My BF lives very close to this place and for a long time, I've begged him to take me for brunch. It…read moretook multiple attempts because apparently, this place is the most popular place in Akron. We had to call beforehand, and really commit to coming here because it is CROWDED. Even after calling about wait times, we waited for another 20 some minutes on a Sunday. Yeesh! Service was friendly and good. Food was...fine. Not as spectacular as I was expecting. Their maple butter was fire though! The waffles were good but again, not memorable. I consider this a one and done unless it really wowed me. I had that craving, I finally came here and yeah...I'm good! No regrets. Happy to check out other local brunch places in Akron!

Food was good - personally, I think it a little difficult to mess up breakfast basics, but this was…read moregood. Nothing overly special. However, our server was real fun! She was very engaging, got the dad jokes my hubs and his friend always think are fire, and one upped them almost every time. We'd go back just to have her serve our table again!!

I've been fortunate enough to travel all over the world and dine at restaurants ranging from…read moreMichelin-starred establishments to hidden neighborhood gems. I can honestly say The Blue Door has earned a place among the very best meals I've ever had. What amazed me most wasn't just that every dish was delicious--it was that every single plate had its own identity. Nothing tasted repetitive or safe. Each course was thoughtfully composed with bold flavors, beautiful presentation, and combinations I never would have imagined working together... yet they absolutely did. Beyond the food, every plate looked like a work of art. You could tell the kitchen artists take immense pride in presentation without sacrificing flavor. The service was warm, knowledgeable, and perfectly paced. We never felt rushed, and every recommendation was spot on. If someone asked me where to experience one of the best dining experiences in Ohio, I wouldn't hesitate for a second. I'd tell them to drive to The Blue Door in Cuyahoga Falls. This wasn't just dinner. It was an experience.

I had heard that this was an incredible place to try for breakfast. Unfortunately, it didn't stand…read moreup to the hype. The biggest disappointment was that the food was cold. It looked like it could have been good if it hadn't have sat out so long before it was brought to the table. Potatoes were cold. Toast was cold. Quiche was cold. The server, on the other hand, was incredible. He was attentive, friendly and a true star in our bad food experience. There were two of us, and the total for breakfast plus two coffees and tip was more than $70. Portions are huge. Ambiance was nice. Sad it didn't knock it out of the park.

We came here upon recommendation by my BF's family. It was fine but a little too common/generic for…read moreme. They had a pretty big menu and service was medium-paced. I ordered the waffle blimp but there was nothing extra or special about it. I even asked the server who just repeated what it came with from the menu. I was hoping for at least a fruit topping or the simplest garnish of whipped cream or something but nope, just a very thick regular waffle. I chose sausages as my meat side and they were skinny and burnt. BF got the biscuits and gravy and the gravy not only had no sausage, it was only thickened with flour so it was grey looking and pretty bland without the meat au jus. They didn't make their own jam or butter (some diners have whipped or flavored butter), or real maple syrup. Ingredients were cheaper and prices are higher here than expected. I did like the space and the building. Parking lot was really cramped but there was plenty of seating inside and it was nicely lit. We came at a normal brunch time on a Sunday and did not have to wait long at all!

Ketchup comes from the Hokkien Chinese word, kê-tsiap, the name of a sauce derived from fermented fish. It is believed that traders brought fish sauce from Vietnam to southeastern China. The British likely encountered ketchup in Southeast Asia, returned home, and tried to replicate the fermented dark sauce.

Finally, I was told that my order was picked up by someone else, and I would have to wait another 45 minutes for my order. I was also given $30 in bonus bucks to cover the order for three people. UNACCEPTABLE! My order should have taken priority. Management is incompetent and needs a refresher course in customer service and logic. Logically my order should have taken priority.

They had both breakfast and lunch offerings, as well as a specials menu. Two in our party ordered the BLT with added avocado from the lunch menu, one of us got the western omelette combo from the specials menu, and I ordered the spinach avocado quesadilla from the breakfast menu. Service was friendly but a little slow, although we were chatting so we didn't mind. The couple that ordered the BLTs were pleased with them and I enjoyed my egg, spinach, and avocado quesadilla. It was HUGE and the sriracha cream dipping sauce that came on the side was especially delicious. The only let down was the western omelette combo...it came with two weirdly tiny omelettes and a small scoop of potatoes and was $21. Meanwhile my giant quesadilla was only $13 - a deal! Our server said she was new and didn't know much about the omelette combo so I am wondering if it was not the right thing. That was a bummer but the rest of the food was on point so we just wouldn't get a combo like that again. All in all a though a pretty good experience overall. Thank you, Breakfast at Tiffani's!

One minor gripe: the mac and cheese is a little one-note. It's not bad, it just doesn't surprise you.
