This review is only for their Sunday brunch, as I have never been here in any other capacity. Met…read moresome friends on a Sunday morning and were seated right away. The menu had several options so a couple of us had a hard time choosing but between the four of us we ended up getting the sunrise sammy, huevos enchiladas lasagna, mango bacon goat waffle, and poblano cheddar waffle, as well as a blueberry lemon scone and a coffee. I will say the coffee was pretty decent and the food came out quickly. Unfortunately however, none of us were impressed by our dishes. For the price, the size of the plates and the quality of the food was not worth it. The huevos had too much sauce and not enough spice, the hash browns were mushy, and the waffles were dry and flavorless. The blueberry lemon scone didn't have any lemon flavor at all and was like weirdly wet. The food sounded unique and delicious and we were all excited to try it but left disappointed. They also charge a 3% credit card fee. That said, our server was amazing and it was a cool spot so I'd check it out for music in the evenings, but brunch just fell flat for us.

The space is filled with amazing art for sale and tons of disco balls, which are completely my style. I couldn't stop taking it all in--I loved every detail! The cocktail we ordered was not only super fun but also absolutely delicious. The bartender was so kind, fun, and really added to the experience. This spot is perfect for a date or a night out with friends. Bonus: I found out there's going to be a DJ every Saturday night for the foreseeable future. If you're looking for a cool, unique place to hang out, Baxter's is definitely worth checking out! There's some pretty cool stuff goin on in Akron

The main level has been redone as a coffee shop with ample seating areas, and it was full of customers on a Thursday afternoon working on laptops and meeting with friends.

The high-quality Pendleton blankets have moved upstairs along with a vintage clothing room. They have a resident photographer and multiple event spaces available. Why run one small business when you put multiple offerings into one historic building?? I look forward to drinking a beer and listening to live music in the back when the weather warms up.

They have no ventilation or fans or windows in this ancient building so when the temperature was 89 outside, it was 101+ degrees in there! It was absolutely horrific and I'm not sure how the workers could stand it! Avoid coming here when temps are above 80 outside! Love their seasonal items up front and how items are arranged. Love the candles, the interesting scent oils and specially curated books they sell. Prices were rather high though and it's kind of a hodgepodge of things. There is an attached music venue and bar counter where you can buy hard and soft drinks. Bought a bottle of water and soda for $9! Soooo yeah...crazy prices for bottled drinks! The downstairs is an art gallery with local artists' work that you can buy and jewelry and stationery items! I think the shop is also attached on the side to a coffee shop so there are a few armchairs to sit, more books in that room and the only bathroom I noticed. Definitely a cute place to browse and pass time if you're waiting on something/someone!

For those who need a wheelchair entrance- they had one setup in the front. The portions of food are generous! The staff is super kind. And, it has a very intimate vibe to it. There were musicians playing in the entryway when we stopped in. The cheese board and wine could have filled me up by itself. But, I also ordered a flatbread. I was amazed when 2 generously sized flatbreads came out. 10/10, definitely recommend.

They have a large selection of house wines as well as other brands. The server was kind but didn't seem very knowledgeable about the wine. All the dishes are enormous and meant to be shared. We shared the goat cheese with blackberry preserves and a Genoa flatbread and even with the three of us, we had a lot to take home with us. The duo and the flatbread were both incredible. The flatbread is actually two whole flatbreads and the dip was the size of a dinner plate. They were kind to get us an extra loaf of bread to go with the dip because we ran out. Their kitchen closed at 8 even though they were open until 9. That was about annoying because we considered ordering an additional dish but worked out fine since the dishes were so large.
