Also these were some of the nicest employees I've come across in a long time. Definitely noteworthy. My drink was very good, and I grabbed a pastry that I couldn't resist. It was a rhubarb danish, and it was so so good! I was pleasantly surprised that it was as tasty as it looked. 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. If you're on the towpath, it's a nice place to stop in after a walk/run. Overall rating: 4.7/5 stars

Inside is small so I have never stayed, always opting to get my drinks to go. Today the barista was very standoffish...perhaps she was just having a bad day but it left me with a not so great impression. The drinks are also a bit pricey and they charge a 3% convenience fee for card payments. Not a bad spot, but not my personal favorite.

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.

This Starbucks is in the middle of campus, which has its pros and cons. I usually stop by here in…read morethe mornings before teaching, and it is quiet between 7am-8am. If you get there around 8:30am or 9:00am, however, forget it! Crazy lines, and orders get immensely backed up. Typically Starbucks fare. However, since it is a campus location, when they run out of products towards the end of the year/holiday, that's it. Keep that in mind if you're looking for your favorite muffin! Also - they don't take all rewards/coupons there. I'm a gold card member, and my rewards on my card don't work there. Something to think about before visiting if that was your intent!

Yes, it's Starbucks. But after a good experience here yesterday, I'm going to go ahead and review…read moreit. Let me be clear - I didn't even order a drink here, so this review is just about the atmosphere. I was here to interview a high school senior who applied to my alma mater, and since he worked after school at UAkron, we decided to meet here. Parking - if you're not a student, not great. I managed to snag a metered spot (1 hour max) outside the union, but there weren't many of those. The Starbucks was also a little hard to find - it's all the way at the end of the union. Wifi - even nonstudents can access the UAkron guest network. However, I found it to be really slow, and it kept kicking me off so I had to reload a lot of pages. Not ideal, but since most people here are students...not a huge issue. However - the space is laid out great. There's ample chairs, ranging from standard hard plastic cafe chairs to armchairs to leather chairs. As a bonus, some chairs have cupholders and a little swing-out writing/laptop surface: perfect for studying, reading, taking notes, using your computer, etc. There's a really good amount of tables too: this place was clearly designed with a large student population in mind. The staff was being helpful to other groups, helping some UAkron organization set up at their tables. Anyway, well done Starbucks/designers of the union!

The workers were so nice. They have a rewards stamp card for their drinks. I also asked about their pastries - and they have a rotating menu (the options aren't always the same).

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.
