Tasting it was NOT a disappoint....it was DELICIOUS. The place had a lot of indoor seating and it is very bohemia-ish in the decor.

You find so much the same, seemingly caught in time, and other things have greatly changed. Goldberry is one of those "new to me" additions to Ashland, and every time I walk through its doors, I find myself grateful that it is a part of this town's growth and change. Brightly lit, warmly modern, with touches of wood, crisp white, and greenery, the shop holds ample space to gather together with friends or sit comfortably by oneself, sipping an espresso, cortado, or dirty chai with almond milk (my personal choice today) while people-watching or reading a book. Tall windows line the front of the building, looking out upon a bustling parking lot and side-street as multiple baristas efficiently work away behind the bar. Fresh donuts were being sold at a stand as I entered, along with bagged beans and a variety of other bottled/canned beverages. People sat outside, in groups around larger tables, or in more relaxed leather chairs, animatedly caught up in conversation. Goldberry feels like a true 'third place' in Ashland - not your home, not your workplace, but that third place where you go to meet friends, begin your day, or center yourself before stepping out into the world. It's fittingly named in that light, given that Goldberry is the warmly welcoming, hospitable, and wise woman in JRR Tolkien's work who offers comfort and guidance to questing hobbits, the beautiful and mysterious 'river-woman's daughter' who married the enigmatic Tom Bombadil, a man whose magic was older than time. This coffee shop is all of those things: welcoming, warm, bright, and more than a little magical, glowing like a water-washed jewel - or fairly-sourced coffee bean - in the midst of this ever-changing tiny mid-Ohio town. I'll be back.

Each of us were asked to bring something from our hometown, so I brought "Coffee Bill", since William McKinley is such a big part of Canton's history. For the conference, we stayed at a historic hotel that was beautiful, but it had terrible coffee. Enter Cherry Blend. Every single one of them thanked me for bringing this coffee, because all of us brewed that in our rooms, instead of what the hotel provided. I am going to use their coffee in my small business and we came up with some cool ideas about how to do so. Undoubtedly this is one of the most knowledgeable couples you will ever meet when it comes to coffee. We had such an interesting dialogue about the sourcing, roasting, and marketing of coffee. I have now tasted three different blends and I loved each unique one. When in question, be sure to support local businesses, especially THIS one.

Pearl Coffee Company is a staple coffee wholesale and supply company that has served Akron, Ohio…read moreand abroad for over 100 years. I discovered Pearl a few years ago through word of mouth and my employer where Pearl Coffee was sold and served. This is a review of my personal visits to their place of business on Broadway. In the last 5 months I've bought a pound of coffee every several weeks. I usually showed up on a weekday shortly before closing. I've tried a single origin Ethiopian, their Pumpkin Spice blend, and their Diana Blend. For my experience purchasing coffee and asking about available coffee it seems Pearl primarily roasts medium to dark coffees. The Diana Blend is their lightest roast. I usually drink single origin light roasts from microroasters and their Diana Blend is more like a medium roast. The Diana Blend is a really enjoyable blend and it's no wonder it is their best selling. It's consistently good as well. I think they have over 30 different coffees, from Pumpkin Spice to single origins from Ethiopia. I like the variety. Whole bean and ground coffee available. They also sell syrups, some tea bags and other season items. Buying at their Broadway location is easy and simple. When I first visited I didn't know what I wanted and they were able to offer me a couple coffees based on my preferences. I've stuck with the Diana Blend because it's good and right now it's $7.50 a pound. I believe you can order ahead and pick up at the store. I've seen orders sitting out. The staff are very nice and friendly. Walking into the store is like walking back into history with the pictures and newspapers clippings on the walls telling the history of Pearl Coffee and the old coffee equipment on display. Their connection to the local community and relationship with their patrons is evidenced by the many pictures of their patrons on the walls. Their is also a little section in the back with other coffee decorative items, I believe. I sort of remember wandering back there while waiting. Try some coffee from Pearl Coffee. I recommend their Diana Blend.

The coffee shop was the most impressive, but that just fits what I looking for. It may be different for someone else. It has a lot of space to sit and move around. There's an upstairs level (I do not believe it's handicap accessible) and it's surprisingly roomy up there. Lots of artifacts to look at. You can tell they've worked hard on renovating this building and what they have is impressive. I was here on a very busy Saturday afternoon with my family We ordered a cold brew for me and vanilla frappe for one child and frozen hot chocolate for the other. I'd say this way the only miss: none of us really liked our drinks. That was surprising. Otherwise, I liked the place, the service, and pretty much everything about it. I'd definitely go in there for everything else and just try a different drink next time.
