcha latte was the best matcha latte I’ve ever had. I only visited yesterday with my mom and we have already brought up going again multiple times.
Review №7
2022-03-23I live closer to Cle and have not found a coffee shop I’m impressed with. Akron city roasters has changed that! Seriously the best maple cortado in all of NE Ohio!
Review №8
2020-10-05They 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.
Review №9
2021-06-06I 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.

2020-01-03Must 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.
